Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 The protein in the lymph system is likely caused by enzyme deficiency, which could be from many things not just high protein. I think fluoride may play a factor here as it inhibits many enzymes. Overeating in any sense would be a big cause...as the pancreas would be stressed and not produce enough enzymes overall. If your concerned I think some strong enyzyme supplements would help, either from animals or from bromelain. Remember, Weston A Price himself thought one egg or the equivalent was enough animal protein daily. I personally feel a lot better eating small amounts of high quality raw animal protein...and eating more protein only throws off my meal times because it just stabilizes my blood sugar too much (and I only eat twice a day most days without snacking). For me 20-25g of protein a day from animal sources is plenty from experimenting. - --- In , " haecklers " <haecklers@...> wrote: > > One thing we can take for granted about the whole Native Nutrition > thing is that the " natives " who ate it were much more active than we > are; so what was good for them in their lifestyle may not be as good > for us in ours, especially if we get as much exercise as the typical > American. > > I've been obsessively researching the lymphatic system after > reading " The Trial and Persecution of Gaston Naessens.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 , When did he say one egg a day was enough protein? Was he discounting the amount of protein in milk/cheese? Interesting you bring up that about the fluoride, I was wondering about that as well, or what could be causing the protease deficiency I'm finding out so many of my friends have. Yes, fluoride DOES inhibit enzymes, doesn't it??? --- In , " gdawson6 " <gdawson6@...> wrote: > > The protein in the lymph system is likely caused by enzyme deficiency, > which could be from many things not just high protein.

(do you mean you don't get enough rollercoaster swings of too-much and then too little blood sugar, I ask myself, and that probably ain't it...)

So when I feel hungry I assume my blood sugar has dropped down...and If I don't get hungry long after I've eaten I would say my blood sugar is stable and I just won't feel like eating. So if I eat breakfast, say like 20g of raw beef protein along with probably 400-800 calories from fat, I won't feel hungry for lunch and when dinner time comes around many times I still won't feel very hungry. Its not like I felt like I ate too much for breakfast, my body just seems to be efficient and doesn't need much protein to feel stable. Also, eating when you don't feel hungry is just a bad idea IMO and it never makes me feel good. I really feel like your body is much more efficient at assimilating nutrients if you eat according to how hungry you feel and wait until you feel really hungry. Your digestion will be more complete and your intestines should be more balanced flora wise. So usually I try to keep my protein consumption lower so I feel nice and hungry for both breakfast and dinner. Something like a cup or so of raw kefir w/ extra cream, an egg yolk, and some organic raspberries is one of my favorite meals. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 So are you thin or average weight? Are you trying to keep yourself hungry so you'll eat because you don't want to get thinner? Just curious. I lose my appetite when I'm busy doing things I enjoy, I eat much more when I'm bored. That's also when I read cookbooks and try new recipes, which can be bad when you're trying not to overeat. > > > > > eating more protein only throws off my meal > > > times because it just stabilizes my blood sugar too much (and I only > > > eat twice a day most days without snacking).

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'm thin. I can gain weight if I eat a lot of butter, but I really feel better if I keep it to 400-800 calories of fat per meal (@ 2 meals a day). When I was 'average' weight I was eating 1200-1600 calories from fat per meal, and I seemed to digest all the fat fine. Its not that I don't want to get thinner or even worry about my weight, I just feel more balanced physically and mentally if I eat two moderate meals and sometimes a light lunch rather than one heavy meal and a light meal. I feel sharper and can meditate better if my meals are light...which is very important to me. - > > > > > > > eating more protein only throws off my meal > > > > times because it just stabilizes my blood sugar too much (and I > only > > > > eat twice a day most days without snacking).
