| Author | Topic: Coffee & insulin and acidic effects |
| monica 09-06-2002 10:03 AM | I'm glad to hear that you have a vice too. So I should not be concerned with a small amount of pasturized cream/dairy products on a regular basis? Do you drink your coffee on an empty stomach or after breakfast? What about coffee's effect on insulin production along with exhaustion of the adrenal glands? What are your feelings on the acidic effects of coffee? I do love the taste of coffee and I look forward to your response! Thank you Wai!! PS Is it possible to purchase your book rather than printing it from the computer?? |
| Wai 09-06-2002 10:51 AM | quote:That depends on which ones you mean. You should NOT take milk (especially no low fat milk), no yogurt, no cheese (except for very high-fat cream cheese, such as Gormas Ballarini, Mascarpone Polenghi, Philadelphia spread, Boursin, Ricotta Polenghi or Flora Danica; the first named is the best, the last named is the least best) Full fat cream is perfect, just as real butter is. What do you consider a 'small amount of pasturized cream/dairy products'? quote:I love it on an empty stomach. quote:That does not cause diabetes, just as sugars are not the cause of diabetes. What causes diabetes, is the repeated insulin-secretion promoting effect of the same molecule, which happens when the blood glucose level cannot be decreased due to filled up glycogen depots. Molecules with only a one-time stimulating effect (sugars, caffeine) are not dangerous; glucose is natural, and only becomes dangerous if it keeps on stimulating the secretion of insulin over and over again. The combination of prolonged energy (protein/sugars) intake with filled up glycogen depots and satisfied protein needs, as well as the relative absence of fatty acids to form triglycerides, is what causes diabetes. (to continue this discussion, please post here) quote:If your stomach tells you that it cannot handle the acidity, you shouldn't continue consuming it. quote:I'm sorry, but the book is sold out. It also takes a lot of time to process the payments, to ship the books and to adjust the printing-blue print for every new edition. Just publishing it online is easier. You can now print it out in parts; you can for example only print out the overweight section first. And once you understand all that, you print out the tips / guidance regarding maintaining the diet (A, B and C), for example, and/or the munch food recipes. |
| monica 09-06-2002 01:40 PM | ok, so the high fat cheeses that you mentioned are ok to consume even if they are pasturized? I thought that once pasturized, the fat molecules (and protein molecules for that matter) changed into a toxic substance(oxidized??). Please correct me if i am wrong. Should these cheeses be consumed just as egg yolks are combined with fruit or only as 'munch foods'? Or maybe you mean that occasionally, high fat pasturized cheeses or ok (but not beneficial at all) but are not nearly as beneficial as egg yolk, olive oil or unshelled nuts. PS I can't thank you enough for your time, knowledge, patience and wisdom. You are truely an angel. ![[Smile]](../smile.gif) |
| monica 09-09-2002 07:32 AM | so coffee on an empty stomach is ok? Sounds great...so i guess it is not imperative to have have fruit before anything else first thing in the morning? |
| Wai 09-10-2002 11:24 AM | quote:they are munch foods. They are bad, but less bad than most other munch foods, and thus a better choice than munch foods that are higher in protein / more cooked, but yes, they do contain some bad substances. Of course you can maintain a very rigid healthy diet, containing no munch foods at all, but that is not very practical for most of us. quote:No, I said that I feel fine with it. Other people may have problems with consuming coffee on an empty stomach. quote:It is the best thing you can do, but life is about making choices |
| monica 09-10-2002 11:53 AM | very well put I guess i am just trying to find out all that i can about "the ideal" diet so that i can use that as a base that i make my food choices from. Of course, i do not plan on eating 'perfectly' all the time, but i am still VERY new at all of this and i am trying to assess what my ideal diet should be (all the nitty gritty details). This is the reason for my inundation of questions that you have so very patiently answered ![[Big Grin]](../biggrin.gif) |
| Sanna 01-30-2003 06:55 PM | Wai, you said something about coffee and banana not combining(why not btw?)....what about other fruits/yolks/oil/avocado.....can I drink a cup of coffee right after eating or eat right after having drank coffee? Or is coffee best on an empty stomach?Is it good to drink water along with it? By the way....is instant coffee ok? I know coffee (the dry stuff) contains a lot of dirty protein...but how about the beverage? How much protein (approximately) does one cup of strong coffee contain? Does coffee contain substances that inhibit nutrient absorption? Is it ok to drink a few cups of coffee every day? |
| Wai 02-01-2003 03:56 PM | here's a thread about coffee: linkquote:better not dealing with the coffee takes so much different enzymes / acidity coffee is best drank alone, and/or with water quote:worse quote:link quote:yes, so it better be consumed alone quote:healthwise it doesn't make much difference in my opinion acne-wise, that is individually different, and up to your experimentation |
| Sanna 02-03-2003 11:12 AM | okay, thanks Wai! no coffee doesn't give me acne... |
| Sanna 02-04-2003 06:54 AM | if I drink coffee in the morning my bowels move a lot. why is this? |
| Wai 02-04-2003 03:08 PM | caffeine is a stimulating agent... |
