Return of ALCAT Food Intolerance Test to Singapore


After a 3-month absence from Singapore, the ALCAT Food Intolerance Test is finally available once again. The test lab is still in foreign lands (Australia currently), which does complicate matters somewhat, but the blood can still get processed within the 30-hour window as long as collections are made fresh before 11am on Mondays to Fridays.

We have certainly missed having this as a weight loss option. I see so many people who claim to eat no more than the next person, exercise religiously, yet are classed overweight or obese. Some do look for a quick fix, but many are truly desperate to find out why they absolutely cannot lose the weight.

Having done a good number of tests in the past year, I can certainly testify that those who manage to stay away from their "banned" food types seem to have no problems losing weight.

And who knows? You may not be intolerant to chocolate (I'm not!), so indulge in this decadent treat without fearing weight gain. Your chances of being intolerant to lettuce and black pepper are much higher. And there's really no way of knowing until you get tested.
