Fats and sugars at the same meal

[Guest guest]

I want to comment on the post regarding not eating fats and sweets at

the same meal. I receive these posts in batch format so I apologize for

not replying directly to the person who posted. I just returned from

the Tree of Life. They emphasize the need to eat a balance of protein,

carbs and fats every time you eat to keep your blood sugar level and

not get the peaks and valleys. So, Cousens, would not agree with the

idea that eating fats at one time and sweets at another would keep you

from getting candida. The point is to keep the blood sugar level, not

going up and down which would be the result of eating sweets by

themselves.

 

When one is ready to refine it they figure out how they metabolize food

and whether they are a slow, fast or mixed oxidizer. From this they can

then adjust the percentages of carbs, fats and protein to get the best

results from their diet. One of the important things is to learn to

listen to what your body tells you after you eat certain ways and then

adjust your eating patterns accordingly.

Hi Tammy,

 

Thanks for writing! Yes, I see from the Rainbow Green recipe

book that they mix fruit and fats A LOT. Gabriel Cousens

refers to Robert O. Young's work (including Sick and Tired)

several times in Rainbow Green, but apparently, Cousens has

his own take on how to stay balanced. As an aside, I've

tried eating only green smoothies (greens and fruit) and

more fruit for breakfast the last few days, and I've gotten

really hungry. I'm a fast oxidizer, so I guess I need to eat

heartier at breakfast if I don't want to feel that way! LOL!

 

I like where you said:

 

" The point is to keep the blood sugar level, not going up

and down which would be the result of eating sweets by

themselves. "

 

So that explains why the diet eliminates high-glycemic

fruits. What else did you learn there? Please share what you

can!

 

By the way, how was your experience at the Tree of Life? How

long were you there? Did you go to study or relax or both?

 

Love and light,

 

Jennifer
