Good fats are the very best source of energy. Weight is the least of your problems at the moment Emma. Get the nutrients you need first and worry about weight later on when you feel better. I lost a lot of weight last year too, but now I'm back up to my fat sassy self. lol! When you don't know what to eat have the raw egg drink. Sorry I'm short on time this morning. ==>Note: I do not recommend ThreeLac - see the article in the files. The best to you, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 > Question: Why does the egg drink or any eggs, cooked or raw, cause me to be > so tired & sleepy? Is it allergies? Probably. Like you, I usually get sleepy after meals (probably because I have so many allergies), but egg allergy is one of my worst sensitivities. I once had my egg allergy treated with NAET; it didn't work. When I resume eating eggs, I had a harder time staying awake at work. I would pass out around 7 pm after I got home, wake up at midnight, and then not be able to get to sleep again until dawn. I also felt very weak and spaced out. Weird times. After I started avoiding eggs again, the problems stopped. Cheers, -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 It's probably the butter. Butter makes me sleepy.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Caroline -- I can think of three different reasons why a person in a group like this one would get sleepier after eating. Aside from the regular " I ate too much " business, I mean. Allergy. ...... If true, an egg eaten by itself, with nothing added, would cause the same reaction every time. Any egg, regardless of the farm it came from, and regardless of whether it's certified organic or not. Anti-fungal taken in/with food. ...... Is the sleepiness really just due to the candida-fighting properties of the coconut oil? You know, the flu-like symptoms of the Herxheimer Reaction? Blood sugar has dropped. ...... I mention this one because I'm hypoglycemic -- if I eat nothing but protein first in a meal -- or if the protein count is higher than I can stand in relation to the carb count -- my blood sugar will continue to drop. Perhaps you can test this theory on yourself, and eat some other kind of all-protein food sometime, and see if you get really sleepy afterward just as what happens when you eat nothing but eggs? The butter and/or coconut oil, too -- have you tried taking either of them by themselves sometime, to see if you get that same sleepiness reaction? Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I was looking at the recipe for the raw egg drink which calls for 3 raw large whole eggs. Then I remembered that on the Food List for Candida it says, " Raw egg yolks are unlimited, but only have 1 raw egg white per day. (It contains enzymes that block protein digestion). Help me out here, I am confused by the two different statements. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me > out here, I am confused by the two different statements. ==>The reason for the two different statements is because I've waffled about whether having all whole raw eggs is okay. An Orthmolecular Physician I know thinks there is no problem at all having whole raw eggs, but Sally Fallon writes that there are enzymes in egg whites that block protein digestion. I've tended to believe the OP so I always have all whole raw eggs. Did our ancestors or do animals worry about stopping to remove egg whites? I don't think so. Dr. Mercola has even changed his thinking about raw egg whites so I think they are okay. You can do a search and find his most recent article on it at www.mercola.com.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hi Faith: I just tried the raw egg drink for the first time last night and really liked it. I've been thinking about the conflict about raw vs. cooked egg whites and their digestibility. It seems that this drink is not purely raw as it is made with boiling water. The eggs are basically cooked in the blender. At least that's how I made it and it worked well. It was reminiscent of Mexican hot cocoa (but without the cocoa of course).

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I can't drink it hot and I l ike to leave my blender in the fridge over night and reblend in the morning. Try it cold next time. It is very filling and the coconut oil doesn't separate when I use butter. Jeanne otn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I was wondering how this drink would do cold. So if you make it the night before and put it in the fridge, it's good the next morning? ***** I love it cold. I put a little nutmeg in mine or sometimes cinnamon and stevia. The butter keeps the coconut oil from separating or getting hard. I just put the whole blender in the fridge and then take it out and reblend it. It gets really thick or frothy. It is filling too. I drink part of it while I am getting ready for work and then take the rest of it in a container for work. Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's MUCH better cold than hot. I find I can't drink all of it at once, so I have a little and put the rest in a thermos to take to work. I like to put cayenne pepper in mine. You can also flavor it by using tea instead of water. Mint is good, as well as cinnamon, clove and ginger.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hey Jeanne OTS! I never thought of using tea. That sounds like a fabulous idea. Do you put butter and coconut oil in yours or just CO? Jeanne otn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 > > I think the cinnamon has finally caught up with me. I am having an Ankylosing Spondylitis flare due to the build up of starch from the spice in the raw egg drink, after consuming it for a number of days now. I was affraid of this, hoping I would be able to tolerate, even only adding 1/2 the amount the recipe calls for, but it looks like its not gonna work. ==>Ankylosing Spondylitis is a form of arthritis which is located mainly in the spine, and I trully believe that all arthritis is a build-up of toxins, therefore you will get flare-up symptoms when you give your body what it needs to heal and detoxify - see these articles on arthritis: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu4_3_1.php ==>Cinnamon is antifungal so it could cause die-off symptoms, which creates more toxins for your body to get rid of. Since your weakness is the spine the toxins will increase symptoms in that area first. Take epsom salt baths, do dry skin brushing or jump rope or rebound on a mini-trampoline, and also do coffee enemas, the electrolyte drink and other things to help your body get rid of toxins. > > Any suggestions of what I might be able to add? I don't think any spices will be tolerated. What about pure extracts? Vanilla? Are these allowed on the candida diet? I doubt, because of the alcohol. But I have some homemade vanilla extract that I made by infusing vodka with vanilla beans. Any chance I could use that? Or maybe fresh spearmint? That is abundent in the garden right now. I hope I can find something because I don't want to give up this drink. > I guess I will try without the spices and see how that tastes for now. Let me know if you have any ideas. ==>Jeanne, there would so little alcohol contained in your homemade vanilla it would be okay. Spearmint would be okay too, or stevia (the real ground leaf, which is green, is best). The best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
