I lost 4kg after taking simple test - I never realised what was wrong with me

I lost 4kg after taking simple test - I never realised what was wrong with me Hannah Swan was working out three to four times a week but struggled with bloating, low energy and weight fluctuations A British woman has revealed how a simple test helped her lose 4kg. Hannah Swan says she was hitting the gym three or four times a week and maintaining a healthy diet, yet nothing appeared to make any difference. She battled bloating, low energy and fluctuating weight, to the extent that she could no longer fit into her favourite clothes. It was only when she took a simple test that she discovered she was intolerant to several foods, which was affecting her energy levels and her ability to shed the excess weight around her middle. The 45 year old chose to eliminate the foods she was intolerant to — and noticed a difference almost immediately. "Within just three to four weeks of following an elimination diet of foods I was intolerant to, I lost five kilograms, primarily from water weight and some fat," Hannah, from Dorset, said. "I also experienced a significant reduction in bloating and noticed a marked improvement in my energy levels." The author and writer says her body had never responded well to conventional dieting, and despite believing she was making healthy choices, she frequently felt uncomfortable after meals. She had even begun to suspect that particular foods might be behind her symptoms. Hannah experimented with numerous dieting approaches, from cutting calories to intermittent fasting, and even replaced breakfast with smoothies, yet none of it made any difference. She found that everything seemed to leave her feeling bloated and she was unable to shed any weight, meaning she could no longer fit into some of her favourite outfits and frequently resorted to hiding beneath baggy tops. In search of some clarity and a tailored approach to her diet, Hannah decided to give a YorkTest Food Intolerance Testing Kit a go. Hannah's aims were to pinpoint which foods were causing adverse reactions, tackle bloating and digestive discomfort, and achieve healthy, sustainable weight loss. Her results revealed intolerances to wheat, sugar, and certain processed foods – prompting her to make several significant dietary changes. She cut out wheat-based products, ditched refined sugars, steered clear of highly processed foods, and concentrated on wholesome, nutritious alternatives to combat inflammation, improve digestion, and boost her overall metabolic health. Within just three to four weeks of following the tailored plan, Hannah shed five kilograms, largely from water weight and some fat loss. She also noticed a considerable reduction in bloating and a marked improvement in her energy levels. Beyond the physical transformation, Hannah felt far more empowered over her food choices and better equipped to manage her symptoms. By pinpointing and eliminating foods that were causing intolerance, Hannah managed to achieve swift, significant improvements in both her body composition and overall wellbeing.
