Guest guest Posted October 15, 1999 Report Share Posted October 15, 1999 " Hi, Diane from Wine Country! I really enjoyed your post! You give me hope! I have not been as faithful to the diet as you have been, and I have not had good results. I am convinced that this diet and way of life is the way to go for my body, but I am having some trouble implementing these changes. One of the reasons is one you expressed also, working full time and junk food junkieism! I don't know your age, but I think my age works against me also (59) because I have been doing the wrong things for so long a time. What I am trying to implement right now is some structured changes. I do better with structure. I want to figure out a 30 day plan for exercise, menus, and so on. I am sure I will feel much better by 30 days and then can go on. I am so busy that it's difficult to devote much time to setting up a schedule like that, and I need to convince my husband so he will partner with me on this. What you mentioned about the steaks and salad is perfect for me to fix after work. I knew that but I guess I forgot about it. I am going to buy some steaks today! You mentioned lignan flax oil. I went to the frig to see what I have, since I just bought some yesterday and hadn't opened it yet. I bought Barlean's Lignan Rich Flax Oil. Cost $11.25/12 fl. oz. (Midwest prices). I took a spoonful and found it to be pretty much what I'm used to. I didn't notice any yellow flecks. Are you sure yours is supposed to have flecks? Maybe you should call the store. I also have a serious coffee habit to overcome. I was off coffee a few months ago and on to green tea, but I can't seem to drink it without a spoonful or two of honey. I don't know if that's bad or not. But I'm back on the coffee now. I am going to try to get rid of that habit. I always carried a tea bag or two with me and just asked for hot water in restaurants. They don't usually charge you for hot water. But if they did, I figured, oh, well, at least I wasn't putting their tea in my body. I'll look for that Gun Powder Green tea you mentioned. That sounds pretty good. I loved your meat tips, too. I didn't know those things about the different cuts, but now I know! That will help with meat selection. Thanks a lot! I also used to eat microwave meals after work. Since I got married 4 years ago, I don't do that any more. My husband says that microwave ovens take a lot of nutrients out of the food. Do you know if that's true? You have so many good ideas that refresh my memory that I am going to tack your post up on my refrigerator. Thanks so much! Carol " When I first started the transition to eating right, I had to give up a serious coffee habit first. I used to drink about 20 ozs every morning, with equal, coffeemate, and flavored lightener. It was a several hundred calorie substitute for a real breakfast! I switched to green tea so I didn't have to completely withdraw from caffeine. For several weeks I had to have an afternoon cup too or I got a powerful headache. Now I just have a 20 oz cup of Gun Powder Green tea with stevia every morning. (It's good for me and I love it!) I still have the occasional coffee. A soy milk latte if I'm feeling more compliant, or a breve if not (made with half and half.) I try to limit my coffee to a couple cups per week since I know how easy it would be for me to slip back into addictive coffee consumption. I'd like to give up coffee for good, but don't think that's realistic since I enjoy it so much. At least now when I drink it, it's because I choose to have some for the pure pleasure, not because I can't face the world without it. I'm thinking of printing that list of bad things about coffee and reading it before I go for a latte since it was a rather compelling list. My feeling is you should buy the best quality, lowest fat meat you can possibly afford. I mostly get filet mignon because every bit of it goes into my stomach and not the cats or the fat jar. I'd like to buy 100% organic beef but I usually get cost-co steaks since they are much cheaper than regular store prices. (I freeze them individually) I try to only eat 3 to 5 ozs so my daily cost isn't that much. I like grilled steaks because they take the least amount of time and work to prepare and we all know how much work is involved in following this diet. T-bone steaks are a nice alternative but I hate paying for bones. If you do buy a T-bone, try to get one with the small side of the T as big as possible. A T bone is just a filet mignon on the small side of the bone and a new york strip on the other. Most stores sell T-bones with the filet side trimmed down to practically nothing. If that's the case, you might as well buy a boneless new york strip and save some money by not paying for a bone. Rib eyes are my second choice for steak buying. They have more