They say that slow weight loss is far more likely to stay off. I have just lost 2 pounds myself in a week. I know it is a true weight loss because I have not been at that point on the scales for many moons. The scales were just showing the same weight over and over, with maybe a pound lost in a month.
My case is probably different because of adrenal, with related hypoglycemia, issues. That is why I knew only the Father would be able to guide me. I will share what happened along those lines. Quite a few times I had prayed for guidance on how to lose weight and still have energy, as the low blood sugar was really leaving me feeling drained a lot.
I never got any answer for a long time. It has been my personal experience that when my prayer wasn't answered I wasn't humble, or from the heart enough, or faith filled enough.. The Bible says that
if we lack wisdom (some say the correct translation would be
if we lack skill) and we ask Him for it He will give it generously, without finding fault, if we don't waver. (I always love that "without finding fault"part as I have so many faults!)
The last time when I asked, I believe I truly left it in His hands. Well, a day or two later the Word of Knowledge "meat" came to me about weight loss. Now, I had seen some docs on YT saying that protein was the best antidote to low blood sugar. But it didn't seem to work for me. Since I got that word I tried again. What I learned is that the protein does work, just not as fast as the carbs that are more likely to cause weight gain. So, I have been replacing some of the carbs with meat, judiciously spaced out, and since then lost those 2 pounds. Just sharin'.
I hope and pray you all have a lovely week.
