You put so much thought and work into this diet. I feel good about using Olive Oil and butter for cooking also. If I want to succeed with the diet, and I do, I will have to gradually introduce these changes with my family because it is just impossible to cook different meals for me and have them eating like we do now. I find we eat a lot of fried foods. The pictures at at the back of our farm. Behind the farm buildings we have rolling hills that go right to the back of the property then that woods. It is all overgrown but a treat to walk through and see the beaver dam and all the birds and occasional deer. No one goes in it much. Occasionally we have to go back and clear out hunters because we don't allow hunting. They are sneaky. They use bows and arrows sometimes, so you don't hear the gunshots. Thanks for all the wonderful diet hints, . With us all doing it, we can do better with the support. I am not going to introduce anything too different because my guys wouldn't eat it. They are steak and potatoes people, so I have to go slow. Talk to you soon. :>)) Hugs Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have cut way back on tea. The Ezekial I'll give a pass tho. We gradually introduced the whole wheat, cracked wheat and rye and now we can't eat the white bread. Funny how yu can change your tastes. I feel better mentally eating the whole grains and if you get the 12 grain heavier more dense bread, you don't eat as much because it is so heavy. I guess I'm lucky because I don't have an arthritic reaction to food but would like to lose weight. I can eat tomatoes and eat them fresh off the vine from my garden. The only reaction I get is the occasional mouth ulcer. I found a tomato plant last year that is less acidic so I'm going to grow more of them this year again. I never did acquire a taste for any kind of alcohol and beer just gives me a headache, so we drink mostly juices in our house, or occasionally Ginger Ale.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2000 Report Share Posted March 15, 2000 Dear , Have you read anything about twig tea? does it have the same cancer preventing qualities as regular and green tea? I haven't been drinking any tea, but, being a NC girl, I really miss it. Gloria ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
