"Life Without Bread"

[John G]

My wife and I started going no gluten/dairy, high meat, low carb, added supplements a couple months ago. My main motivation was getting a better immune system but I certainly didn't mind the weight loss although I did actually have the thought that the high for me weight might come in handy during a food shortage. I certainly though much prefer the better lungs, sinuses, bowels; whatever happens in the not too distant future, this is how I want to go into it.

My wife certainly recognizes too that a good immune system is important but she's having much more problems in the weight loss department. She and her sister kind of have the same problems with weight when not dieting, the difference is my sister in law can lose weight on most any diet and my wife can't. My sister in law though smokes and my wife doesn't (I don't either) so I'm thinking not smoking with a smoking genetics could be a problem for some too. Even if my wife did smoke though she could still have a higher than average natural weight for a good diet.

People like my Mother in Law who had diabetes and horrible health problems related to weight could certainly be working off Karma with the suffering.

I have been thinking about this too. I starved off 75 pounds in 9 months 7 years ago, which put me a little below an "overweight" BMI, and the weight loss itself felt good but the constant hunger made me miserable. I know that if I were to go back to that kind of diet, "miserable" is what would be waiting for me at the end, so I have not done that and now I am back up 40 pounds.

My daily carbs are down to 40-50g now most days, with room to go lower without too much trouble, and as far as I can tell I have stopped gaining weight even though my calorie intake has increased a little. At least I think I have. It takes time to be sure. I haven't given up the possibility of losing weight again but if I do it it is going to have to be by some means other than starving myself.

As far as I am concerned, low carbs and high fat is a better way to eat, not a way to lose weight. While I still feel heavy (because I am), I am free now of most food cravings (the strong ones, anyway) and that by itself is a good enough reason for me to continue to avoid most carbs. Probably most important is that when I am not feeling hungry, my brain works better.

I do think about all the goddess images from Ice Age times and all of them were really fat women. The ones on Malta were outstanding for their rotundity - to be polite about it.

So why?

Are "heavier" souls incarnating now - like heavy with karma or something?

Laura,are you meaning that spiritual advancement is related to the shape of a body?If so,Jesus and Mary might have been fat?What about Kennedy,G,Cayce,Gandhi,Diana,(Perceval,Andromeda...)etc?A contrario Elvis,Sharon!!! very disturbing indeed!

Thin people as me have to worry...I would add I'm on very low carbs diet for almost two months(dunno if I reached Ketosis yet,I doubt)with very high fat intake,90% meat etc..Ok I feel very much better now and my skin issues are improving fastly but I haven't gained one gram! :(

No, that's not what I mean or what I am implying. I'm just tossing out ideas here. Something is definitely going on. It may simply be the switch to evil fats and high carb eating and it's destroying Western civilization and those who don't figure it out are toast.

On the other hand, I AM curious about the goddess images.

 

[mcb]

I don't imagine anything!They are mainstream doctors,self-proclaimed healers instead of dealers officially ordained by consortium and I'm sure you already know that,so what the use to ask?

Because attributing something to "them" may be a sign that you have not thought very deeply about it, especially when you are experiencing an emotional reaction.

There is someone in my life that has been poisoned by psychiatric medications as well. I am very upset about it, but there is not much I can do now. Had I known more, years ago, I might possibly have been able to make a difference. But the question of "who did it" is deep and complex. The prescribing doctors have the same vulnerability to believing in "authority figures" that we all do. You can blame it on the "consortium" but that serves more as a placeholder than an explanation, I think. It's a question worth examining.

Yeah it seems related to that session from a couple years ago (30 May 2009):

Q: (L) What's next? (Discussion of lists of questions) (L) Oh! Once you mentioned that my metabolism, which required nicotine and which was so "thrifty" shall we say, was the ideal metabolism or genetics for a post-cataclysmic world. Now, my idea is that I don't like the idea of what you're saying there. It's almost like you're saying - in a post-cataclysmic world you're kind of reduced to the cave man state, and.... What's the deal there?

A: You missed it entirely. A "post cataclysmic" world can be a higher density world where you would receive the nutrients that your body would thrive on.

Q: (L) So you're saying that my metabolism, my genetics are actually designed for a higher density?

A: Yes

Q: (L) That's weird. And you also said at the same time that I would “give Ark the food” if the situation warranted - something like that. Did that have a multi-layered meaning?

A: Oh yes!

Q: (L) Well, are you gonna tell me?

A: Figure it out yourself!

