I’ m 5′ 6.5″ and weigh 280 pounds. I’ve had
my head in the sand for so long, but now
I’ m in constant pain due to heel spurs and
arthritis. Also diabetes run in my family. I
don’t plan to try to lose all my weight this
way, but if possible I’d like to lose a chunk
fairly quickly, to take stress off my feet and
joints, and lower my diabetes risk.

im 4′10 and 135 pounds. Im obviously overweight and want to lose it. I have depression and anxiety which makes it harder not to eat junk. I’m a big coffee drinker and have recently cut it out of my diet. I have arthritis so my physical activities are limited to biking and running. I’m not looking for a quick fix just something that will make me lose about 10 pounds a month.

I am considering adding diatomaceous earth to our diet as it is said to increase energy, rid arthritis, grow hair?, rid pain in joints, feet, etc. The list goes on and on, however, I don’t know anyone personally who takes this. If you take this and it has been a help to you, would you please share your findings? Thanks so much and God bless!

I have heard many people tell me about different diets for my arthritis. I want to know one that will actually help me. Do you know?

My girlfriend suffers from psoriatic arthritis, in the last 3 months the swelling on her knee and ankle has got really bad, she is in constant pain and can hardly walk, she is only 23 years old and has always exercised and eaten reasonably healthy.

The NHS are useless and perscribe drugs that make her really ill so she has had to come off them, so we are at a loss.

I’ve read on many forums that diet can really help manage the condition and some say they have been in similar pain and are now almost pain free.

Does anyone know a diet to follow?

I’ve read that you should avoid foods from the nightshade family, avoid red meats, avoid citric fruit, and dairy, I want to help her and plan our weekly meals and snacks but don’t know where to start, I would like links to diet plans or just tips please

I read somewhere that it causes arthritis but then i read somewhere that it can help ease it.

If it is bad, what is it in the diet soda that’s bad?

Is It the aspartame?

My dog’s arthritis has been getting worse so we took her to the vet. They recommended she loses a little weight. Right now she’s on Beneful dog food. Now when we took her to her normal vet they said that food was fine and to just mix it with Beneful Diet food. But at the animal hospital this morning (she seemed to be in a lot of pain and the vet wasn’t open) they said Beneful was bad and to switch her to Science Diet. However, I read some reviews online that said that dog food was not a good kind. I need to know, I want the best for my dog. P.S. I have an 8 year old mini dachshund.

I’m 15 years old, and for the past 5-6 months, I havent had my period because I lost 30 pounds between january and now. Yesterday, my mom went to the gynocologist and she told her about my situaton because she is concerned. The doctor said that I should eat more healthy fats. The only healthy fats i know are olive oil and avocados. It’s important that I get my period in the next 2 months, because I need estrogen in my body, because the docotor said that I could possibly get arthritis. However, I dont want to gain back weight or anything.
ideas? thanks

If so…why ? Did you take it for weight loss? Did you lose weight?
For arthritis? Did it help? Did your BP or Choleterol go down?
I just started it and recommended it to others…but would like more info.
I know too much can hurt your stomach and esophagus and you have to watch which meds you take with it.
Chris.I mix 2 tbs apple cider vinegar (has to have that messy looking stuff in the bottom of the bottle) and 2 tbs. of water. I take a drink of kool aid.. hold my nose and drink the mixture..then another drink of kool aid…then let go of my nose. You can barely taste the vinegar that way. You’re supposed to drink a lot of water too..to flush it down but so far I can’t seem to make myself do that.
You’re welcome , Loraine. lol How long have you been on it? Is once a day enough or should I take it more often?
