Guest guest Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 <<< Is anyone else having trouble keeping the weight down on NT? Sonja >>> Hi Sonja, Yes, a little. The jeans were getting pretty uncomfortable. I was probably going overboard with with all the yummy food. I've started to exercise more, which I needed to do anyway. Also, I'm trying to cut back on the carbs a little more. I'm probably not overweight by many people's standards, just always wishing I were ten pounds lighter. Even if I'm a little chubbier it's probably worth it. I'm thinking the raw milk, cod liver oil, evening primrose oil & borage oil have worked a virtual miracle on my menstrual cycle (sorry men, I know you don't want to here about female troubles). My last cycle came as a total surprise! It's been a big relief. I'm hoping it continues. I was on the verge of desperation, I was even thinking of going to a doctor. Actually the absence of bloating helped me feel less fat. Even so, I'd still love a magic pill that would make me lose ten pounds!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 >Is anyone else having trouble keeping the weight down on NT? >Sonja No, I'm losing (not fast though). How much concentrated carbs are you eating? Cut back. How much discrete fat? It amazes me when I hear folks talking about eating bunches of fat seperately. Yes, it's great energy food, great fat-soluble vites etc...but it's also 9 calories a gram, and my metabolism at least can't handle it. How much raw veggie are you getting? -- Quick www.en.com/users/jaquick " Representative government -- where many crooks get to vote one crook into office. " --ny Hart in the comic strip " B.C.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 What is the argument for primrose and borage oil being " traditional " ?

Just a small FYI, the reason to take evening primrose and borage is because they contain GLA, and converting from LA (the base omega-6 fatty acid) to GLA is a very slow an inefficient process for the same reason that converting from LNA to EPA and DHA on the omega-3 arm is an inefficent process - they both require the D6D enzyme. However, just as animal fats have the EPA and DHA preformed, they also have DGLA and AA on the omega-6 arm preformed. So there is no need to supplement with GLA if you get ample animal fats. the WAP site has a good article on this: http://www.westonaprice.org/know_your_fats/tripping.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be considered grounds for child abuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
