Guest guest Posted September 21, 1999 Report Share Posted September 21, 1999 Hi - its a super blender basically. Instead of juicing you use the whole foods. I have a juicer too but mainly use the vita-mix. The vita-mix liquifies well. Makes wonderful fruit shakes and I use it to make my version of ice cream. You put a couple of frozen bananas - some frozen peaches and pineapple juice to about halfway up. The consistency is like ice cream and its creamy because of the bananas. MMM. I do eat fruit after noon in the evening sometimes for a snack (at least a couple of hours after I have eaten dinner). But its breakfast. I have the Fit for Life cookbook and she gives some alternatives for colder weather or when you need more energy but you don't lost weight on the alternatives.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 1999 Report Share Posted September 21, 1999 I am not real overweight - right now could stand 5-10 lbs. but haven't been following my own advice strictly. I was on Elavil for a couple of years and then couldn't drop it. When I got off Elavil (took me a year) I started eating fruit in the morning and did drop about 10 lbs. I am also Hypothyroid - borderline but enough they wanted me on synthroid a while back. Started taking this stuff called T-100 (natural) and I got to normal. Now I am starting this stuff known to cleanse the glands and eliminative organs. Kelp is real important for us too. And there are, of course, the avoid veggies that mess with our thyroids (O types).

Guest guest Posted September 21, 1999 Report Share Posted September 21, 1999 thanks Jeanie, I thought it was a powdered drink of some kind! I just started on this, so I am learning. That does sound good! Have you lost much weight? If you have, have you had a problem with the pounds not budging before this?

Guest guest Posted September 21, 1999 Report Share Posted September 21, 1999 Sorry, If I am bothering you, but what is T-100 and where do you purchase it. Are the veggies in this diet the same ones to avoid with thyroid problems? Also, (and I promise this is the last question for now!) with the breads, manna and the others mentioned, where in the world do you get those? >From: " jverner " <jverner@...> >Reply-onelist ><onelist> >Subject: Re: Weight loss >Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 10:11:24 -0700 > >From: " jverner " <jverner@...> > >I am not real overweight - right now could stand 5-10 lbs. but haven't been >following my own advice strictly.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 1999 Report Share Posted September 21, 1999 T-100 is just a health supplement with ingredients that nourish and help build the thyroid back to health. There is no particular diet I am talking about other than the O diet. Just eating fruit in the morning. I get my T-100 through Latter-Day Family Resources at www.ldfr.com (if thats not right let me know). There are other types of formulas - I just know this one worked for me.

