The Warrior Diet

[Guest guest]

Thanks

But I wanted to know *why* magnesium helps to stabilize blood sugar and

*why* glutamine increases HGH. I guess I have some research to do! =)

I take magnesium in two different pills, one of those coral calcium things

to replace the minerals not in my filtered water, and one in a calcium,

magnesium, zinc form for muscle cramps etc. I know I am deficient in

zinc and have been told by my endocrinologist many times... ok scolded

for not doing it, to take plenty of zinc supplements. I have Hashimotos

and have those lovely small lines on my fingers which is supposed to

indicate a lack of zinc?? He always looks though I never say a word

about it. I hate swallowing pills. However, I do have a bit of a

hypoglycemic reaction still, though it is probably 1/100th of what it used to

be and I'm curious about taking these two supplements to help fix that...

and why it would work.

Anyone have a type of Zinc that is more efficient to take? I thought about

using those cold-eze daily but I think they are are full of other junk! =)

There is no reason to shoot for a lower blood sugar result, this is a

perfectly normal number. You multiply the 5.3 by 18 to get the

numbers that are used in the U.S., so you would get approximately

95. Normal blood sugar ranges from 60 to 140 (about 3.5 to 7.8),

depending on how long it has been since you ate. A fasting (before

breakfast) result of higher than 115 (6.3) indicates possible

beginnings of diabetes. As long as you test within the range, lower

is not better. Ann

Thanks, Ann. I wasn't aware of the conversion factor either, I thought

the numbers meant different things.

Cheers,

Hi, ,

I learned from the Compuserve Diabetes Forum (they have a LOT of

information) about the conversion. The British folks on the forum

and maybe also Canadians?) use the smaller numbers, which are mmol,

while the U.S. folks are using mg/dl (don't ask me what they mean, I

have forgotten!), but 18 is the conversion factor. I don't know

where you are located, but I believe all the glucose meters now are

capable of either measurement -- your manual should tell you how to

change the measurement your meter uses if you want to do that.

as a certifiable gym rat and one who has worked with

bodybuilders and humans, I'm here to tell you that bodybuilding as a

practice, culture and phenomenon is most definitely in a class all by

itself. ;-0

The " Warrior Style " CR diet is the one I follow, which means

eating only once a day. This style saves time (no eating,

no food prep, no cleanup). It is a very simple plan.

Once you adjust to this dietary style, there is no hunger.

There are no feelings of deprivation. Just happy emotions.

After the initial adjustment period, your energy level actually

improves and you alertness increases too. One great result:

there are no temptations during the day. No self control

is needed. Just the decision to eat a planned meal in the

evening time.

The evening meal (for me) is CR soup (made once or twice

a week and warmed up), along with veggies and toppings.

I have posted past messages about my favorite 50 CR veggies

and toppings, my favorite CR fruits, and the recipe for the

basic CR soup. These are tasty, inexpensive, quick, and

widely available.

Has anyone tried to combine CRON with the warrior diet style of

eating? If you don't know, the warrior diet is basically

undereating during the day (or water fasting) and eating a very

large meal during the evening. Basically eating once a day with

light snacking of fruit/ vegetables during the day. I've been

experimenting with the warrior diet for about 2 weeks and it's

pretty satisfying.
