Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 My diet is influenced by www.westonaprice.org , www.mercola.com <http://www.mercola.com/> , and Atkins. The only soy we use is fermented soy such as wheat free soy sauce. I don't eat any grains at all. The kids eat brown rice and oatmeal, but we don't have bread in the house. All the veggies are organic and I love veggies. Steam them and put good quality butter or olive oil on them. You can't go wrong. The salmon is wild caught and the beef or buffalo is grass fed/organic. The chicken is pastured/organic. The milk is organic grassfed and RAW (real milk) and I make kefir from it to low the carb content. The kids just drink it straight. We make homemade sauerkraut and kimchi (yum!) I make chicken liver pate and my picky eater kids inhales it when I put it on a rye cracker (the only starch-like bread thing around). I use the pate on veggies as a meal. I eat raw milk cheese as a snack when I go too long without eating and get famished. I make the kids lots of fresh cream home made ice cream with pastured eggs, strawberries and a touch of honey. They can eat as much of that as they want. I don't touch it (-: No WAY! I take a tablespoon of cod liver oil every day. I also use coconut oil and mct oil which is supposed to give the metabolism a boost. I don't see it, but it tastes good. And to eat like that we live in a shack without a car. (-: Joking, but our friends who eat like us all joke that it kills the disposable income. Eat well, live simple. I haven't gotten skinny doing this, but I didn't get a post partum depression this time either which is what I was really scared of! My last one came from too much low fat eating and then not absorbing nutrients when with untreated thyroid. I've decided to give Schwartzbein's idea a try for a while. Heal my body and it will eventually lose weight. Keep the stress levels down and I won't pack it on. As for things to avoid. This is likely the world's biggest anti-soy web page. http://www.westonaprice.org/soy/index.html Laurel Anyway, back to the subject at hand. I was just wondering what everyone has found to work for them as far as diet, spacing out meals and things. And is ther anything we should stay away from? I did see something somewhere about not eating soy, of course that was right after I bought myself a big bag of roasted soy beans. LOL!! Well, off to finish getting ready for work.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 What do you do for carbs in your diet if you don't eat any grains? Don't know where you buy your natural organic meat & fowl but there's no place around here that sells it, that's for sure. There used to be where I used to live tho, at the Whole Foods store. But they don't exist here. So I just buy Farms chicken & no other meat, except rarely. Which doesn't leave me much to eat. And I'm really depressed about that. I can't live on just salads, mostly green leafy veggies & just steamed veggies, no tomatoes, no potatoes, no grains, no breads, no rice cakes, no sweets, no dairy, no green peppers, no fruit, no honey & not much of anything else. I can't drink any kind of cow's milk, no yogurt, no eggs, no cheese, no fermented foods or liquids. I hate this kind of diet with a passion. And it doesn't seem to be making me feel any better anyway. I also can't stand up in the kitchen to prepare foods, let alone cook them except in the microwave, b/c of the pain from my spinal pathologies. So naturally I cheat & eat stuff I'm not supposed to eat mostly out of sheer boredom in my non-life & for " comfort foods " since I need to comfort myself a lot. I was eating lots of soy products (milk, powder, cheese, tofu, edamames, soy nuts) until about a week ago when I learned it affects the thyroid adversely. So now I'm just using plain water for my breakfast drink & make extra of that to drink later in the day as part of a meal. I also eat roasted, salted sunflower seeds which I'm not supposed to eat & other nuts, mostly almonds, some pistachios, some walnuts...none of which are natural organic. That stuff is waayyy too expensive. RE: What do you all eat? My diet is influenced by www.westonaprice.org , www.mercola.com <http://www.mercola.com/> , and Atkins.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Nevertheless, I, for one, won't touch another soy product with a 10-foot pole now that I've learned how horrible it is for my dis-eases. Re: What do you all eat? Note that 60% of soy produced in the united states is Genetically Modified so this might or might not have an affect. Of course you may not know if the soy your buying is Genetically Engineered because companies are not required to put this information on the label.
