"Life Without Bread"

[forge]

Can no longer tolerate home-made chocolate. Nibbling a bit causes feeling sick in the gut, a dull phantom-diarrhea pain. Getting ALC and GABA with the meat-soup in the morning. A food-coma follows, then I have a clear mind and the clarity of thinking seems to have increased with losing bad foods.

Tried sunflower seeds last night, it tasted sour, acidic, evil, felt 'incompatible with my body', so stopped short. Mustard if eaten half tablespoon is tolerated, otherwise there is a distinct stinging pain in the stomach. Down to meat/fatty soup and eggs, closer to The List.

Used Ylang-Ylang Bali soap for the first - and last - time on head, caused a red skin allergic reaction all over. Coincided with the dietary sensitivity changes. :)

I had problems at the beginning of these changes at working out if I was full/eating enough (seems I've had them for years)....so it may be worth experimenting with eating more fat (as you are using a lot of energy in the day) - and perhaps even more protein (as you need it for your muscles) and perhaps even more carbohydrates (although keeping it under 100g) until you stop the weight loss....
This is what I'd consider doing. My life style is quiet sedentary, so for me exercise has helped.

If you are unable to eat more, perhaps some digestive support (ox bile/HCI) would help. Focusing on gut healing (l-glutamine) and liver support (milk thistle/nac/vitamin c) may also be something to consider/look into.

Inflammatory foods also have the effect of making me loose weight (nuts, eggs, butter, peas/beans, some fibre/vegetables....or so it seems). Presumably they inflame my intestines and stop me absorbing nutrients.

Lastly, are you drinking enough water daily? Weight loss can occur through dehydration - it is very serious when it does.

I started taking L-glutamine about two weeks ago. And I I take a liver support supplement, NAC, and C.

I do eat some nuts: Almonds, pecans and brazil nuts. Even when I have high-fat meals I still feel empty some time. I buy the fattiest meats I can find. I asked the meat guy at the food co-op to see if he could get some beef fat to use to supplement my meals. It's been a month at least. He says he has to wait until they kill an animal, then he said they use most of the fat for ground beef. I could get fat a supermarket butcher shop but that wouldn't be organic. How the world has changed that it is hard to get plain old fat.

I drink plenty of distilled water so I don't think dehydration is an issue

Mac,
I want to tell you some of the things I reported to Psyche in Barcelona. I have the same diet as Redfox I began as soon as it came out on the forum (except that i'm not hungry between meals and eat rather beef cracklings, the available pork being partly cereal -triticale- fed).
But before the fat diet, I hat trouble loosing weight all the time and the only remedy I knew each time I reached 46 kg for 1.66 meter was to eat potatoes with as much butter on each slice as the potatoe volume. I ate buckweat crepes with butter all my life (being french), and I have been a dancer all my life, so I can tell even healthy exercice did not help.
What helped ? Psyche's IODINE research thread. The moment I began putting transdermal iodine, the worry with the weight loss was over, completely. My muscles began to rebuild, and the osteopath told me amazed it was no more the same body he was working on. I was still very thin, but no more skinny. I'm soon 60 years old.
Then when the fat diet began my whole body rebuilt. I'm normal now. Like Redfox I've seen since one month a fat layer coming all over my body... naturally preparing for the winter fasting I guess.

Now dear Redfox,
The Iodine connection links to your "Cold to the bone thread" too. I was also cold to the bones, like my fingers and feet bones were literally freezing, in a horrible pain, while others were out without gloves and at ease. I wondered how I would manage to survive the first colds of the ice age.
Five minutes after putting transdermal iodine on my legs or buttocks, the cold to the bone sensation was over, completely. And a warmth wave overwhelmed my whole body. I promised Psyche I will report this in the corresponding threads, I'll do asap.

I still remember the cute lie you told me to share your strawberry sorbet... Prior to Iodine and Fat diet, I could never eat ice cream (or just have ice cubes in a water glass), not only my teeth would have ached, I would also be cold and shake in the middle of the hot summer, and feel exhausted.

Danse la vie

I take an Iodine supplement named Sea Iodine. It claims 1000mcg. Transdermal Iodine sounds interesting but from a few searches seems to prescription only. Where do you get it?

I could be wrong here, but I think it's okay to have more protein, to eat more basically, until you are full. You can also have a meal every couple of hours or so. Bummer that it's hard for you to find healthy fats, maybe you can do some googling around to see if you can find anything nearby that might sell organic lard or anything? You may also think about having wild caught fish now and then.

Also, did you read this article on nuts? http://www.sott.net/articles/show/235633-Another-Reason-You-Shouldn-t-Go-Nuts-on-Nuts

Hope all will turn alright for you Mac!

Hi forge, may I ask what you mean with home-made chocolate?

 

[liffy]

I don't think it's a good advice for Mac to quit nuts, at least until he finds some form of fat source that allows him to crank up his calories significantly without them.

My advice is to increase protein quite a bit, and substituting meat with wild caught fish in some of your meals. If you don't have access to fresh fish, you can probably get cans with brisling or herring; they're quite cheap as well.

...How the world has changed that it is hard to get plain old fat...

With the animals being bred for less fat, "for your protection," it is becoming a VERY big problem. I am also finding it difficult to find organic meat "on the bone" (where many important nutrients reside). The bones are being removed "for convenience."

