After Reading NeanderThin.... I would like some IN-PUT on my observations
Well I spend yesterday all day reading the book of neanderThin and I have few questions I would like to ask, Next book is the PaleoDiet that I already bought…so here are my comments.
1.Immune System I am fascinated with the concept of “immune system” I felt like screaming to the world I found what has been my problems all this years, in fact I kind of thought this book needed some help to catch the eye of the reader, in my case I am very interested and read all the book looking hard to understand all of it, but I can see that if someone that is not overweight or suffer major sick problems would dismiss this book in the second chapter.. and it has Magnificent information. Now the question here is if someone can direct me to another author that might get more technical on this subject, and how the proteins from grains or cheese can imitate our own and immune system start defending himself.
2. Scary Part of the Book I consider myself very discipline on diets, once I take one I just embrace it all the way, but when they say that if I just eat one “tortilla” I might respond with few pounds over, or if in the future I decide to come back to a lowfat/highcarb diet, my immune system will be more stronger and combated harder my own body so I will be very overweight. I don’t know why I got so scare about this part if I am totally convince that I will do a LC diet, but I wanted for other to share how their bodies have reacted if you ate some flour-product by accident.
3. Enzymes and Constipation the book says that after a week or so (if you came from a lowfat/no meat diet like me, I was rawvegan foodist) you start producing the “right” kind of enzymes to digest the new food you are eating, so you body will be smart enough and you will feel better, well I already pass that stage, but the other concept was that it will take up to a month to get regulated on the Constipation. What are your experience in this matter? Since I am doing taking Flax Seeds, plus a lot of Water, plus Fiber a total of 15g coming from this things and the rest of the fiber coming from my veggies to meat a nice 25g where I can go to the bathroom very well. But the question is:
Wouldn’t Flax Seed should be taken out of the diet?, it has to be grinded in order to be eaten and absorbed the omegas, and isn't that process out of the question from people of that times?, and Fiber well is unnatural to eat it in a way like psyllium since has a huge process, so I am leaning to just eat my veggies, so should I trust that in a month my intestines will start working properly? What are you thought on this matter? I don't want to become "to tecnical on what is not allowed" because I also agree that we have EVOLUTION to meet how to adapt to todays world, since for example is hard to meet our nutrients as easy so we might need this Omega from the flax... but I wanted to find the "healthies" thing for my intestine and avoid a future problem if the seeds of flax are rancid (old)..
Thanks for listening and I would really like to hear your thoughts
