Did the lumbar discs get crushed due to the excess weight?

I don't know anything about lumbar discs or spinal fusions. I do know some things about muscle. Many people who switched to a carnivore diet have reported that various pains went away and they naturally get stronger, even without working out.

Don't know if that would apply to your situation, but worth checking out.

BTW: What do you say to people who think fasting will be too difficult? How did you deal with the hunger, and how long did it take to drop the 100 lbs?
