Indeed! it is like so many other things......too much is too much, but a

woman does need to maintain some fat is all that I was stating. Too much

estrogen for that matter, makes cancer grow...that is why heavy women have an

increased risk of cancer.

 

Women who have survived cancer......don't get estrogen replacement therapy

during menopause either.

I too have noticed that in the beginning the absence of fat in my diet was a

problem in how I felt. Now I have moved to eating way more greens than I ever

thought possible and I also don't eat much fruit. Although I suppose avocados

are considered a fruit and I do love them as well as nuts which is part of my

need to have the fat too. But the fruit just doesn't satisfy me so I just go

back to the greens. I have read and been told by doctors that heavier women

have an easier time with menopause as estrogen is indeed stored in fat tissue.

But that same fat tissue, especially breast tissue, which is nearly all fat,

also stores and harbors the toxins from the environment such as the food, air

and water.

The best place to start for a balanced Living Foods diet is David Wolfe's

Sunfood Triangle. Then intuitively tweak it to what your body needs. You

should feel great. Dr. David Jubb says you need 10% fat, 10% protein, 80%

complex carbs. When I started eating living foods two years ago, I needed a

lot

of fat. Now I am noticing that I am craving greens more and more, not very

much fruit, and the fat that I am craving is less and less.

 

 

 

 

I don't claim to be an " expert " or anything close, but a friend of mine

relayed the following to me:

 

A woman's body holds estrogen in FAT. That is why some runners and some raw

foodists lose their monthly cycle (not enough estrogen to maintain a cycle).

I suppose that is why having too much fat contributes to a spectrum of

cancers! Hormonal imbalance is not good and not healthy. It seems to me that

eating raw MUST include sufficient fat to stay healthy.

Raw nuts, avacados, and coconuts are good things to eat sufficiently.

 

Just my own two cents offered in love