{The reference is to session 27 June 1998 excerpt as follows:
Q: Okay, I will keep searching. Ark is mad at you guys, you
know. So, I would like to know what is the advantage, if
any, of this profile you have described - what is the
evolutionary advantage of having this sick metabolism?
A: Who says this is "sick?"
Q: Well, I am saying this loosely. I mean, it's not normal,
it's not natural, it's highly unusual... nearly everyone I
have ever met who has a weight problem also has an eating
problem and I can promise you that I don't!
A: Better metabolism for cat... Sorry, that was our attempt
at an abbreviation!
Q: What were you attempting to abbreviate?
A: Guess.
Q: {Laughter} Is channeling the first word?
A: CAT.
Q: Next letter?
A: How about post cat a clysmic world.
Q: Well, Ark doesn't have that metablolism... I don't want to
be in a post-cataclysmic world without him...
A: Then give heim the food.
Q: What food?
A: What food you have, if... confronted with the situation.
Q: Are you saying that we are gonna be hanging out on a post
cataclysmic planet?
A: That is always a possibility.}

Q: (L) Does it have something to do with being able to manifest or feed people energy literally?

A: Yes

Q: (S) So instead of visiting McDonalds, we'll go visit McLaura or something? (laughter)

A: Stop thinking third density.

Q: (Joe) Maybe it's like you'll be able to absorb nutrients from the environment and then somehow energetically give them to others.

A: Think of the Maruts and their baskets from "heaven".

{This reference is to material in “The Secret History of the World”}

Q: (L) So in other words, we're talking about being able to somehow manifest from higher dimensions or other dimensions, or direct manifestation of what is needed, i.e. the loaves and fishes?

A: More or less.

Q: (L) I'm assuming that means I'm going to rejuvenate. I'm a little tired for that sort of thing at this point!

A: Yes

Q: (L) That means I have to survive until that point in time. What other questions are on there on the list?

Miss Finlason, a well-known resident of Castlemaine, describes in the Harbinger of Light a seance held in her house at which the most remarkable apport was a cup and saucer, the former full of tea. The china was at once recognised by the medium as belonging to her, the tea was a cupful she had made at home two miles away just before leaving for the seance, but had forgotten to drink. Before it came she had mentioned to one of the sitters the fact that she had made, and forgotten it. At a previous sitting the most remarkable apport was a soup-plate containing twenty eggs, which Mrs Paton had left in her house two miles away. A further instance of eggs T brought as apports is given below. (See General" Lorrison's " circle.)
At one of Mrs. Paton's seances on April 6th, 1874, an iron wheel. weighing 16and a half lbs., fell with a crash on the table; it had been brought from the yard outside. On another occasion, two glasses were found on the table brimful of dark wine. The glasses and the wine were recognised as coming from a house about a mile away; there were none of the kind in the house of the seance. The glasses were perfectly dry on the outside and looked dusty.

Crawford paid great attention also to the correspondence between the weight of the ectoplasm emitted and the loss of weight in the medium. His experiments seemed to show that everyone is a medium, that everyone loses weight at a materializing seance, and that the chief medium only differs from the others in that she is so constituted that she can put out a larger ectoplasmic flow. If we ask why one human being should differ from another in this respect, we reach that barren controversy why one should have a fine ear for music and another be lost to all melody. We must take these personal attributes as we find them. In Crawford's experiments it was usual for the medium to lose as much as 10 or 15 lb. in a single sitting-the weight being restored to her immediately the ectoplasm was retracted. On one occasion the enormous loss of 52 lb. was recorded. One would have thought that the scales were false upon this occasion were it not that even greater losses have been registered in the case of other mediums, as has already been recorded in the account of the experiments of Olcott with the Eddys.

Now I'm probably miss remembering (because I can't find it) but I'm sure I read that mediums could loose weight in seances with or without ectoplasm? It struck me then that perhaps being of a certain weight would be useful for such things (and harmful to those who do not have mass to spare)? Anyway...that's a big fwiw

On the weight gain thing, I did wonder about gut flora. A few days ago my energy was flagging, and it seems some live pro-biotics have got me going again.....so I did some research.
I remember reading that (specific?) gut flora could contribute to weight gain. Some things I found that may or may not be useful.

Down The Rabbit Hole With Carnivorous Diets: Gut Flora

Monday, November 8, 2010 at 11:17AM


Something is becoming very clear to me. Our body fat is controlled by bacteria. Our immune system is regulated by bacteria. Inflammation can result by harmful bacteria. Autism may have a bacterial component. Forget insulin and blood sugar, maybe we should be asking ourselves how the food we're consuming is affecting our gut flora, rather than living in fear of an insulin spike.

Carnivorous diets (all-meat/zero-carb) take some heat from bloggers (including me) concerning their beneficial mechanisms, but what do they offer when it comes to gut health?

