Re: Re: checking in, food combining & thyrosine

When you say " food combining " is that like the Suzanne

Somers diet? Protein with veggies, fruits by

themselves, carbs... and what goes with carbs? I

forget... I've never tried that, but I've read about

it. Don't you have to wait a certain about of time

between meals also? It kinda sounds like a lot to

remember, but I guess you get used to it, huh?

I looked for pharmacia.com, but it redirected me to

Pfizer... so I found some at Ritecare.com for 11.16

each (100 ct) and 5.95 shipping... does that sound

okay? All others I saw were 15.95, 17.00, 18.99, etc.

Hope your day is great!

Hi Brennen,

I don't follow ne Somers because I think it is restrictive. About all I

do, is I don't mix a protein with a carb. I Eat proteins, vegies and fats

together or I eat carbs, vegies and fat together. I do eat fruit by itself.

The reasoning behind food combining is that proteins and fats don't digest

together. It's kind of like oil and water. Carbs are easily digested and

when eaten with protein, the carbs will digest and the protein stays in your

body until it can be processed. If you eat the protein without the carb it

will digest with no problem. This way, I dont' worry about what I eat except

for not mixing the two. If you eat carbs you must wait 2 hrs before you eat

protein. If you eat protein you need to wait 3 hrs before eating carbs.

Fruit needs to be eaten by itself on an emptly stomach and after 20 min you

can eat either protein or carb. That's it in a nutshell. The best book I

read was Fit for life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. I find it much easier

to eat the carbs because they are so many of them and I find I keep my

weight off more eating carbs as opposed to protein. I think I may be the

only one in hisstory who decided to try Atkins and gained following it

totally. As soon as I went back to my good carbs, I started losing again.

That just proves how different our bodies are. I do find that when I food

combine, I never have indigestion.

Love,

You are not the only one that gained on Atkins... my

cousin-in-law said she followed it by the book too and

gained 5 pounds in a month. I tried a version of

Atkins (Curves low-carb) and lost 3.5 pounds the first

week, 1 pound the second week, then nothing nothing

nothing... Do you eat mostly whole wheat breads and

pastas, etc? I'm assuming you'd count beans like

limas and black-eyed as carbs also, correct? Maybe

I'll give it a try.... Thanks for the info! How's

your week off so far?

Hi Brennen, I do use whole grain breads and pastas when I can find them, but

not always. Actually beans are both carb and protein but I count them as

carbs.

I am loving my week of freedom. It may even be longer. I went by today and

the remodeling is not even close to being finished. My sister says Monday

but I'm guessing it will be longer. Ho Hummmmmmm, I could get really used to

this!!

Funny you say somersizing is restrictive when what you just described is

exactly what somersizing is.... I somersized for a summer a few years

back and I was able to lose 30 lbs. I think it gets lumped into the low

carb atkins group because it is low carb but it is a lot less

restrictive than you think and you can eat fruits and vegies. The trick

like you said is on food combining which is the basis of what

Somersizing is all about.

I don't know anything about food combining -- but I do know a bit about

low-carbing....

My husband and I have low-carbed for many years -- and it is not particularly

restrictive. The notion that you eat NO carbs is really wrong -- there's an

induction period (typically 2 weeks) in which you restrict your carbs to 20,

then you increase (with good carbs) until you find your level.

I think that what low-carb really means is that you eliminate bad carbs (i.e.,

processed foods such as sugar, white flour, white rice) -- and sparingly eat the

high-sugar natural foods (such as white potatoes, mangos, bananas, etc.); and

you eat adequate fats and only the good fats (no trans-fats). You are supposed

to eat a LOT of vegetables (particularly the low-carb ones like broccoli,

cauliflower, salads, etc.).

We eat bread (we particularly like Ezekiel's sprouted grain breads) spread with

butter, we don't eat " double cheeseburgers with bacon " but rather eat a lot of

different meats/fish. And we eat a ton of vegetables and fruits.

