Re: weight loss and juicing

Christoph, I did 3 days on your suggestions and needed to quit. Having no oil/avocado had me hungry all the time! It felt like i could never be satisfied. Once i resumed some avocado earlier in the day, I felt more grounded and nourished again. i didn't give it much time, but i needed to feel calmer...

Re: Candida and energy

Emeira, I'm trying fruit and yolks/fish and no oil because of candida related issues. I know I'm changing my tune. But it's all a big experiment. I'm giving Christoph's idea one week, if i make it haha but i have over 1/2 a day down. And if I feel worse, I will go right back to what i was doing and ...

Re: weight loss and juicing

Christoph, I'm on it. I started your suggestions today and will go for a week. My blood sugar was fine doing that this morning. I just need to be careful with honey and dates. If it works like you say, then I'll be dealing better with those once my system has cleared left over oils out. I can't wait...

Re: Emeira's Diary

I would eat one bite and poke around on the rest. If it's not a sit down meal, I would maybe toss it in the trash when nobody i looking. But if somebody is annoying me, pushing me, I would punch them in the face :twisted: no cannot do that. But I'm no pushover. The problem is your history. Just take...

Re: Emeira's Diary

I know honey, let's keep doing our best to become more and more in touch and therefore better "guardians" of our bodies. Nobody is perfect and we struggle with this area. it's about the good intentions not about getting it right all the time!

Re: weight loss and juicing

RRM, excellent suggestion! I will wait til my sugar is in the 90s and try sipping juice 1/4 c at a time and see what happens. that way i can get an idea how much is the quantity that maintains a good feeling = blood sugar in the 90s all day! And I learn to make a connection with my body's messages w...

Re: weight loss and juicing

you could be right. but the avocado sure didn't keep my blood sugar from coming down.
it was dried dates from an excellent source. biodynamic, untreated, organic. it's easy for me to run into trouble with dates and honey. maybe it's best i avoid them...

Re: weight loss and juicing

my blood sugar went down to 120 from 193 within 25 min. of eating 60 g avocado and some raw butter! And I'm feeling more normal. so it's not the fat that keeps my blood sugar high. AVOCADO I LOVE YOU :P I just need to be VERY careful how much sugar I ingest. The 3 bananas/oil/yolks/ honey mix i post...

Re: weight loss and juicing

I soaked 70 g of dates last night and drank the water+ ate the dates this am. I wanted to see if my blood sugar was ok without fat. And it wasn't. It went up to 193. Then I ate a small avocado an hour later right after measuring the high blood sugar to see what happens. Avocado actually lowered my s...

Re: Candida and energy

Yes, for sure!
It sucks! I will try Christoph's idea and see if my scalp improves. I'm having a bit of an issue with that, too.

Re: weight loss and juicing

Dime, Christoph's experience is of GREAT value.I am most interested in real experiences by different people with a range of challenges. When I tried to sip orange juice with olive oil a long time ago, I got rashes and all kinds of problems. Why am I back? Because I had one result I have not had with...

Re: weight loss and juicing

The twin gear juicer is good but it cannot make banana/pear juice. i do run it through with a certain part so it just gets pressed into a mush and then i pour it into a nutmilk bag and squeeze the juice out. it's more work but that way i don't have to buy a new juicer$$$ Very interesting about the n...

Re: Candida and energy

I wonder how much grape juice and honey summerwave ate while ridding herself of candida. it seems like she had very little, i'm guessing 2-3 tablespoons of honey diluted in water and maybe 1 c. grape juice heavily diluted. she also ate lots of fat and protein. And she did say it was a success. Corin...
