"Life Without Bread"

[Miss.K]

Just one thing I've noticed, about 'sweet cravings'... As I said, I was never a fan of sweets, never even used anything to sweeten my coffee or tea. But when I started this diet, for few days I had a sudden, strong urge for eating something sweet! I NEVER had that before! It was such a strange thing to observe. Now, after some time on the diet, the same urge sometimes rises when I miss my breakfast. Not so strong, but it's craving for the sweet non the less.

I had the same thing happen too, and realised pretty quickly that it was my bodies way of saying "I'm hungry/out of energy". So would eat a spoonful of fat whenever I got those cravings.

Thank you RedFox, I should have said in my experience, instead of talking generally in my last post, and I had read Alices post as well....And I realise that I had the Apple period as well, which was sugar cravings I guess.

I find that I'm catching myself lying (not deliberately) all the time when writing on the forum, I guess it is part of the work (the catching one self, not the lying that is).
I am very embarrassed every time, and it makes me scared of ever writing anything again. But I guess that he who learns must suffer....

That's why I prefer to buy unsalted and then add Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan...

The nice thing about the Himalayan Salt is that it doesn't have that sharp salty taste, actually slightly sweet. Much easier to be liberal with it. The minerals that come with it are a great bonus too.

When I have cravings, I suspect that maybe I am low on vitamins. One thing I try is a glass of {beverage} with a teaspoon each of ascorbic acid, magnesium citrate, and MSM. I may also take one or two vitamin D pills (5000 IU each).

I also like Himalayan salt. It tastes great! I used to use soy sauce for salt and flavor, but now I like the Himalayan salt is just as well or better.

I'm wondering if someone else developed some problems with hemorrhoids since changing the diet? Cause since changing the diet I'm a lot more constipated (1 max. 2 times a week), which could be a factor of developing hemorrhoids, sometimes there is light red blood, which I assume is a likely factor for them, at the beginning I first assumed it is an allergic reaction.

But the symptoms vary sometimes, that the itchiness isn't bothering me all the time (most often it starts in the evening), sometimes there is a break of days and also a week or weeks.

This is what Cordain (2005) wrote for example:

Diets low in dietary fiber may underlie or exacerbate constipation, appendicitis, hemorrhoids, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, diverticulitis, hiatal hernia, and gastroesophageal reflux (172).

Has someone an idea what to do?

At the moment I only take from time to time Magnesium oil as supplement and daily vitamin C with added salt in my drink. And every 3 days I use a fir-sauna a 25' with 50°C.

I think we've covered this in the thread here, but the short version is: if you are having enough fat, you shouldn't be having this problem.
I went through a similar spell that resolved after a bit. I just increased my magnesium and vitamin C AND fat!

Hello Gawan,

do you take any probiotics? Some premium probiotics may help with your constipation, as well as taking magnesium regularly and in a larger dose than 400 mg which is a usual recommended RDA value. You might try taking 800 mg per day and see if it helps. I found out that taking 800 mg of high potency magnesium citrate before my bed time and then having 2g of premium probiotics in the morning, followed with some herbal tea with lots of vit C and eating lots of fat keeps me regular.

I used to have hemorrhoid problems before, but from often diarrhea, not constipation and from long hours of sitting during my work; didn't find a proper relief from that state until switching into this diet, when the problem cured itself within 2 weeks. Also, are you doing some light exercise, as the one from the EE program? I'm sure others will have more advices, hope this helps a little ;)

Once you stop the microwave oven, the water molecules continue their vibratory movement for some time. If you eat the dish immediately, you eat, in fact, a food that still vibrates. In a pot, you're going up to 110 or 120 ° C in a fat French fries, you reach 180 or 190 ° C. Locally, the food placed in a microwave oven as high as 1000 ° C. Imagine how often vibrate the molecules of a dish cooked in the microwave, imagine the number of fractures that occur at the peptide bonds of the food.

WHO recommends wait twelve minutes before eating food cooked in the microwave because of the huge vibrational agitation of the food. If you eat something that vibrates too much, this vibration is propagated by resonance effect, the water molecules that are in your stomach and tissues. This can cause genetic mutations within your organization.

