Wahaika,
I'll try to answer the questions the best I can. it has probably been close to 3 months since I last took a complete break from my BE herbs.
I have taken two complete breaks since last Oct for around a week and one half each. A few weeks ago I did not take a complete break but was down to 2 dropfulls of the enhancement blend twice daily for about two weeks or so.
I was not getting many green leafy vegestables until the last few weeks when my husband had to start a healthy diet for his healths sake. I thought it would be good for me to eat more healthy as well. I am trying to eat a healthy, non ice burg lettuce salad, every day or close to it now.
I do get plenty of meet, dairy and cheese products I believe.
I have been eating to many highly refined carbs such as pasta and sugar cereals. Over the past few weeks my husband is getting me more on a whole food diet but not completely like he is doing.
I have not exercised much at all except for some sit ups hoping to keep the midsection down. I have been afraid to exercise too much for fear that I would loose weight everywhere including my breasts. I use to have skinny legs and toothpick arms. I like the size of my legs and arms now and do not wish to loose weight there although it does look like they could use some firming up now that they have some fat on them.
Are you experiencing any of the following in addition to the weight gain:
fatigue or weakness: Yes, seem to tire easily especially Post 8pm
menstrual problems: Yes, seems to do good one month. Be early next
lower body temperature: not sure
cold extremities: get cold easily overall not just extremities
low body temp: don't know
inability to focus: Not really
foggy thinking: Haven't noticed
forgetfulness: sometimes yes.
constipation: No
depression: Always struggled with this at times
muscle aches: Right leg cramps for many years every now and then
brittle nails: Not lately
dry skin: Yes, especially upper back
hair loss: Seem to have much loss when shampooing or combing hair
but not just recently
I hope this helps.
