Vegan, Lacto-Vegetarian & Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian Nutrition (C) by C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.

All raw and all vegetarian diets have been fads pushed by many people. One Canadian back in the 70’s insisted on all raw because it prevented cancer. He died of prostate cancer and, yes, monkeys do get cancer. Indeed even cacti get cancer! Ellen G. White, founder of Seventh Day Adventism, and a phenomenal prophet, emphasized a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. BUT she warned that when you are ill, you need meat! In general, eggs and milk products provide adequate quality protein. A VEGETABLE- FRUIT- NUT- SEED diet does not provide any taurine, one of the essential amino acids, and a majority of adults cannot produce taurine!! I have tested the blood of a couple of dozen vegans and every one of them is deficient in one or more essential amino acids. In addition, there is NO vitamin B 12 in the vegetable kingdom. I have seen some seriously deficient B 12 in vegans-and that can ruin your brain and nervous system. On the other hand, eggs and milk products provide all essential amino acids and B 12!

So, if you choose not to eat any meat, fish, or fowl, you NEED AT LEAST Whey Protein Isolate. The best I have found is BioDex, available at www.selfhealthsystems.com, 888-242-6105. Two scoops of that daily can supply all the essential proteins you need-and B 12. If you choose this lacto-vegetarian diet, then be careful of the quality of your vegetarian components. SUGAR is NOT a vegetable!! Nor is Un-Equal, NON-Splendor, etc. And trans-fats are not real food. Monosodium Glutamate, MSG, is not a food! Pop is not a food. Margarine is not a food. Chips and snack foods are not real food. Ideal Lacto-Vegetarian Nutrition: This product is also Gluten Free.-Unlimited veggies, nuts, seeds and fresh fruits -2 scoops daily of Whey Protein Isolate -Include a serving of beans or legumes daily-the least gas producing are chick peas, green peas, lima beans and roasted peanuts or Natural peanut butter -Brown rice, old fashioned oatmeal, barley, quinoa, buckwheat

Be careful of wheat and avoid virtually ALL store bought bread. Most is plain JUNK.

There is No fast food restaurant food worth considering. CashewsREAL fast food is a piece of fruit and some pecans, cashews, peanuts, walnuts, etc.

You need omega-3’s and the best source (other than Alaska salmon) is flax seed or chia. Now, of course, if you want an even better diet, add 2 organic Omega-3 enriched eggs daily!

Chia Seed Gel Smoothie by Fred Liers, PhD, and HPDI’s Kitchen Team

| by Fred Liers, PhD, and HPDI’s Kitchen Team

Because chia’s soluble fiber slows and regulates the uptake of glucose into the bloodstream, blood glucose levels rise evenly and steadily rather than quickly. Insulin levels follow blood glucose levels, therefore there is no spike in insulin, and no corresponding “crash” in blood sugar levels…thus keeping energy levels steady, and reducing hunger (due to the body’s not requiring additional sugar in order to compensate for suddenly low blood sugar levels).

Quick Summer Soup Recipe with Heather Flournoy of Katonah Green

| by Heather Flourney

This time of year we have loads of fresh veggies available from gardens and farmer’s markets and local farms. I’d like to share a recipe for a quick soup I make at least once a week, often several times a week. It only takes about 20 minutes from start until it’s in your bowl. It’s easily adaptable to what you have on hand, hearty, yummy and incredibly healthy because it’s raw and therefore retains its enzyme activity and all of the nutrients of fresh vegetables.”

Missing Piece to Overeating; Why Diets Fail by Judith Orloff MD, author Emotional Freedom

| by Judith Orloff MD

“As a psychiatrist I know that there is more to overeating and obesity that meets the eye. One big reason that many diets fail is that traditional weight loss programs don’t factor in how we process subtle energy, what Chinese medicine terms life force or chi. Subtle energy penetrates and surrounds the body. Sensitive people who I call intuitive empaths unknowingly overeat in response to being overwhelmed by negative vibes. Empaths not only can sense energy around them, they absorb it into their bodies. If this is you, “Emotional Freedom” will teach you to center and protect yourself when the impulse to overeat hits.”
