Losing Weight

Hello Reader,

In addition to the myriad other problems you have to bear, two of our in-house studies found that people with fibromyalgia and CFS have an average weight gain of thirty-two pounds. This occurs because of the metabolic problems present in these syndromes, causing fewer calories to be burned.

It is much easier to lose the weight and keep it off, however, when one understands and addresses the many things that contribute to this problem. Put simply, for people with CFS/FMS, simply altering your diet is not enough to lose weight. A large percentage of you have found that it is impossible to lose weight and keep it off no matter what you do.

There are several ways that CFS/FMS is contributing to your inability to lose weight. Both physical stresses (e.g., infections and nutritional deficiencies) and emotional/situational stresses can result in a metabolic chain reaction that results in weight gain. With effective treatment of their CFS/FMS, most people find that their weight gain stops and that usual weight-loss measures can finally work.

In this part 19 of my series "Fatigue & Fibromyalgia Are Optional," I'll summarize what can help people with CFS/FMS lose weight.
