<p>Great question, I am waiting to see what takes place for me as
well. I could be mistaken but it seems that perhaps when my body
settles in more some things will normalize, such as the
subcutaneous fat area. It does make for some hard sitting. I also
have loose skin but nothing huge - I expected it would since I was
losing a lot of weight in a short period of time. My body is still
going through many adjustments and it will be interesting to see
what has taken place in the next 3 to 5 years.</p>
<p>I would imagine Dr. Ron has encountered things of this nature
before and hopefully when he has some free time he will
comment.</p>
<p>Wishing you the best of health..<br>

and ultimately put the fat viscerally rather than subcutaneous.
Eating fat will put it more subcutaneously.</p>
<p>Thank you Ken for your amazing support it helps us so much!</p></div>Dr. Rosedaletag:drrosedale.tenderapp.com,2010-09-16:Comment/293192782013-11-26T06:38:37Z2013-11-26T06:38:39ZFat - subcutaneous fat<div><p>Thanks for the reply. That is more or less what I have been
doing. Whatever carbs I do eat is as non-grain vegetables and at a
sufficiently low quantity to keep cravings away. That said, there
is some residual conflict between various parts of my mind. The
years of anti-fat conditioning is still there subconsciously
telling me I should be stoking up on the rice and potatoes, so your
words will help to bolster my resolve.<br>

& MCT oil for the last month or so and can say with certainty
now that it does make sitting more comfortable
<strong>:-)</strong> Have gained a little weight but
that's okay.</p>

<p>John Martin - subcutaneous fat question</p>
<p>John asked a question in which I had been wondering about, glad
that he did. It encouraged me to continue my testing of upping my
good fat intake. Since I have done this I have gained some much
needed padding “back” to the buttocks area, which does
make it more comfortable in sitting. Although I have gain some
weight back it is okay – my waist line is pretty much the
same. At one point I had dropped down to 138 lbs.</p>
<p>I am still experimenting with the amount of good fat intake
– I assume it would be different for each individual so it
would be difficult to say what an amount would be the best. If you
would like to test for yourself you may start with 1 to 3 teaspoons
of olive or MCT oil per meal as I have – try not to rush,
give your body time to adjust.</p>
<p>I had never went through the hunger as I read of others had been
in their first 3 weeks or so. Well, it wasn't until over a year
after I began Dr. Ron's plan that I had mine, which was just before
John asked about subcutaneous fat – apparently this was what
my body was telling me that I needed to do and so far it has been
going well.</p>
<p>Dr. Ron's answer shed some light and serves as an incentive to
continue my journey in seeking a healthier life – new stuff
to still learn as my body continues to go through more
refurbishing.</p>
<p>For me this is exciting and I continue to look forward to new
discoveries on this journey.</p>
