Re: Re: checking in, food combining & thyrosine

[Guest guest]

Hi Brennen,

Yep, I'm the pregnant one! This is our fourth. I have a 12, 8 and 1 1/2 year

old. As you can see we had a large gap. We went through over 5 years of

secondary infertility. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to

experience in my life.

I wish you luck on getting pregnant. Good for you to get yourself nice and

healthy before you do.

Rashelle has told me a way to modify LL during pregnancy so I have been doing

that as long as it feels okay.

As far as how I eat I eat a plant based diet. Pretty much everything without

a label. I use very little processed foods. I eat whole grains, potatoes,

fruits, veggies, and very little nuts and seeds. I have been eating this way for

over 8 years now and love it. It has changed my life.

[Guest guest]

Connie,

I couldn't believe it the first time I heard it too. On the other hand, I

just can't believe that corn or potatoes created by the hand of God could be bad

for you.Grin

[Guest guest]

What a wonderful thing for your friend. What is the KISS rule? The

diet sounds a lot like Gwen Shamblins Weigh down diet which makes a LOT

of sense to me. More so than eating every 3 hours whether you are

hungry or not! Connie :-)

Re: Re: checking in, food combining & thyrosine

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,

,

You're the pregnant one! I knew somebody in here was,

but I haven't learned who is who yet... still trying

to keep up with everyone... my DH and I are trying to

get pregnant. Been off the pill since first of

April... had two really weird periods May and June

(May was one day average, next day HEAVY HEAVY, next

couple of days hardly nothing... then June 9th, I was

two days late, had my period basically one day normal,

then nothing!)... I'm hoping it will " take " this

month, because I don't want to be pregnant in the hot,

hot, humid SC summer months! Just about 20 minutes

ago, I had a wave of nausea... but I don't guess I am,

even if I had my period only one day...

Do you still do your LL through pregnanacy?

What is gluten, and what can you eat if not gluten...

fruits and veggies and complex carbs? KISS?

Wow , that was certainly an eye-opener, I never knew that about

pigs~that is why I LOVE this group, so much wonderful info we share!

Connie :-)

Re: Re: checking in, food combining & thyrosine

Bonnie,

I have talked to many farmers around her that raise pigs and yes they

fatten

them on corn but it isn't the corn that is necessarily making them fat.

What

they are doing is starving them for days and days (sound like dieting

anyone??), then they finally let them eat and they binge and binge and

binge. Just like

when we diet and eat very little calories and then our hunger gets a

hold of

us we eat and eat and eat. That is what packs the pounds on not eating

the

corn.

The farmers I have talked too said this was a big misconception that

many

people have pushed across the board that are trying to push the low carb

way of

eating.

> and think about how they fatten up cattle and pigs, on corn....

Same here Melinda... I think I've had a thyroid

problem too and didn't know it. My maternal

grandmother had to have a parathyroid removed... and

my mother is on thyroid medication. Not sure if the

herbal Dr. I got to is getting it fixed... what have

you been doing to get yours stabilized? I too feel

like I've got more drive, at least in the last week or

so, but maybe that's because my clothes aren't any

looser! But I still also have the want to just go home

and lay on the couch all night... but I make myself do

the Callenetics twice per week, Curves 2-3 per week

(at lunch) and LL in the car to/from work... I just

wish I could get the want to go out on long walks

several times per week... I know that would probably

help me too.

Hi ,

I would love to have your cornbread recipe. I love the stuff but never make it

anymore because of the sugar and calories.

Thanks!

What's the modified way to LL? (just in case:))

For your whole grains, do you buy whole wheat bread?

or just other forms like brown rice, etc. It's not an

easy way to eat, if you want quickie meals.... then

again, I guess a veggie sandwich would work, huh?

Why not much nuts, seeds? Because of the fat? The

Lord made those too, didn't He? (grin) I love raw

almonds, and believe it or not, my DH does too! Never

would have believed!

Thank you for reminding me of this way of eating. I learned this many

years ago while attending a group. I am ready to do this again along with LL of

course! I have been searching for a good way to eat and this sounds like the

best way.

Thanks again...
