concerning water retension "horsetail-tea" in moderation is good against water retensions. the high level of silicium is also good for ones skin and blood wessels
 
I have actually lost weight again even with too high levels of carbs and too many calories... but I really do not trust my weightloss untill it keeps off now for many weeks...there is a difference though from my own weight and the one in my fitness center of 2.5kg... My own is too optimistic I think.. saying now this morning : 75kg ... but at fitness I weigh 77-78kg..... so not really celebrating anything right now... so I´ll not change my weight today...

8lb gain in under 3 weeks, 2lb more to gain and I hit my target of 11.5 stone.

All done without negative influencing fbg and without spikes.

800-1000 calorie low carb smoothie once daily plus a large high calorie evening meal.

congratulations out of curiosity : are you gaining muscle or is it also fat ?

Hmmm I know horsetail tea is a fungicide for plants. The high silica content is reputed to strengthen plants. That is one of the concepts attributed to Rudolph Steiner. A lot of stuff is ascribed to Steiner so as May E Bruce puts it

To clean Fruit Trees: Take two handfuls of dried horsetail (Equisetum Arvense) and simmer in a gallon of water for twenty minutes. Use one pint in one gallon water and spray, and in bad cases scrub your fruit trees. It is a wonderful cleanser. Strain and bottle any liquid left over.

Cannot imagine me ever drinking or washing in the stuff though

I drank it sometimes when I was Young just tried out the different kinds of herb tea , and it is not that bad actually But I would mix it with peppermint tea today , I drank it for my skin and lately it has crossed my mind many times that it could be helpful for many body problems to drink it regularly

Good morning . I weighed again this morning and 138 lbs which makes it 2 lb lost! I know I will probably stick now now for a few weeks but I'm delighted today:)

Water tummy is taking it up and down by 6-7lb. Cardiologist is investigating. If no heart reason it may be my liver. Its being looked into.
2-3 weeks ago i lost 7.5lb but it was that water tummy. I regained 6lb but now lost 2.5lb approx from last week.
I'm hoping body weight loss in there, mostly.
I'm a different weight depending on water tummy swelling. Im weighing at same time of day to keep consistancy.

@ickihun I'm only 4'10" . I had an angiogram. I was amazed at how clever it was. I couldn't feel anything. I was so impressed with how every member of the team in the theatre had their own particular role.

I'm more worried about what he might find although echo scan said heart was good. I just need the lack of power andchest heaviness and pains to go and not come back. I want to do exercise again. I couldnt even sing along side my fav adele song today. I cannot do anything after a few minutes of starting it without breathlessness and heavy chest. Nothing. :(

90.7 kg, which is 0.5 kg down for the week. Finding it harder to lose weight now - have to push the exercise more.
