Oops! I forgot it was Wednesday...mini raw food cleanse

I completely forgot that it was Wednesday yesterday! Feeling pretty silly but oh well.
Here's the video from Dr. Greger about the benefits of fasting for autoimmune disease symptoms: nutritionfacts.org/video/fast...

I love how sensible you are about losing weight. A couple of things I want to clear up. You aren't saying you're eating too much starch are you? The second is, Dr. McDougal explained how fish oil makes arthritis pain go away. It doesn't grease the joints it lowers immune system response. That's what lowers the pain. St could it have been the oil in the avocado that did the trick? A Dr. Burned from Canada used to call them lard grenades. Lol In Dr. mcDougalls talk ,Diet the Only Cure for Arthritis he speaks of fasting being effective. I wonder though if it has more to do with getting away from the food that's killing your joints rather than fasting itself. Lots of good encouragement from Star McDougallers on arthritis. Have a good week.

Too much starch was killing my health journey! I did not have a choice but to go low starch! And amazingly it jumpstarted my weight loss, brought my insulin to normal, my blood sugars are perfect! And I feel so much better overall. I did not increase the fat much just added avos and olives and minimal nuts and seeds! Try lowering your starches a little! Bless you Heather!

So true... raw food helps me immediately if I feel water retention or inflammation.

[@FirebreathingVegan1]

So glad you decided against fasting. I notice when I do any type of restriction, it tends to back fire on me in other ways lol.

[@jcsmith7898]

Me too. I crave carbs until the glycogen builds up to a satisfactory level in my liver.

[@Boxerr54]

God bless you sweet friend. I fight soreness once in a while too. I take turmeric for it and keep going. Have a great Christmas.

[@Boxerr54]

Ha ha. I commented and then you mention your turmeric chai tea. I spoke too soon.

[@drjackiesteel]

Congratulations on 1lb. weight loss! Glad you're here today and good job on your mini raw food cleanse! Health symptoms definitely create a stronger motivation to eat raw than weight loss does.

[@ivylovesrunning]

That's great news!

[@pattibealer]

You are doing great, Heather! Losing weight during the holidays is amazing! Even for the plant based community!

[@annettelauretta]

Getting days mixed up is right on par with most of us 🤣🤣🤣 Happy to hear you're doing well 😁 See you next week!

[@thebutterflyeffect-plant-b3067]

[@elizabethtobin4762]

Glad to see you doing well Heather and another pound gone! I prayed for your person and I’m so happy that your person is recovering from the Rona. Take care!

great to get rid of pain !! My fibro pain, 24/7 pain, disappeared after i went on Chef AJ's vegan SOFAS free. I don't eat a lot of raw food. I like room temp food, winter & summer. I think many of us are getting the days mixed up. Awesome news, prayer does work. Yes, that is why i am staying home & no family or friends coming here over Christmas. I still have my oldest daughter & oldest sister who haven't spoken to me since mid Aug, bc i am scared to get sick, i been sick nearly all my life , so.. I JUST got my voice Heather, since feeling better & losing the 96 lbs, 4 lbs to go to goal. You go girl, keep rockin' it .

[@viviannedonnelly233]

I like your slow and steady, keep trying approach!

[@mecsonka221]

Pineapple! It always helps me even for a sore throat too. Try the pineapple or even pineapple juice. Thanks for the video.

[@thebutterflyeffect-plant-b3067]

I had some! I love it so much. I will eat it till my mouth burns. LOL I put some in my smoothie too

[@bethmcmillen1064]

I stress eat.

[@mabelrae6941]

I have ra as well and i notice nightshade foods and spices effect my joints, especially tomatoes and potatoes. I know everyone reacts differently, but maybe you can see if you leave them out you will feel better.

[@mamazeno1672]

P s Also look up Healthy Hunnies for eating. Slim on Starch.

[@carolynlapota5495]

I was thinking of making the veggie soup you put in Chef AJ’s Ultimate Weight Loss book . I need to look it up again. I also follow Dr Goldner who helps people heal from autoimmune disease. She will be on Chef AJ i. The next few months. See her you tubes making her smoothies You might check her out. Merry Christmas .

[@veganangel68]

Hi Heather, have you tried taking a turmeric supplement?

[@emills767]

Hi Heather. I am also in Portland, and have RA. Do you take any medications for your RA?

[@mamazeno1672]

Please look into PMR Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I thought my Auto immune was just arthritis issues. Went on the protocol Prednisone to test if it was this and like a miracle my severe aches went away. Please look this up.🙂♥️
