Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I have read literally hundreds of books on nutrition, diets, etc. I read Neanderthin in the late 90's and to this day it is still the best nutrition book I have ever read. I still recommend it all the time. It makes total logical sense, and I think clears up a lot of what is going wrong in modern diets.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Very interesting but what do you all say to someone who lost 30 lbs which was 25% of her body weight without trying and is having trouble gaining much of it back. True I had an undiagnosed dairy intolerance but you would expect that the weight would come back when that was finally recognised. As a fairly recent widow, just over two years, I am never hungry and I do favor a healthy diet. I eat three times a day as I know I will get sick if I don't but I don't crave anything and to me meal time is basicly a necessary nuisance. I buy nothing that is processed if I can help it.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Irene, I have that problem too at times. Try eating avocados, adding olive oil or flax oil to your vegetables and remember, it is better to be too thin than too heavy, in my opinion.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 As it happens I have a grove full of avocado trees (hehe) so I should have access to them. but I don't much like too much oil on my salads I do like butter though now I am non dairy I use a good grade of margarine. I'm a former Brit and I don't like mayo at all, I wasn't raised with greasy food, we're more into vinegar.and lemon juice and those kind of flavors. Yes I suppose it is the skinny ones that tend to survive. I just don't eat the volum that some people do. Restaurant servings are about four times what a person needs, no wonder there is a weight problem in this country.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Nutrition is a science and as such you have to know the entire background and all of the variables before you can make an educated hypothesis. You may have parasites, you may have candida, you may be eating the wrong foods still, you might have leaky gut or any number of health issues, or you might just be at a healthy weight for your body. Your lack of appetite could be physical and/or psychological due to the trauma that you have been through. Sorry, there's no way I can give you an idea with so little information.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi Debbie,I've been following every single discussion on this site and found out it's very interesting and informative.I myself is living with lupus ( is on remission ) and no longer on medication, but, am having skin rash that is itchy and started as a little bump on a small spot and later on will spread wider.I was at my Rheumatologist 2 weeks ago, showed him what I have and he said could be just an allergy or lupus. I only take Reactine when it's necessary.I never have any allergy before, didn't change diet at all, so both my GP and Rheumatologist can't help me with this.What they said though if this rash keep come and goes for a while they suggest to do some biopsy to find out.Does anybody you know also having similar problem ? or do you have any idea what is this ?Thank you,Jozefina Stamp.,_._,___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I am not a doctor so I can't offer diagnosis, and even if I were one I couldn't do that over the net. I'd go see a dermatologist and see what they say. There's a few points here: - Lupus is an auto-immune disorder - The theory is that if you are eating poor quality foods, your immune system is always reacting to your foods, and gets too overwhelmed and too revved up to deal with your other health issues. - I had psoriasis (another auto-immune disorder) that cleared up when I fixed up my diet - psoriasis has no CURE, it cleared up because I strengthened my immune system and stop eating bad foods (along with a long list of other health issues) - Skin issues invariably start from within.. a healthier body has healthy skin I recommend a paleolithic diet for health and I highly recommend you start by reading Ray Audette's book " Neanderthin " . The foods he recommends are what I recommend except for most people I recommend strictly limiting or excluding fruits and honey (which are paleolithic but would have not been available for many). Nutrition is the foundation of the vast majority of health and emotional issues. The right nutrients can turn around depression, OCD, ADHD, heart disease, diabetes, lupus, fibro and many more health issues. It is not an overnight cure, and you have to maintain proper nutrition for life, but there are no magic pills here. The foods you eat go into making every cell in your body.. you are what you eat, literally. Luv, Debby in San Jose, CA 147 pounds lost! 100% of health issues reversed!
