RE: [OK]OT- first brew ready/Cravings (SUPER LATE RESPONSE! SORRY!)

[Guest guest]

Hi Dee,

I was cleaning out my KT folder and found this and wanted to respond even

though it was so late. You have probably gotten your water grains by now and

have your answer, but my slightly educated opinion is that all of these

fermented foods will help with cravings. I have not tried water kefir yet

because it seems a little more complicated than I am interested in, and my

kitchen is really starting to look like a science lab with my 5 gallons of

KT brewing, my gallon of milk kefir….I hardly have any counter space left!

But honestly, I am still amazed at my lack of sugar craving. I am starting

to read more about Candida and the symptoms of its overgrowth and I realize

that is where my problems lay. I have a bag FULL of chocolates here from

Christmas that I have barely given a second look. That NEVER would have

happened a few months ago. I am also shrinking like you wouldn’t believe. I

work out all the time, but for the past 2 years, after a 60 pound weight

loss, I was unable to get any progress. I just couldn’t control my eating. I

ate constantly and was never satisfied. Since KT and kefir I loosing inches

all over the place and my stomach belies the fact that I EVER had a child!

LOL. And I can actually go for a few hours and not eat! It’s like my entire

metabolism and therefore appetite has been reset.

I know this is more info than you asked for, but I have never felt so happy

and healthy and I KNOW it is because of KT and kefir. If only I could get

EVERYONE I love to try it…..

Be well,

Ana

Hi Ana ,

I've just ordered some water kefir grains, do you think that they

will also help with sugar cravings? I'm like you...given a choice,

I'd live on candy... YIKES!

Thanks for any input,

Dee
