What am I doing wrong?

[Guest guest]

>

> I am on the diet for 3 weeks and I am not feeling so good, I feel bloated and

nauseated most of the time because of all the fat I eat. On the first week I

only ate eggs, fish, chicken and some veggies. Then, I introduced pork and

bacon and reduced my veggie servings to the point that there are days when I eat

only garlic and spring onions and days when I don't eat veggies at all. Is it

good not to eat veggies? Cause I read carbs are not necessary for our health,

that's why I wanna limit them.

+++Hi Ina. The fat is not causing you to feel bloated or nauseated. Those

symptoms are common to get because your body is detoxifying. Veggies that are

on the food list are okay. It is okay to have less carbs too.

>

> So I started eating bacon, and I mean a lot, like maybe 200g a day. Is this

too much? Although I haven't found unsmoked, I prepare it the way it's

recommended in an older post, soak it in salt water for at least 24 hours.

+++You say the bacon is 200 grams, but what is that in ounces? You know that

you do not translate your ratios to the amount of foods to eat, since you need

to enter them in www.fitday.com to determine the quantity or amounts?

>

> Since introducing all this fat, I feel very bloated all the time, compared to

the time when I was eating fish and chicken. And of course, acne came more

powerful than ever... I hadn't have not one single day without at least a pimple

to show up, not even when I gave up birth control pills my face didn't look this

bad (it is a known fact that when giving up on those, acne worsens). I never

wanted to be one of those people who say too much fat causes acne, but here I am

asking the same question. I know my body releases toxins through acne, but isn't

it possible that it flushes out also extra fat through my pores if he doesn't

need so much of it? And the question remains for cellulite also, cause I don't

exercise now, so the fat just remains unused in my body.

+++Acne will worsen before it gets better since your body is more able to

detoxify itself because of the good fats. So that is a good thing!

+++No, good fats do not flush out extra fat through your pores! Any good fats

your body cannot use as nutrients are automatically gotten rid of. Good fats

cleanse the entire body, rebuild all of the cells, help pull nutrients from

foods, etc.

>

> What should I do? To continue eating fatty meals, even butter? Cause I don't

like the taste of coconut oil, I only eat 3 teaspoons a day, that's why I'm

thinking to substitute it with butter till I can tolerate more. Or to eat only

fish and chicken? Cause I didn't have so severe acne reactions then.

+++You cannot avoid getting acne reactions since that is the way your body

decides it needs to get rid of toxins. You want to encourage that process, not

stop it or suppress it.

>

> How often and in what amounts is it safe/healthy to eat bacon, butter and

liver?

+++It is safe to consume your ratios of protein to fat to carbs.

>

> I never counted calories, grams, cause I have always been skinny, so I don't

do it now either. I just eat like I said, mostly bacon, fatty meat, eggs and

almost no veggies. What do you say, Bee, am I doing wrong?

+++This program doesn't count calories, but you need to calculate your protein

to fat to carb ratios so you can figure out how much of each food you need to

consume to meet your ratios - here's the instructions:

On this diet, I've had my good days and bad days, mostly I feel depressed cause

of acne and because I'm underweight. But when I see that Bee and moderators are

so supportive it means so much to me! It brings some relief in my life with all

these negative thoughts I have. So thank you Bee and moderators for your helpful

replies!

Bee, as much as I would like to understand that acne will become better, for now

I just wished my body would have chosen all the possible detoxing reactions and

not this one...

I was asking about liver, if it is safe to eat everyday, cause of vit A

toxicity. I'm thinking I could eat liver instead of taking extra vit A

supplements.

Can I make 48 oz of electrolyte drink in the morning so I can sip throughout the

day, maybe with more water and less lemon? (I don't use sea salt in the drink).

If I don't keep it refrigerated, will it become moldy? (this question is also

for garlic and clove tea).

How about meat storage? I am currently using plastic wraps to keep it in the

freezer, a big no-no, I know, but what can I use instead?

@ Jackie:

Yes, you had warned me

But I don't eat garlic because I want to speed up healing/detoxing, it's because

I like eating it with meat.

Ina.

+++I understand how you feel, but I would have chosen to have acne rather than

my horrible stomach. At one point during my candida program I could only eat 9

foods (I had no choice since everything else came back up.)

+++Vitamin A isn't toxic. Where did you get that idea? It would also be very

difficult to eat enough liver to get 20,000 - 30,000 IU of vitamin A per day.

