Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hi this is jack i have been taking about 35 grams of flax oil a day, 50 grams of coconut oil, and about 35 grams of olive oil. I was just wondering if this was too much from the oils. I am trying to increase my fat intake so i think im doing the right thing but it just seems like a lot and i wanted to confirm. also i have some ascorbic acid and was wondering if this was appropriate for me to take as well. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Actually, Flax Oil and/or Flax Seeds are NOT recommended on Bee's program. It's easy for flax oil to go rancid and hard for the body to convert into usuable vitamins. The necessary Omega 3's are aquired through other aspects of the diet. Good fats are Coconut Oil, Butter, Ghee, Butter Oil, Red Palm Oil, lard, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, etc. Check out the files for more fat info. more coconut oil and olive oil would definitely benefit you more. Be careful of using to much olive oil though...some members report that they gain weight using too much olive oil. jackie > > > So would taking more of the coconut and olive oil benefit me more > because need to get the fats from somewhere right? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because omega-3 in fish is high in two fatty acids crucial to human health, which are called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These two fatty acids are essential to health, and also in preventing heart disease, cancer, and many other diseases. EPA and DHA do not require conversion by the body like alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) contained in flaxseed oil. Flaxseed oil is not recommended as a source of omega-3 because it contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) that must be converted in the body to useable forms, which are EPA and DHA (form found in fish oils, and cod liver oil). Most candida sufferer's bodies are incapable of making the conversion to EPA and DHA, therefore they need to take fish oils or cod liver oil and not flaxseed oil. Fish oils (Omega-3) are taken during the summer when enough vitamin D can be obtained from the sun, along with vitamin A, and cod liver oil is taken during the winter, which contains vitamins A and D, and Omega-3. Evening primrose oil and borage oil are recommended by many health practitioners however they contain omega-6 and no omega-3, and the diet contains plenty of omega-6 without taking any extra supplements. " > I am trying to increase my fat intake so i think im doing the right thing but it just seems like a lot and i wanted to confirm. also i have some ascorbic acid and was wondering if this was appropriate for me to take as well. Thanks Jack ==>Jack it apprears as if you haven't read my article yet. Please read it and then get back to us with questions you may after. If you do not remember use your Edit Find function on the top of your Internet Browser when my article is open to find ascorbic acid, which is discussed in my article.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Jack, please don't take to heart some messages posted by other members. The real answers are in our Group's files, particularly in my main article, and from some members who have been around the block with this program. You can increase butter, lard, extra virgin olive oil, chicken fat, goose fat, coconut nut or any natural fats. Also add your fish oil or cod liver oil to your total fat intake, as well as going to www.fitday.com and calculating all of the fats contained in the foods you eat, i.e. eggs, meats, etc. - see A) Candida Diet Folder for how to calculate your ratios and for a handy spreadsheet to calculate them on after you go to fitday - there's sample foods on that spreadsheet too.

To clarify, I take Carlson Fish Oil during the warmer months and the Carlson Cod Liver Oil during the winter months. It's my understanding that since we take in Vitamin D from the sun during the warmer months, then we shouldn't overdose on Vitamin D by also taking Cod Liver Oil. Bee, once the body is clear of Candida overgrowth, can we resume eating the other " healthy " fats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
