Although initial weight loss on the diet is not unusual, the body will generally stabilize over time to its ideal weight once the intestinal flora is rebalanced. To avoid weight loss and/or gain weight while on the diet, you will want to make sure that you eat an adequate number of meals per day, and focus on high calorie foods as much as possible while staying within the limits of the diet. You may want to consume green smoothies or other liquid forms of nutrition to ensure that you are getting adequate calories and nutrition when eating a meal may not be feasible. A greens supplement, such as our Vitality SuperGreen™ may aid in weight gain. Excessive thinness as well as obesity are often a result of the body's inability to properly assimilate nutrients. Digestive enzymes can be taken with meals to ensure that nutrients are properly assimilated. Consuming B.E.D.-approved unrefined oils and coconut oil is important for keeping weight on/gaining weight as well. Coconut oil in particular is important, as it helps regulate the thyroid, a gland often out of balance in people with hormone and weight problems.