fat as a rule, but they sure are tasty. I usually only get them when they are on sale. I like ground beef for burgers since they are low work too. I usually get the leanest beef I can find (at costco, I wish they sold organic!) and freeze it in burger shaped or 1/2 lb. portions. I bought one of those plastic burger shaper thingys and have been so glad I did. It makes shopping day go so much faster since I can freeze up 3 lbs of beef into patties in no time. If I'm not having steak or burgers, I buy really cheap meat, what ever is on sale at the best price, and lowest in fat. Round steak works great in stews, soups, and stir fry (top round is better quality than bottom round if I am not mistaken.) Stew meat is fine too if the price is close to round steak but they usually charge more because it is already cut up. I bought a dehydrator recently (another fantastic investment for type O's) and I get the lowest fat beef roast or large steak and slice it for beef jerky. I bought some London Broil on sale last time I made jerky. It came out great. I use my cuisinart to slice it for the most consistent results. (Another investment since ER4YT, and well worth it.) I work full time and before ER4YT I was a junkfood junkie and cooked most meals from a frozen box in the microwave. (Pasta garbage..... no wonder I felt lousy.) My cooking time during the work week is pretty limited, that's why I depend on single portion steaks and burgers. I save the creative cooking for weekends. (And always freeze half of what I make for mid-week.) I buy the convenience salad stuff because I know I will eat it if I only half to open the bag and pour. I get broccoli flowerettes too. A steak on my grill and some broccoli in the microwave and I'm eating right after a hard day at work in about 15 minutes or less. Sure, I pay more, but the money I am not spending at Burger King and so on makes up for it. I never would have thought I could go an entire year (almost) without eating any cake, cookies, brownies, chips, popcorn, potatoes and so on, I have a question now (if anyone is still reading this) . . . I recently got some high lignan flax oil (spectrum natural) and can't stand the taste. I love the taste of regular flax oil and so I can't tell if maybe I got some rancid oil or not. Has anyone tried both kinds of flax oil by spectrum naturals? Does the high lignan variety have a different taste? And does it always have those funny looking yellow flecks in it? I'm tempted to take it back to the store and get an exchange but I'm afraid it's not the oil and I will just dislike the taste of a new bottle too. Any help from experienced flax oil drinkers is much appreciated. (I have a rule for myself . . . no chocolate until I've had my daily dose of flax and the taste of the high lignan is really turning me off!) << File: ATT00010.html >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 1999 Report Share Posted October 15, 1999 Hi Diane - rather than trim I just deleted. For an antidepressant I use 5 HTP. I have Fibromyalgia so my seratonin levels are low. I also have low thyroid and refused to start drugs for it and brought it up by using Kelp and then this stuff called T-100. Basically its a glandular supplement with bladderwrack, etc. in it. Maybe eventually you can find a similar supplement or you can buy the T-100 at www.ldfr.com Its $12. Never had the coffee habit but my husband does. May see if he will try the green tea to wean with. I guess I've been on this diet for several months and do feel a difference. Haven't been as good as you. Have been going to spelt pastas, etc. Have a beef allergy so eating more chicken, fish, etc. instead. Anyway - enjoyed your intro. Twas inspirational. I'm hurting a lot for some reason so am not real enthusiastic right now. Don't know if this Alaskan weather is so good for me. Anyone have any experience that way of those of you with Inflammatory type problems? Cold bother you? Jeanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 1999 Report Share Posted October 15, 1999 A fellow Illinoisan! I prefer smaller towns myself. I'm from West fort if you've ever heard of it. Its down by n and Carbondale. I went to Chicago once and it was overwhelmingly huge but there is an excitement about it. I grew up in St. Louis too - well - for a couple of years of my life and visited a lot, but I like the simple life a little more. left home when I was about 19, though, only going back for summers after that and then not at all anymore. My mom and sister and brother and a few remaining relatives all still live there. We don't get as cold as you guys up there - but I sure have gone through some beastly hot summers. Felt tropical at times. I went to school in UT and got married - then my husband went active duty so since have lived in WA, VA (twice), KS and, yes, now Alaska.

