Reasons to not have coffee and food sensitivities

[Guest guest]

Hi Tom,

Good to hear from you again. Your comments are duely noted. I had not

had coffee for three days and went to get an herbal tea at the rink as I was

20 minutes early to give a lesson and wanted a hot prop to entertain myself

with.

Well, I didn't notice that the tea had black tea, meaning contained

caffeine, and I got stomach cramps.

I decided to not drink coffee because so many people have told me that it

was not good for me, including D'Adamo and his partner Dr.

Bier.

My adrenals must have been affected because for the amount of exercise I put

my body through I was feeling more fatigued than I should be.

I actually feel that I have a large amounts of meats and vegetables to

choose from and with occasional pieces of cheese along with a huge amounts

of supplements, I am not too restrictive yet.

As far as developing sensitivities, the interesting part is that the foods

that I am allergic to, with the exception of soy, I hardly ever ate.

The foods that I have eaten tons of during my life, I show no reaction to.

Another theory is that one will develop allergies and/or leaky gut it they

eat just before exercising. I worked in a brewery for 10 years and did a

lot of hard labor and had no choice but to always work hard right after

eating and I never took the food to work in my lunch bucket that I am

allergic to, with the exception of having soy before long racquetball games.

So the way I figure it, I probably won't develop any more sensitivities.

I also know that I can rotate foods that I am sensitive to in occationally,

which I do. For example I occasionally have a glass of chocolate soy milk

which I buy for my husband. I don't seem to have any ill effect.

But I hear what you are saying about being too restrictive. So I will try

to keep things in moderation!
