Re: [fast5] Gall bladder complaint

Gall bladder problems are depressingly common for ALL people, fasting or otherwise. They do tend to have "triggers" ... going OFF a diet is a big one (when you start eating "normal" again). 

Fasting hasn't been an issue for me with my gall bladder. Actually my gut is WAY better at processing fats than it was before Fast-5. My motivation for doing Fast-5 type eating was mainly to get my digestion working correctly again, and it worked great. I can eat pretty much anything now, even really greasy awful stuff, and my digestion is fine.

However, I do know a lot of people with gall bladder issues, and so have some familiarity with the issues. The symptoms actually show up way after the problems start. They have found gallstones in little kids. The actual problem seems to have to do with irritation of the bile duct, which tends to stop the bile duct from emptying properly.

So, what irritates the bile duct? The biggest one seems to be food allergies, esp. wheat gluten:



I expect any dysbiosis could be an issue too. Fast-5 did a great job of healing my own dysbiosis, albeit I am also using good fibers (konjac) and probiotics (kefir) and personally I can't handle wheat gluten at all and so have avoided it for a long time.

So my (non medical) advice would be: if you are worried about your gall bladder, DO address the issue. But not doing Fast-5 is not going to prevent gall bladder disease. Most people who have their gall bladders removed, are not doing any special diet at all, but they still lose their gall bladder, because no one addresses the cause of the inflammation. If you want to avoid surgery, figure out what the problem is! 

BTW, gut inflammation is fairly easy to fix, and you will feel SO MUCH better.

[fast5] Re: Best time to eat

 

The "normal" glucose patterns are almost all based on people following a three-meal-a-day diet. The circadian rhythm is altered by a different digestion pattern, and I think the glucose responsiveness is too. The dawn phenomenon (rising glucose in the morning with no food intake) may be enhanced in some people on a Fast-5 schedule with a late window. There is simply not enough data at this point to offer very firm advice on what's best for an individual. I trust that the body knows what it's doing and the mid-to-late afternoon eating most closely mimics what it has adapted to. The dawn phenomenon coincides with a morning surge in cortisol and may be the body's way of making fuel available for high demand -- unfortunately, we seldom put much demand on it.

Fortunately, you have the means (with some discussion and help from your doctor) to find out for yourself what's best in your case. By checking blood glucose levels several times a day for a few days after you've adapted to one window, you can see how your body responds to one schedule or another. The same goes for HbA1c, but since it changes so slowly you'd have to keep up the same schedule for a couple of months to get a useful HbA1c value.

Because the circadian rhythm takes several days to adjust, I think you have to keep up a given schedule for at least 2-3 weeks before doing a couple of days of regular (every few hours) testing.

I hope this helps --

Best wishes,

[fast5] Best time to eat

 



I am a type 2 diabetic and a 2pm to 7pm eating window seems to
be working well for me. This is partly because a type 2 diabetic
is less insulin resistant later in the day than early in the morning.
But here is an article discusing the fact that a non diabetic handles
carbs best in the morning. So I wonder if for some of us an early
eating window might be healthier.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Gluten-Free Chicken Soup - 33.6g Carbs, 8.1g Fiber

 

Gluten-Free Chicken Soup - 33.6g Carbs, 8.1g Fiber

From: The Gluten Free Goddess VIA WebMD Recipe from Foodily.com

This isn't your Grandma's chicken soup. And she might not approve of
the liberties I've taken crankin' up the standard Jewish flavors more
than a simple notch. But tradition is one thing. Great taste is another.
I say, be flexible.

Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
3-4 split chicken breasts (free-range organic, if possible), rinsed, patted dry
8 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 heaping cups thinly shredded cabbage (bagged coleslaw mix is fast and easy)
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, cut up
1 yellow summer squash, cut up
2 zucchini squash, cut up
6 to 8 baby Yukon Gold potatoes, cut up
1 (4-oz can) chopped green chilies -- mild or hot, to taste
1 tsp rubbed sage
1 tsp EACH: dried basil, oregano and parsley
Hot red pepper flakes, shake to taste
1 (14-oz can) fire roasted diced tomatoes
2 or more cups chicken broth, as needed
A dash or two of balsamic vinegar to taste

Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil into the bottom of a Crock Pot or
slow cooker. Lay the chicken breasts in the bottom; top with half the
chopped garlic. Season the mixture with sea salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, bell pepper, yellow
and zucchini squashes, potatoes, and green chiles; and toss them with
a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Season the mixture with sea salt,
ground pepper, herbs, and a shake or two of hot red pepper flakes. Toss
to coat.

