Clay for weight loss

July 20, 2008

1 @Hi Esther,

Both my S/O and I have been losing weight very very gradually over

the past (me over 6 months and him almost 4 months). The foundation I

would heartily put down as the results of drinking/eating clay.

Why is it that men can drop weight quicker than women? I always

wonder that but I'll start with his experience, and post my own some

other time. I am consistently extolling the benefits of cleansing

your system on a regular basis and paying attention to the foods you

put in your body. It's my soapbox (the monkey on my back-LOL) and he

has heard my passionate diatribe more than once.

He knew I had started drinking clay in January and knew it wasn't the

first time I had done this " wierd " thing. He has heard all the

stories I have to tell about what it has helped me with. One day he

finally just came out and said he wanted to try it, so we went out

and found a nice stopper top bottle (great for emphasizing the

importance of the ritual) for him and mixed it up to a very thick

liquid shake consistency. I told him to drink an ounce - ok, he's a

guy so I told him to drink a shot glass full of clay everyday without

fail and drink plenty of water. He's a very big guy, 6'4 " and tho

he's never told me, I'm guessing he weighed in at about 350 -

370...so I told him to try getting in at least two gallons of water

preferrably three.

When he asked me what to expect, I simply said to expect more poo. He

thought I was being cute and funny. Moreso, when nothing happened for

the first 3-4 days.( " You're not drinking enough water... " ) He was one

of those types of people who would have 1 BM a day and often skip a

day (that can't be healthy). By the time the clay had it's affect on

his system, he matter of factly mentioned he seemed to have more

energy that morning. (He didn't attribute it to the clay until about

a week later.) But within a couple of hours of his comment the clay

had finally begun it's work and he dropped a load of kids off at the

pool. LOL I'm sorry if this is too graphic for some or not clinical

enough for others but (shrug) it's my only way to be comfortable

talking about stuff like this and I believe it's an important part of

the experience. By the end of the second week, he was at 1 - 2 BM's a

day without fail. His comments at the end of second week: " Wow! I've

felt more pep this week. When I open my eyes in the morning, I'm

ready to pop out of bed...I used to groan, roll over and try to sleep

a few more hours. I actually have the energy to get the house

spiffied up before I get ready for work! I think it's the clay! You

didn't say it would give me energy! "

Yeah, this is where it starts getting difficult telling people what

clay can do for them. I'm sure Perry can attest, everyone's

experience will be individual. There are some basics of what will

happen when taking clay, but depending upon the system, one affect

(for instance weight loss) will happen in one body after a certain

amount of time and in another body at a completely different amount

of time. I will attribute this to each body doing what it must do in

the order it must do it in. I wholly believe in the wisdom of our

bodies and our NEED to listen and respond to its needs - it will

always speak to us, we merely need to follow our instincts - listen

to its desires. Perry mentions the wisdom of clay, I believe it is a

synergistic result of the body's wisdom taking advantage of and

applying the incredible qualities of clay where and when it needs the

specific quality available to heal itself. The body is built to heal

itself...we need to supply it with the tools it can use and try to

incur the least amount of damage upon it with our habits. Ok, sorry-

that was part of my soapbox....and also the main reason I didn't tell

him it would give him energy.

At the end of the first month, I'm noticing his pants are a bit

loose. About halfway through the second month he lets me know he's

getting into old clothes that used to be too tight to wear. At three

months I notice a less round, more angular look to his face and more

looseness to his pants (irritatingly so - I insist if he goes

anywhere with me he's gonna have to wear a belt because I don't like

the sagging and the 'chonies' showing all over kingdom come). He is

four months into the clay experience this week. Last week he had to

send 3 pair of smaller sized pants he had ordered back for something

even smaller for a good fit. This means since he first started

drinking the clay, he has dropped three pant sizes. Again, I don't

know the amount of weight he has lost but to be able to physically

notice a marked difference on someone so big...I would say he's

dropped at least 30 lbs. if not more.

So what he has noticed and what he has done in the past four months

include a boost in energy levels, sleep patterns are normalizing,

he's cooking more often in order to eat healthier and cut down on the

fast food. My only request to him ever, as far as his habits,

(because I know one can never change another person - that desire has

to come from within) was to try to eat less deep fried foods (another

soapbox lecture I will refrain from) from restaurants. He and his

friends would do deep fried buffalo wings 2-3 times a week! (gads!)

He still indulges, but it's a sight less than before clay. He has

been listening a little closer to his body and he notices desires

changing up a bit. He noticed this past week when he was invited out

to after work drinks with friends how easy it was to order an iced

tea while they drank beer and still enjoy the cameraderie. He said he

didn't have a desire for the beer at the time - not that he's given

it up of course, but I think it is significant when you find someone

who would have regularly thrown down 3-4 beers to just outta nowhere,

(wink*wink) decide to go with the tea instead of the boup coup

calorific beers.

Where do you get this clay, what kind of clay and how much do you mix in water and in what type of water and what time of day do you drink it? Are there any contraindications for anyone to not use it? I have fibro and CFS. I have gained 40 pounds, while I was taking Lyrica. Needless to say I threw that script in the garbage! But I can't get this mushy weird weight off my body! I eat organic. I eat very little meat. I don't drink. I am so frustrated I could run screaming down the street naked!

Help!

Can I watch?

You can also find the clay at your local health food store. Sonne's

is a brand that most carry. Sometimes you will find the clay as a

powder. Other times you will find the active ingredient in it,

montmorillonite, as a liquid. Good luck!