+++Yes, you can make it up once in the morning. No, it wouldn't get moldy, at

least for 2 weeks or more and the same is true for clove tea. Garlic tea will

keep for 2-3 days.

Oh, I can so relate to you right now, Ina. I think all of us who are suffering

now are wishing for any other healing manifestation but the one we have!

Although I don't have acne, my hands and arms are severely broken out, red,

itchy, and amazingly uncomfortable. Sometimes I even have to lather them up in

CO and bandage them up to my elbows at night to sleep. I've only been on the

diet 2-1/2 weeks so I am praying the symptoms will subside soon. At least with

the suggestions on how to help with die-off that I've read on Bee's site seem to

affect my skin in a positive way (like the extra Vit C and Epsom salt

baths--delightful) I am encouraged to stick with it. I have no other recourse.

Been to see every kind of doctor and nutritionist with no results. Summer is

coming and I am hoping my skin clears enough to wear short sleeves...without

scaring the public! We are all here for you Ina! Lynn

Hi Ina,

hang in there! I know how hard it is dealing with acne. It really makes a person

depressed. I had some major acne issues that got worse when I first started an

anti candida diet. Now I'm starting Bee's program adding more fat and it's

causing some breakouts again. Just go slow at it. I've also found a product

called Cell food oxygen skin gel.

http://www.luminahealth.com/products/oxygengel.htm

this is natural except for a little preservative but I avoid chemicals in

everything else so I make an exception for this. And it says it's sourced from

berry ash, so that might be better.

it helps speed up the healing of blemishes. and I also use a little thing called

OxyLift, which also helps speed up the healing of the blemish. It doesn't thin

the skin like exfoliating does.

http://www.oxyliftcanada.com/ and just try to remember that it's only temporary

and eventually you will have beautiful skin! I also use tamanu oil to help with

scarring. and try not to give in to the negative feelings, change your thoughts

right away if you can. It helps

Good luck with the rest of your progress!

+++Hi . You can get the same results with your skin by using 3% hydrogen

peroxide (H202) mixed 50/50 with non-chlorinated water, and it is cheaper. If

you wish you can buy Food Grade 35% H202 at the health store, and dilute it in

distilled water to 3% to use instead.

You can wash your skin with it, or spray it on. Just be careful not to get it

near your eyes. H202 is produced by your body too, and it is very oxgenating.

All the best, Bee

Bee, will I get acne reactions the entire time I'll be on the diet, until I

become healthy? Cause if my body will be constantly detoxing, this means I will

constantly get these reactions. But the reason I get acne is because my liver

doesn't detoxify properly? I had my appendix removed, and I've read on your

website that this is not good for the immune system.

Like most people, I've read the vitamin A articles about toxicity. I wasn't

planning on eating only liver for vit A, but in addition to cod liver oil,

instead of taking extra supplements.

My meat storage question may have sounded a bit silly, but after many years of

vegetarianism, all things related to meat seem new to me. All my life I have

seen it wraped in plastic at my family & friends, they are not at least

concerned of the health issues that this group is well aware of...

I wanted to ask you about the egg drink, I hadn't introduced it yet in the diet.

With the same ingredients and amounts (except water) can I make scrambled eggs

instead or that would no be such a healthy alternative?

For acne you recommended the hydrogen peroxide solution, but what exactly is it

used for? For speading up healing, reducing scarring?

@Lynn &

Thank you for your support!

As long as I will have acne on my face, my depression won't vanish...

, I have not heard of tamanu oil before, but I've heard of Rose Hip Oil

( Mosqueta) for scarring. Didn't try it though.

+++Hi Ina. I can't say you will have acne the entire time you are on the diet.

That's UP to your body isn't it? Most people who have had acne don't have it

the entire time anyway.

+++No, it isn't because your liver doesn't detoxify properly, nor is it caused

by not having an appendix. It is because that is the way your body has decided

it needs to detoxify.

+++My body was different, since I detoxified mostly through my stomach, my mouth

and my vagina. Also at one point during my candida program I detoxified through

my eyes for 3 months.

+++You can have liver as much as you wish in addition to all of the supplements.

+++You have eggs any way you like them, and as many as you wish. The Egg Drink

is just a simple way to get enough butter and coconut oil.

>

+++Hydrogen peroxide is very healing because it is oxgenating. One of our

members reported using the spray on her skin which greatly improved it. But it

won't necessarily speed up healing since most healing comes from within with

mainly " proper nutrients. " I can't say it reduces scarring. If scars are going

to lessen it would come from within too.

All the best, Bee