I'm going to throw in a dissenting voice on the whole reducing fat intake to lose weight. It's taken me about 3 years total to lose 30 lbs., and since ER4YT about 4 months ago helped me lose almost 10 of those 30 lbs. And for me it meant cutting down on the carbs, not the fat. It is high insulin levels that cause the body to store fat more than the fat in one's diet. A good book for that info. is Protein Power, which is what got me started 3 years ago. I am eating a bit more carbs on the ER diet than I did (HB ones like sweet potatoes), but overall for me that is the key to keeping the weight off. And yes, exercise helps a lot too. I got a Pilates Performer a year ago from QVC, and love what it's done for my figure -- the 'saddlebags' went away pretty quickly, even though I was 10-15 lbs. heavier when I started using it. I'll get off my soapbox now. :-) Cia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 I agree on the reducing carbs. Dr. D'Adamo is very clear on that as he is on not eating carbs like rice with proteins like meat, poultry or fish if you want to lose. I found I compensated at first for the carbs and proteins by eating fatty things like pumpkin seeds. Until I quite doing that I didn't start losing. I certainly didn't go down to as low fat as I had eaten while on macrobiotics. If you eat animal protein like meat, fish, poultry and eggs, you'll be consuming fat.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 What you mentioned about not eating carbs with meat is another food combining principle from " natural hygeine " whcih Fit for Life teaches about. You don't digest as well with that combination. Perhaps if when you do eat the ok carbs you eat them separate from animal proteins it will make a difference too.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 <So no sweet potatoes with chicken for example? veggies with chicken or fish? please explain.> , It is ok to eat the low glycemic carb foods with your meat. Just be careful of the sweet potatoes, squash, carrots...etc. No Ezekial bread either with the meat. And absolutely no fruit. I guess a good rule of thumb is to eat the dark green and green leafy veggies with the meat. Let's see what the rest of the group says. I find that I lose weight easier if I stay off the high glycemic veggies and all fruits for a period of time and then eat them for just a day or two and then stay off of them again. That is supposed to re-set your metabolism. Seems to work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 this is a whole new thing to me about high glycemics and low glycemic veggies. i will do the green stuff and no fruit for a while and see how it goes. robin RE: Weight Loss >From: " Kennedy " <skennedy@...> > > ><So no sweet potatoes with chicken for example? veggies with chicken or >fish? >please explain.> > > >, > >It is ok to eat the low glycemic carb foods with your meat.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 Basically no starches ( which does include sweet potatoes) with proteins. I do eat protein with my ezekial bread and it seems to agree better than maybe spelt (unsprouted) would. I have experimented and do notice a big difference with how I digest.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 i can't eat the spelt bread. acts the same with me as wheat flour. does the Ezekial bread have wheat? i have noticed that i can't eat cornbread either. i tried...duh...no corn right? boy corn does a real number on me for a couple days and its amazing how i never put 2 and 2 together all these years. robin Re: Weight Loss >From: " jverner " <jverner@...> > >Basically no starches ( which does include sweet potatoes) with proteins.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 Maybe not sweet potatoes with chicken. When the book talks about carbs in connection with not eating it with animal protein, it's talking more about grains like rice, quinoa, bread. I guess you get to have a veggies and carbs meal or a veggies and protein meal. Have I got that right?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2000 Report Share Posted January 6, 2000 ok what do you all eat to lost weight? can you give a sample menu? can't eat fruit with protein, can't eat certain veggies with protein, it seems that with all these don'ts there aren't a lot of ok's. Between the blood type diet, and all of these other things, I'll starve. Can't eat much starches/carbs. Also I have read that with thyroid problems shouldn't over do it on the meats. My weight is focused on my stomach and face. legs and arms are fine. With the mayo diet. How does this work with the ER4YT? Can't have eggs (at least not everyday), can't have citrus (grapefruit), can't have pork (bacon and sausage), please explain. Has anyone lost weight on this? I am desperate to get this weight off, its very upsetting. I want to eat right and not necessarily go on a diet, but I am completely confused. >From: " Kennedy " <skennedy@...> >Reply-onelist ><onelist> >Subject: RE: Weight Loss >Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2000 16:15:09 -0600 > >From: " Kennedy " <skennedy@...> > > ><So no sweet potatoes with chicken for example? veggies with chicken or >fish? >please explain.> > > >, > >It is ok to eat the low glycemic carb foods with your meat.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2000 Report Share Posted January 6, 2000 Grapefruit juice is neutral. Those of us on the diet substitute the pork bacon with turkey or beef bacon. If you have the 12dd, this works well with the type O diet. Just eat the foods that are also on the type O diet...I have them yellowed on my sheet. I have lost l9 lbs since thanksgiving... hoping for 5 more by the llth, will let you know how I do.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2000 Report Share Posted January 6, 2000 I eat a lot of fish currently, for lunch and dinner. Where I work, you can heat up cooked food in the microwave, so I cook extra in the evening and bring some for lunch the next day. I took a quick tip from The Zone which recommends eating twice as much vegetable (of the low glycemic variety) with the protein, whether meat or, more often for me these days, fish. I actually am on the lookout for more low fat fish cooking ideas. This one third and thwo thirds idea is easy for me to visualize and use. The vegetables include, winter squash like butternut, sweet mama, kabocha--all of which I love madly just plain, baked. ...broccoli, kale, spinach, collard...carrots, parsnips, occasionally rutabaga, even less often turnips....asparagus...celery and daikon radish (helps break down and get rid of fat) either raw, grated or cooked....seaweed (a big boost to metabolism and a happy intestinal system...including wakame, hijiki, arame, kale, kombu, and nori)...tomatoes, red peppers, parsley, cilantro, basil, bay, onions, garlic, and salad mixes including a variety of lettuces, beet greens, dandelion greens, spinach and other neat stuff. Once in a while (as in once a week), I'll have a sweet potato and think it's really some kind of celebration...or have some rice and veggies instead of fish and veggies. I try to cook the veggies without oil....not always but limit the sauteing to 3 times a week. I learned some recipes from macrobiotics. I can post some if anybody is interested. For breakfast I alternate between a crunchy rice cereal with soy milk or almond milk, or one boiled egg with spelt toast and fruit, or spelt toast with scrambled eggs or an omelet with some favorite ingredients made using Egg Beaters or egg whites with my own spices added (turmeric, cumin, onion powder). I've gotten into using the All-fruit spreads on the toast instead of butter. If I want a buttery spread I use Take Control or Olio (made with olive oil). I carry snacks around so I don't give in to all those tempting goodies in The World. Usually the snacks are fresh or dried fruit. A little ziploc bag with mostly raisins and a few sunflower seeds will keep me honest if my commute home drags on beyond the usual. I've gotten fond of those cool ethnic spice mixes. They can be a little pricey but a few shakes of, say, Mexican seasoning, can add a dash to a meal which may have been less inspired than I'd like.

" Pilates > Performer? " How does it work? Hi Barbara (and others). The Pilates Performer is an exercise machine, with different levels of resistance depending on what you're doing. It's kind of hard to explain the setup, but you could head over to QVC's website and do a search. Just enter " Pilates " , there are also some tapes you can get besides the basic one that comes with it. I also have the lower body workout tape, and the intermediate level one. Turns out that a lot of the intermediate level ones require some additional equipment that I don't have, and won't be getting until I have a place with more room. At any rate, instead of some exercise regimes that make one more 'bulky', this helps you strengthen and get leaner. I know that D'Adamo says that O's should go for more strenuous exercise, this fits for me; though it's not very strenuous. I only do about 15 mins/day; about 4-5 days a week. And I feel great when I get done! In addition to helping slim my butt & thighs, my arms are also much stronger and overall I don't feel so 'creaky' anymore. So to get to the QVC web-site, just go to http://www.qvc.com. They also sometimes show it on the qvc station -- you'd have to check the schedule. The performer costs about $400, but they usually have it on 'easy pay' and you can split it up over 4 months, which is what I did. Lastly -- I did my after-holiday weight yesterday and I'd gained 4-5 lbs. yuk! Probably all those darn chocolates I ate.. so it'll be heavy on the meat & veggies for me over the next couple of weeks!