For example, last night we had fish baked in a sun-dried-tomato-pesto/cream

sauce, broccoli, and a large salad (lettuce, spinach. tomato, avocado, cucumber,

black olives, hard-boiled eggs, and sunflower seeds) -- and then for dessert had

cantaloupe. I don't consider that restrictive! Rather it was a very satisfying

meal (the best part was that my son made it, all I had to do was set the table

-- I like this type of meal!).

I do avoid processed sugar and white flour -- and I no longer miss them (this is

what the induction period is all about, eliminating the sugar cravings). I think

that processed sugar is totally unnecessary and is detrimental to your health.

However, when I compare my diet with others who try to eat healthfully, there's

not a whole lot of difference -- I may eat a bit more fats then some do, and

probably less natural sugar (I don't drink juice, for example).

Guess you've caught on by now that this is a hot button with me!!!!

Hi

The only reason I said I thought it was a bit restrictive is that you can

eat fats with proteins but not with carbs which make the carbs pretty

restrictive. Also, she elimiates several foods which she calls funcky (at

least in the beginning) like avacados, etc. Fit for life doesn't eliminate

any foods. Other wise they are pretty similar. I have read her book also and

think it is really good, in fact I have all her books. It is just easier for

me to follow the other one.

Well said Bonnie and I agree with you. I think the sugar and white flour are

Hi Brennen, I do use whole grain breads and pastas when I can find them, but

not always. Actually beans are both carb and protein but I count them as

carbs.

I am loving my week of freedom. It may even be longer. I went by today and

the remodeling is not even close to being finished. My sister says Monday

but I'm guessing it will be longer. Ho Hummmmmmm, I could get really used to

this!!

Love,

,

You eat very similar to the way I eat too. My body, also does not do well

with protein. I have been in much better health since becoming a vegetarian. I

also feel so much better. I eat a lot less fat but other than that it sounds

like our meals are pretty similar.

I do love potatoes though! I have never met a potato that I didn't like!!

Grin I couldn't imagine life without them.

June 16, 2005

Wow , you explained that better than anyone has for me. I printed

it. What carbs do you mainly eat? Thanks, Connie :-)

Re: Re: checking in, food combining & thyrosine

Hi Brennen,

I don't follow ne Somers because I think it is restrictive. About

all I

do, is I don't mix a protein with a carb. I Eat proteins, vegies and

fats

together or I eat carbs, vegies and fat together. I do eat fruit by

itself.

The reasoning behind food combining is that proteins and fats don't

digest

together. It's kind of like oil and water. Carbs are easily digested and

when eaten with protein, the carbs will digest and the protein stays in

your

body until it can be processed. If you eat the protein without the carb

it

will digest with no problem. This way, I dont' worry about what I eat

except

for not mixing the two. If you eat carbs you must wait 2 hrs before you

eat

protein. If you eat protein you need to wait 3 hrs before eating carbs.

Fruit needs to be eaten by itself on an emptly stomach and after 20 min

you

can eat either protein or carb. That's it in a nutshell. The best book I

read was Fit for life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. I find it much

easier

to eat the carbs because they are so many of them and I find I keep my

weight off more eating carbs as opposed to protein. I think I may be the

only one in hisstory who decided to try Atkins and gained following it

totally. As soon as I went back to my good carbs, I started losing

again.

That just proves how different our bodies are. I do find that when I

food

combine, I never have indigestion.

Love,

Hi Connie,

I eat whole grains, pasta, brown rice, potatoes (mostly sweet) and

occasionally a new potato. when I eat new potatoes I rub them with olive oil

and bake them in the oven with fresh basil or rosemary ( Rashelles' recipe)

I will sometimes eat a corn tortilla or a wholewheat tortilla with a mixture

of fresh raw vegies and avacado. I eat steel cut oatmeal (it has a real

nuttly taste and has to be cooked). I use real butter, no margarine and

mostly olive oil, along with coconut oil (that's another story). Yesterday

we had a carb meal for lunch and I fixed brown rice with stir fry vegetables

and salad with a homemeade lemon juice dressing. Today I am thinking of

making a whole grain pasta with fresh basil, olive oil and sundried

tomatoes, along with a tossed salad.

