Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 " Thanks Jen, Appreciate the lengthy explanation. So, at this point what do YOU eat normally? " Eliz. Ahh right I forgot that didn't I? Oooops! A typical day would be: Breakfast: Flax cereal with single cream and almonds. I usually skip lunch cause I'm just not that hungry, but I snack on cheese and nuts. Sometimes for breakfast I will have tuna salad with lettuce, or lettuce rollups with some protein in the middle. I also snack on olives and chicken wings. Dinner: Usually chicken/fish/beef with a salad and occasionally a side of zucchini, broccoli or spinach. I haven't added in fruit yet, since I'm nervy that it might cause sugar cravings. Sometimes when I do have a mild craving for sweets I will either have jelly or a diet soda.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 On a more positive note...if you want to stick with this way of eating....I'd eat the flax raw- I can teach you a great recipe for the BEST raw flax cereal- sprouted and alive. Can you use raw almond milk instaed of the cream? I can give you a recipe for that too. And as for the nuts you are eating...can you switch to raw organic almonds and soak/ sprout first? Makes them digestible and delicious. Lettuce roll ups are great! I assume you're eating the skin on these chicken wings. Most of the toxins are found in the skin and organs- so please only eat organic. Make sure your olives do not come from a can---you don't want to know!!! Eat raw if possible- or at least good quality kalamata olives. Steam your veg or eat raw- only organic. Use mixed baby greens in your salad and lots of fresh herbs. Remember anything with a pit or seeds IS a fruit....avocado...etc. I didn't hear anything orange in there- can you add squash and carrots? Why jelly? Are you eating garlic? Yogurt? You can probably...I guess use stevia as a sweetener on your diet- check. It's good for you and very sweet. You could use some in your yogurt and some flax and raw nuts...raw coconut too....yummy! make sure to drink a ton of water! I live on fruit and require much less... Are you able to have multiple bowels movements daily with this diet? Take care!! Love, Elizabeth On Friday, August 22, 2003, at 02:14 PM, e g wrote: > Ahh right I forgot that didn't I?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Perhaps it might even cost you more to not eat "organic" ;o) What's that old saying? "Do it right and pay for it now, or pay even more later when it's broke" ;o) Like a car or any piece of machinery, money invested in maintenence will always save you money in the long run. Valorie and I get our organic meats from: http://www.homesteadhealthyfoods.com/ The prices aren't too bad, especially if you buy in bulk.

Will have more food money after our move in the next 2 months or so.... but organic is very hard to find around here. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Granny honey, what you say may appear to be logical from the viewpoint of saving a buck, but it ain't ;o) There are other choices here besides the two proposed. You don't have to have commercial eggs just to "save money". 1. You can pay $.89 a doz. for hormone, steroid, antibiotic riddled eggs that can cause hormones to go out of whack, PMS, funky periods, puberty at the age of 7, 8, or 9, ADD symptoms, ADHD symptoms, prostate problems, impotence, infertility, etc. ad nauseum. 2. You can pay $1.89 for organic eggs and get a plethora of beautiful amino acids that actually help in the building of the body. 3. You can do a little Sunday driving out in the country, and find a farmer who raises his own chickens naturally as witnessed by your own inspection, and offer him a dollar a dozen for his chem free, natural eggs and get the benefits in #2. 4. You can raise your own chickens if you have your own back yard, and as long as you don't have a rooster you can even do this in the city and only pay about $.40 a dozen and get the benefits of #2. 5. Start your own organic co-op (even in the city) and get organic eggs wholesale, cheaper in bulk (you don't need to refrigerate eggs even though the stores tell you different) and still get the benefits of #2. and . . . The possibilities are endless ;o) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - tvksi herbal remedies Saturday, August 23, 2003 3:28 PM [herbal remedies] Re: Atkin's Diet greg, i'm with you on that. i checked organic eggs at the market and they were $1.89 for half dozen medium in contrast to medium grade a eggs at $.89 a doz.