I'm combining the best ideas I've gleaned from Metabolic Typing, Mercola's No Grain book, Atkins, and Nourishing Traditions (NT) . What I'm doing is not for everyone, that's why I listed Metabolic Typing first. After lots of experimentation, I've finally learned I must avoid grains nearly totally, along with potatoes, any high carb beans and peas, and any COOKED vegetable or fruit that is highly glycemic after cooking, such as onions, carrots and apples. I can eat those raw but not cooked. I can eat any vegetable raw or cooked that does not turn glycemic, such as broccoli, cabbage. I am also avoiding soybean oil, canola and corn, and limiting myself to eating or cooking with coconut oil, olive, safflower, sunflower, peanut. For me, this is meat heavy because I'm a carnivore by nature. That can get boring and it can cause gout. I cured the gout with colostrum. Also, I drink raw dairy and raw dairy kefir. The information by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig in NT and Eat Fat Lose Fat helped me greatly and a lot of experimentation finally yielded recipes and cooking methods that I now love. Boredom with food is still an issue, but it's mostly an emotional issue that one must break. The cornerstone of my diet is a huge breakfast: Tenderloin or other steak (preferably organic grass fed) seared in coconut oil, or bacon or pork sausage that is raised without steroids, abx's and hormones; Eggs (homegrown eggs!) poached in coconut oil, or scrambled in CO & butter. Lots of tomatoes- if eating poached eggs, I oil-poach tomatoes in coconut oil, if eating scrambled eggs, I cover them up with salsa. Other meals- lots of flounder, deep fried in peanut oil but very lightly breaded, no milk or eggs to make breading thicker. Hamburgers sometimes, and organic chicken other times. Lots of homemade coleslaw, made with cabbage, carrots, broccoli, homemade olive oil mayo, Realsalt, coarse black pepper and celery seed, and a little Bragg vinegar. Afternoon snack is often juice of a grapefruit and a lemon, and fresh ground flax seed. It is a limited diet. Being overweight is more limiting. A limited choice of foods is offset by the fact that I love what I'm eating, and can eat all I want. It becomes self-fulfilling and self-limiting after a few weeks. If I fall off the wagon and eat something bad for me, the bad results are so obvious now that I lose the desire and would rather go hungry than do that again. If I find myself hungry with a few hours to get back home, I'm liable to skip eating so I can eat like I really want to at home. The food is expensive, but nothing close to eating out. I've lost 2 waist inches in a month. Weight is not so much a marker as inches. Eating like this will add bone and muscle mass. I'm in pants today that I grew out of a year ago, but I weigh almost ten pounds more than I did then, so weight is relative. When I started this, I did have a few mild detox things to happen. I think I have nearly killed off any remaining candida. Daddybob -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
