Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hi Duncan, Yes, I know that---I used to eat bananas everyday---thought they were the perfect food, but I went on the HCG diet, had to give them up for awhile, and now I haven't had a banana in a long time........I bought some bananas intending to make my healthy banana/blueberry/walnut muffins (with coco oil), didn't make the muffins-----the bananas were staring me in the face. so I had 1, I noticed it didn't turn me on as much as before, and that's a good thing........ I still like them, but now can live without them..........(baby steps.!! smile).... Right now I'm in phase 3 of the HCG diet, which means no sugar/no starch..........I can eat fruit, but not heavily starchy fruit........ I have ALWAYS had a condida problem ALL my life, even though I didn't know it till couple of years ago....I see now why I've had the illnesses I've had, the medical history I've had.........I have always been a carb/starch/sugar eater/craver, but I am learning to change my ways........... I've accomplished a lot in the last couple of years, but I will always be refining my now healthy diet.............I have cut out sugar, going to xylitol and stevia, preferring non-gluten over gluten most of the time.....I eat for higher protein than I've ever ate before...... I use Jay Robb Protein shakes...... My candida is very under control, but will always have to be managed, like my sweet tooth.........there is hope (smile)........... Blessings, Margaret Heaven is within us.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Dipping in vinegar works too. You want to kill the spores on the surface. Or you can use kraut juice, nice and sour ... then you get a probiotic innoculation too. The vinegar dip can also be used for making jerky: hot vinegar was used in one study, to kill possible pathogens on the raw meat before drying it out. Traditional jerky doesn't have this problem because it was dried in the sun, and the sunlight kills most everything. But your average dehydrator makes a nice incubator for bacteria.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've read conflicting reports on whether fruit its ok to eat or not. One article said to stay completely away from any and all fruit due to the sugar content another said it was ok to eat a couple pieces of fruit on a daily basis. I've really cleaned up my diet and simplified it by eating mainly scrambled eggs for breakfast and broiled chicken for dinner. What I would like to do is eat maybe an orange or fuji apple (my fav) for a late night snack but don't want to take any unnecessary chances. Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks Sue, I just had a blood orange and didnt notice any difference in the way I feel. The hotel Im living in has a small kitchenette but its to small even for me to cook in so I'll buy a roasted chicken from the local supermarket and snack on it during the course of the day As far as eating veggies are concerned I really dont eat any. I know it's not the most healthy thing to do but I've only really liked salad and with the limitations on what I can and cant eat I just make it easy on myself and eat either an orange or an apple for my source of carbs. > > Dave, > > try it and see whether it agrees with you or not. > > also, don't know if you can cook in your current lodgings or if you are > eating out. > > Pastured organic eggs have more nutrition than store bought, even so > called " free range " which only means they live inside and have a little > hole they can exit to get outside in a small yard where they tend not to > go because they keep them inside in early part of life, then open the > door and they are already habituated to staying inside. > > Same for the chickens. > > What about vegetables, salads, dark green leafy veges, yellow veges.... > > sue > > >I've read conflicting reports on whether fruit its ok to eat or not.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Dave, YOur choice, but you might want to try some good dark leafy greens, probably have some in the market where you shop, all cooked in the deli section.... sue >Thanks Sue, I just had a blood orange and didnt notice any difference in >the way I feel.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I had a second orange and definitely had a negative response from it. So much for fruit. Thanks for the replies :-) Dave > > > > I've read conflicting reports on whether fruit its ok to eat or not.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 It makes a difference if it is whole fruit or fruit juice. Fruit juice is more concentrated fructose. The fiber in whole fruit slows down digestion so your sugar shouldn't spike as fast. Also fat taken with fruit or fruit eaten with a meal slows down disgestion. Anything that slows digestion of fruit or sugary things, aides in keeping blood sugar levels low, so fruit eaten alone will spike blood sugar more than fruit eaten at the end of a meal or eaten with something fatty like some cheese. I eat fruit. I think it's too important to leave out. Just eat less of things you are concerned about carbohydrate wise. > > I've read conflicting reports on whether fruit its ok to eat or not.
