Weight fluctuation for many people is minor. Weight comes and goes occasionally without much fanfare. In fact, it's often the sign that your body is working reliably and your immune system is responding, as it should.

Chronic weight problems may tell another story.

It could be pointing to an immune system that is relentlessly pounded by "unknown" and "unseen" troublemakers...

....making life miserable for the sufferer.

As problems first appear, an over-the-counter remedy seems to "cure" the persistent binging, craving or bloating.

Ahh! Relief!!

After a week...a month...even a year...It's back.

Cravings, binging and bloating worse than before...and that pill or meal replacement drink doesn't seem to work like it did before.

Trips to a doctor or a weight loss clinic begin...and (thankfully) powerful pharmaceuticals can provide complete and permanent relief for some...

..but many don't get the relief.

The symptoms may clear up for a while, but as soon as the medication stops the problems return...more cravings and more weight than ever.

Many sufferers decide to "give-up" and "just live with it"...

Recent advances in medical technology are shedding new light on this difficult problem...but many sufferers commonly make a series of mistakes as they pursue relief...and those mistakes mean that some continue suffer needlessly.

It is my sincere hope that an insight, recommendation or thought within this paper may assist you (or someone you love) in getting permanent relief.

Most chronic overweight sufferers naturally follow a typical pattern in an attempt to clear up their uncomfortable, and sometimes embarrassing, problem.

When the symptom first appears…whether it’s a fluid retention, bloating or just some craving to overeat…the typical overweight sufferer goes to the local drugstore, and looks for over the counter relief. They try this protein powder. Or that diet pill. A little of cutting back on food intake . Or, they take some extra vitamins.

Perhaps one of the remedies they try works a little…or at least for a little while. But then the symptoms return with a fury.

When over the counter medications fail, and as the symptoms persist, many run to visit their doctors. Some see a general practitioner. Some head straight to a weight loss clinic.

Sometimes, sufferers learn that there’s a label for their problem:

Slow metabolizer, Food Addict, Hypothyroid.

Sometimes not. Sometimes, the doctors shrug…say they’re not sure what it is… But since over the counter medications failed, they issue prescriptions…maybe an oral diet suppressant, a diuretic, or perhaps even surgery.

Sometimes they work.

Sometimes they don’t.

Sometimes, prescriptions work for a little while. But just like with over the counter medications, the symptoms can come back…with a fury.

Or, sufferers decide that the prescription side effects are worse than the weight problem it’s supposed to be treating, and they simply give up.

There seems to be no clear cause. And no clear solution.

So sufferers learn to live with it. They wear clothes that cover up more of their body. Or they arrange their hair differently, taking attention away from the rest of their body.

Or, they bear the embarrassment of being in public and social situations with chronic and persistent overweight.

Does this sound like you? Or like someone you love? You may not have followed that particular pattern, but if you’ve been suffering with chronic excess weight, you’ve been through the routine. You think you’ve tried everything.

But maybe you haven’t.

Most people typically don’t think of the possibility of food allergies and food toxicity. You probably haven’t either. But chances are good…that if you’ve tried everything else, you may be allergic to food.

Mistake #2 – Relying Too Heavily On The Symptom Relief Approach

Your body usually lets you know when something is wrong. It presents you with symptoms.

In your case, the fact that something’s wrong may show up as excess fluid retention. Uncontrollable cravings. Eating certain foods and getting a “high”. Or, something else.

And modern science has given us scores of fantastic drug treatments and therapeutic approaches to combat your weight problem.

Unfortunately, more “cures” don’t necessarily equate to relief for everyone.

As powerful as these new medications are, the just don't "solve the problem" for everyone.

While everyone wants cures, we live in a treat-the-symptom-culture, where the root causes of many irritations and chronic weight problems are ignored. Not on purpose. Not due to lack of knowledge. But because the cause and effect relationship is so difficult to determine. For example it can take up to 72 hours for your body to react to a food you eat.

And the symptoms can be subtle...anything from a skin rash to dry mouth and literally hundreds of other little "clues" that your immune system didn't really appreciate one of the spices in that dinner you had 2 days ago at the Greek wedding.

We are starting to see through the door of mysteries surrounding many of these immune system reactions.

