I met the new dietician at my hospital appointment. she was very pleasent and it was a getting to know you meeting. When I explained that I was 20st 11 (US 2991pounds) in January of this year and when weighed right there, I was 18st 12 (US 2976 pounds) She said I was doing very well, considering I had arthitis and hypothyriosim which made exercise

I have low blood pressure to, though not to the same level as yours. It was my low blood pressure when I am twice the weight I should be, that gave me the clue I was hypothyriodic. It wasn't my medical team that spotted it.

Proceed food has very little in the way of a full mineral content even when they have delibrately put in a whole host of vitamins. Some minerals are needed to process those vitamins and the lack of themcan cause serious illnesses. It is also often full of transfat, which the body can't cope with and just stores because it can't eliminate it nor use it.

I've had the "Oh all your symptoms are due to your overweight for at least 20 years or more". And as such my weight has both increased and so has my illhealth. Then you get lectures that if you'd stay slim you wouldn't be ill. I have told them straight. I was mildly ill and that caused my putting on weight and putting on weight has made me more ill, not the other way around. So I need to deal with the cause not the symptom, to that end I have asked for a whole host of blood tests on what vitamin and mineral shortages I have. This list wasn't entitley complete but my doctor did do most of them and I find that a lot of tests show that my levels are on the bottom of normal or under it.
