Don't know what to do!!

onelilhorangi Posts: 42 Joined: 2002/10/31	2007/10/01, 07:04 PM After a very stressful ordeal with the death of a family member I had to get my gallbladder taken out. Ever since then I've had to get a mouthguard and my hair is alittle thin. I have dark circles around my eyes and stomach issues galore. I used to be anorexic but that was in middle school and I am not even close to that. I am now 30Ibs overweight. The doctor said my hair should of grown back. I also have dark pigment spots on my head due to stress. I don't know what to do. I am not depressed nor is my life that stressful now (ie. I took a break from school to reduce stress but so far no change). I do struggle with my weight and I run at least 4x a week and strength train every other day. I try to eat healthy but I do eat junk such as whoppers but maybe once a week. I am afraid to eat most foods such as salads because I get gassy. I can actually feel the gas moving in my stomach sometimes. I am also a sugar addict. Ok.. the question is should I detox? Will detoxing help or would a fasting diet help? I know I will lose muscle but will it help or am I being drastic and I should just eat really clean and it may clear up on its own? Has anyone had these issues? I just don't know the next step to get better? Any helpful advance would be greatly appreciated.

Just start on a diet you can continue to do. Crash dieting is never the answer, and it has been my experience that diets that include a detox are generally crash diets that are trying to show results in the short term. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Mortal by birth.

Sensible eating habits will get you back on track. It is not a miracle and not acute, but chronic in its effects. In other words, give things time. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
