Do you think that I can try your program? +++Hi , Welcome to our group. Eggs and butter are very healthy, so how could anyone overeat them and cause themselves any problems? In fact animal meats, eggs and fats are the most important nutrients for Human health - see this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/price1.php The fact IS that the whole cholesterol theory is totally false, so please read about my program, which includes information on cholesterol so you too can get healthy like many others on this program. Heart disease and cancer were very rare prior to industrialization of our food and the medical industry using drugs to treat people in 1909. Now all of the information about what is bad for health comes from the medical industry who are trying to make money! Please ensure you read two important articles so you know what you need to do and why: How to Successfully Overcome Candida: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php Curing Candida, How to Get Started: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php For encouragement and inspiration see these 202 wonderful Success Stories by members of this group: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/success/index.php After reading get back to us with questions. The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Dear , I've found that I only want to overeat carbohydrates. I used to stuff myself on sweets, fruit, rice, etc, but I don't have that same desire eating meat, fat, and non-starchy veggies. Good luck, > > > > > > > > > > Hi group, I have been a compulsive overeater since I was 18 yo (now I am > 37).

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Dear Cath, I seem to digest cauliflower and tomatoes the best, but I also eat peppers and onion. But just stay within your carb allotment and choose veggies from Bee's allowed food list. As for meats, I eat both fatty and lean. The ground beef I get is pretty lean, but the pork roast I often eat is fatty. Entering your foods on fitday.com will help you to meet your nutrient ratios, i.e. if you're eating lean meat, you may have to eat more fat that day. For fats, I eat coconut oil, butter, and lard. Be sure to carefully read the articles Bee sent you.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi - I would echo . I too had compulsions to eat carbs - sometimes when out I would buy a chocolate bar knowing that if I ate it I would feel sick - so I would eat it and feel sick! The only thing that stopped me was when my digestion finally collapsed and I couldn't cope with the carbs any more. Since then I have realised the damage that these things are doing to everybody and that has made a big difference. I no longer feel deprived - well just a little bit, occasionally, when my daughter has baked yet another of her delicious gluten-free cakes, but certainly not all the time. What I and a lot of others have found is that within a short time - for some people just a few days, others take maybe two or three weeks, on a very low-carb diet, you lose the cravings. It's hard going until it's passed, but it is only temporary and you can get through it. In fact, if you are very disciplined with it and keep your carbs low enough to be in Ketosis (fat-burning mode) all the time, you don't even get hungry like you do on the carbs. In his book 'Life without bread', Dr Wolfgang Lutz mentions that overconsumption of carbs - and particularly processed carbs, upsets the digestive signalling mechanisms and instead of only producing stomach acid when one is eating, can also produce it when it is empty. I suspect that what we interpret as hunger is not hunger at all, but the stomach telling us it is full of acid and needs food to digest. Acid in the stomach without any food could lead to stomach ulcers and other damage, so because there is acid there all the time, people eat all the time! It seems that after some time on the low-carb regime, the signalling reverts to normal and what we interpret as those gut-wrenching hunger pangs go away. So no, there is no reason why you couldn't follow Bee's diet. It takes a bit of getting your head around, but there are many of us here to help and support you and we are all benefiting from it in many different ways.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi Lorna, I wanted to comment on your topic, I was in OA and AA for 10 years. I have successfully left both programs. I have a candida problem in my humble opinion. It would make my cravings for sugar and alcohol unbearable. I would pray and go to meetings and I COULD NOT stop from putting those harmful substances in my body. Can you believe today it is not an issue? I have been on Bee's program just over a year and I feel so much better. I eat FAT and lots of it and I no longer crave sugar. I follow Bee's diet to the letter. I do best with my cravings when I eat carbs (allowed vegetables) minimally. I can feel my body wanting to overeat them sometimes, but it is totally controllable. I mostly eat her fat/meat program. I take all her recommended supplements and occasionally use the coffee enemas to help my body when it is going through a tough healing cycle. It did not take long for me on this program for my cravings to go away although it has taken a while for my other symptoms to go (vaginal infections, headaches, digestive issues...)

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I also have a theory - and it is just a theory, that in those who overeat, what the body is demanding is nutrition. It's saying it needs vitamins, minerals and trace elements, but sadly all people give it is mostly calories. If you look at the diet of those very obese people who can't stop eating, their diet consists of little other than carbs. Maybe sometimes it becomes 'numb' as far as nutrition supply is concerned when it gets to a certain point, and it takes the change in diet to switch the demand back on? Maybe, now you are giving it the nutrition it needs it is clamouring for all it can get its hands on?!!! I don't know - can't really answer that one. I do think that the opposite applies generally - that it is the carbs that drive the hunger signals. You didn't say how long you've been on the diet. Bee reckons it can take around four months to change properly over to ketosis when you are fully on the diet, although the carb craving is usually gone within the first couple of weeks or so.
