I appreciate the info provided by Rick regarding his experimentations. I had read the earlier Peskin work because I was interested with Omega 3 and it's...
Another cheap help is turmeric. http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART03001/Three-Reasons-to-Eat-Turmeric.html There have been a number of studies on it, and it's a...
Do you know, cashews, peanut butter, and almond butters are my downfall! But they have carbs so they're off the list of what I can eat. I think that's why ZC...
Hi Barnaby- I tend to stock my freezer with grass fed beef from a local rancher. I've had several e-mail exchanges with Professor Peskin and he says as long...
I'm curious though. Why the emphasis on beef? If you look at the world cuisines, the ones that focus on fish and eggs, produce the healthiest people....
Hi Heather- That's a good question. While I'm not sure it's true that people who eat fish are smarter and healthier (it could be that smart and healthy people...
After reading the ebook, I started Fast Five three weeks ago. My numbers changed drastically for the better: Beginning blood pressure: 136/77 After three 3...
Wow! Incredible job Annie! ;) I dunno what to say about the brain fog except that Dr Herring says it takes 2-4 weeks to adjust sometimes. I've heard of some...
Hi Rick, Thank you....thank you. Hmmmm.....it might just take longer to get past the brain fog. ?? I don't like it....ugh. I was surprised to recognize the...
You might try experimenting with foods. Food allergies tend to show up MORE on Fast-5. I think part of the issue is that the "fasting" period acts as a kind of...
I am a little leery of most "extracts" of anything, including fish oil. The fish oil I've gotten is often rancid. But there have been numerous cases where an...
Hi Heather, Thank you for your answer. I appreciate it. It is interesting that you mentioned dairy (including ghee) and the salicylic acid issue in meat (from...
Well, for me, if I eat dairy I get "brain fog" the next day. I really cannot think straight. So it's pretty obvious. Also I often get migraines the day after. ...
Instead of beginning the eating at evening, I prefer the daily meal around noon. Might be worth experimenting with something other than default 6 PM. Barnaby...
That's interesting, Heather. So if the blood glucose goes low and stays low, the body adapts. I didn't feel odd or anything like that. I checked my level...
"The issue with beef isn't salicylic acid, but sialic acid. Sialic acid can be inflammatory if it's the wrong "shape". Human beings, fish, and birds, all have...
The issue with sialic acid isn't just beef ... it's different in ALL mammals, except humans. We are the only mammal that has Neu5ac with no gc. This is a very...
Ah, roosters are just a pain, for sure. In animal husbandry, the thing that human beings have done since forever, is to keep the female animals and only keep...
i have a great source of whole fresh sardines. i cooked them once in the oven, whole, and it was difficult to eat. the eyes staring back at me, the guts...
I handle sardines same as smelts ... just fry them. I don't actually eat the guts or the heads, when I fry them. I guess I could work up to it. With croaker...
wow! thank you so much! i often think you should write a book. such a wonderful wealth of knowledge. i suppose there is your blog, which i love also. thanks...
So you cool the sardines whole, but chop off the head and guts when you eat them? When doing the quick cook method do you remove the bones prior to cooking?...
... and places like HowToHeroes. It's a really great time to live, right now, if you want to learn anything! Maangchi is really fun when it comes to cooking...
I chop the heads off and gut them, before brining them. A lot of people DO cook them whole, but I'm not one of them. For one thing, I like the brine to get to...
Hi Heather and Group Well I have done several things here. 1. Can't find any real issues health wise for the feeling of fullness. 2. I have been trying the...
Thanks for the feedback. It's good to see what works for other people. Konjac is a fiber ... if your doc is right, and fiber is what is making you feel full,...
i purchased the miracle noodles, which are konjac. they ended up giving me a stomach ache, and then they came out the other end, totally undigested! now i have...
Interesting. What is *supposed* to happen is that bacteria in your lower gut digest the konjac, creating butyrate. Same thing for vegies. So if you can't...
I did find a reference to S. Boulardii being good, maybe, for butyrate production. It might work: kefir has boulardii and kefir has been really good for some...
