how to lose weight with adrenal fatigue

[Annabel]

Hi Annc3333,

Hormonal imbalances and adrenal fatigue can definitely contribute to stubborn weight gain.

I would say that addressing your stress levels is the first order of business. It sounds like you’ve come a long way with that already. But your yo-yo dieting is putting stress on your body that it just doesn’t need right now.

It would also be good to know what you are eating. You mentioned a few foods that you can’t eat, but what does your daily diet look like?

As for exercise, how about a biking, swimming, or even the exercise bike in the gym? It’s important to stay active.

Thanks for the reply, Annabel. My daily diet is 100% clean because I have IC and vulvodynia, if I eat processed foods I have pain. My foods are pretty much: milk and greek yogurt, blueberries, most vegetables, beef, chicken and fish, sunflower seed butter (organic, nothing added), butter and olive oil for added fats, rice cakes, a sweet potato now and again, and lots of salt about the only seasoning I can use. About two to three times a month we are out for dinner and I eat whatever is served, including desserts and bread, sometimes I’ll have some dark chocolate at night. When I am dieting it is hard to get below about 1300 a day wihtout waking up like I said above.

Yesterday I moved all my meals later–breakfast at noon, lunch at 4 and dinner around 8 and I slept great. What do you think about trying that? Am I making things worse by not eating in the morning?

Sorry for going on so much. And thanks again for your thoughts.
