Nordik -- Thanks AGAIN!

I will try upping the fish oil. My only carbs for the last three weeks have come from veggies -- no sugar, no grains, no potatoes/corn.

Calories are in the 1200-1300 range. Honestly, I've tried to be very good with the diet.

I realize you are not a doctor, but I greatly appreciate the advise.

Positive change will happen soon enough. I know it will.

No problem, lou.

Another thing I wanted to point out is that some times when dieting, people will actually under eat to much and that causes the body to go into starvation mode and hold onto fat and slowly eat away at muscle tissue and bone calcium for nutrients.

In a case like that, it may actually help to increase your calories a bit for awhile and then drop them once your body adapts.

If you or anyone else decides to do something like that, increase the calories through protein and/or fat.

Just something to keep in mind if you or anyone else reading this decides to experiment with their diets.

jocus, my issue is weight loss as well, but it was even prior to lyme; it's always been difficult for me to gain/maintain weight. lyme has made that problem worse.

you're definitely not alone.
