Holly, have you tried the Rosedale diet? Or what else have you heard about it?

Sharona I have been eating Low Carb (Atkins) since the new year. I joined a "Low Carb" board for support and members there had a discussion about this way of eating after it appeared in one of the Womens Magazines. Most who made comments thought that it sounded good but remember the people who were discussing this are all long time low carbers who have been very sucessful in losing weight and regaining their health so their bias would be towards this type of eating. From what I have read of Rosedales writings I agree with these ideas, but it is up to each individual to decide for themself. What works for one is not necessarily good for another.

Whatever you do, Do it for yourself and I wish you sucess.

       If you do your home work and know exactly what you must do. The only way the find out if something works is if you give it a try.  If you get results that are significant than it doesn't matter if the whole world tells you it's "dangerous" or unhealth. Personally I don't follow any plan but eating the best whole foods I can get. Some foods I eat are higher in carbs but most are not and many are high in mono and saturated fats. Only about 10% - 15% of my fat intake is polyunsaturated fat. I eat very little trans fats from some occasional junk food. The best thing for you, the enviornment and the local economy is to buy local organic foods when possible. I'm lucky to get free range onganic meat, poultry, whole grains / flour, eggs, lard, cream, milk, cheese and butter. All the dairy foods are raw and clean. I should know because I know where my food comes from this way and who prepares it.  Today there are over 350 regular customers at this farm. The FDA even stopped out because of all the sales and now inspects the meat- fine by me but I don't feel the need personally.

                                   Food can give what you need for your body to protect itself from toxins and prevent that glucose high and low which will shorten your life and lower your quality of living. That '99 lecture of Dr. Rosedale's practice is a classic example of real life results based on how the body works and by treating the cause of the problems not by treating symtoms with drugs or surgery. It is a must read. I posted this link over a year ago and it generated interest. It just makes sense.