Do you brush with teeth with fluoride toothpaste? Do you drink fluoridated tap water? Are any of your medications loaded with fluoride? If any of the above applies to you, you could be contributing to the malfunction of your thyroid and more. Most of you wonderful subscribers know that I am a champion of taking very good care of your thyroid. If anyone has not read my report on Hypothyroidism, and how vital it is to test your own thyroid, please simply request a copy by email. Suffice to say, if your thyroid is low and it goes undiagnosed by your doctor (very common), you'll feel a 'little' nutty, depressed, tired, emotional, dry skin and hair, high cholesterol, diabetes complications to name a few. Lack of iodine in the diet, hereditary and stress related symptoms are the main causes. Another cause has come to light that you should all be aware of. Fluoride toxicity causes Hypothyroidism! One of the treatments for hyPERthyroidism, over functioning thyroid, is fluoride. Now, if anyone thinks fluoride is important and necessary for tooth decay, you'll be surprised to learn that the whole fluoride story is nothing more than a media and corporate manipulation. In Dr. Bragg's book " The shocking truth about water " , he tells this interesting story about how fluoride became so popular. " In 1939, a famous institute commissioned the institute's biochemist to find a use for the sodium fluoride wastes produced by aluminum pot lines. Some 45 other industries had fluoride disposal problems too. The cost of elimination of the chemical was fantastically high. Couldn't this by-product be put to a profitable use instead? " Then these 'wise' biochemists came up with a bright idea! Why not convince the public that fluoride prevents tooth decay and we'll dissolve the stuff in drinking water? Not one clinical study was done to prove this fact. But companies who were bedeviled with the sodium fluoride wastes loved it! They simply turned the idea over to an advertising company, who in turn did an awesome job of brainwashing us for generations to come. Dentists in turn had to go along with this scam since the public was so brainwashed, they questioned their dentist's credibility if he didn't recommend fluoride. If your local tap water is fluoridated, it's because big business will lobby tooth and nail to keep it that way, they haven't found a more perfect place to dump their toxic waste. Another unknown source of fluoride is black and green. Both teas absorb a high amount of fluoride from pollution in the soil and air. One cup of tea is equivalent to 7.8 liters of fluoridated water! Just look to the English for proof that flouride is not the potion people think it is...they drink an outrageous amount of tea and look at their teeth, which are even on Jay Leno's joke list. ha. If you're using green tea as an antioxidant, buy it in the capsule form only. Psycho tropic drugs like Prozac and Valium are also high in fluoride. One of the web sites listed below describes the symptoms of fluoride toxicity, they include unusually aggressive behavior, which is what is believed to be the cause of increase aggression in Prozac users! Toothpaste is something we all use everyday. It is one of the worst sources of fluoride. And don't be fooled by the natural brand " Tom's " , they too have succumbed to outside pressures providing a non-fluoridated AND a fluoridated toothpaste, so be sure to read the label. Generally, you can find non-fluoridated toothpastes at your local health store. I highly recommend one that has tea tree oil in it, if you can handle the taste. (-: The greatest damage done to the body by fluoride is to the thyroid; THYROID HORMONES Thyroid hormones are extremely important in the regulation of metabolic processes and brain development. Every cell in the body depends upon thyroid hormones for regulation of their metabolism. Many of the symptoms documented in the vast literature on the subject of chronic or low-grade fluoride poisoning can be directly related to thyroid functions and disorders. One of the most prominent features of preskeletal fluorosis is the extraordinary general fatigue experienced by most sufferers, a marked weakness usually linked to low activity of the thyroid gland. (2) This has been reported since the classic 1930's Roholm study on cryolite workers exposed to fluorides, a study which still serves as the basis for occupational fluoride exposure regulations. (73) At the time of Roholm's work the specialized field of " endocrinology " was yet to be recognized as a reputable discipline. Thyroid diseases were poorly understood. From 1940 to 1970, the application of radioiodine improved this understanding immeasurably. Fragu (74) writes: " The main transformations brought about by this tool were the knowledge of radioiodine uptake mechanisms, basis of its therapeutic effect, complete identification of thyroid hormonosynthesis, serum transport of thyroid hormones and thyroid imaging. More recently immunological and molecular paradigms changed the understanding of thyroid diseases. " It is only in the last two decades during which endocrinology has progressed so rapidly, that now over 150 symptoms and associations can be identified in hypothyroidism. Almost all(!) correlate with known symptoms of fluoride poisoning.