For example, the Price-Pottenger Foundation, a well-respected non-profit organization, promotes the research findings of two dentists who were frustrated by recurring dental decay. Doctors Price and Pottenger studied primitive, isolated cultures around the world, and found that when native people ate their own locally grown foods, they remained disease free.

But when these same natives left their homelands…and moved to nearby cities…where they began to eat everyday, common processed foods…they developed a host of chronic problems…overweight included.

So the problem can’t be cured by over the counter medications. Or by prescription medicines. Or by diet clinics. Yes, they can ease the symptoms—even if just for a time.

But if you treat the symptom…and not the root cause…other, more debilitating symptoms often crop up. Either that, or, in some cases, you suffer with prescription side-effects that are worse that your weight condition.

In any case, you may not get the relief you’re looking for.

If you’ve run the gauntlet…and have tried all you can to figure out what’s wrong…what’s causing your cravings, binging and excess weight…and if you’ve turned to products…been encouraged at first…and then frustrated because your symptoms returned…

You may want to consider at the impact food may have on your immune system.

Fortunately there is a "needle-free" way to do this.

Statistical analysis of symptoms have been correlated to point to possible allergic reactions...you can check your symptoms and see if they are related to hidden food allergies.

You can have this Symptom spreadsheet mailed to you free of charge and after a few minutes with it you'll have an idea if your symptoms might be food allergies or not. It’s quite simple.

But a lab-measured reaction of your body’s immune system to food clusters lets you pinpoint in a direct way both the symptoms—and the root causes.

Mistake #3 – Not Becoming Aggressive With The Pursuit of Relief

“Wait a minute!” you’re saying. “I HAVE been aggressive! I’ve done everything under the sun to get rid of my weight problem!”

We’re sure you have. You’ve tried over the counter medications. Prescriptions. Maybe even alternative therapies that you read about on the Internet.

So it’s quite understandable, that after having been through every possible option you could possibly think of, to finally give up.

To say, “Oh, I’m just getting old.”

Or, “I’ll just have to live with it.”

Unfortunately, as we age, we are exposed to more and more toxins in the environment. More processed foods. More fillers. More binders. More spices.

Coming from every country…all over the world.

It wasn’t like that in the old days. For as long as man existed, up to a hundred or so years ago, people ate simple foods from their own backyard. Or from their neighbor’s backyard. They feasted on agriculturally grown and produced vegetables and staples—without pesticides—without packaging.

They raised livestock—without giving hormone injections and without feeding the animals artificially “beefed up” foods.

And excessive weight was minimal.

Not so today.

Not only are you constantly subjected to scores of unknown additives, fillers, binders and spices.

You’re subject to hormonal injections. Pesticides. Genetically altered and mutated foods.

While many of these things are surprisingly well tolerated by large parts of the population a number of people "react". But it’s hard to know what’s poison and toxic to your unique physiological system with so much variety in our diet.

If all you ate were naturally grown vegetables and potatoes, and chemically free livestock, you might be able to pinpoint which food is causing the weight problem—yourself. But it’s impossible in today’s world.

And as you’re exposed to more and more toxins, more processed foods and fillers, your symptoms tend to get worse over time as the levels of toxins build up in your body.

Your immune system becomes sensitized, so where it may have taken a lot of some food in the past to cause a reaction, it now takes just a little of that same food to cause the same reaction.

And when weight gaining symptoms appear—cravings, binging—they often are accompanied by a sense of well being, a temporary “high” . And we’re sure you know, that the “high” causes its own set of problems and aggravates an already intolerable situation.

If your weight problem has persisted to this point, it’s not likely to get better on its own.

You'll be able to answer a few questions in the privacy of your home or office and learn if the set of symptoms you endure could be pointing to food allergies...

A few closing thoughts...

Unfortunately, there are a lot more than 3 mistakes weight loss sufferers can make!

Instead of putting your energy, effort and money into more and more doctors visits…and more and more prescriptions…

Or instead of giving up…and learning to “live with it,” it may be worth your time to take a more careful look at how one…or two…or ten of the foods you eat every day may be the root cause of your weight problems.

Take advantage of the spreadsheet tool offer.

It’s easy, and will show if you food allergies might be your problem.

There may be an alternative...even if you think you tried it all.

Isn't the possibility that you (or someone you love) could find relief worth the few minutes you'll invest filling out this simple spreadsheet in the privacy of your own home or office?
