Question:
I am not losing. I have lost like three pounds, but I am right back at
my starting weight by the time I go to bed.
My lymph nodes are swollen under both arms!
As said in a previous post, I have lost bloat, but it sure is not
showing up on the scale.
I will stick with it, for detox purposes, but I am very frustrated.
Answer:
I think you are having a little crisis, which can happen just about
any day, not just in the beginning. I am having lymph node issues
too. For about a year before my detox, the nodes under my chin were
the size of golf balls and I was unable to fully recover from colds or
the flu. During the first week of the detox, the swelling went down
and I felt amazing. But I am doing a couple of things: I am getting
lymphatic massages once a week and I purchased a chi vitalizer machine
that I use daily. If you are having lymph issues I strongly recommend
you do one or the other (or both if you can afford it).
My first massage was on day two and all I had was a blocked lymph node
in my right leg. My second massage was on day 10 and I had tons of
blockage in both legs. Personally, I think it my body finally
processing all of the backed up lymph fluid that has been sitting in
my body because my nodes were too overloading to process all the
toxins in my body. I think that might be what is happening to you
too. That would also cause you to retain water, which would explain
the dramatic weight fluctuations before and after a bath. If you do
not either get massages or a chi machine, your body will eventually
process the lymph fluids, but it will take longer. If you want faster
results, treat yourself and incorporate one of those things into your
detox.
The chi machines are specifically designed to relieve lymph issues.
The movement of the machines gets it all flowing. I do mine morning
and night because I love it so much--it is a very relaxing way to
detox and exercise at the same time. Now that I know my lymph nodes
have been under so much stress, I intend to do this daily even after
my detox.
I lost 10 pounds the first five days and then nothing for 5 or 6 days
and I have been very strict on my diet--eating only the drinks that
Dr. Roni is peddling, so I know it was not my diet. I think every
body is different and you just have to love yourself and be patient
and trust that it will work. I suspect that once your lymph nodes
finally drain, you will lose a lot of the water weight that you appear
to be carrying.
