-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hubbie is worried about my weight and says go to jenny craig.
he knows i'm having a tough time with lyme and now with this weight thing. i've tried every diet on the market, na da.
i was on jenny craig many many years ago and lost a bunch of weight and liked the food too, especially eating three times a day.
so hubbie says we'll come up with the money, i buy what i want, so it's only fair. go, don't worry about it, just do it, and we'll deal with it.
so now i've got the ok and i'm afraid to go...how will dieting affect the lyme? it's a natural way to loose and you're eating more fruits and vegetables.
so are there are tips for the jenny craig diet? and, yep, no sugar, no soft drinks, etc.
i just feel bad about the money, but hey, considering what i've spent already on lyme, this is cheap.
i feel this would help my breathing problems and also my legs, etc.
soooo would you do it?

Have you ever tried the gluten/casein free diet? All of my lyme symptoms went away when I did that, AND I lost weight. I'm not sure why gulten and lyme are related, but I know many have issues with it. Even if you don't have celiac symptoms, I think it would be worth a try. You could just go with strickly fruits/veggies and meats if the budget is an issue.
Give it some thought. Any kind of diet is hard, but one that might help you feel better and loose weight would be first on my list!!!

I liked the Jenny Craig diet as well but it didn't work very well for me becasue I have adrenal fatigue due to the Lyme. I did lose 7 pds but it took a long time and I was very good about staying on the diet. There is a reason you are gaining weight and it really doesn't have a lot to do with the amount of food your eating. It seems that some lyme infected patients gain lots of weight while others continue to lose it.
