Thanks >Greg Greg: the scale recommended by most is the Tanita (sp?) which has a website to order and also I think is discussed at Walford's website. Search the main list archives and there are many postings on scales. I myself bought a $10 small balance beam scale (like a doctor's office scale but about 1/2 the size, and takes up less room) at a thrift shop when I happened to come across it.

Pete: most who like precision scales use the Tanita scale (can be bought on line - they have a website). i bought a small balance beam (doctor's type) scale when I found one in a thrift store for a pittance. However after 2 years on Cr and a stable weight, i now find I just step on my regular everyday type scale for a quick reading to insure I'm staying on track. Scale and actual weight is less important than calories taken in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 That stuff said, that's my experience, too. Except I also like my balance scales, as well as my Tanita. Here's to slight hunger! May it live for 120 years at least in each of us! Ed S. michael colella wrote: Pete, How can I tell you this. I really mean it. Learn to appreciate hunger and your scale. They are your best freinds. As corny as it sounds it is true!. Mild hunger is the state we are are after, It means you are practicing CR and the scale merely confirms what your body is already telling you. Embrace mild hunger as a physiologically desirable state. That IMO is CR practice in a nutshell. That is not to say you cannot enjoy food and life. In fact, you will enjoy both immeasurrable more so. I often tell my freinds when I was 270 lbs. I was always hungry and now that I am 168 lbs I am always hungry. My own beloved wife, who is quite fat tells me the same thing. She says I am always hungry and yet I am very overweight. If you are a fat person you know this to be true. Regards and best wishes, Mike Colella ----- Original Message ----- From: T.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 If your dad had psoriasis, it's not unlikely that the use of enzymes/improvement of digestion and stress has caused a flare. If you think it might be psoriasis, you could have a biopsy done to confirm it. Check out the National Psoriasis Foundation web site and see if this patch of scaley skin resembles psoriasis. As you surely know, stress can trigger a p flare, as will infection (bacteria/funal/viral), and change in diet. Many p sufferers will find their condition worsens before it improves with diet change and/or addition of suppliments. I was diagnosed with psoriasis almost 2 years ago. I cleared up quick and haven't had another flare, but since I started enzymes, I have found a few new guttate psoriasis spots. Nothing major, thankfully. It could be for any number of reasons, but maybe the use of enzymes and improved digestion has contributed. If I'm experiensing some cleansing as a result of using enzymes, such as yeast die off, that could also be a reason. If you are interested, I can send you a link for a great ayurvedic topical ointment and oil that many, including my 7 year old son, have had success with.

I have taken my enzymes with meals and this has helped my digestion a lot. What I have noticed is that I have a patch of scaly (sp) skin on my back. My dad had Psoriasis and there is no pain unless I press hard with my finger nail. Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