MK Scarlett,
Do not worry
Water molecules rotation dissipates into the heat in less than a nanosecond. If it did not, it would not absorb the microwave energy in the first place.
An yes, do wait few minutes before eating any cooked meal, whether microwaved or baked, to save you tongue from burning. :)
That does not mean though that microwaving cannot make some non-physical changes to your food.
:/

[...] Locally, the food placed in a microwave oven as high as 1000 ° C.[...] About from the book by Jean-Jacques Crèvecoeur, The Language of Healing, Geneva, Youth, 2001.

Is not it disturbing you to read that your food placed in your microwave oven as high as 1000°C, which is 1832°F? From my understanding, this is not the good way to cook food slowly and not too warm required to keep nutriments. And the water contained in our food will have its "message" totally changed by the molecular motion generating heat. Water also have "informations" to give as everything...

Just for more data, here is what the C's had to say about microwaved food back in 1995:

Q: (L) Is microwaved food harmful to the person who
consumes it?
A: Not much.

Water also have "informations" to give as everything...

You may want to take the above with a grain of salt. There are a few discussions on Emoto here on the forum, his information isn't very accurate from what I understand.

Actually, once you get fully switched to Paleo, usual probiotics aren't very useful since they are sold to help people digest indigestible fiber. Taking them for a few days after antibiotics might be useful, but otherwise, best thing is enzymes and HCL.

Thank you anart. I did not remember this C's sentence specifically, but I should have to read The Wave (1,2 & 3) a second time very soon. Also thanks for the grain of salt.

Does anyone know anything which could help in this way about Viktor Shauberger's works?

Okay thanks. I will count the fat intake now and increase the other stuff firsthand, but it is likely a mirror of my current psychological situation as well.

Also, are you doing some light exercise, as the one from the EE program? I'm sure others will have more advices, hope this helps a little ;)

Yes I'm walking or cycling most often to university or to other things.

I just did a search on the forum for schauberger and came up with 16 results, so there might be a few threads that might interest you. Note the "c" in the name between the "s" and "h", to ensure you have the spelling right, otherwise you might not get any hits.

Thank you Gonzo, am I stupid, why did not I thought to make a research here on the forum? :/ Good to remind, thanks again. ;)

Good to know, I started them three months ago during the implementation of the diet paleo and thought stop them at the end of the box. Which is soon...

After three months of full diet of sugar, dairies and carbs, I can say I already have effects, and a lot of good effects, actually:
I am not cold anymore, as I used to be before...
My articulations are much better, I can sit down again in tailor without obtaining a pain in the hip and in right knee...
My teeth do not hurt me anymore (I used to take honey as only one sugar)...
I lost the stomach which I had had always since the birth of my first child and I have no more problem of transit, digestion or constipation...
I am more lively so physically as psychically and my concentration strikingly improved...
It is like a delivrance.

After have been vegetarian during four years, I also started again to eat meat from three months. Slowly at the beginning, and now twice by day, I will eat egg/bacon as soon as I will feel ready on the breakfast I guess. So, it was not so complicated to me, I had no negative effects due to the re-introduction of meat in my food. I find the taste of giblets as the heart, the liver, or still the sausage, very important "hénémique" (I do not know the word in English for this last one) iron source.
I also privilege onions, leeks, garlic as vegetables with some French beans from time to time.

My husband and my younger daughter also follow me during this adventure, and it helps so much to have their support, thank you all for the works which are much precious for all of us.

Butter

I'm on the second day of butter testing. Food cravings stopped completely. My brain works excellent on this super-food. No more eye-sores from over-straining. I went out and bought the most expensive Irish butter for 2.2 Euro (200grams). Tastes like heaven. Mild discomfort in stomach and a lot of gurgling. Must mention that i'm also eating the butter with xylitol, remainder of cocoa, Vit.C, calcium-lactium mix. Also eating the remainder of my buckwheat with eggs (crepes-like) since running out of saved money. Hope being able to continue paleo in near future.

Craving for excessive carbs also subsided with eating butter. I was bingeing on 'Mercy' (2-3 piece from the 250gram package) and other chocolate pieces on every night during Christmas, because had to do translations and writing CV's, doing graphics/info AD's for selling our house, all this required heavy brain-work.

With butter since two days brain-work is a breeze, just have to watch my stomach and guts sensitivity signals.
