| pete59 12-16-2002 11:55 AM | Hi, I hear that Cholorophyl is very important for health purposes. You would get this if you consume green leafy vegtables. Since i am not eating vegetables, Should I be concern about this? I have been following this diet for two weeks and I feel fine. Although I am bit cautious and monitoring my body. Thanks, pete |
| RRM 12-16-2002 02:06 PM | Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants, containing magnesium and nitrogen (no chloride). It is capable of channelling the energy of sunlight into chemical energy by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is related to vitamin B12, but unlike B12, NOT essential for us. (and thus not a vitamin) It is essential for plants though. You don't need it. RRM |
| pete59 12-16-2002 10:37 PM | Thanks for the response. Would it cause if I take the Gary Nulls Green Juice with this diet? I am not sure if you are familiar with Gary Nulls product. Thanks, pete |
| Wai 12-19-2002 05:40 AM | Any fresh vegetable juice can have adverse effects. When it is a product (a brand; not freshly made by you), it more likely has adverse effects, because it is processed, involving heat or irradiation or pasteurization (to increase shelf life) You don't need vegetable juice at all, so why would take any risk by consuming this? If you want it anyway, then you better wait until your skin has totally cleared (on the sample diet), and THEN add it to your diet, to get to know its effects. |
| pete59 12-19-2002 01:06 PM | Wai, Thanks for your response. By the way, I am on this diet NOT because i have acne. I never had acne in my life. I ended up on this diet to cure my constipation. I had constipation when I converted to vegeteriansim. I searched the web for constipation and I found your web site. I have been on this diet for past 2 weeks. I started to see that the diet is helping my problem about last week. So now i am eating based on your sample diet. Is it safe to be purely on sample diet? I eat as I get hungry or feel i need food. I consume NO vegtables. The reason I turned to vegeterianism was to get rid of my grey hair. because there is Heath guru in america name Gary Null recommends to consume 6 glasses of green leafy vegetables and6 glasses of fruit juices daily will help to restore your natural color of your hair. Now, I eat basically OJ ( mixed with flaxseed oil ,No sugar) and few fruits ( 2 bananas and apple, pear)/day , couple of handfull Brazil Nuts, raisins and few dates/day. avocado salad with cucumber and two spoons of Olive oil/day. 3-5 egg yolks/day or raw salmon 3 times a week. I have energy to do things and my weight has stabilized at 145lbs and I was 150lbs. I am 5'9" and 43 years old. My friends and my doctor are telling me that I need to gain weight but my skin has improved dramatically. I sleep good at nights and I can play soccer without running out of energy. I even score goals at my age. I put this diet in to the calculator and it tells me that I am consuming around 4500kcal engergy. However, I see so many missing items which I dont understand what it means. Is it okay to be on sample diet for life time. I know your boyfriend eats based on sample diet. Thanks, pete |
| Wai 12-20-2002 05:19 AM | quote:Absolutely, it supplies you with all required nutrients. quote:Did it? quote:Do YOU think that you need to gain weight? quote:"missing items", means that that regarding that specific nutrient, not the contents of all included foods are known, and thus the actual total will be higher than published. This is because the data for many foods are incomplete. E.g: in some foods they have not measured the iodide, selenium or other nutrient's contents. It does NOT mean that you miss out on some nutrients. quote:YES. |
