1) Do you still enjoy eating? More then ever. You should also feel

the same way - I mean your Highly Beneficial list is a lot bigger then

what you have been eating prior to ER - and knowing that they serve as

medicine?

2) Do you still enjoy cooking? More then ever!!!

Is it possible that your book is missing many pages and you just don't

realize it? :-)

Snacks - as an O it should be jerky (beef/turkey). Eggs, chicken breast

with some lettuce etc.

To eat few larger meals help to slow down ones metabolism. Do you like?

Water - cold will stop digestion on the spot. Me no like that. Between

meals however help to burn calories (Bill )

Warm stimulates digestion. Hot destroys enzymes as well.

Hint: lack of chewing = " lack of saliva " creates thirst. So chew your

food really well and in return your body will reward you with better

health. Me chew not enough. :-(

What is your diet like when you are eating well?

Hello,

I gave my intro a few weeks back. Thanks for the feedback. I keep

plugging along after two really compliant months on ER, then a less

compliant month, and I'm ready to get motivated again....a few

questions as I think about ER as a lifestyle change:

1) Do you still enjoy eating? Or are you all at a point of

accepting food more as fuel for the body, a necessity rather than a

pleasure?

2) Do you still enjoy cooking?

3) I need snack ideas...I love dried berries and nuts, but find that

I eat too many, and need other quick ideas...I tend to eat fewer

larger meals rather than many smaller ones/snacks as I'd like to do.

4) How important do you find drinking liquids before/after, and not

during meals? Any research on cold versus warm/hot liquids?

That will do for now,

We do enjoy cooking and eating. We just try to keep it as compliant as

possible. Have you tried making meat jerky? I think if you go to the files

at , where you joined the group, you find 3 recipes for it. It is

possible to go to the message part there and in the search put in what you

would like to find out more information.

Since I've been on the blood type diet, I love eating much more than I ever did

before. I ate only highly beneficial foods for six weeks. During that time, I

began to know, as soon as I put a food in my mouth, whether it was beneficial,

neutral, or avoid. I can feel the difference at a deep level. I learned to

like (or discovered I liked) beneficial foods I never liked before. Cheese and

corn are about the only avoid foods I miss at all, and I can do without them.

It feels SO GOOD to eat beneficial foods! Not even chocolate chip cookies can

compare.

> I have numerous questions coming up as I read through all the great

> 1. Hard cheese has nearly 1% milk sugar in it and butter has a trace.

> Why is hard cheese eliminated when it's so close to butter in

amounts? > I really need to understand this as I haven't noticed it

making my symptoms worse. I do notice it with cream cheese and cottage

cheese however.

==>Like yogurt and kefir cheese is fermented, and even though the

lactose is lowered during the fermentation process lactose is changed

into galactose, which is also a sugar. Butter is not fermented. The

rule is that the higher the butter fat content the lower the sugars.

One of our moderators loved cheese and it took her a long time to stop

eating it. When she did the difference was quite noticeable. See

Jeanne's message in our Success Stories Folder.

> 2.Can I use sodium ascorbate that's already formulated instead of

> mixing the ascorbic acid crystals with baking soda?

==>All of the ready-made sodium ascorbate products I've researched do

not contain the equal balance of ascorbic acid to baking soda like the

recipe recommended, so I would advise against buying it. Do not mix it

ahead of time because it quickly oxidises - when it turns yellow it is

not good to consume.

> 3. How long does fake cream keep in the fridge and is it supposed to

> be as solid as jello?- that's how my first try turned out.

==>It was not solid like jello when I made it; it should be pourable.

Try adding less gelatin or add more ice until it is the consistency of

cream. Do not use regular store-bought gelatin; get a good gelatin

like Bernard Jensen's.

I was merely asking a question Bee. I am struggling with trying to feel a

little better and I am getting worse and worse. If you don't know the answer

to a question maybe you could just say so instead of making snide remarks

like 'I am not a chemist'.

==>I apologize for offending you a. I didn't state it as a

snide remark, I stated it because analyzing everything in detail is

not my thing nor necessary, and also I am not a chemist so I am

unable to do it.

If you are getting worse and worse please re-evaluate everything you

ARE consuming or exposed to. Are you taking drugs of any kind, i.e.

pain killers, birth control pills, hormone replacement, etc. Are you

eating anything off plan or not taking some of the supplements? Are

you taking supplements not on the plan? Are you exposed to any

toxins in your environment that may be overwhelming you, i.e. molds,

dander, cleaning or personal care products, candles, air fresheners,

carpets that are outgassing, dry cleaning chemicals, etc. Are you

stressed and dealing with emotional or mental issues?

==>a, when I searched for home glucose test+inaccurate there

were a few references that came up. Most home tests are considered

at least 20% inaccurate.

There was one particular brand listed that is very inaccurate. The

most accurate test is done by your doctor, but even then laboratories

can be wrong/off.

In any case if you consume the ratios recommended on this program it

would be impossible to have high blood sugar.

The best to you, Bee

Hi, everyone.

I got lab tests results yesterday. Now, I feel overwhelmed looking

into the papers.

Here are some questions I stick to since last night.

I'm going to give my ds nystatine soon. Before starting that, I

wonder if yeast die-off could cause a seizure. My ds has had

seizures and he is on medication.

I want to know about phenol problem. His DAN dr. did not mention it,

but I'v heard it would be as bad as yeast problem. Where can I find

the phenol food list and how can I confirm my ds has intolerance to

phenol?

Do all fruits feed yeast? How about citrus?

Thank you in advance.

No, cranberries, blackberries, boysenberries tend not to increase

yeast so much, altho these are all high phenol. Also lemons, limes,

and sometimes pears are good.

Most citrus increases yeast.

I can't help with the cats. I am severely allergic and we have always had dogs.

Our dogs have always had thick necks and never cared how the children played

with them. As far a potty training, I learned through research that every mammal

has the natural urge to go just after waking and within 15 mins of mealtime.

Begin by walking her toward the restroom during these times. Once she gets used

to following her bodies natural cues, she will go at other times, too. ~~~Aggy

Subject: Several Questions

Hi all,

I have some general questions about things that are going on with Zoe. First of

all, she is 3, in a PPCD program at school, and has two older sisters who are 5

and 8.

My first question is, we have two cats, and for some reason Zoe likes to put her

hands around their necks. I do not know how to stop her from doing this. She

does not respond to any vocal commands about it, (no, leave the cat alone, let

go). I believe that she does understand these terms, as she will respond to them

or even use them in other situations. The cats have scratched her on occasion

and even drawn blood, but she doesn't care. Her father and I have tried slapping

her hand, and she doesn't care about that either. I'm worried we won't be able

to keep the cats. Her reaction to the vocal commands is usually just a laugh.

When I can, I try to redirect her behavior to something else, playing with a toy

or going into another room, but she will say, " no thank you " and continue to

mess with the cats. Has anyone had similar problems? Any ideas? Thanks

My next question is, can anyone share successful potty training methods with me?

I am trying to go back to work next year (I am a teacher looking to start next

August), and the daycares will not take her without her being potty trained.

Plus, she stays dry all night, and for long periods in the day. I feel that she

is ready, but I don't know how to make her understand when to go on the potty.

She will sit on the potty, she just doesn't do anything. I would appreciate any

help in this area.

Thanks so much!

, mom of Zoe (3)
