Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi! Long time no chat! Sorry to hear about your anemia but also congrats on getting to the root of the problem..thats always such a relief. Are you basing your calories burnt on what the treadmill tells you? Because you shouldn't. Its not accurate. As a nutritionist-to-be and aerobics instructor (haven't taught for a while but I remember my stuff) I would recommend that you vary your cardio routine and add weights instead of just doing the same old thing each time at the gym. The body reaches a real plateau with repetitive exercise (like, I used to be able to teach 3 classes in a row for aerobics, but walking up a mountain would still kill me!!!).
As for the diet pills, PLEASE don't go near them. PLEASE. The ONLY way to lose weight IF the weight is excess (what is your BMI??) is finding the right diet for you and the right exercise. Its trial and error. It may be that even if the IBS diet keeps you stable, that it doesn't make your metabolism as efficient as it could be. You could be a more protein orientated person for example. Where is this 'excess' weight from, when did it come on you?
Well, thats my input...always here to help...Good luck!
