Re: SSI (Terri hang in there...) master cleanse question ....

[Guest guest]

Two questions about the Master Cleanse:

1. Can you do it and still target yeast? From what I read it seems to

make sense that you could -- if it is really cleaning the walls of the

digestive tract, it could hit yeast living in there, but I don't know

about the sugar and the systemic yeast. Can anyone speak about that?

If I have missed post on this, forgive me -- I can go to the archives.

2. Can you do it and not lose weight? I am six feet tall and currently

weigh about 138-140. 137 is as low as I go when I am working out. My

body fat is higher since I have not been working out ( since Feb/March

when I got sick), but I believe I am losing muscle, as I am losing

weight with no evidence of my " six pack " -- it is covered up with a

little layer of fat. Concerned about losing muscle.

You know, the initial stage of the anti-yeast diet is a lot like the

Atkins diet my mom was on for a while. I frowned on it because from what

I learned (in a metabolic seminar) of the way your body ends up

metabolizing fats when it has no carbohydrates to use. I hate that

diet. It ends up eating muscle instead of fat, after about 4 days.

In two days I will have been on the initial stages of the anti-candida

diet for two weeks. I am waiting for my yeast books to come from

half.com, and am hoping to find something I can branch out to eat.

I have been eating a lot of kale -- bought a large bag and it really

doesn't cook down the way spinach does -- I can't seem to finish the

bag. Last night I made some and started gagging when I tried to finish

it. My body just said " enough kale! "

In a day or two, I will hide the rest of it in a soup and cook it limp.

That'll teach it!

Dawn, there is a website called Vita-Gem Enterprises, it's Tom

Woloshyn's site from , B.C. Canada. I trained with him a few

years ago. There some info on there, and if you have any questions

he may be able to answer them. All I know is that your body loses

all the garbage out of it and you do lose weight, but the weightis

simply stuff your body dosn't need. To gain weight, I had to put

on " muscle " - I took Kung Fu...I loved it and I felt confident as

well. Today it seems popular to go to the gym, etc. I know it's

difficult to pick a path that works for you...there are so many

suggestions out there. Just research and go with your intuition.

Love,

Sunny
