The REO Lounge - Part III

[FeistyAlice]

It was a tough sell to convince me to give Primal a try. But having a daughter that was practicing and noticing such differences made me listen. It was not just her, it was her husband and kids too.

Wheat is just not the best thing for us. What it does, causes is damaging to our bodies. Our stomachs, and intestines are not made to digest wheat.

I feel the results. And so does every member of my family that is on Primal.

I have grandchildren with all kinds of allergies. One has celiac disease. I feel that as humans ate foods that were not good for their digestive systems they, over time, developed disorders and disease.

With your problems it sure would be a good test to try something that just might work.

(edit) for some reason my phone won't show whole message for edit. CORRECTION We are now doing coconut milk.

We've been low carb, few grains except rare ocassions for over a decade, even little rice. Only simple sugars allowed in house for that time was ocassional small quantities of candy, an ocassional carry out dessert, and of course my white wine. Stevia, agavie, Splenda, saccharin for us and white sugar only for the hummers. Massive quantities of Beer-ritas only lasted a few months at The Oasis and DH stayed very vocally disapproving the whole time. A loaf of mixed grain, no sugar bread will last us over a month with part of it thrown over deck for critters when we want fresh but not doing that now as it draws in the coyotes. We have two half loafs of month old GF bread in fridge now. We only started doing a few grains when we went total GF a few months ago. I was GF much of 2012. Frankly neither of us are overly sensitive to gluten but consume it sparingly on rare ocassions now and know well the long term affects it most likely has. Until I did some potatoe bombs last month our average white potatoe consumption, for each of us, was maybe two a year. We eat a lot of yams with only salt, pepper and a little good margarines, most usually olive oil based. We do a lot of olive oil.

Two microwaved eggs with parmesan to kick start the day with almost pure protein.

I got two small frozen Sara Lee cakes for Sissy and Archie. Sissy and I each split the remaining piece last night. I'm paying for that mildly today. It was Key Lime cake; very light and not very sweet but oh so yummy.

Discounting my wine DH and I, eating our normal "diet" without any restrictions consume, in a year, carbs, sugars, wheat and gluten, what many people consume in a week. My excess sugars and carbs come from white wine and more recently the OJ I'm mixing with it (I get the not from concentrate with added calcium and Vit D or fresh squeeze at home). DH goes through about 2 gallons of v8 a week. Not kidding. I need to drink more as I love it.

Lactose is major trigger for IBS now days so I'm researching which cheeses cause least issues. Cheese is major source of protein and snacks for us. Before we started extreme low carb, Atkins,

About "fat" just about every excess calorie goes to fat stores. Some just faster than others especially simple sugars, simple carbohydrates, and most fats. Key word is "excess." Least sugars absorbed and least to cause insulin production (what the body uses to break down sugars) is alcohol sugars. Main downside of many of those is laxative affect so best used sparingly.

Wheat and its gluten, untill mid 20th century, was a healthy staple. Gluten sensitivity was rare. Mid Century virtually all wheat produced for the masses was/is hybrids that are less damaged by wind (shorter stalks) and drought and more resistant to insects, blights, molds, etc., and increased production per plot of land. They hit the world almost overnight without any testing as to how any animals' bodies respond to ingesting them on regular basis. Studies are being done but nothing conclusive enough yet. Lots of small studies being done with alarming implications. There are a few small farms around the world that produce the non hybrids but not enough produced to feed a village let alone the world. Good book to read is "Wheat Belly."

Karen, several decades ago we had a couple of books titled something like the "Caveman Diet." Makes a lot of sense if one believes in evolution as humanoids evolved for hundreds of thousands of years eating much differently than we do in past few centuries, for most foods. I say "believes in evolution" because, shockingly, more and more people, are moving to creationism, rejecting elvolution with the belief that the earth is only a few thousand years old. In other words "man" walked with dinosaurs.

Hi all! Sorry been awol work has been really really busy. Thouht id chime in on my diet experience and say allo! So in 2011 I was 297 pounds. I started doing a gradual change into removing all sugar and moving to a low carb diet. This worked pretty good for a while. I switched gears into a strict Atkins diet from then up until a few months ago. I got down to 230 ish pounds. Felt great but I feel I am falling back into the same old bad trap. I find myself eating candy soda and drinking beer more and more often. My atkins buddy got sent to another country and since then my self control is gone. Maybe ill try out this primal diet and count on reoville as my diet buddies! ; D. My 2 cents

My buddy found some sort of e-juice additive that is supposed to work like an appetite suppressant. He'll be back tomorrow. I'm going to check it out and if it seems legit after some research I am going to whip up a batch. Will let you know what it's called and if it works.

Jen, after having 6-12 houseBubs (and full time help), for 30 years, three is a magic number. We downsized in sizes and numbers out of necessity; money and us aging. Life was so much simpler with three. When Jake Mastiff was a year old DH feel in love with 7 week old Lily Heeler and HAD to bring her home. Next day I went and got her littermate Rosie. With four highly intellegent very active working dogs and a Giant, who thinks he's a Doodle, all close in age, life has been, for the most part, riotous, most usually fun though. Cost has doubled and time requirments have tripled or more.

Believe me, we know the puppy virus all too well!!!! I've had several chances to take in already raised and trained Doodles who get along with my pack but resisted AND it was so very hard to exercise restraint. Auntie Chaco was bonus 3/4 dog but raised them and taught them manners and helped to develop such a balanced pack. Only issue created was she hogged the prime spot beside Momma too much. And sometimes she came in really smelly from rolling in dead things in the woods but I kept enzyme spray handy. Not that my Bubs are all that clean.

Think hard on bringing in a fourth. It's much easier to have three or less doggie sat, too. Get yourself totally fixed (back) and increase of income before committing, please. I know I don't really have to tell you these things but just want to give you a little reminder to exercise restraint.

I'm so glad I lost my uterus so early. Otherwise I might have had a dozen kids and a dozen dogs.









Not really about kids but it would have been tempting.