Almost immediately when I ventured on a carnivorous diet, my bathroom visits were less frequent and stool size dramatically decreased. Perhaps this could be considered a decrease in metabolic rate, but this phenomenon is common based on conversations I have had with other long-term carnivorous eaters.

My experience parallels nicely with the all-meat trial conducted at Bellevue hospital in 1928. Scientists noted similar findings about the feces of Stefansson and Karsten, both of whom undertook carnivorous diets for a year. Their stools changed consistency as well as odor:

"The fecal specimens during the period of the meat diet consisted of finely divided material with a mild acid, aromatic odor, generally inoffensive, and with a reaction varying from neutral to moderately acid"

Next, scientists dug through their fecal matter for a bacterial count:

"Direct microscopic counts of bacteria showed within from seven to ten days a decrease of about 50 per cent in the total number of bacteria."

Bacteria decreased by 50% in ten days on a meat diet cooked to medium. What happened to all that bacteria? It seems that common probiotic strains such as L. acidophilus and B. bifidus are dependent on carbohydrates for their metabolism:

"As shown by both microscopic and cultural examinations, the decrease in bacterial numbers was due to the suppression of types largely dependent on carbohydrate for their metabolism, such as L. acidophilus and B. bifidus, enterococci, streptococci and a group of micro-aerophil bacteria."

Consuming a carnivorous diet caused their bodies to shed un-needed strains in favor of meat digesting flora:

"B. zelchii was clearly favored by the meat diet for several months, for A the estimated count being from 10 to 10,000,000 times that of the preliminary period of mixed diet and for S from 100 to 10,000 times."

It's interesting to note that the men didn't necessarily lose more bacteria as the experiment went on. I wonder if altering the cooking temperature from medium would have any significant impact on the experiment.

Along with decreased amounts of carbohydrate-consuming bacteria, a diet very low in refined carbohydrates will decrease hydrogen production in the gut. Less hydrogen leaves less food for pathogenic bacteria to feast on.

Moreover, carnivorous diets are coupled with high amounts of antibacterial animal fat, which contains palmitoleic acid, a potent antimicrobial.

Do carnivorous diets have overlooked therapeutic benefits when it comes to optimizing (or restoring) the ecosystem of the gut? Maybe. I will continue to explore questions like these in the upcoming weeks.

There are a few other things I ran across to with diseases (such as heart disease) being linked to how your gut bacteria processed food.....so I wonder if part of this high carb diet (and environmental/toxic/gmo) changes to our gut bacteria aren't partly to blame for weight gain and other 'western diseases'?

Having said all that, I am curiouse about possible symbolic meanings (iceage?) of the general population getting heavier and have always been curiouse about those goddess statues/images.
For the average person on a toxic diet though.....could it be a warning from the universe? (you'll need this fat to survive in caves)....or something acting like a false ligand to trigger it prematurely? I just get the feeling that whatever the reason of the weight gain....if it is useful to the future its been corrupted by the western diet.....if in fact its not just a symptom of that.

The point is perhaps weight gain is a symptom of good and bad cosmic/global changes? Used for 'food' in 4D (as per the C's quote above) or 'food' in 3D in caves under glowing skies. The only difference being the knowledge the person holds?

The point of this diet may be to survive earth changes and conduct enough cosmic influences so this realm can rebalance toward STO.

That's fascinating, Redfox! Reminds me of this:

Q: Next question: is there any relationship between the fact
that Roger de Mortimer, the carrier of the last of the
line of the Welsh kings, was the lover of Isabella of
France, who was the daugther of Philip the Fair, the
destroyer of the Templars, and the murder of Edward II,
the first of the English Prince of Wales?
A: Templars are a setup, insofar as persecution is concerned.
Remember your "historical records" can be distorted, in
order to throw off future inquiries, such as your own.
Q: I know that. I have already figured that one out! But,
it seems that no one else has made this connection. I
mean, the bloodlines that converge in the Percys and the
Mortimers are incredible!
A: You should know that these bloodlines become parasitically
infected, harrassed and tinkered with whenever a quantum
leap of awareness is imminent.
Q: Whenever a quantum leap...
A: Such as "now."

That fits with my gut feeling on this too.....its like putting a jigsaw together with only a few outside pieces. I can see a shape forming but have no idea to the exact details yet.
With the quote above, I can already see another few pieces.

From the link in the first article about the study.
_http://inhumanexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/09/two-brave-men-who-ate-nothing-but-meat.html

[..]No physical fatique or problems sticking to the diet were experienced by the two men. Only when the protein content of the diet increased substantially (45% of calories, 55% fat) did problems with digestion occur. Replacing excess protein with fat (20% protein, 80% fat) quickly resolved them, however.
[..]In general, the men were in ketosis whenever the ratio of fat to carbohydrates was over 1.5. With the extremely small amounts of carb in their diets, no definite relation between the amount of acetone bodies and the ratio of fat to carbs was found. Stefansson's friend, who was smaller and had less subcutaneous fat, had the highest sustained ketosis.
[..]

