Re: Re: weight & pregnancy (was -My Butcher and heart disease)

[Guest guest]

Hi Robin,

I managed to gain 87lb!!! through having two kids and lost some (33lb) by

virtue of actually giving birth and breast feeding and the extra weight

remained for the next 15 years!!! and then I went on a Palaeolithic eating

plan with many NT principles incorporated into that, initially to cure my

chronic Candida. it worked for the Candida but amazingly I managed to lose

50 lb. in the process I've kept it this way since Jan. 2000... maybe it

could work for you?! it should be good to eat lots of vegetables with meat

fish fruit and nuts etc. I did eat sweet potatoes or new potatoes on

occasions and the odd yoghurt. I felt just fine. lots of energy loss of

weight seems OK to me.

Good luck with the pregnancy.

Did you use raw milk? I ask this because NT seems to be very big on milk as

long as it's raw and organic.

I don't drink milk myself, only goat's milk yoghurt. organic but not raw.

haven't been able to get any raw yet. my kids drink milk again, organic

pasteurised but at least not homogenised.

Hey, we try the best we can.
