my success story but the next step

[flabingo]

Five years ago my weight 178 for a 6 foot tall man was okay. By cholesterol was 48/161 with a statin and my BP was 140/90 with a High Blood pressure pill. I visited as a day guest in Santa Rosa, read three books China Study, Prevent and Reverse Heart disease, Forks over Knives, and changed my diet and exercise.
Today my weight is 167, my Cholesterol is 58/52 (WITHOUT A STATIN) and my BP is 117/76 with the same pill
Sounds good to me, BUT instead of learning to cook, I bought a VitaMix, and made myself as my main meal a oatmeal,veggies, and fruit smoothie.
Negative is my gas and being on the toilet too often.
I have had the Starch Solution , but until today have not followed it
Now instead of patting myself on the back for my Cholesterol and BP. I am going it follow the starch concept to go to the next level of health.and comfort.
I may even learn to use my rice cooker. WOW!!!

I would not believe the quick results from modifying my diet to less fruits and more starch WOW. Love my rice cooker

Mixing fruits with veggies is bad food combing, especially cruciferius veggies. If I want major bloating and pain, I eat broccoli with fruit!

Just as an fyi, food combining is a myth: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=5635&p=425279&hilit=food+combining#p425279

How do you know it is a myth? Different foods and food combinations affect different ppl differently. Just bc you are not having problems with a food combination does not say that I won't. Listen to your body and how you feel. That is always the best gauge IMO.

The food combining mythology has been disproved for a very long time. I suggest you visit Jeff Novicks forum and get the details from him directly. Lot's of books have been written and sold on this utter quack science.
There is NOTHING to food combining as a logical dietary aid. Any one who advises otherwise has the burden of prove to show it's effectiveness.
