"Calorie counting is a trap! Your body isn’t a calculator – it’s controlled by hormones."

1️⃣ Why “eat less, move more” DOESN’T WORK
✋ Your body tricks you: If you eat too little, it slows down your metabolism (like turning off the heating).
🍞 Carbs are the problem: Bread/pasta/candy → high insulin → your body stores fat instead of burning it.
😩 You get hungrier: Your body sends out ghrelin (the hunger hormone) – all you think about is food!
💡 The point:
“It’s not YOU who’s weak – it’s your HORMONE BALANCE that’s messed up!”

2️⃣ How to fix it: 2 simple steps
A. Eat FAT & CUT CARBS (LCHF method)
🥑 Eat veggies + fats: Avocados, olive oil, nuts, fish.
🚫 Ditch sugar and bread: Max 50g carbs per day (like 1 banana + some veggies).
🥩 Protein is fine: Meat, eggs, cheese – but fat is KING!
"Fill up on fat – your hunger will disappear naturally!"

B. TRY INTERMITTENT FASTING
⏱ The 16:8 rule: Eat only during an 8-hour window (e.g., 12:00–8:00), then fast for 16 hours.
🔥 Bonus: When you’re not eating, your body burns fat like a “deep clean.”
"Let your stomach rest – and your body will take care of the rest!"

3️⃣ Three things to NEVER do:
🚫 Eat “light” products (e.g., Coke Zero) → they make you crave sweets!
🚫 Eat 6 small meals a day → keeps insulin high ALL THE TIME.
🚫 Believe exercise alone will save you – food is 80% of the solution!

✅ The results:
🩺 Diabetics: Stopped needing insulin within 2 months.
⚖️ Regular people: Lost 10–15 kg (22–33 lbs) in a year – without starving!
📏 Waistlines: Many saw a flat belly for the first time ever!

🌟 Elin’s best advice:
"Stop fighting hunger – fix your hormones instead!
When insulin is low, your body BURNS FAT on its own."

Staying on track doesn't mean being perfect. 💡
Small, consistent choices—like walking 20 minutes a day or choosing water over soda—can make a big difference in managing blood sugar.
You're not alone on this journey. 💙

Lipedema: Troubles Caused by Fat Metabolism Imbalance
Lipedema is a chronic disease that mainly affects the lower extremities. It is characterized by abnormal and uneven accumulation of adipose tissue. This condition often presents bilaterally symmetrically, usually starting from the distal part of the legs and gradually spreading upwards.
Lymphedema: Swelling Caused by Obstructed Lymphatic Circulation
Lymphedema occurs due to a dysfunction in the lymphatic system, which leads to poor lymphatic fluid drainage. Excessive lymphatic fluid accumulates in the interstitial spaces, thereby causing local or systemic swelling.

Op 24 april 2025 is de nieuwe Europese wetgeving voor de veiligheid en kwaliteit van bloed, weefsels en cellen voor humaan gebruik officieel aangenomen. Een van de nieuwe bepalingen in de nieuwe wet is een verplichting voor instellingen die humaan lichaamsmateriaal toepassen bij patiënten, om zich als zodanig te registreren en jaarlijks een beperkte set informatie aan te leveren over hun activiteiten. Het artikel uit het vorige bulletin is daarom ineens weer erg actueel ‘Weet wat je gebruikt en vertel wat je doet’.
