Jerico I saw your qualifications in your profile and you are teaching other people and slandering me?
I have not slandered you. I slandered your information. I have not said anything about you personally. The one thing I did direct to you was an infraction cause you posted a link to a site that sells pills. Just like anyone else who posts such a site, I removed it. I then redirected you to the forum rules about links. As far as my qualifications, it would be different if I hadn't backed up my statements with an established medical communities' links (Mayo Clinic).
For your information Dr. David Williams does not just sell pills(which are not bad for you he sells everyday multi vitamins which I assume are not harmful for you)
Ok hold right there. You assume they are not harmful to you. You should always do your research into medication, herbal or otherwise, that you take. I gave you this guy's educational background. I looked at his site, I saw things he has been a part of. He is an alternative medicine salesman. I'm not saying alternative is bad, but alternative is also hype. If medical case studies can't back up the claims..then that is all it is. Hype.
which for the record I do not take his because they are to expensive for my budget I buy my vitamins from walmart and costco and I take grounded flax seed, did you know(but I am pretty sure you don't know) that flax seed 4tbsp. of this(of course working up to this amount gradually over time) will help you lose body fat
WEBMD - Flax seed
Mayo Clinic - Flax Seed
Flax seed is wonderful. It contains (information from webmd)
* Omega-3 essential fatty acids, "good" fats that have been shown to have heart-healthy effects. Each tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains about 1.8 grams of plant omega-3s.
* Lignans, which have both plant estrogen and antioxidant qualities. Flaxseed contains 75- 800 times more lignans than other plant foods
* Fiber. Flaxseed contains both the soluble and insoluble types.
But lose body fat? Sorry, that is one claim that is just that...a claim. It doesn't do anything to the body that affects fat. Now, it is fiber. Fiber fills you up and you tend to fill less hungry so you eat less. You eat less and you consume less calories thus, weight loss. It's an indirect benefit, but it's not ment to be claimed as a way to lose fat. Second, 4 tablespoons is twice the recommended dose a person should have a day. Why push it? Yes, there are a few studies that have gone up to 6 but the medical community suggests 2. Why? There is cyanide in flax seed. It's not out and out dangerous but it can build up in your system over time as the body can only break down a portion of it.
unlike your diet coke product which will actually cause weight gain over time?
Ok, to show you that I can argue your side as well for you.
Mayo Clinic - Is Diet Soda bad for you?
There is some research that suggest too much is bad but no one is telling him to drink 2 cases a day. Everything has to be in moderation but to just push it aside with a broad stroke is wrong. Hell, this particular thread isn't about diet soda. That's the other one I'm debated against you. This is about fructose.
And flax seed will also fight over 27 cancers.
Problem. You have overreached. There is not enough medical evidence that it does fight cancer (read the Mayo Clinic information). The problem is overclaiming. You are taking something that IS good and hyping it up without backing it up with credible medical evidence or research.
I have learnt this and other knowledge through Dr.David Williams who pratices alternative medicine, and through education-studying fitness and nutrition and reading the clean eat diet, body for life and a few others so you see I do know my stuff unlike you you just assume that I am wrong and you are right.
Body for Life, written by Bill Phillips, a former competitive bodybuilder and owner of EAS, a manufacturer of nutritional supplements.
Clean Eat Diet, written by Tosca Reno, a fitness model and columnist.
I'm sorry, you might know your stuff but if your stuff is coming from people selling nutritional supplements and models instead of medical doctors (and David Williams is a Doctor of Chiropractic and Bachelor of Science so let's not kid outselves) then just how good is your stuff? I didn't assume you are wrong, I countered with medical experts. Real medical experts who don't have something to sell me thus slanting thier viewpoint.[/QUOTE]
Now I know before you get all huffy, if I know all this knowledge why am I here right? I am here for mural support you see I had lost 100lbs before my sister passed away she passed away as I was still trying to lose the last 30lbs I am a stress eater, now I haven't gained any of the 100lbs back on but I just can't seem to get back on track, so thats why I am here hoping to get some mural support and hopefully return it back to someone else and the knowledge I have learnt along the way and losing those last 30lbs? You Jerico?
First, I am sorry that your sister passed way. My blessings. I too am here for support and to lose weight. I'm obviously no thin man and I have a long way to go. I'm also here about information and when I see information that should be countered, I do. The difference is I've been backing mine up with renowned groups like WebMD and the Mayo Clinic. You haven't. You backed your claims up with an herb supplement site. People come here for real information.
Now so back to Willlose60's question eating more green vegetables and getting rid of frutose will help that craving trust me ... its helping me, I have had no cravings since I added in more GREEN vegetables and got rid of frutose from my diet I have been doing great for 1 week now(which for about 4yrs I couldn't even make 2 days) through progams like this with other people to help give helpfull advice and that little trick I just taught you with the veges and that chemical. Even though Jerico does not agree and will probably take this message of as he is always right. This works.
I'm glad it worked for you. I really am. I think you are connecting one to something else though. You are wondering about craving. You ate green vegetables. Almost all green vegetables are fibrous. Fiber causes the body to fill fuller. I don't think it is the fructose, I think it's the fiber.
Look, if you can back up your claims without it being a site that just sells pills, please show it. I'm not stalking you but I'm not going to just let misinformation and hype pass by without pulling the hype down. Show the science.
