Re: ALCAT Blood Test to control symptoms

[Saffron]

BAM, given that ALCAT testing has not stood up to any controlled studies, I’m going to venture to say that the weight loss and increase in well-being you experienced may have been for reasons that were related in a different way to the diet you followed.

You may have previously consumed a great deal of starches, for example, but then were told that you were intolerant to wheat. Omitting all wheat products from your diet, and therefore most starches, would in many people result in the weight loss you describe.

Or, before your diet, you may have habitually eaten large quantities of one or two foods known to suppress thyroid function in people who are genetically predisposed. (Anyone in your family have thyroid issues?). If so, withdrawing these foods may have altered your thyroid function, which could certainly result in weight loss and greater vitality.

I’m just sayin’.