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 List Daddy, DR Ian, i hear you talkin'. and in all respect i know what you are saying but i also know people who's income is so low that they either do without food or without electricity or medication and it is not because they are lazy. i bet you that if 50% of the dear members of this forum were to loose their jobs they would be loosing their house and cars within 6 months unless there is more than one good income source in the household. it is not only the elderly single housholds that are having a hard time, but young couples with children who because of the downgrading (?) of their companies are having it hard. not everyone is as fortunate as you or me. they deserve to be able to afford decent food, too. i can afford some of the outrageous prices they charge for some of the organic products but i'm not even sure that they are organic. they may have a 'certified organic,' but a lot of things are 'certified.' kind of reminds me of the old medicine men who sold their wares and gave a prize of a billfold, 'certified genuine artificial leather .' i seldom use eggs; i used eggs as an example as it was the most recent item to come to my attention, but it is everything else. my son raises good beef and i can get healthy meat from him. (i don't use enough to worry about meat, though) it isn't 'certified organic' but it comes from fields of good grass and naturally grown animals without antibiotics or steroids or such. but not everyone can. we all fuss about the cost of prescribed as well as otc medications, but are the organic suppliers any better? i may have to pay utilities and property taxes for another 10 or 20 years or so, so i have to be careful how i spend what little i have so that i don't become a burden to my children or the state so...yes...i'm cheap! i am more concerned in having a buck to save than saving a buck. I really appreciate your comments, and i will give them further thought when i cool off from realizing the difference of 80 cents for 12 eggs versus 1.89 for 6 eggs hehehe!!!! love.. granny lee in reply to: herbal remedies , " Dr. Ian Shillington " <Dr.IanShillington@G...> wrote: > Granny honey, what you say may appear to be logical from the viewpoint of saving a buck, but it ain't ;o) > > There are other choices here besides the two proposed.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Dear Granny, You cooled off yet??? ) LOL Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not accusing anyone of being lazy. If anyone is lazy, it is me. I like to buy myself "lazing" time, and the way I do that is to work smart, not hard. For example: 1. You can have your own chickens in your back yard that will produce all year round and give you organic eggs cheaper than your $.80 a doz. And talk to anyone who's raised chickens. They are a ball to raise, and more fun than you could possibly imagine. I could watch a pen full of hens for hours. 2. You can grow your own garden and produce many of the organic vegetables you need at a fraction of the cost of what you'd pay in a regular supermarket. Get a book called "Gardens Victorious" (Victory Gardens), and it'll teach you how to grow a very economical garden. This was how people survived the vegetable shortage during WW1 and WW2. This book and the concept are awesome, and if the "_ _ it" ever hit the fan in this country and the economy went belly up, the power grid went down, etc. etc. you'd be sitting pretty in the middle of your own garden having a ball growing your own food. And don't tell me that you can't do this cause you live in an appartment LOL Valorie and I may have a 14 acre ranch, but she does almost as much growing indoors as she does out doors due to our short growing season at over 7,200 feet in elevation. We have tomatoes producing at Christmas when it is 8* below zero outside. 3. You say you're "cheap" ), well it doesn't get any more cheaper than it does by doing the above two. Furthermore, you can get real clever at your recycling when you do the above. IE: Valorie takes our food scraps and puts them in a blender and purees the dickens out of them. She then pours this on the soil of her indoor plants, and they produce humongous veggies. You can take the carrot pulp left over after you've made your carrot juice for the day, put it into a food dehydrator and dry it thoroughly (below 100*F) and then mix this with other leftovers and you've got an incredible "Dog" food. You can also use this as compost as well. There are a million ideas out there to make it go right to switch over to 100% organic, and it just takes the determination to educate oneself to do so. Soooooooooooo, you can argue all you want to ROTFL, but anyone can switch over to 100% organic if they truly want to. You can make it go right by spending either time or money, or a little of both. Of course if a person says it long enough and hard enough that they "CAN'T", then just may be they won't ;o) Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. I believe that anyone can change any condition in their life. The first step is making the firm decision to do so.
