Diatebes Carbs Hep C -

[Guest guest]

Hi

Im with you about diet.

I am a firm believer that we could probably eliminate 99% of our health issues if we would just eat a healthy diet.

And maybe even combat the other 1% too, if our body and immune system were strong enough.

I still dont eat right, but I am learning and adjusting my body as I can.

Its hard to change 60 years of the garbage habit overnight, but the changes are happening.

My biggest handup is chocolate cake.

God that stuff is good. LOL :-)

Its my one big sin.

I do believe that 'some' animal protein is useful to our body, because we are animals, not plants.

I tried the pure vegan diet plan for a couple of years, and I ended up sick.

But I have also eaten the meat and potatoes diet, and ended up ill.

Like you, I fall somewhere in the middle now.

It would be really nice if someone one day would post the 'perfect human diet', but I guess alot more experimenting is needed first before that happens.

I know that the 'PHD' wouldnt help most of us a great deal because there has been too much water under the bridge, so to speak, but it would be interesting to see a newborn child raised on it.

Hey if you have any 'diet' links, please post them so we can all check them out.

I have bunches in the Links Library, but there is room for still more.

Nothing like a discussion of diet in an hcv forum to bring out the lurkers, lol.I've been following this thread with great interest. I believe that diet is one of the most important factors in health. This is especially true for people with hcv as the liver is usually the first organ to deal with what we eat. I have cirrhosis and that means my liver function is greatly reduced...so it's even more important to eat the right things.I am conflicted about the low carb diets (and I don't dispute the science) for only one reason: The China Study. There is a war of philosophy going on between the experts of both the vegan camp and the low carb camp. The China study folks believe that only a low protein diet (read high carbs) will keep them cancer free. They have the science on their side as well (including the longest and largest nutritional study ever done). The bottom line for them...the more animal protein....the more

cancer.So what do I do? I place myself in the middle. I eat a moderate amount of animal protein (and it's all grass-fed and finished as well as organic), a moderate amount of whole-grain gluten-free carbs, and as many organic veggies as I can. I'm also sugar free.As for fats....Thanks to my naturopath I've discovered organic unrefined virgin coconut oil. There's a lot of research that shows that this miracle oil which is full of medium-chain triglycerides is super good for the immune system, provides energy throughout the day, and doesn't end up being stored as fat by the body. The more of this stuff I eat, the more weight I lose!There's even a group like this one devoted entirely to coconut oil. Coconut Oil/ I also eat as much organic virgin olive oil as I can.

All the best to everyone and especially good thoughts to those of you on treatment. McGovern>> Ramona...lol; if only all it took were big balls!> Perhaps cavalier was the wrong word to choose.....They are following strict AMA guidelines and the recommendations of the American Diabetes Assoc. They are not doing anything illegal or dishonest. They truly believe that their way is the proper way for diabetes to be treated. And they have research and big Pharma on their side. . I suspect I at least, would be much better off with an independent nutritionist who is openminded and open to complementary and alternative medicine.> Sherry> > > > > Hey,> I guess my balls are too big for my own good. If anyone, that I'm paying to provide me a service, is cavalier; I would let them know that I

don't appreciate their attitude. I would also file a complaint if it continued. CEOs of hospital are concerned about community impressions of their institution. It is their paycheck. Financial donors don't like bad PR. For all of us, we need to continue to educate ourselves and keep medical professionals on their toes. It is their jobs to take care of us not the other way around.> This could also be a professional opportunity for anyone seeking a new career.> Ramona>
