Hidden poisons in everyday foods cause weight gain...
Researchers believe that hidden toxic reactions to everyday foods can contribute to weight problems in several different ways. First, they can cause water retention and water weight gain. In virtually all patients tested, partially digested food compounds pass through a compromised intestinal lining into the bloodstream and eventually travel to tissues, where they cause irritation and inflammation. The body tries to reduce this irritation by retaining water, which dilutes the concentration of the offending material. As long as you keep eating foods causing these toxic reactions, you will continue to hold on to water weight.
Internal inflammation may dramatically affect your weight control...
Some chemicals involved in toxic reactions to everyday foods may inhibit metabolism. Prostaglandin E2, which is also released, inhibits the body's ability to burn fat stores. These food toxicities may therefore, diminish your body's ability to burn fat, a process known as lipolysis.
Food allergies lead to food addictions and binging...
One study found that partially digested compounds in common food allergens act similarly to morphine-like opioid drugs (Lancet, Oct 27, 1979). Eating the wrong food can actually produce a temporary "high," but when the feeling wears off, you crave the same food in order to get another euphoric "fix." "Even if you've failed before, you can lose weight and feel remarkably better as other symptoms often disappear..."
Do you have food toxicities? Find out now...
Identifying and eliminating a few foods from your diet can conceivably offer many benefits: alleviate bloating and water retention, help overcome food cravings and addictions, and boost metabolism and fat-burning lipolysis. Are foods toxic to your particular system making you fat? A toxic reaction to an everyday food could be key to your weight problem if...
- You retain lots of water.
- You exercise, diet and still can't lose weight.
- You lose weight and can't lose past a certain point.
- You have food cravings and engage in binge eating
Types of Food allergy tests…There are many different types of food allergy tests.
- RAST test – test different allergens by injecting them on your skin, usually done on the back. This test identifies IgE Type I hypersensitivity reaction. One example, of this type of reaction is when a person highly allergic to peanuts, after eating them will get swelling of their lips and tongue, sensation of throat closing, a tingling sensation in the mouth, difficulty breathing, hives, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea. Symptoms typically appear within minutes to two hours after the person has eaten the food to which he or she is allergic.
- IgG food sensitivity test – refers to delayed hypersensitivity reactions. This is your body’s immune system reacting to certain foods. The reaction may take up to 48 hours to occur. IgG reactions may cause a variety of symptoms such as sleep disturbances, sinus and ear infections, bloating, weight gain, headaches, mood swings, eczema, etc. Blood tests rather than scratch tests are the only way to screen for IgG allergies.
