What I’ve been doing is frikin life changing. I drink scientifically proven shakes that lower toxins and remove toxic fat from the body. I lost 23 lbs without exercise in less than 2 months.

Smoking causes widespread inflammation and inflammation causes fluid retention as well. So proud of you for quitting. If you can do that while under stress, you can be successful with all of your choices. Congratulations!

@A MyLupusTeam Member, I'm happy to hear that you quite smoking. I've been a smoker for 30 years and it's been 24 years now I quite and never picked one up again. I know it's hard but it can be done. If you are having problems just know we are there for you.
