To those down voting or equating Ayurveda with Quackery - The amount of downvotes shows me that there is a lack of awareness of what Ayurveda and TCM truly are. These use plants and herbs to heal. They are not some sort of quackery. There are Ayurveda universities in India. Ayurveda tourism is rather popular with folks from the West. Do read up about it. It would also be relatively inexpensive for you - a holiday in India coupled with what is essentially a health spa. To code_duck: Does having vegetables help - is that non-gluten? I have no grains or cereals, and just have lots of vegetables (leafy and non-leafy) and food with fat in it (e.g. avocados). This has helped me lose about 25 kilos of body fat, and I'm on my journey to cut down another 7.5 kilos of body fat.