(74) Most of the double-blind test results of fluoride poisoning found in Moolenburgh's study on water containing 1ppm of fluoride - which led to the ban of fluoridation in Holland - are now recognized symptoms of hypothyroidism. (75) The effects of fluoride on the thyroid gland have been studied so extensively, that it baffles the mind how experts on thyroid disease from Harvard or the University of Toronto can claim that fluorides do not affect thyroid gland function, especially when it has been used as medication to do just that! (76) This stance just defies all knowledge properly gained in the last 70 years of related research. One cannot find any mention of fluorides in ANY current " official " thyroid disease related literature. And this at fluoride intake levels and at dental fluorosis rates as high as they are! Already in 1940 authors H. and Floyd DeEds from the United States Department of Agriculture (discussing the role of fluorine in pesticide sprays), wrote: " Should a spray residue tolerance limit for fluorine be set to protect the normal, the hyperthyroid, or the hypothyroid individual? .... should the tolerance limit take into consideration that in certain areas the public is already exposed to a fluorine intake in the drinking water? " (77) We have posted over 100 studies documenting the adverse effects of fluoride on the thyroid gland from the last 70 years or so in the Virtual Library on Fluoride Research (78) at: http://www.bruha.com/fluoride/html/thyroid_studies.htm OK, folks, I think you get the picture. If you're interested in doing any further research, go to these websites for a wealth of information on this subject.

Online tip; Windows Y2K Fix; (Note, this is for Windows only, not for your computer) 1) Double click on " My Computer " . 2) Double click on " Control Panel " . 3) Double click on " Regional Settings " icon. 4) Click on the " Date " tab at the top of the page. Where it says, " Short Date Sample " , look and see if it shows a " two digit " year. Of course it does. That's the default setting for Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT. This date RIGHT HERE is the date that feeds application software and WILL NOT rollover in the year 2000. It will roll over to 00. 5) Click on the button across from " Short Date Style " and select the option that shows, mm/dd/yyyy. (Be sure your, selection has four Y's showing, not two). 6) Then click on " Apply " and then click on " OK " at the bottom. Easy enough to fix. However, every single installation of Windows worldwide is defaulted to fail Y2K rollover. How many people know about it? How many people know to change that? What will be the effect? Who knows.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 1999 Report Share Posted October 16, 1999 Hey, you know, it sounds like we're all dying for an easy sweet. All this talk about marshmallows. ... I was thinking this past week, couldn't you make a " fudge " with carob and walnuts. What's fudge? It's chocolate, butter and sugar heated up and mixed together and then allowed to cool and cut in cubes. So you could make the usual chocolate kind but use the whole sugar, Sucanat so you have the chromium and so on. Or you could make it with carob powder. I haven't tried this yet. Haven't made much with the carob powder so I don't know how it acts, how it's different from chocolate. Anybody know?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 1999 Report Share Posted October 16, 1999 where does one find carob chips that don't have milk???? All the ones I've looked at have something to avoid in them. I love carob though,.. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 1999 Report Share Posted October 16, 1999 Thanks for sending me the green tea info. I wonder why you can take a capsule but not an infusion of green tea? Or did I miss read that? Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 1999 Report Share Posted October 16, 1999 You are welcome Eddie. Your guess is as good as mine regarding the capsules. Don't really know much about it. Good point about the acidity too. Jeanie > From: J McBrearty <edmcbre@...> > > Thanks for sending me the green tea info. I wonder why you can take a > capsule but not an infusion of green tea?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 1999 Report Share Posted October 16, 1999 I have both Sun and Moon, both considered pretty important in Aquiarius. Cancer rising. By the Asian Indian (sidereal) astrology, my Sun is in Capricorn. The Western astrology is 23 degrees off!! Meaning " off " what's actually in the sky. Can't remember the details but it was some religiopolitical calendar decision.
