Comments on: 6-Week Cure blog idea II http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/6-week-cure/6-week-cure-blog-idea-ii/ A critical look at nutritional science and anything else that strikes my fancy.

I am on week 2, day 2. I would really like a forum for people who are on the diet. Maybe someone will create a ning site. I could check the forum on lowcarb.about.com and see if there is a thread over there (or maybe start one...) I'm interested in savory shake ideas. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm thinking or using plain protein powder, powdered green food supplement, fresh cilantro, parsely, green onions and either homemade broth or green tea for the water. I also have tomato powder from the Spice House that I'm itching to use in a recipe. Maybe a pesto-inspired smoothie. I have read that cilantro is great for detoxing heavy metals.

I am now on the next to last day of the 6WC and am down 8 pounds with 6 to go. That's great results for a 76 year old woman who has been low carbing the Eades way for a number of years but had 20 pounds to lose. The 6WC has broken my year long stall. thanks so much. Is it too late to donate blood now? Has my liver shoved the toxins back into new fat cells by now?

It doens't seem to be related to apnea, but cheking the other posibilities. I'm gonna try to get the book asap and see what can i get related to the problem. I've read a lot about potasium and magnesium supplementation so i may try suggesting her to start with it. Let's see what we can do. Hey guys, thanks a lot for the suggestions.

This seppo's never heard of those guys or that show. Some ideas are just so obvious, you know, like a sous-vide machine for the home kitchen, a blender hooked up to a v8 engine.. it's amazing nobody thought of them sooner. @Michael Richards.

For the past 5 weeks, I have been following the new plan in "6 week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle." I had my cholesterol checked about a year ago and it was marginal (198 with a 80+ Good cholesterol ratio, but I eat lots of nuts, good oils, etc.) I have never been concerned about my cholesterol in the past. Three weeks ago, i went to donate blood, just as the you recommend in your book. I fasted before the draw, and drank caffeine to help the detox of the liver. I just got a note in the mail from the donor place saying that my cholesterol was 302! (No breakdown on HDL/LDL included). My feeling is that this high number is an aberration and that it actually SHOWS that the release of the fatty lipids from the liver is working. I could be totally wrong, but that is what I have concluded. What do you think? Have you seen this kind of huge jump before with the plan? Sophie in CA Hello!

And total daily carbohydrate is less than or equal to Xgm carbs from an allowable food list. With Xgm fat from an allowable list. Etc. Precise *framework* is why I am such a big fan of PP and always recommend it.
