Thank you for the info. Yes, I had read that about the potatoes- I cut them

out of my diet immediately. I feel so much better. I got into some hidden

avoids yesterday, and am paying for it today. Wow! I will pay better

attention in the future.

And you can sure tell when they start going away, and the swelling you are aware

of leaves. Was that ever a relief.

I am ABSOLUTELY addicted to salads now! I only use olive oil, fresh

lemon and sea salt - sometimes cracked black pepper. I live in the

middle east and it's very cheap to get Arugula here (I know it's

expensive in the states) and so that is the only lettuce I use -

it's also the greenest and best for you. I put a ton of that in a

big bowl and add fresh cherry tomatoes and avacoado. Then I usually

use about a 1/3 of a fresh lemon(big and juicy one) and then about 1-

2 tsp.s of olive oil. mix it thoroughly. It's awesome and I eat

them like crazy! Just get the right mix and you will love it. If

the dressing is not tasting that good it's probably because you have

too much lemon and not enough salt.

Good luck - a

I normally make a very large salad - 3 or 4 tomatoes, half a cucumber, a

packet of lettuce (mixed), 1 or two avocados. For the salad dressing I

use about 3 - 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and half the juice

of a large lemon. Sometimes I add 1 - 2 tablespoons of organic avocado

oil (yummy in a salad) and reduce the olive oil accordingly. I always

chop up 4 - 5 whole garlic cloves and throw them in the salad - fresh

garlic has done wonders for our health.

The ratio should be about 30 - 40% olive oil to 60 - 70% lemon juice.

Of course, you can play around with it and see what you prefer, I like

to taste the lemon juice. Of course you also need enough salt - we use

sea salt only.

Hope that helps.

Hi Keen!

How much olive oil and lemon juice do you use? Have tried making that

combo in the past, but it didn't taste right. Do you ever add fresh

garlic? I usually just put plain olive oil on. We're going to look for

the one suggested Annie's Lemon and Chive, No Vinegar Dressing

just for a change.

RE: Please critique my diet- thank you!

You shouldn't be eating pre-prepared salad dressings. You should

rather

make your own dressing from olive oil and lemon juice. It's much

healthier and much tastier and you know what you are eating at least.

What is Arugula?

Since I can eat tomato I've also added sugar free tomato juice into my

dressing with the lemon & olive oil for variety. It's delicious.

Arugula is also called Girgir or you may know it as rocket. It's a

type of lettuce leaf and a bit spicy. It's VERY green therefore the

greener the better. Google it and you will find all sorts of info

on it and google image it and you will be able to see what it looks

like. Iceberg lettuce is not even worth eating - it's not green

enough and holds too much water. Romain is better but nothing like

the rocket. Hope you can find some!

Oh, rocket. Yes, I know and like rocket. It is rather expensive here,

so I don't usually eat it alone, but I love to add the organic Italian

rocket to salads, when it's in season.

We buy lettuce packs (someone called it designer leaves) which have 4 or

5 different kinds of lettuce leaves. I haven't eaten iceberg lettuce in

years - horrible stuff! It used to be the only lettuce you could by

here in South Africa for many years. But, since the late 80s we have

had these lettuce packs with a wide variety of different mixtures.

I have wondered for years what arugula is, so thanks for letting me

know.

It can be dangerous even to use sea salt only. A caution on salt,

even sea salt, Himalayan, whatever, it's all salt-salt-salt.

Sodium in salt is a strong potassium depletor, and potassium is

your main alkalinizing mineral. Many diseases, pH and electrolyte

issues result from depleted potassium.

You need five to fifteen times the potassium in your diet (from

all sources) as your sodium intake. For most people with a high

vegetable and very little salt intake it still means maybe three

to five grams, and for every gram of sea salt you use you should

add at least five grams of potassium to your fare.

We use " no-salt " supermarket potassium salts to salt our food,

and haven't touched sea salt for a couple of years now. We get

our trace minerals with a sea-based supplement that is low in

salt.

When you do the keyword searches you'll see how serious the

problem is, and you can check your saliva pH in the AM to see how

you're doing.

Potassium will even help some people lose water weight seen as

edema, provided they cut down on the sea salt.

Hi Keen,

Don't look fo symptoms of potasium depletion; they are erious and

potentially life-threatening.

Consider instead, chronically low levels; most of the diseases

caused by low potassium are due to a chronic condition. You're

doing something; I just hope it's enough :)

I think Himalayan salt has sodium in it, so I won't use it.

Try grating 1 clove raw garlic and mix with olive oil. Yummm

Or you could use olive oil and lemon juice. Try adding a tiny pinch of

sea salt.

I like a salad of lightly steamed broccoli, finely chopped onion to

taste and olive oil /raw garlic dressing.

There's a number of salad dressing recipes on Bee's

website:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/menu1_7.php

It's always a good idea to check there first as it has

tons of info and most likely will be able to answer

your questions with no waiting for a response on here.

I sometimes see questions about different brands of salad dressing, but here is one you can make that is gluten free, or you drive to Santa Barbara, CA and enjoy Lazy Acre's authentic version. If you want to save gasoline, you might want to give this one a try this one: Click the link http://tinyurl.com/2vdggw (or http://home.comcast.net/~vhdolcourt/gfbaking ) and migrate down the page to <NEW> in bold red letters.How would you describe the flavor - We say: somewhat sweet, somewhat tangy, hearty, and a little spicy. This is a bit like the miso salad dressing in Japanese restaurants.Enjoy!Vic-Sunnyvale, CA
