You say 4 pounds in 2 weeks like it's a bad thing. Actually that's a
relatively rapid weight loss. I'm no expert on low carb eating, but I do
know from experience that if you've been eating a lot of carbs and then
suddenly cut back you can expect to experience diminished energy for a
while. Much better idea to taper off them gradually, and make sure you still
get some carbs, preferably in the form of fruit and veggies.


Well, actually, in accordance with my records, I was able to lose 12
pounds in 5 days in the past on a completely different weight-loss
approach. So 4 pounds in 2 weeks is comparatively low.

Note that the first five pounds you lose on almost any diet will be
glycogen and water from your liver. Unfortunately, it can be put back
on very fast.

Making yogurt at home is easy and inexpensive compared to the cost of
the prepared yogurt. Do a quick web search and you'll find a couple
of good techniques. As long as you warm milk fresh from a sealed
container, you don't even need to scald it. Pasteurization and
ultra-pasturization are the norm now.

Homemade yogurt will still contain sugar; it's a natural consituent of the
milk.

Told you it was good. I'm of the opinion that the only way the

eat commensurate amounts of garlic and tomatoes. Low zinc levels can

Actually, the way the Italians get away with eating huge amounts of pasta
is by not doing it. In Italy, pasta is mainly used as a side dish in
portions that most Americans would consider tiny.

Indeed. That 5 pounds will tend to stay off for as long as one's following
the new regimen, but there's no (reasonably healthy) diet I know of that
would result in a consistent loss of more than 2 pounds a day over time.

Are the vegetables raw though? Cooking a vegetable makes your body produce a
acidic response upon ingestion. Most raw vegetables produce a alkaline
effect in your system.

Eating unripe fruit produces a very acidic effect also whereas most vine
ripened fruit is alkaline. Freshly squeezed lemon juice produces a good
alkalinizing effect. (here comes the flames...LOL)

There's a tremendous amount of fad-quack horse**** out now claiming
you can, or need to, alter the pH of your "system", tissues, or blood,
by eating different foods or taking supplements. This is complete
bull****. All you can alter is the pH of your urine, and to some
extent the acidity of your stomach. The pH of blood and tissues is
regulated by the body within an *extremely* small margin, outside of
which you can't live, and you can't change it by eating this veggie
or that supplement.

Not bull****.

Complete bull****.

This is pretty basic stuff which is not widely known about.

Because its complete bull****.

Certain foods produce an acid residue which leads to
many degenerative diseases like rheumatism, gout, arthritis,
osteoporosis, headaches and inability to absorb other minerals.

Mindless pig ignorant bull****.

I've been reading about blood acidity for over 30 years, beginning
with nature guru Paul Bragg.

No, because it is suppressed wholistic information.

Not really. Do some reading on it and learn something.

Just because some quack makes some stupid pig
ignorant claim doesnt make it gospel any time soon.

That fool Ghandi used to drink his own ****,
and that stupid approach has been around
for a hell of a lot longer than that fool Bragg.

Yeah, yeah, its all a gigantic conspiracy cooked up by jews
in smoke filled rooms to make us sick as dogs so we will
have to buy heaps of stuff from the pharmaceutical companys.

Nothing to 'learn' in that pile of steaming turds.

Complete and utter pig ignorant drivel.

Fails even the most obvious test. Plenty outside the
first world dont have the sort of diet that fool rants about
AND THEY STILL GET DEGENERATIVE DISEASE

And you're so stupid that you cant even work that out for yourself.
