On my quest to lose weight, I have tried everything from fad diets, pills, surgery to exercise. And I’ve gone beyond with trying to figure out why I have such a problem no matter what I do. Well after having yet another trainer work with me, I again became frustrated and started researching why this option, yet again has not worked. In my research, I found a metabolic specialist and figured this was my answer!
I had my first appointment on 2/2. My metabolism was measured, my body fat, lean mass, hydration and my food intake analyzed. After 1.5 hours, I have stumped yet another professional. While I chuckled it off while talking to the woman, joking that this seems to be the answer I get no matter whom I speak to, it really bothered me that I am exhausting yet another avenue without an answer. I left there and was not going to wait for the next steps in figuring out my issue. I called my insurance company and found a local lab, walked in and began my glucose testing. This was not fun whatsoever, I am one of those that does not have “good” veins for withdrawing blood. So after getting blood taken 8 times, equaling out to be about 20 vials of blood it was over. Now the wait. I visit the doctor on 2/17 to see if anything shows from my blood work.
Right now I’m lost, not sure how to eat, what to eat. I am continuing to exercise, but for so long I’ve been told what to eat or had an idea of what diet I wanted to do that I knew what I felt I needed to do. Since my appointment I have no idea, everything I have known and this professional dietitian has known was erased in my results and left her speechless. If she’s speechless, then who am I to look to? She definitely said do not fast since that’s my easy answer for most things but without more research she couldn’t give me other advice.
I really hope the 17th brings some sort of answer, even if not good, I’d rather know something/anything.
In the meantime, since I seem to be a girl that stuns most around her with her strength and muscle mass, want to come work out with me so I can get a little competition since that amuses me?
