Yes, I'm 58. When I first came down with covid, I lost 27 lbs in a week. I was walking 3 miles a day prior to covid. Because Neuropathy came along with long covid, I can't walk a long distance now, I walk like I'm drunk. Plus always short of breath. I gained 30 lbs in 5 months because I'm too tired to do anything but lay in bed and watch TV. Because I can't really exercise, I fast. I Still get my vitamins, protein etc. Lots of water. Broth. Veggies and fruit. I've now lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. Good luck.

Has anyone tried food grade diatomaceous earth powder? I met two people in one week who told me to take this right away! Look up the reviews on this! I was told I might have SIBO and placed on a FODMAP diet until my test kit comes. If positive will do protocol for it. But going to ask my dr about it. She very integrated but I’m sure some drs might poo poo it! Anyway seems harmless and SO MANY people have deemed it a miracle. I’m still doing my research but I’m TIRED OF FEELING CRAPPY! The FODMAP diet has helped and I think I might be gluten intolerant now! And very limited sugar! But that may be because of the bacteria overgrowth. Once it’s gone I am hopeful to feel great again. Also as much as I’d like to lay around too- which is not my nature even when I had Covid- I push myself to exercise. Moderately. And back to yoga which has helped! Good luck everyone. And keep in touch!
