Marketman you should try echinacea, not for a long period of time though, and Chinese cordyceps as a dietary supplement. They are both said to promote healthy lungs.

Kate, I lost 32 pounds total in about 6 weeks. I returned to my usual diet, and ate heavily the last 5 months, and re-gained 15 pounds. I will do the diet again in January for about 4-6 weeks to go back down to where I want. Essentially, I was very happy with the diet, lost quickly and took say 9 months to regain half of the weight while enjoying what I wanted to eat. I suspect a “yearly purge” will be necessary for me as I am, as you say, around food so much. But overall, I still liked the diet, and associate the weight gain to simply eating more than I really should have. Geraldine, yes, it is a form of asthma that comes on at this time of year. The symptoms you describe are similar. I think a combination of the pollution, change in weather, etc. brings this on, almost annually now. Complicated by hay fever allergies as well. It is horrible because you don’t feel totally sick, but it is debilitating, kind of a malaise of sorts…

Hi MM, I have been a silent fan for several years already and your blog entires have helped me so much. Just curious though and I hope you won’t mind, did you ever maintain your weight loss from the diet you were on last March? I think that if it was me, I would have such a difficult time as you are literally surrounded by every imaginable food in all sizes, shapes and weight!

I am curious as I am almost 60% sure to pay the same program you took. Hope you can answer my email! More power and the best of health to you..

Maybe you have asthma? I have attacks starting november till january but this year has been my worst so far. It usually starts as a cold and since virus siya usually it goes away with rest plenty of fluids and lots of calamansi juice but it triggers dry coughing and wheezing for a month or two. But this year it became acute bronchitis for me despite antibiotics. Right now I’m on mega-antibiotics and 2 inhalers and sucking lemons hehehe. Hope we both get better soon!
