Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I still have not been able to do the egg drink except one time for fear of consuming raw eggs. I know they are supposed to be safe and I read the article, but still scared. Anyway, if you pour the boiling water over the egg and cook it a little more will it still be drinkable? And do you recommend organic eggs that haven't been pasturized, like from a local farmer? Or is store bought organic pasturized good enough?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I've eaten raw eggs for over 20 years and never got sick on them. -- -----Original Message----- I still have not been able to do the egg drink except one time for fear of consuming raw eggs.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 It is me again.....So I tried to drink it. OMG! It is delicious!!!! I am proud of my self that I've tried to do that!! But it was worth it!!! But......There was a small problem.....My heart started beating faster, even though I drunk it really slowly (It took me 1 hour to finish it, cause I do that when I enjoy something). Last year I was intolerant in egg yolks. About a month ago I started re introducing yolks, and things seemed to be ok as long as I wouldn't eat too many (I was experimenting with eating 1 egg yolk each day - it seemed to be ok). Should I stop the egg drink? I know (from what I read) that we are not supposed to eat anything that we are intolerant to. Thank you.

What is your name please? You definitely won't even know the eggs are raw in Bee's Egg Drink! However, if you leave the boiling water in the mixture long enough before blending it, the eggs will cook. Eating raw egg yolk, that is runny and not cooked, means it will provide more benefits. Also, you can poach eggs and use them in the drink. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is normal for the heart to beat more due to the coconut oil, which increases thyroid function. Also one of the healing reactions is a racing heart, which isn't dangerous at all, and it will occur less and less as you continue. > > Last year I was intolerant in egg yolks.

I know (from what I read) that we are not supposed to eat anything that we are intolerant to. +++I haven't said you shouldn't eat anything you are intolerant of. To the contrary, you should eat good unadulterated foods, which may cause healing reactions (a good thing), but start with small amounts and gradually increase them so your healing reactions are tolerable, and not overwhelming. See this article about Healing Foods: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal14.php +++You could start with 1 egg yolk and less of the other ingredients in the Egg Drink, and gradually increase the eggs and ingredients accordingly. The drink is totally adjustable. The best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I am eating collards, greenbeans, broccoli, cucumbers, jicama and tomatoes as my vegetables (all fresh or frozen with no additives). I cook only with bacon drippings, coconut oil, and butter. I try to top my veggies and meats with butter. I take cod liver oil. Umm...I can't think of anything that will be amiss. I do use chicken breast fillets because I don't like the texture of thighs. But I am careful to add fats to it. I use fatty cuts of beef. I don't know any other way to get more fat besides just eating it by the spoonful. > > > > Yes, I follow the recipe. I even add and extra egg yolk.

I say that because after you eat carbohydrates, insulin is released by the pancreas, which then lowers blood sugar. Which in turn causes hunger. When your carbs are increased, your hunger is increased. > > I mention this because previously one lady in this group was accidentally consuming *forbidden* carbs without realizing it. She was eating some vegetables from the grocery store that had been prepared with whey (and dairy is not permitted on this program). As well, she was making her bone broth the traditional way, using celery, onions, and carrots (carrots are not permitted on this program). Eating foods not on Bee's list could be the problem. > > Hopefully you are able to eat using the protein-fat-carb ratios that Bee recommends (unless you are very new to the program and still working up to getting enough fat into your diet). > > For every gram of protein you eat, you should be eating 2.5 to 3.5 times as much fat. And eating only 80% as many carbs. Carbs should be the least of what you eat. Ratios are all explained on Bee's website here: > > http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods8.php > > Are you eating enough fat yet? That would be 6 tbsp of coconut oil per day as well as the cod liver oil, and the rest of the recommended ratio of good saturated fat. I've read time and time again that when people eat the recommended amount of fat, they finally feel satiety and rarely experience hunger. > > Lis > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 > > Umm...I can't think of anything that will be amiss. But are you getting the correct ratio of good saturated fats? Are you eating/drinking roughly 3-4 times as many grams of fat as you are eating carbs? Even if you're eating *allowed* carbs, you will feel the hunger if you're not eating the recommended amount of fat. Your body needs to switch over to using good saturated fats for energy, instead of carbs. Are you up to 6 tbsp per day of coconut oil? Are you using the www.fitday.com website to calculate your ratios daily so you know for sure if you're getting enough fat daily? > I don't know any other way to get more fat besides just eating it by > the spoonful. There have been a lot of posts over the years about how to get more fat into the diet.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Iuse nutritiondata.com to track my foods. I am getting at least 160g of fat. My carb intake is supposed to be 45 but I eat less than that. > > > > Umm...I can't think of anything that will be amiss. > > But are you getting the correct ratio of good saturated fats?
