Healthy Food – Naturally

I woke up at 4am, but stayed in bed until my usual get up time of 5:40. Not much to do this morning before I started work at 6am, so I could have actually stayed in bed a bit longer.

I felt good the entire morning, no headache or body aches.  My mind has been clear and I managed to do a lot of work. I also managed to actually exercise.

If you hadn’t followed my last fitness post let me fill you in. I started a program called “Body By You“, a fitness program that uses your own body weight and a few items you might have around (doors, towels). I did it for 3 weeks in February, then wasn’t able to continue in March for various reasons.  Still I wanted to get back to it. I promised myself that if I felt okay today, that I would actually do it.  And I did.  I went back to the first week and cycle, but that’s okay.  It was challenging, but that is as it should be.  Best of all, it takes about a half hour and I can do it at home.  Totally fits in with my milk drinking schedule.  I’m hoping I can continue with it, but that will depend on how my body is doing with the milk cure.

Last year was a series of ups and downs, I postulated that the ups were when one set of toxins was dispersed and that the down’s related to new toxins that were being worked on.  Even though so far, this one has been relatively easy (gastro-wise, I’m nowhere near last year’s issues at this point). I still can’t predict what will happen. Part of this is simply letting what will happen, happen.  So while I’m hopeful that I can do the exercises three times a week, I can’t guarantee it.

Yesterday I got an email from a reader asking me about the books I used to find out about the milk cure and it’s protocols. For those interested, the books are:

• The Milk Diet: How to Use the Milk Diet Scientifically at Home by Bernarr Macfadden, 1923.
• Milk diet as a remedy for chronic disease by Charles Sanford Porter 1911

One of the interesting and true things I learned from my reading is that your body will let you know what the proper amount of milk is.  Too little and you suffer from constipation.  Too much and you are dealing with diarrhea.  While my day was pretty good, by early evening, my body told me pretty definitively that I’m on too much milk. So as of tomorrow I’m dropping it to 3 1/2 quarts.  I’ll be drinking 9.3 ounces each hour instead of 10.6. Not enough on an hourly basis for me to feel it, but hopefully my body will be better. For the record, this is a full three days earlier than last year.

After receiving the message that I’m drinking too much milk, I definitely need the restorative effects of the detox bath last night.

Vital Statistics

Weight is starting to drop slightly, showing a pattern that is normal for me. The pattern is usually, drop to a new low weight, then gain it back, lose it slowly until I’m back at the original low and then drop again. During my regular way of eating, and weight loss, this takes about a week.  It seems to be happening faster now.

Glucose is again much lower than last year. (151, 116, 107) which pleases me. The lower glucose levels (though still higher than they would be on my regular low carbohydrate way of eating) indicate to me a level of health that I didn’t have last year. What’s also interesting is how steady it remained throughout the day.

My tongue seems the same as yesterday, slightly white, but not overly so.
