Weightloss

[Caughtney]

I'm 14 and I want to know the beat way for me to start losing weight. As most wieghtloss deits are for people 15 and over.

So here is another question for you. I have Endometriosis and anything that has hormones or chemicals in it I cant have. So that means I cant eat anything unless I grow it myself.

Any kind of animal/fish has hormones even if they are not added.  Even if they say food is organic, is it really?  Most standards are not 100%

So I am not supposed to have any added hormones, I have been told not to have dairy, meat, sugar, processed foods etc.. there isnt really much left to eat and its very hard to do.

Processed foods I have had no problem giving up and have not had any in years.

Dairy is hard because I love milk, red meat is hard because I love it.

My over all health is not good and I eat very healthy.  I cook everything, I don't buy frozen foods, processed foods and try to stay away from anything fermented.

I have tried the macrobiotic diet, vegan, yeast free etc.

The damage to my body is already done.  So when I see all this talk about eat this its better for you, or you shouldnt do this because of that, and that causes cancer etc etc. I get tired of hearing it all because in the end it really does not matter.  All food unless grown by yourself contains chemicals and hormones.  There is absolutely no way it can be avoided.  

I am interested on what you have to say about this as I have done nothing but research for the last 10yrs in regards to hormones and chemicals.

betain HCI

Anyone suffering from, or with a history of, peptic ulcers, gastritis, and heartburn, should consult their doctor before taking betaine HCl. Furthermore, people taking drugs that can cause peptic ulcers, for example nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and cortisone-like drugs, should avoid betaine HCl.

adn yea, i forgot one of the best - chicken eggs, ostrich egg (is huge :D )

[djole123]

Ostrich, Wild animals meat like elk or so, Grass fed beef, Free range polutry, Non-farm raised fish, other sea animals

In form of supplements, Pea Protein is good or if you exercise Whey protein afther workout. But Foods are a better source and supplements cant replace them ;)

[ticked]

So what protein do you recommend out of curiosity?

I agree that everybody has a right for ther opinion. But as much as i have read in the last 3 years (about 1-2 books per week about physical activity, nutrition, supplementation, healthy lifestyle,) + what i've learned at my univeristy and constantly updating with new researches gives me enough knowledge to see a correct and incorrect information.

First of all Grains are not Nutritious foods, they are Economical Foods - Big Bussines -> thats why you see in the media, magazines (grains this, grains that health healht etc). When you go to a store, 90% of products are made from grains - why ? because they're healthy or because they make a lot money with it ? Grains are a new food in humans (before 10000 years it started), thats why thhere are so much gluten intolerant people.

Do you know that one slice of bread destroys 1.000.000 cells in the intestinal system ?  Such information you wont find in magazines, health shows etc...

You will often see studys like this "Dietary Fiber From grains protect from cancer, and other diseases" . The bad pice of cake of such studys is that they look just what the fiber does, but grains are not just fibers, there are other things like phytates witch bind to zinc, iron and other important minerals and doesent allow to get absorbed, gluten, etc..

Of course i get arrogant, when i see that someone with lack of knowledge about what he/she talks - but a opinion - gives advices.

I get counterattacked here, because you have accepted grains as a healthy food (like i did years ago) and it is hard to accept some totally different, unusual and new information witch is the opposite of your opinion.


@ autoimmune disease

80% of the immune system comes from the gastrointestinal system. Unhealthy GI system = weak immune system. Some things that can help are

1. Remove grain and grain products, Soy, Peanuts ( i expect now that a rifle man takes me down :) ) , eat protein rich foods, vegetables, fruits, walnuts, almonts, brazil nuts...
2. Remove "standard" vegetable oils, use Coconut oil for cooking, high quality olive oil for salads
3. Add 10-15 g or ml of fish oil daily - reduces inflammation, great for cell health
4. Get a enzyme supplement or Betain HCI (i reccomend NOW FOODS) superenzymes, its a great one, or Betain HCI) - low stomach acids leads to bad bacteria accumulation, bad mineral and vitamin apsorption, etc etc
5. Glutamine for 5 days, 50 grams daily - helps with gut regeneration
