Rosedale Book
Hi , I just wondered how I can keep up to date on the newest
ideas Dr. Rosedale has. I am getting no help from my Dr. or others
I have seen previously. They confirm I have "fluid" and not fat. I
have eaten a healthy diet for years.
Off gluten. Occ r ice or baked potato as they say the potassium in
the potato is good for me. I am on nature thyroid and have anxiety
issues. I also wondered if the supplements have changed over the
years OR if you are aware of a natural diuretic. With the blood
pressure rising, I do not want the medication but cannot get the
information form the medical community! Thank you. (I also have red
wine 5 days per week and am wondering if that is adding to my
abdominal and finger fluid) Just very , very frustrated.

The information in Dr. Rosedale's book, The Rosedale Diet has only been proven over and over again to work. There is not changes to it. It is very simple. Very low carbohydrate, high fat, moderate protein. If you are eating a potato you eating a big bowl of sugar. Read the book and it will explain everything. Also on our blog you can get lots of interviews and papers which only really support all that is in the book.

Thank you Fiona. I have read most of the book. I am glad there are not changes! Someone on a comment said it is outdated.
With the health problems I have I look forward to proving any critic wrong.
I do need some advice on the supplements. I cannot get all of those for a few reasons. The ALA looks important.Can you tell me , can you do this life plan without all those? I am allergic to many meds and keep my supplements to a multi, vit D , am resuming mag., co q10 and fish oil. Also a C. Thanks for your help.

It is amazing, but all of the science and trials and data only keep supporting what Dr. Ron has been saying all along, it has taken them long enough to catch up! His knowing that one must keep it to moderate protein fro 20 years ago is now finally being supported by all the studies on mTOR (high protein stimulating cancer). The only addition would be that now there is stevia which is a better sweetener if you must have one. Also fish, would be best to use fresh wild deep sea fish because of the metal content in farm fish. It does not go without saying to opt for organic over other options.
Your list sounds like a good start. Make sure your fish oil is fresh and stored in a glass bottle, and that your COQ10 in the oil form and not the powdered one, and add a potassium. You have great questions. I would love to make your question public, while maintaining your email as private, would you approve this? There are some others on the site that would also give you some great advice who area a few years ahead of your journey.

Of course....anything we can learn from one another...!! My fish oil is not in a bottle. Fisoil....I got it as it said mercury free.
Would you say the Alph Lip Acid is essential or can I do this plan with out that.
I am teetering on high blood pressure so Potassium a great idea but how much ?
I am so eager as I just got started, with being told "there is nothing we can do for you" with my ideopathic edema. Yet, "they' do not mind saying I am carrying 30 plus lbs of fluid.
I thank you SO much for getting back to me!

Hi kjf1215
• You said: (I am teetering on high blood pressure so Potassium a great idea but how much ?)
Potassium does play a role in regulating Blood Pressure. The how much, would be determined by the amount you are getting from your food.
In Dr. Ron's book is information about potassium.
I am not a trained health or medical type person so I can not give any specifics in the amount that you should be getting each day.
This online tool will get you in the ball park of how much potassium is in the food you eat. Nutrition Facts
I am not endorsing this info but it is a good read >> Daily Potassium Requirements
It's true, Dr. Ron's book was published some time ago — however, the guidelines within those pages are timeless as my health has greatly improved over this past year since I have followed them and serves as my own personal testament..
I encourage you to reread the book ever now and then - things will start to gel together as you start seeing the truth that is written.
Wishing you the best of health ..

Thank you Ken. I appreciate your response.
Do you know what kind of bread , or cracker Dr . Ron recommends now? Is it the same as in the book? Or does he now like gluten free items?
(I tried them , gave up oatmeal as well) thank you

You're welcome kjf1215..
At the moment I don't know of any changes Dr. Ron has made concerning the eating of bread or cracker outside what he has listed in his book. There may be some changes in his new material that he is working on.
I too gave up oatmeal, which I loved, grew up eating it - it is recommended by many doctors for diabetic patients, which is akin to pouring gasoline on a fire - I would eat around a cup of oatmeal in the morning and my Blood Sugar would stay close to 200 all day. The standard diabetic diet that is promoted by many among the medical profession is a slow killer. Dr. Ron's method has proven that to me, it has literally saved me from an early grave.
You mentioned a natural diuretic - Dr. Ron's health plan causes just that but is safe. I had a lot of water retention, I would say at least 30 or so years but didn't realize had bad it was until I started using Dr. Ron's plan. I am not only declared by my doctor as being non-diabetic but also have been able to get off 6 daily meds for my high blood pressure, "which I struggled with about 26 years" and that it was never really controlled but I sure went through a rough time with some of the meds that were prescribed.
I have had absolutely amazing results while using Dr. Ron's plan - it is simple yet very profound in it's work within the human body.
You ask "how I can keep up to date on the newest ideas Dr. Rosedale has"
You can by: Dr. Rosedale's Website Here on the HelpLine On Facebook
Wishing you the best of health & have a great day.

Ken,
Thanks again, you are so encouraging. Yes, with my BP (they are threatening medication) high, 30 lbs of fluid, what helps BP ??? Oatmeal .
I did the Irish oats, really, have done everything "right" , no cookies, cakes, treats. And am worse as I would try occasional GFree bread,
and a baked potato!! Was told over and over eat them for potassium.
I am glad you have made progress and my deepest thanks for encouragement!!

Thanks Ken!
Always look at the labels, carbohydrate - fiber = net cars aka sugars. There are some other low carb breads out there like low carber from whole foods that I believe has 4 net carbs per slice. In my first year of transitioning I used to feel the 'need' for bread but not any more. It is very much a mind set, but there are foods out there to get your over that transition for sure.

Decaf coffee, you asked on a private Face book message is fine.

Any suggestions for recipes for low carb almond muffins? I read in on of Fiona's responses to someone that is an option! Thanks.

Hi, I have followed Dr. Ron's eating plan for almost 3 weeks and have not lost any weight.
It is not hard to follow for me as I did not eat gluten products , "junk" anyway. The only change was making sure to add good fats to my daily diet. I am discouraged and was wondering if anyone else faced this problem.
I also wondered if spaghetti squash is okay to eat!
Thank you so much,
Kathy

Hi Kathy
Read my reply & questions here
I don't know about the "spaghetti squash" spaghetti = not good carbs.
Hang in there ..

It is just squash. You cook it and with your fork can make it like spag noodles but it is squash
Is squash too starchy I guess? I did not find it on the good or bad list!
Thanks,
Kathy

I was thinking you had a special recipe w/spaghetti & squash mixture.
Squash according to this has a good amount of sugar per cup >> Squash
It is good that you are seeking answers - it's heading in the right direction ..

Kathy just an aside: cause I'm not familiar with Zucchini/Squash - will have to excuse me but I don't get out much :-)
According to this Zucchini - Squash are basically the same with Zucchini being a member of the Squash family
Broccoli & Cauliflower also have basically same amount of sugar ..
Zucchini, Broccoli, Cauliflower is on the A List - therefore it seems reasonable that Squash would be okay
