I was just introduced to this idea and am considering trying it for weight loss purposes, and I'm curious if anyone here has tried it and if/how it's affected their HS?

I have been working on weight loss. I do not know much about you, but I realised that it tends to be easier to give up when my mind is tuned in to my pain. Therefore I pray, asking God to give me strength to carry on till I can manage.
I did not know that I had become Lactose intolerant during treatments for HS. So I have stopped taking anything even with added whatnot . No more biscuits, chocolates, readymade food, adairy milk, cheeses and stuff.
The result, I am able to do Jillian Michaels workouts with no worry of pain taking over. Also, I am sticking to homemade healthy meals, the 5 a day. Eating a lot of vegetables, snacking on fruits.
Also I now eat meat twice a week and eat a lot of pulses and organically sourced alternatives.
It has not been easy, but I thank God its working. My Dermatologist has me on glucophage twice a day, I also use Hibicleanse for my showers and twice a week I use Milton ( steriliser for baby bottles in a tub full of warm water, covering all affected areas for 15-20minutes.
I wish u all the best and may God bless us all!
