Intro from Central Fl/ raw milk diet

February 16, 2009

I have been a member for a couple of weeks

now but haven’t taken the time to introduce myself. I live in Tampa, Fl and have been

drinking raw milk for about 5 years now. I have always loved milk but now

more than ever since I know what it is supposed to taste like!!

I would LOVE to someday have my own

homestead with some goats and a couple of Jersey cows but can’t afford

anything near the Tampa

area. We live in town but I do have 14 chickens in the back yard.

We have no grass but it is worth it having them.

I am married to Will and have 4 little

girls ages ranging from 7yrs to 3 months.

Now, on to the milk diet. I found the book titled “The

Miracle of Milk: How to use the milk diet scientifically at home” by Bernarr

Macfadden. I found it on milk-diet.com and in the process of reading

chapter 3 and then clicking on chapter 4, the website stopped working!! I

mentioned it to my hubby and he somehow got on the backside of the website and

downloaded the whole book for me. The big difference I saw between his

book and the book most people read is that Bernarr believes that exercise is

allowed and even helpful unless you are so ill you have to be on bed rest.

I have been on the milk diet for about a month. I have had food

periodically when we have been somewhere and it would be rude not to eat

something. In that situation, I have tried to eat meat and or

veggies/salad but have stayed away from grains and starches. I do notice

that the days I only drink milk I feel so much better!! I thought it

would be hard to cook for my family and not eat, but it actually hasn’t

been.

I was surprised when I first started that I was never hungry and had no

cravings!! I also have more energy and had to increase the speed on my treadmill

to feel challenged.

hyesun : In the book it says basically that if you are constipated, you

need to consume more and if you have diarrhea, you may be consuming too

much. You also may have been detoxing. How long were you on the

diet?

Edwin, I grew up in Carlisle and my

family is still there. I may have to stop in for a visit on the next trip

up!!
