Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Peace to everyone, I recently completed the 10 day lemonade fast of Dr. Stanley Burroughs. I followed each instruction in detail and i'm pretty satisfied with the results. The only problem that i cee myself having right now is the way i'm eating now. This was the first time i ever tried it, and the problem i'm having is that i seem to be eating in excess too often. Now i'm in nooo means overweight. I'm in very good physical shape from my own standards, i exercise regularly. I've been a vegetarian months before i began the cleanse, so getting back to that routine of eating isn't difficult. I'm slowly eliminating dairy from my diet, and i'm exclusively eating organic fruits, vegetables, and grains. It's strange because, i've been feeling hungry when i'm already full. I also, because of my schedule with school and work, i find myself eating full meals later at night then i want to. I hate goin' to sleep with that fullness feeling and i've tried very hard to avoid it. Does anyone know what may be causing this.?? Could it be my body trying to make up for lost time..?? Has anyone who's done this cleanse ever experienced this.?? I'd greatly appreciate some input.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I had a similar experience as a vegetarian without the cleanse. It was because of the carbohydrates, sugar. When they process in your body they leave you wanting more, like an addiction. You need to check your protein intake and make sure you are getting some form of protein every 4 hours or so. This will create the necessary nitrogen to offset the sugar imbalance.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hello Natural Game, I applaud you on your quest to purify your body, but I think your problem is that you have depleted your reserves to a " famine " state. When this happens, your body will go into overdrive to stimulate the appetite and, most of the food you ingest will be converted to fat storage to help protect against the " false famine " that you have inadvertantly established. This is the rebound effect that happens to most people when they use fad diets, or fasts that don't also incorporate replenishing nutrients to the body. My first red flag goes up on the combination of herbs that your herbalist told you to take. You should not consume a combination of adrenal herbs and then immediately go on a fast, this will overly deplete the body. Also, any herbalist that does not give you a complete, long term approach to your health is not doing you justice. Especially, if you returned to this person with problems after following their advice, then they should have offered follow-up care without charging you again! I also have to question you, as to whether you disclosed to your herbalist that you were going to go on this fast? The quick fix, take a few pills (whether herbal or not), go on a fast, life will be better, concept HAS TO END. DON'T MISCONTRUE my intention here, as I know you have been on this fast for weeks, but IT JUST DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! You have to understand that your body will REVOLT! You will experience some very dramatic, if not even frightening outcomes which you are experienceing a few of them now. You cannot fast for that period of time without replenishing the body, which is where most fasts fall short. A beneficial fast should last no longer than 24 hours. If you go beyond this, then the body will start to draw essential minerals from the bones, which, over a course of several years, will lead to Osteoporosis. My personal opinion is that since you have already gone thru the hard part, then don't back-track. I know you are having cravings to overeat, or, maybe to even eat the foods you have already eliminated from your diet. Do not give in to these cravings. I suggest an herbal blend that you can brew as a tea in the morning, and then consume thru the day to help get you thru the cravings AND build your depleted body. This is my own blend that i developed and I don't suggest that you change any of the ingredients because they each have a supportive role in the blend. I would also suggest that you DO NOT take any other herbal remedies while you are trying to re-establish your system. Since I do not know if you are taking any prescription drugs, or if anyone reading this post is taking any drugs, then, I must caution you to be careful. Many drugs re-act to herbal therapies and I do not want anyone to have a bad outcome...therefore...if you are currently taking any prescriptions please consult your doctor or consult a Naturopath before continuing with any natural therapy. You must also continue to eat a ORGANIC diet, whether vegetarian or not. The most important factor is that you eliminate all chemical residues, and that you eliminate all processed foods, converting to a whole food diet is the best chance to overcome dis-ease! Lori's Build Tea (As far as measurements go: each measurement of this tea is listed as a part. A part is a dry measurement of your choice, i.e. it could mean a cup ( or parts of a cup, such as 1/2 cup), a teaspoon, or a tablespoon, just be consistent and use the same measurement for each ingredient. It is a dry weight, and is measured by volume not weight. Just be sure to measure EVERY ingredient using the same form of measurement) 2 parts stinging nettle 1 part oat straw 1 part alfalfa leaf 1 part raspberry leaf 1 part german chamomile flowers 1 part spearmint leaf Mix all toghter. One teaspoon of the blended herbs per 6 ounces of water is the proper infusion. Bring the water to a slow boil first, then remove from the heat source and add the herbs. Allow to steep for at least ten minutes, then strain thru a fine mesh sieve into a heat resistant vessel, such as a thermos. Drink 4 -5 cups per day to restore levels of vitamins and minerals to the blood stream. After the re-cuperation period, dis-continue this tea and switch to a maintenence formula. Good luck and Warm regards, Lori - In herbal remedies , natural game <mathmasta1111001> wrote: > > Peace to everyone, > > I recently completed the 10 day lemonade fast of Dr. Stanley Burroughs.
