started introducing the recommended carbs ie saurkraut, herbs, low starch veg

etc. I have been eating this way for two years, but I have decided not to allow

my carbs to go above 15g.

around 52g of carbs per day and still be healthy, I myself have chosen to keep

my carbs very low, not much higher than zero carbs. The reason I have chosen to

do this is that when my carbs are this low my health is significantly better,

and although I do experience healing reactions they are very mild when I eat low

carb like this.

> In the past I have gone higher, and although I was still OK, my healing

reactions were more severe. I have concluded from this that my body actually

prefers me to be in ketosis and eating very few carbs and when I do do this my

body rewards me by healing in a more gentle manner. At least this is how it

appears to me, and this is why I am sticking with the very low carbs, even

though on this programme I could eat significantly more carbs than I do.

> If my body is happy and it is healing well I see no point in eating more of

the foods that only help a little, like the carbs, and prefer to eat the foods

that are helping a lot, ie the protein and fat. In time I may raise my carb

level, but I do not think it will be soon. I like healing at a steady rate, and

when I am in  ketosis I always have a warm content feeling, a knowing feeling,

telling me that everything is moving in the right direction and that everything

is going to be OK.

+++Thank you Joanne! That's terrific and perfect timing in response to the

claim that The Optimal Diet is dangerous. I needed the back-up from you and

others. It was disconcerting to read how many things people can get so very

wrong in one article.

May I please post your message in our Success Stories so others can learn how

important meats, eggs, high-fats and low-carbs are for their health?

Lotsa Hugs, Bee
