Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 In 2000 our, then, 35 year old son came home for a year to get his act together and get on with his life. During the first 4-5 months of his stay he and I went on an egg binge. My hubby ate two eggs every day. Our son and I put away four to six eggs a day, every day. At the beginning my thighs and upper legs were rough and bumpy under the skin. Since then my legs are as smooth as anything. I know women younger than I (67) who would kill for legs as smooth as mine, but they are not willing to take the "egg challenge." Judith Alta Suzanne wrote: The Skin Test This is a very simple test to be done while you're adjusting your diet to ensure that you're getting plenty of skin food (oils, A, E, B's, C, zinc, essential aminos, gelatin/collagen). Simply feel the back of your upper arms. The skin above your elbow should be smooth and moist. If there are bumps, dryness, then you're not getting enough oils. Drink the protein shake with extra eggs, take in coconut oil, use butter and olive oil as liberally as you can digest. Then pinch a bit of skin on the top of your hand, pull it up and release. Check the elasticity. It should spring back and leave no mark. Compare with other people of various ages to get an idea as to how elastic your skin really is. If the skin seems slow to return to its original shape or leaves a mark, you may be deficient in collagen, gelatin, E, C, B's. Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Interesting! When I start craving eggs, I assume it is the iron. The skin on my thighs is not exactly ...silky...!
