Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 ah, May (and othes) it must be SO hard not to be able to drive! and also, that sometimes having the times that 'disappear' I guess there are lots of kinds of seizures? They thought I had 'temporal lobe epilepsy' at one point. Apparently I 'lost time' as my very nice boss would tell me to move around papers if I couldn't work -- and I had no idea that I didn't work all the time.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Newbie Hi everyone, my name is Louise Fox. I have been raising dairy goats for 10 years,mostly nubians. And now I have a Jersey that will be giving birth in Nov. I have enjoyed the pleasure of raw milk products off and on since I was a little girl. We had fresh Cow's milk and butter, and now that I have goats, I learned how to make a few simple cheeses, and soap plus the milk is wonderful.

Yes, , this can be normal, the reason being (I suspect), that your brew was probably still on the sweet side when you bottled it. Thus, the remaining sugar (actually broken into sub-sugars by then) will continue to feed the Kombucha bacteria and yeasts in the liquid). As this fermentation is anaerobic (without air), there can be an alcohol build-up (which would otherwise dissipate into the air in an aerobic fermentation. If you don't want the alcoholic effect, you should bottle when the brew is more acidic, or not bottle at all. The fizz is not a necessary health-ingredient! ;-) After having said all this, the buzz-effect may not be due to alcohol at all. The KT does seem to affect folk like that and sometimes give them a buzz which can be taken mistakenly for inebriation. Personally I should not worry. Drink a little less to start with and make sure you have a good water/tea intake as well. The body may need a little time to adjust to this new star on your food horizon.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks Margaret, I'm up in Sheffield. I think you may be right about the inebriation. I felt a bit weird after taking it yesterday and may just need to take it easy at first. If it was alcoholic I don't normally drink much so it doesn't take much to get me giddy anyway. Will make sure my next batch goes on a bit longer. All interesting stuff though. BW's Chrisitine On 16 Feb 2010, at 21:45, Margret Pegg wrote: > In message <hle41v+6t7beGroups> you wrote: > > I'm .

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I don't think that you are not supposed to ever want them again. This leads me to my confession...I eat when I am hungry, as the Naturally Slender Eating suggests you should do, BUT I eat junk:( LOL. I am going to work on that, God willing. The point is to find out WHY you think you need those foods and address that. I know why I don't want to stop drinking Mountain Dew, but I still allow myself one a day. The other side of the coin is about making yourself happy and healthy. You can eat a cookie or two and still be healthy. You can eat pizza and still be healthy. Make the right choices for you. Love yourself for who you are and do this because you want to be the best you you can be. I have NO idea if this answered you, but that was my take on your question:p. Stay and ask more. Learn more. Move forward. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® Newbie Hello all, Just wanted to say hi to everyone and hopefully get some advice. I just started on the program a few days ago and I'm tearing through the podcasts to get caught up (I'm on the 9th one already). But after hearing about her naturally slender eating strategy, I'm a little confused about something. Does this mean I'm never supposed to want pizza and cookies again? Because if that's the case, I'm not sure I can do this...I know that I can't be thin and eat all the pizza and cookies I want, but the thought of giving it all up for good still scares me. I guess I'm just still stuck on my inner conflict. And I'm still confused on how I'm supposed to resolve it. Am I not supposed to want the junk? Could someone please point me in the right direction before I get off on the wrong foot here? Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I don't think that you are not supposed to ever want them again. This leads me to my confession...I eat when I am hungry, as the Naturally Slender Eating suggests you should do, BUT I eat junk:( LOL. I am going to work on that, God willing. The point is to find out WHY you think you need those foods and address that. I know why I don't want to stop drinking Mountain Dew, but I still allow myself one a day. The other side of the coin is about making yourself happy and healthy. You can eat a cookie or two and still be healthy. You can eat pizza and still be healthy. Make the right choices for you. Love yourself for who you are and do this because you want to be the best you you can be. I have NO idea if this answered you, but that was my take on your question:p. Stay and ask more. Learn more.
