Re: Carolyn's Diet plan

[Guest guest]

Thank you, . I do have a few questions.

Can the added oil be for cooking, or must it be added after cooking?

What is dulse?

The kelp I have is in long crinkly sheets. I just cut it up and add to

salads. Is there a kelp available in sprinkle form (like salt)?

How many ounces of protein does one egg count as?

Can the fruit be added to a meal instead of in between breakfast and lunch?

I have bladderwrack capsules (from NAP). How many of them should I take per

day, if any?

Thanks! Carolyn

So breakfast would be two eggs PLUS four more ounces of protein?

Carolyn

[Guest guest]

Yes, or 6 eggs.

Isn't it interesting how people question proper quantities of protein,

yet eating 2 cups of rice (90grams of carbs) people don't even blink

about?

That sounds like a huge breakfast to me, and, since being on this diet I have no

interest at all in snacks but just have my three meals and drink lots of water

and herbal teas.

In the past I have not lost weight because I wasn't eating enough but if you're

not hungry ? . . .

I've been watching the diet ideas.

This part I do not agree with.

Fruit is too high in sugar to be eaten alone and should in my opinion

ALWAYS be eaten with significant protein and some oil - in other words

with a meal - to " cover " the insulin jolt it will cause.

It's a strain on the pancreas if you eat high-carb items alone - and

also hard on the digestive system when so much alkali is needed.

It works much better if eaten at the same time as protein - as then you

do not have an overdose of either acid or alkali digestive juices - and

the stomach's buffering system that tries to keep things on the level -

and is not overtaxed.

A lot of O types will have a really hard time with fruit on its own and

will get indigestion from the alkali needed for digestion - feels like

heartburn but is from alkali not acid. This is no joke - nor is the jolt

to anyone's insulin requirements - you will get pancreatic burn-out if

you keep eating high sugar on its own.

Some protein to produce acid and have some balance - is a good thing. We

have buffering systems to make sure each does their job - at the same

time - in the stomach.

(Don't read that rubbish about eating fruits separately - written by

those who did not study their biology of digestion properly. A book

called Fit For Life was the worst offender I saw so far.)

Namaste,

Rice isn't a veg it's a starch.

Veg is like spinach or mushroom.

Sure can - 4oz instead of 6oz

* Hi

I'm 150 lbs (5'0 " tall) and I should weigh about 120lbs. Should I just

decrease the portions a bit but maintain the same basic diet?

Thanks! Trish

..

[Guest guest]

Okay, so the protein bars and soy yogurts are gone.

I went to the store tonight and bought all sorts of beneficial and neutral

proteins (beef, lamb, chicken, salmon) and vegetables (broccoli, carrots,

sweet potatoes, peas, spinach).

But after all this discussion, I do have two more questions.

What is the purpose of the water with lemon and salt in the morning?

and

What is the ratio of a person's weight to the amount of protein? If I do

end up losing weight on this, at what point do I decrease the amount of

protein, and how (from which meals first)?

Oh, how often can I have pineapple juice? And where does goat cheese fit

into this, if I want some? Guess I had more than two questions.

Thanks! Carolyn

[Guest guest]

>What is the purpose of the water with lemon and salt in the morning?<

Easier to consume that much water and I meant to say that do this all

day, unless you don't find it necessary.

You get minerals and vitamins and makes the water taste better.

>What is the ratio of a person's weight to the amount of protein?<

The less body fat you have the faster your metabolism which requires

more food, so for now don't worry much about it.

In general, you want 1 gr per lbs. However the ratio that I gave you is

lower. Once your body starts burning fat you will have a better

understanding of your body.

>Oh, how often can I have pineapple juice? And where does goat cheese

fit into this, if I want some?<

Juice is pure sugar and not beneficial when one is trying to reduce

weight. What I suggest is to eat the fruit (once a day), btw, all this

is an addiction to sugar. Give the diet a chance and your cravings for

**juices** will go away. If you must use some, cut it with water (1oz

juice to 10oz water)

Goat cheese - only sprinkle a little bit on veggies, no larger amounts.