At the same time, I keep hearing more and more sources saying "we need to eat less meat." It is scary watching this develop.

Mac, can you tolerate butter? If yes, I'd advice you to find some organic brand and put it on everything you eat. That's what I do. This will increase your fats intake.

 

[Laura]

Mac, put thick slabs of butter on your meat and eat more pork instead of beef.

Added: eat more ham. Eat ham with butter on it. Have a dish of melted butter by your plate and dip your bites of meat in it.

 

[Gertrudes]

Or ghee if you can't tolerate butter. Try to get it (butter or ghee) organic and grass fed, it makes a world of difference.

Another idea is to get some smoked fish. Mackerel when smoked, for example, tends to have a higher percentage of fat then protein. It could be from the brand that I buy, but in any case my guess is that the percentage of fat will always be high.

Have you tried ordering online from a local provider? I am switching to online order, otherwise I won't get organic fatty meat, organs and bones as no local butcher sells them.

Bottom line is: if you are feeling hungry, you aren't eating enough, especially not enough fats!!!!

That certainly explains why I've been feeling less and less hungry by the day. Recently I've found it hard to even finish my dinner although I had a sneaky suspicion that I was eating too much for dinner anyway (some of those pork chops can be pretty big). It seems my body has adjusted properly though. Energy level is still there and my digestion is good as well but I haven't reached for that midnight snack in over a week now so I must be doing something right. :)

The Art and Science of low carbs living:
The human body stores fat for reserve energy to sustain
itself if there is nothing else to eat, and our bodies seem to favor the
storage of monounsaturates over other classes of fatty acids. Monounsaturates,
along with saturates, appear to be what our cells want to burn
when they are adapted to burning mostly fat. Oolichan grease is rich in
monounsaturates, and thus is more like human fat than anything else in
the region. Thus oolichan grease appears to have an ideal fat composition
for humans who consume a diet appropriately rich in fat.

While reading above it occurred, if mono-unsaturated fats are also favored by our bodies to be stored in fat cells, they must be sensitive to light. To same extent as olive oil is, (being mono-unsaturated fat). So getting too much sun might not be too good for health as this fat might become damaged in our fat cells. The C's mentioned sun rays are very bad for longevity, our best chances would be living under the earth - in large cave cities - for really long shelf life and no damage from the Sun.

To my knowledge, as long as fat cells are within a living body, there is no risk of 'spoilage'.

Could you quote that session, since I think you might be confusing things a bit?

 

[curious_richard]

Maybe these two?

March 4, 1995 (Session 950304)

Q: (L) It was stated that the earth once had a water vapor canopy. Was this one of the reasons for longevity in that time?
A: Yes, and already answered this. Review transcripts.
Q: (L) What are the effects of sunlight on the human body now as opposed to then?
A: Degenerative.
Q: (L) Does that mean that we should avoid sunlight because we no longer have our canopy?
A: You cannot avoid enough to matter.
Q: (T) It's everywhere, all day long. (F) When you are inside you are still exposed to radiation. The radiation in the air is leftover junk from the light rays coming in. (T) The radiation is everywhere, even at night. ...

August 8, 1995 (Session 950808)

A: Please be aware that in the state of being that you currently occupy, and in the environment in which you currently reside, as third density beings, there are many environmental stresses upon your physical being, which you often overlook. And, focus on any particular one is rather pointless without focusing on the remainder. So, therefore, perhaps it is wise not to focus on any at all unless you wish to choose the other path, which is to attempt to focus on all, and this can be most difficult. So, as you are zeroing in, as it were, on one area, such as electronic anti-pest devices, is understandable, but rather futile unless you also wish to focus on food intake, smoking, the pollutants of mechanical devices, of sunlight, the thinning of the ozone, vibrations from sound pollution and a myriad of other consequences that you normally overlook and put out of your mind. It is not necessary to become worried about
any given environmental occurrence.

 

[anart]

Thanks, curious_richard, I had recalled those particular sessions, but I'm still curious about which session forge might be referring to with lengthened life spans, specifically underground. It seems to me that the point the C's were making was that, by definition, incarnation in 3D on this planet is damaging to the physiology - the body, but that it's just part and parcel of this environment. Hopefully he can post the session he's thinking of - I know they mentioned lengthened life spans off-planet, but that's all I can recall at the moment.

I have looked into ordering duck fat. Amazon has many offerings but the shipping charges are nearly as much
as the product itself. Anyone know a reasonable cost/shipping source for duck fat in the US?

I stopped eating peanuts and feel better for it. If my meals satisfied my hunger better I probably would not need almonds.

Mac, put thick slabs of butter on your meat and eat more pork instead of beef.

Added: eat more ham. Eat ham with butter on it. Have a dish of melted butter by your plate and dip your bites of meat in it.

Maybe this is the ticket. This evening I had an organic chicken breast, fried in coconut oil, and dipped each bite in melted butter. I feel very full, did not need any supplemental almonds. Maybe with more fat I'll put on a little weight. :)

The butter I have is not organic. I'll look for some when I go the co-op next week.

I eat wild caught (at least that is what it says on the package) salmon. Usually with a sprinkle of lemon juice. Maybe I'll try dipping this in butter as well.

Bottom line is: if you are feeling hungry, you aren't eating enough, especially not enough fats!!!!

Ok, I'm ratcheting up the fats! Meat dipped in butter is delicious, by the way.