Pour the veggies into the crock in an even layer. Pour on the diced
tomatoes. Add the chicken broth and a dash of balsamic vinegar, to
taste. The liquid should just about cover the veggies. If you like
more of a brothy soup than a stew, add more broth.

Cover and cook on high for 5 to 6 hours, until the chicken is tender
and easily breaks apart into pieces with a large spoon (my chicken
was very cold when it went into the pot, so adjust your cook time
accordingly, if you need to).

Taste test for seasoning adjustments. I added a pinch of brown sugar
to mine to balance the tomato-garlic and spice. Stir in any seasoning adjustments and serve.

Makes four hearty servings to soothe you, body and soul. This recipe
is gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, corn-free.

Re: [epilepsy] over 5 yrs and still hurts (kind of a rant)

 

Hi Kelly

Skills like those of musical ones and many others too, are so deeply drilled in our brain I don't think
anything could take it away from you. I play also (not drums though) and if haven't played for a while all it
takes is a few notes on the piano or whatever and away I go as if have been doing all while. I play by ear
and have tried lessons but once I hear something my fingers just go where they go. She didn't keep me long :))
Keep it up as it can sure be something to help you relax. You can get off in your own little world and
nothing around you can come close. Great therapy.

Millie,

I was a manager for high volume specialty retail, Bath and Body Works.
I was on track to be a district manager, which is what I wanted. The
year I got sick my store did over 3 million in business.

No I am not having seizures. I will not, however, say I am seizure free
unless I am not dependent on meds. I won't be able to find that out
because my pain made me unable to drop the trileptal, it just wasn't
going to work.

I am finding things to replace my career, but it's not the same. My
son, 10, is attending a virtual academy for school (long story) so I am
his at home learning coach. Also, I play drums, I love it. Don't ask
me how it is that I can't remember what day it is sometimes, but I can
remember the drum line of almost any song. None of those are going to
replace my career, but it does give me something to excel at.

Kelly

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Mediterranean Garlic Soup and Harissa - 22g Carbohydrate; 3g Dietary Fiber

 


* Exported from MasterCook *

Mediterranean Garlic Soup and Harissa

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : LowCal (Less than 300 cals) LowerCarbs

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Harissa:
1 red bell pepper
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 small red onion -- roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves -- roughly chopped
2 fresh red chilies -- medium-hot, seeded and roughly chopped
1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Soup:
4 medium shallots -- finely chopped
3 celery stalks -- finely diced
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
25 medium garlic cloves -- finely sliced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme
1 cup white wine
1 pinch saffron threads -- generous
4 bay leaves
1 quart good quality vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
4 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
To serve: -- roughly chopped cilantro and Greek yogurt (optional)

To make the harissa. Preheat the grill to high, then grill the bell pepper for 15 to 20 minutes, or until blackened all over. Transfer to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and allow to cool. Then peel the pepper and discard its seeds.

Place a frying pan on low heat and lightly dry-roast the coriander, cumin and caraway seeds for 2 minutes. Remove them to a mortar and use a pestle to grind to a powder.

Add the olive oil to the frying pan and heat, then fry the onion, garlic and chiles on medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, to a dark smoky color. Cool slightly, then tip into a blender or food processor. Add the remaining harissa ingredients, including the grilled pepper and ground spices, and blitz together to make a paste. Set aside.

Gently fry the shallots and celery with the butter and oil for about 10 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a further 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger and thyme. Pour in the wine and leave to simmer for a few minutes, then add the saffron, bay leaves, stock and salt. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

Remove the bay leaves and add the parsley. Bltz with an immersion blender (or regular blender) or a food processor. Do not blend to a complete puree; keep some bits of vegetable for texture.

Divide the soup among shallow bowls. Swirl in some harissa and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Finish with a dollop of Greek yogurt, if you like.

Serves 4
