Had to chime in about "The Bomb Diet." Too funny!!! I lost 20 some pounds quickly after "the bomb." Then I just ran with it, joined Weight Watchers on-line and pushed it to 45 lbs. I'd like to lose another 15. But, since my R with H has been improving, the weight is trying to sneak back on!!! What a wonderful side effect, huh?!?!
Here's my theory on the bomb diet and stress induced weight change: continuous low level stress, like that you experience in an unhappy job or R often encourages you to turn to something that gives you immediate satisfaction...food. And makes you very tired, so you don't feel like exercising.
However, high level stress,crisis-type stress puts your body in immediate threat mode. Your life as you know it may be ending. You get no pleasure from anything, and food is the last thing on your mind.
