Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 For Os I usually recommend 1gr of protein per lb of bodyweight. So a 150lbs person would eat 150 gr of protein - found in about 21oz of meat. Yes exercise (daily) is 50% of how well you feel according to . Diet & exercise Also exercise is important. I changed my way of eating and certainly felt better. Even eating tons of meat & fat! I didn't really start losing weight until I added regular exercise. I walk, and just joined a gym. Now to keep it up... On the gram thing, are there 28 grams in an ounce? I could have sworn I was supposed to eat 20+ oz of meat per day, but when I divide my weight now, it's below 10. I'm doing something wrong. Suggestions? E Long It's 1 gram not 1 oz. Neither one of us suggest any amount of protein WITHOUT LOTS OF GREN VEGGIES! So it isn't an issue.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi Donna and thanks so much for the info........... one thing........ Kava Kava Root even states that it is NOT good for us...... Also my herbal chiropractor had me on a diet and I never felt better..... I can find it when my new computer gets back.... you are so right. Also remember 54 oz water a day no more no less.... My doc had me on diet something like this..... NO GLUTEN... that means no wheat.... so very very few things are made without it.... also, he had me on no sugar or course but included fruit for first month. Diet consisted of Meat, which I know you don't eat.... no potatoes, almost every veggie, but no avacados, no bananas, no yams, one type of rice only.... I would mix a one dish of the dark basmati rice, many veggies, of course no butter, sometimes add some filet mignon bits, lettuce, all other vegies...... oh no corn, I will get it..... no sodas, anyway, while on diet for three months I began running and swimming again, bloat disappeared, but it was so boring.... especially the gluten part... Everything almost has gluten which is Mainly any wheat products... Thank you so much.... you are so right. hugs, sally..... I will try and find diet ext I know he has website and a book with diet in it.... Also, I had no migraines while on the diet. But if you live with anyone, and don't wnat to be bored stiff and give up even potatoes and fruit.... At that time, I had such bad migraines I was willing to try anything and that diet seemed to make me feel normal, healthy, and energetic enough to get back to running and swimming. Thank you for reminding me.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi Sally, Oh my you are right, Kava Kava Root is toxic to the liver, thank you so much for this info. A lot of foods that you have eliminated are good for cancer. These diets are so confusing. The diet that I am following is geared for cancer and was suggested by s Hopkins (except for the herbal teas). I am saving your diet for the future but 1st I need to beat this cancer. By the way my lung biopsy is 01/09/2006; the tumor will be burned with a laser during the biopsy and a pathologist with be there as well. If it is cancer I will have to do chemo & radiation before I can have a liver transplant. The tumor on my liver will have to be burned as well to stop the spread of the cancer until I can have the transplant. I have to be careful with my water intake, my ankles swell so badly that they actually hang over my feet but I drink as much as I can. I bought a book years ago titled " The Zone " which is a diet for general good health and am just now starting to read it. I will post this info as I read it. Hugs to you, Donna Gail > Hi Donna and thanks so much for the info........... one thing........ Kava Kava Root even > states that it is NOT good for us......

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi Donna... Eliminating some of the meat in your diet will do wonders for you. You only need two ounces of protein a day anyway..unless you are a triathlete. And of course there are many " non animal " forms of protein out there. Breaking down animal foods is extremely tough on your liver..so you have done yourself a great favor there. Getting some of your " moisture " is easier for us in the form of high moisture vegis..like celery and cucumbers, bananas etc..it ALL counts. I found it very difficult to drink the amount of water that was suggested to me, so I had to find other ways to get it in. It is true that your body will not let go of water unless it is getting some on a regular basis. The kind of edema that we experience however is different than the usual water retention that most people think of. It has to do with irregular albumin levels (made by the liver) that disrupts our osmotic pressure. This allows fluid to leak out of the vessels into the surrounding tissue. Much more difficult to manage. I have had great luck with this by adding one or two baby aspirin a day to my regimen, and about 10 to 12 grams of iodine. Our blood tends to be thicker, anyway...and combine that with the lack of adequate proteins to manage the return flow, and the pressure in the vessels and the ankle swelling can get pretty sucky. Another thing that makes a big difference, is NOT to eat and drink at the same time. Dilluting your stomach acid makes it even more difficult for us to absorb nutrients through the stomach lining...and thats where fat soluable nutrients are taken in. Separate your meals from your liquid by at least 30 minutes or so. You can only absorb about six ounces of water an hour..so much more than that and you are only stripping your body of minerals.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Most meat has thick fibers that are hard to digest and makes your body work harder. I love all veggies except for okra and make sure that I have a variety of mostly fresh and some steamed veggies and fruits, so I know that I have enough protein. Once in a while I will have seafood, I can't always avoid the temptation, love that seafood. Fiber is especially important for heppers to keep the ammonia counts down. I have a problem with trying to keep white flour out of my diet as almost everything has white flour, I welcome any suggestions. I do drink water, juice and milk, just not enough to create excess fluid.
