Re: My book is due tomorrow

This is pure speculation on my part, but it seems if you gained the weight fairly rapidly you should be able to lose it more quickly. If we could count on LIFO (last in first out), which I'm not sure we can completely.  So I would still target losing it somewhat slower than you gained it.There is a huge difference between getting energy balance only slightly negative, and severe caloric restriction which is unwise at advanced age and not proved at any age (in humans). I would further make a distinction between weight loss and true caloric restriction. While you are still feeding off your excess fat stores you are arguably not fully restricted.  A high fiber diet could be somewhat helpful at scrubbing fat soluble toxins from gut, but not necessarily from blood stream. A recent thread opened up the possibility that fat loss also could release some beneficial fat soluble vitamins (A,  D, etc.).When in doubt moderation always, but we are all different individuals with different circumstance. I repeat the primary focus of getting full nutrition first. If eating a high fiber diet you may not absorb all the fat soluble nutrition you are eating so when in doubt target the high side of nominal intake for nutrients.Good luck... there are many foods and nutrients reported to be cancer protective, but cancer has many faces so again it depends on your personal circumstance. There's also a lot of nonsense out there so first do no harm. If something you read sounds stupid, maybe it is. Don't rely on speculations or opinions (like mine).JROn Apr 8, 2008, at 9:27 AM, bannh1102 wrote:Hi, I'm new.

Losing weight to fast can release to much toxins into my blood. I gained a lot of weight with my cancer treatment. Some how it caused problems with my thyroid that seems to have stopped when I completed the drug. Why, I don't know but now my test are good with no other reason.Does this group recommend any detox that might help me? Do you just recommend going very slowly? I have done a lot of research on healthy eating an have some strong convictions on what not to eat, no meat, etc. I seem to differ with this group on healthy oils. I prefer to read the book before I talk about that.Thank you all for allowing me to join this group. I hope at some point I know enough to contribute to this list.Barb