I certainly hope I didn't give the impression that I thought this is the

only way to eat. There are alot of good ways of eating, this is just the one

that works for me. I don't know why, but my body just doesn't do well with

protein. I can occasionally eat a lean steak or fish but almost always have

a reaction from them, which is sad, because I love them both! And we raise

our own beef! It took me years to realize this and I am finally listening to

my body.

Have a wonderful day,

God Bless

I totally agree, the sugar and white flour are No, No's for everyone.

And so addictive!

They are like putting bad gas in your tank. Connie

Hi , Thanks for the answer, I love hearing what other successful

people are eating. I am not fond of meat and it is not fond of me. And

the way you eat is like the Maker's Diet which is the one he meant for

us. Not processed food. I am thinking of switching to real butter too

because I am trying to get away from all the processing of my foods. I

love real butter but quit because of the bad reviews, but I think they

are back peddling on a lot of that now. Love, Connie

Okay, I think I've got it pretty well now. Thanks for

eveyone's input... One more question (at least for

now) When ya'll say you don't do well with protein,

what do you mean by that? How does your body react to

protein, or how do you know your body doesn't like

protein. I've been trying to start combining as of

yesterday and had a banana and some nuts a little

later, then a half of a chicken breast and squash and

zuccini for lunch, then a grilled chicken salad for

dinner. I think it's easier, when I eat out at least,

to eat a protein/veggie meal... there's not much

choice for a carb/veggie meal, unless you ordered a la

carte, I guess.

Thanks again.... ya'll are great!

Brennen

__________________________________________________

Brennen,

You are so right about easier to eat protein when eating out. That is

usually when I eat my protein unless I can eat a tossed salad and a baked

potato or if eating mexican I sometimes just get red enchiladas without the

cheese and add lots of lettuce and tomatoes. And sometimes I just get a

couple of steamed corn tortillas and a guacamole salad The reason my body

doesn't do well with protein (and this is only me) I don't feel well and I

always gain weight. I wish I could eat it and do sometimes even though it

doesn't seem to agree with me.

For some reason my body just digests carbs (the good ones) easier.

Please don't take my word for it though, try it yourself and see. An

incredible amount of people do better on protein than they do carbs, I just

don't happen to be one of them. The major thing to do is just keep the

proteins and carbs separate.

Love,

When I eat protein, it sits like a rock in my stomach. I have tons of

digestive problems too. It just takes too long to get it out of my system. I

need to

eat complex carbs, fruits, veggies, in as close to as possible form as God

made them. If I don't I don't feel well.

I don't food combine though. I did try it once for quite awhile but it didn't

make a difference in how I felt. BUT for some people they really do notice a

difference. There are some foods that I can't eat with other foods that follow

food combining rules like all of the melons. They make me burp tons and have

heartburn. Grin

June 17, 2005

Melons do the same to me . And also cherries but oh do I love them!!!!

I can eat a whole bag of raw cherries. You're right about eating the things

the the good Lord put on this earth. I have a very good friend that has

always been a size 16 at least and about 3 months ago she started what she

calls the KISS rule, and place more emphasis on God than food and ate like

He intended us to. She decided to eat only when she was hungry, instead of

by the clock and she really listened to her body and when she was full she

just quit. She said everytime she went out, along with her order she got a

to-go box and immediately put half of her meal in it. She was amazed at how

she would get full on just the half. If she was hungry when she got home,

(truly hungry, stomach growling hungry) She would eat the rest. She is now a

size 6 and looks fabulous. Needless to say I am extremely proud of her.

Love,

Hi, ! I hope you're feeling more chipper these days. I had forgotten that

you were a vegetarian. Aren't you and your family gluten intolerant? We've

been doing Rex's soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free diet for about 2 weeks now.

What a challenge! Soy is in absolutely everything, it seems.

Did you just naturally lose weight when you went gluten-free?

Wow, 3 months, ? That's encouraging. I'm just still trying to get my

thyroid stabilized, but would love to have it in me to follow something like

that. I think my problem the last 5 or 6 years has been my thyroid and I just

didn't know it. Some of the *want to* is coming back for exercise and for

watching my diet. Oh to feel better!
