I am getting fatter every day. What can I do?

1. Take a look at side effects of medications you are taking; many can cause weight gain. Be sure to discuss this with the MD who prescribed them; do not stop any medications on your own as many need to be tapered gradually. 2. Consider removing all processed food from your diet. Eat only vegetables, pasture raised meat, healthy fats (such as coconut oil, olive oil, avocado), and some fruit. It is possible that you have developed food intolerances to some processed foods, especially wheat, corn, or dairy. 3. Remove toxins from your environment, such as plastic water bottles & food containers, harsh chemicals for cleaning, cosmetics and lotions. All can contain chemicals which may disrupt your hormones which can cause weight gain.
