Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi le, Instead of eating nuts and avocados for carbs, why not eat broccoli, peppers, cauliflower, etc. which are low in fat? > <snip> I am having trouble getting my carbs up, and avocado and nuts seem to be a good fit, but then I exceed my fat! I don't have to worry just yet, but when I get up to everything, I don't know what to do about getting more carbs so I don't get too much fat? Help! > > le > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I was up to the 6 T of Coconut Oil per day plus 3 eggs and 2 T of Ghee for the egg drink, I am at 122 g of fat. According to Fitday. Is this right?

There is a low and high range of fats, so isn't 150 grams of fat the low range? Doublecheck what your high range is. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help! > > > >Hi le, Carbs are of minimal importance for your health. I would not worry if you can't get them any higher. Avocados and nuts are not your best sources of fat. I would not be concerned about exceeding your saturated fat intake. The more saturated fats the better:). Fitday is an approximation. I don't think it must be exact just try not to exceed their carb recommendation. kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are some higher carb veggies besides broccoli? I woke up today with hypo-glycemic symptoms. I read something about this somewhere on your site or a link about ketosis. And my fingernails are now slightly pale. Bee > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks I eat a bunch of peppers, but they didn't add up to much. I have eaten cauliflower, but it's half of what broccoli is. Any veggies we can eat that are higher like broccoli? le > > Hi le, > > Instead of eating nuts and avocados for carbs, why not eat broccoli, peppers, cauliflower, etc. which are low in fat? > > > > > > > <snip> > I am having trouble getting my carbs up, and avocado and nuts seem to be a good fit, but then I exceed my fat!

You shouldn't be concerned about your level of carbs since all carbs feed candida, but it is impractical to eliminate them all. However there are many vegetables higher in carbs than broccoli, i.e. turnip, summer squash, spaghetti squash - see this food list: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foodslist.php Die-off symptoms and hypoglycemic symptoms can be exactly the same. The amount of protein and fat you are consuming means you couldn't possibly be hypoglycemic since 58% of protein and 10% of fat change into glucose inside your body. Yes people do go through ketosis on my program because of the high good fats, and ketosis is very healthy. Your heart and brain prefer to run on ketones bodies (a source of energy produced by high good fats), instead of using glucose as their energy source. See this article about ketosis: http://www.biblelife.org/ketosis.htm Tour fingernails are pale due to poor circulation, which is caused by toxins, mostly from candida. That is because toxins cause cell membranes to become stiff/rigid, which means red blood cells aren't as able to fold over and fit themselves into the small capillaries in your fingers, toes, etc. - see this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cabout1.php Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thank You Bee. I woke up yesterday just starving to death, and couldn't shovel in food fast enough; it was the good for me food, but it took forever to feel satisfied. My heart was acting like it was on caffeine all day (kind of like I had too much thyroid medicine, but I haven't had any of that since Saturday.) Yep...that was the ketosis link. Thanks. I am going to save that. As for my nails, I was worried about it being from my kidneys because they are pink at the base (cuticle) white in the middle, and then pink at the top (tip of my finger.) I couldn't find anything like that on the internet. So perhaps they are normal. I don't know. le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think your nailes are anything to be concerned about. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
