I use to food combine back in 1982 at age 19.

Today, as always I am a big believer in eating simple. I''d say that for

most people it will be beneficial. I could get into more then food

combining, but not sure people want to be bothered with it.

" rant "

food for thought!... thomas, what's your take on food combining?

Of course we want to be bothered with it. It sounds very interesting.

Please give us some info on it. At present I'm battling a bit with the

whole program, reason being that I'm sticking to it quite religiously, but

am not able to shed any pounds. In general, I hardly touch any grains and

eat mainly highly beneficials, fruit for breakfast, meat & vegies for lunch

& dinner, still with no luck. Perhaps the food combining could help

further. I also take Kelp supplements, Vit B complex & Calcium, but still

no luck. Any suggestions?

Regards

Have you tried checking your ph level? My naturopath (spelling?) told me

it's very important to check my ph level (saliva & urine). He said I should

check it about twice a week, but I forget, so it's usually once a month. He

told me that when your ph level is off your system is out of whack, &

therefore medications, vitamins, diets, etc. just can't do the job they are

designed to do.

Anyway, everytime I get to the point that I'm not losing weight while

staying faithful to ER, I check my ph level. I usually find I'm terribly

acidic. I was instructed to drink lemon juice & water (I still eat

normally-- " ER " ), then the weight starts coming off again within hours.

First thing in the morning, I squeeze a good sized half a lemon, & pour it

into my 24oz water bottle, pulp & all, & drink it that way, but always use a

straw--it will give some protection to your teeth. You can put real maple

syrup in the lemon juice, but I like it better with just the lemon & water.

Usually one bottle per day is all I drink. There are some other things you

can do to counteract the acidity, but generally this is about all I do. If

you are alkaline, instead of lemon juice, it should be 1 T. apple cider

vinegar & a little honey 3 times a day. Anyone interested should study up

on it, because there are several other things reccommended along with the

lemon/vinegar drink for people who are acidic or alkaline.

I started checking my ph at the same time I started on ER (first part of

June this year), I've now lost 23 pounds. Because of severe knee & other

joint problems, I do not exercise. And, let's be totally honest here, I'm

too lazy to exercise. I " PLAN " to change that when I get off some more

weight, because it should be less painful for me when I weigh less.

I hope I haven't broken any rules here. I just know it works for me.

Donna, how do you check your ph level? This makes

perfect sense to me and I want to find out what I am.

<<Then the LPN was nice enough to tell me whether she received the flu

shot, but she thought she had had it, but it wasn't the flu shot. It

was the pneumonia shot. GRRRR! I'll have to call him back and tell

him, no vaccines whatsoever. Let my mom become coherent and ask for it

herself.>>

That is so frustrating! I have to tell you though, I am appreciating

your experience so that in the future if I ever have to deal with this

with my mother I will know how to handle it. I believe my mom already

has proxies in place, etc. Her husband has first call on her healthcare

and I have second call if he can't decide. I will have to have words

with him about vaccines before she ever gets that sick. *hugs* I hope

your trouble eases soon.

does NOT like using most school bathrooms. They tend to be crowded &

noisy and sometimes dark. She could go all day " holding it in " to avoid using

the bathroom.

In her old ES her aide would take her to the Kindergarten bathrooms. It was

in a newer wing of the school and the stalls were bigger and the bathrooms

better lit. She could go in when other kids weren't there.

Now she is in MS and also dealing with her period. Her aide takes her to one

of the Teacher batthrooms or to the one at the nurse's office.

Something about the environment in the bathroom may be wigging her out.

FACTS TO PONDER:

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.

© Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human Services.

Now think about this:

Guns: (A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.

(Yes, that's 80 million..)

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year is 1,500.

© The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.

Statistics courtesy of FBI

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun

owners.

Remember, " Guns don't kill people, doctors do. "

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.

We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large, I withheld the statistics on

lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical

attention

That is so unfortunate. :-( The body gets under stress when the emotions

experience negative things. The nerves go out of whack, the ph gets more acidic

and the body is susceptible to getting sick. I'm in no way saying what to feel

emotionally. All I can suggest is to guard yourself from negative energy.

There's no sense in you getting sick as well.

Jana, You are right about your comment."I am so discouraged because of my body fat percentage, but I guess last year it was higher."Even though you still have a high body fat percentage just think of how high it might be now if you arent working toward bringing it down. We all have to keep in mind that even though some of us is losing only 1 pound a week or even maintaining that had we not started trying to eat better and lose weight we may have actually gained another 15 or 20 pounds. It will take time but that % will come down. Don't give up on the job. Sometimes these physical test are just formalities because someone in a main office somewhere says to do them.:) If the local place you are applying at thinks you can do the job you are applying for you may still very well get the job. So don't give up just yet on the job and definitely don't give up on loosing the weight.

I went today to take a physical for a job at the school. I couldnt believe the stuff they have you do for a physical to get a freakin job. They tested my strentgh weight lifting. Crunches I did 12 in 20 seconds and they wanted me to do sit ups without moving my feet or hips and to cross my arms and I couldnt do 1. My body fat percentage is 41% what the hell do they need to know that for. So now I am flipping my lid thinking I flunked this test because I couldnt do 1 sit-up. But I did lift 60lbs 10 times in a minute off the floor to a shelf. I am so discouraged because of my body fat percentage, but I guess last year it was higher. Sorry about my ramble. Jana

Gosh! Have they ever heard of the expression TMI. I'm not sure why

they would need all of this information, but I'm so incredibly proud

of you. Just think how much better your numbers are now that your on

plan. You will have a great baseline now to make comparisons with in

one year. Congrats Patty

IT is a teachers aide. My husband thinks they want to make sure I dont have any pre exsiting injuries. They told me they wanted to make sure I could lift 20lbs. Time will tell I did the best that I could and that is all I can ask of myself. Jana

Jana, one nice thing about percentage of body fat is that it comes down pretty quickly as you lose weight. Even a small amount of weight loss can make it jump down quite a bit. I know we all have discouraging days.

I think I would have been better if it wasnt a man running the test lol. But he told me he weighs 435lbs and is doing south beach. I looked it up and it says that anything over 32% is obese so I guess I should look at it like only 9% more to go than I will be alright lol.I hope everyone stays cool today it is supposed to get up to 108 here today.