So a few things to conclude...the whole anti-fat in food campaign (with the same flavour as anti-smoking) keeps people completely out of (if not miles away from) ketosis. Infact I doubt there are many people in the western world who are in ketosis! Even if they eat meat...its usually lean.
One of the comments on that post talked about starvation and the period where the body switches from processing carbohydrates to ketosis (which has measurable levels of ketones in the urine)....once adjusted there are no ketones in the urine because the body is utilising them all. Eskimo's eating fat showed no transition in times of famine, because they had already adjusted.
Perhaps if there was a 'sudden famine' this would cause enough psychological shock (due to the bodies transition transition) to either kill or disable most people (even if just mentally). A physical version/part of soul smashing? Not to mention the emotional/psychological shock.

Anyway, that's all the pieces of this puzzle I can see right now.

The diet itsself is going quite well, and as of the last few days I feel like a totally new person. So y'all hang in there for the transition faze (extra l-carnatine or probitoics help if you flagging, as well as snacking on fat - I ate coconut oil whenever I had a craving or felt groggy).

That emphasizes what we were talking about earlier today here in the house - and which actually comes up quite a bit - HOW to get more fat in ratio to meat. Geeze, the cows have been bred to have less fat... I've asked the butcher to use the fattiest pieces when he makes my ground meat, but it is still not fatty enough. Fat gets trimmed all the time and I've had to put a stop to that. We feel best, it seems, when we eat fatty pork or lamb.

But clearly, I've got to do even more to get the higher fat content into everybody.

 

[Laura]

I'm also thinking that, obviously, anti-candida treatments and so on would be obviated completely on this diet. After a few months, there wouldn't be a single candida organism alive in the body!!!

 

[nicklebleu]

Maybe that all means that we need to replace the carbs preferentially with fat rather than proteins - not all of it, of course, but to a higher proportion.

And I must remind myself too, that all these changes need time - the graphs in LWB show a timeline of many months to years. Also the longer one has been on the high-carb death diet, the longer it will take for his/her body to adjust - not to speak of all the artificial fats that we all have accumultaed in our cell membranes (and we don't know how difficult or easy it is to exchange them once we are on a healthy fat diet).

Exactly, grass feed cow are much leaner than grain feed one. The meat we buy is so lean, even the ground meat for burger is as lean as filet mignon. I ordered suet to make pemmican and was wondering what percentage of fat, protein and carbs could be considered to maximize the energy. Every meal I make lately, I add fat either duck or pork from bacon and make a rich sauce so to add more fat. As well, since adding fat in all meal, my stomach feel more full and don't need to eat between meal even if I chop wood all day (literally).

This is such a change for me, we adopted a high fat and protein last fall but I did not cut enough on the carbs and I think that the fat protein ratio was leaning to much on the protein side. Last week was difficult and I realized that I was going trough some withdrawal, I was moody and had a headache for a few day. Reaction to cutting carbs were worst than stopping coffee or wine or anything else. I really realized last week how addictive it is but the symptom are receding now and I feel more certain that I will get my carbs to less then 72 per day.

I have actually had to add butter to my hamburger patties while cooking them to make them taste decently and to get them to cook without burning. I don't see anything but super-lean or extra lean ground beef anymore. But using the butter makes them delicious!

I have to admit, the low-fat programming is so ingrained that it has been difficult. I am still almost waiting to fall over any minute from fat consumption . So many of my family have had heart conditions that I was always worried about eating too much meat and fat. It's really helped to read the book and to understand the real science behind this - but its going to take some time to get over the program. I can understand how many people will find it difficult to make the change and am so glad that SOTT is carrying so many articles showing the fallacy of the low-fat diet.

I bought the L-carnitine and have had no more instances of leg-cramping and am also taking plenty of digestive enzymes which has helped make the transition easier. The coconut oil really helps as I can eat a spoonful to keep me going while I am cooking. I have also noticed that I don't get hungry so often. I had low-blood sugar issues for years and had to eat something every few hours or get faint. It's going to be wonderful not to experience that anymore!

Pork.

Some particular sorts of pigs have more fat (don't know the names, but whites ones). Also pigs are much easier to own and grow than cows, needs just a little yard. In Serbia, where I live, usual sort of meat is pork and lamb, very rare cow. People in villages usually grow some number of pigs for the family and to sell, but no more than 4-5 a year (no need). They also use pork lard almost exclusively. You can also see at the butcher are they making the cracklings (I hope that I got the word right).