We want to get your body to use medicine, not poison :-)

Just try the diet that I outlined for you. Be strong and don't give in

into your addictions. You have no need to eat cheese to be healthy.

Now if you change your mind & want a diet to satisfy your addictions...

I can do that as well, and both pineapple & goat cheese would be part of

it. However that diet would make you gain weight and help you age

faster. Let me know! :-)

I don't mnd the taste of water -- it's my beverage of choice anyway -- so

making it more palatable isn't an issue. And I think I get my vitamins and

minerals elsewhere (I do take those supplements, remember -- and by the way,

I stopped taking alfalfa). So if this is optional, I'll forgo it.

I was only drinking the pineapple juice to take my morning supplements

with -- and because I read here that it worked to reduce body edema. I can

easily drop it. I probably am getting used to the sugar again -- with the

yogurt and protein bars -- after spending more than a year completely

sugar-free. I mean, I don't even use sugar substitutes. The yogurt and

protein bars were my only added sugars, and lately the juice has been my

only fruit-sugar (I guess in the winter, my desire for fruit drops -- I'd

never noticed that before).

Okay, , here's another question, now that we're talking water. I've

heard all sorts of conflicting ideas about *when* to have water. Before

eating? During eating? After eating? Should there be a time buffer? I

have a friend who, because of surgery, is not permitted to drink water for

1/2 hour before or 1/2 hour after eating, but she is supposed to drink lots

of water during the day. I know why it is this way for her -- should it be

this way for everyone?

Thanks, Carolyn

Drink between meals away from food or before you eat, but not after

unless it is something like a warm tea.

Sorry, , I must be missing something here. Where is the 190

grams of protein?

By my calc, there are 16oz of protein all up. If there's 7 grams of

protein per oz, that makes 112 grams of protein. Which leaves another

78 grams to get. Is that covered by the 5 cups of veges?

Is there a generic figure for vegetables that we can use when

calulating protein consumption?

Otherwise, if you actually mean 16oz of protein, then that's actually

453 grams of protein. So I'm guessing that's not what you meant.

Why do you say that?

You body will enjoy the liquid whenever you drink it - and if you eat a

" dry " meal you will not digest it very well, as all food needs a good

deal of liquid to dissolve in before it can even be absorbed.

Do not listed to the stories about " diluting " digestive juices. They are

an old wives tale. Your digestive juices have to do with total amount of

digestive juice present - not how much water it is in.

Think this way: If you swallow a teaspoon of ascorbic acid powder all by

itself - you will hopefully get a teaspoon of Vit C into you.

If you swallow the same amount in a cup of water - you will still get a

teaspoon of Vitamin C into you, but this time it will dissolve properly

and be absorbed instead of giving your stomach lining a hard time - or

going through to the intestine because it had too little fluid to

dissolve it.

NOTHING gets absorbed unless it is properly dissolved. SO failing to

drink enough with meals is a very bad idea. And drinking a lot with

meals does not " dilute " the ability to digest - quite the opposite - it

improves the ability to digest - the same way you can absorb vitamin C

better in liquid than without it.

So drink up - any time you like. Be reasonable:

If you drink a gallon water at a meal, you may not have *space* to fit

in any food. But having plenty of liquid to dissolve the food particles

helps digestion to occur well. Often if you have indigestion it is

simply because there was not enough liquid to dissolve everything. Drink

more and it will come right - you don't need an " antacid " every time

your insides yell that " the acid needs some diluting here please so it

can work on the food instead of the stomach walls " !

Namaste,

Irene

Are the recomendations for protein quantities mostly so that one doesn't get

hungry, or do we really need it for optimum health? If one weighs 190, for

example, but your ideal weight is 120, would it be adequate, and maybe even best

for weight-loss purposes, to eat 120 gms. of protein per day?

And I wasn't. Well, perhaps a little peckish by the time dinner came along,

but that might be because dinner was a little later than usual. But all in

all, the day (first day on this) went well, except I forgot the walnuts at

breakfast and put them instead into lunch. I hope that's okay.
