Hello!

I would like to add that you need to read labels carefully. Stay away from anything with hydrogenated oils (trans fats). Beware that products are allowed to say �0 Trans Fats per serving� if they are below a certain percentage. But if the ingredients say �hydgrogenated� then know that you are getting trans fats. Stay away from too much saturated fats. And look for items that are high in fiber. That would be great first step.

I am having problems with the shakes, too. I am either constipated or get bad diarrhea. I’ve been a shake drinker for ages now, and before the 6 week cure I was drinking one for breakfast every day. 3 per day is excellent and wish I could do that all the time.

However, regarding the egg, I add an egg to each shake because without it, the shake does not fill me up. I am hungry again in an hour. And yes, I follow the recipe to a tee, using protein powders that I have used in the past, that do not upset my stomach in any way or create such irregularities.

By the way, I lost three pounds in the first four days.

I just wanted to thank you for the 6 week cure. Prior to following the diet back in February, I had been menorrhagiac for over 3 months straight. I was severely anemic and tests showed that my hormone levels were somewhat wonky (high estrogen) but a pelvic ultrasound didn’t show any abnormalities. Within 3 days of following the diet, the menorrhagia stopped and everything has been normal ever since (over 3 months now) despite going off the diet and to a moderate low carb WOE. The only modification I made was eating about 2 TBS of blackstrap molasses every day (high in iron). I know molasses is not low carb, but I lost 5 pounds in my first week and I didn’t really want to lose faster than that anyway.

What I was wondering was, since I am still low in my iron stores, and therefore can’t give blood – if it is possible that if I followed the diet for a week or two every month in the time prior to the onset of menses, if this would be beneficial and approximate the benefits that giving blood does?

Thanks again, I just can’t believe that it was a coincidence.

I am really excited reading all the posts. I admit I haven’t had time to read the entire 6 week cure book. Looking at the above posts and the internet I am wondering which is the better way for me to lose about 80 pounds – Protein Power or the 6 week cure?

I’m having good and bad days and I want to talk about it. 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.

Can someone tell me what this study means for those of us doing the 6week cure and using D-Ribose for extra energy

Thanks for your answer to my last question on what happens to the toxins released from the liver during the two shake weeks.

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?

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.

@Michael Richards. 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.
