Cashews vs pecans plus good news

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I found information on 2 raw foodist websites concerning raw nuts. They both

say that raw cashews have the less fat and are easiest to digest and pecans are

the fattiest and the most difficult to digest. I was under the impression it

was the opposite.

So I gave it a try as I have difficulty digesting nuts. I made muffins with

half and half cashew and walnut flour. I had no difficulty at all digesting

them. No heartburn, no chronic C. Yipee!!!)

Also, respecting my own body's rhythms and working with my own enzymes is really

helping me! I feel so much better. I have regular BMs now and no heartburn. I

even sleep better too and have more energy. I see a light at the end of the

tunnel....finally!

GERDS and chronic C.

foodist websites concerning raw nuts. They both say that raw cashews have

Cashews have a much higher percentage of carbs than pecans. Most people

consider lots of carbs great and significant fat bad.

So I gave it a try as I have

difficulty digesting nuts. I made muffins with half and half cashew and

walnut flour. I had no difficulty at all digesting them. No heartburn, no

chronic C. Yipee!!!)

I believe one of the people at Digestive Wellness found she did better

with cashews, also. For me, cashews are a once-in-awhile treat. And

pecans are a staple.

Kim, Alyssa,

It's what I was explaining last week. If you follow the way your body's own

enzymes work, you digest alot better and feel better too. For example, start

with fruit in the morning first thing; wait at least 30 min. before having

protein. The peak time for digestion is at lunch so this should be your bigger

meal. After that, your body starts slowing down. So, your raw vegetables (if

you can tolerate them) should be taken at lunch and your cooked ones, at supper

time. You shouldn't eat past 8:00pm...

If you are interested in the entire article, let me know offline and I'll send

it to you.

Cheers,

Again, this is a question of everyone is different. If I started with a

bowl of fruit, or even a glass of diluted fruit juice and then waited 30

minutes, I'd be falling over with nausea and a headache. For me, any carb

source has to be accompanied by fats and protein.

However, what you're doing obviously works for you.

Thanks Marilyn,

I am aware that what works for me doesn't work for everyone. I just wanted to

share in case it would help someone else out there:o)
