Hi Dr Rosedale and Support

I just wanted to ask a couple more questions.
How many nuts are ok?
I got a packet of cashews/almonds/macadamias/hazelnuts/pecans/brazil nuts it
says per 100g which is how much I think I just ate has 17.5gms of protein,
fat 61.5g, saturated 9gms carbs 13.8gm, sugars 5.7g, sodium 8mg.
I am aprox 165cm's tall and so my ideal weight Im wanting to get to is 50kg.
so I so I would need 50gms of protein a day.

I was also thinking about having ricotta for breakfast with flaxseed oil
sprinkled with acai berry capsules(11000mg). it recommends 3 capsules twice
a day. Are acai berrries ok while on this programme?

   Acai berries is not something that Dr. Rosedale recommends, at all. The ricotta and flaxseed oil sounds great! Nuts, I tend to keep it simple, about 8-10 nuts in an hour if I am hungry, and then again in another hour if i am still hungry. Often we can eat nuts out of boredom or stress, but not because we are hungry, check in with your body first and eat for the right reasons.

   Health and happiness.

   Thanks fiona
   why no acai berries? they are mostly fat and protein and hardly any sugars
   or carbs, apparently great for diabetics.
   Is that covered in the book about no acai?

   Acai is VERY high in fructose, so for the same reason that fruit is not recommended, only maybe some blueberries. The marketing they are doing about Acai is very.. creative.

   i just googled it and found this - so the powder is ok right? just not the
   juice

    Acai Juice vs. Acai Powder Why Acai Juice is NOT Healthy...
   But Acai Powder is Good

   Most Acai Juices are juice blends and have high amounts of fructose.

   According to world renowned expert Dr. Robert Lustig, of the University of
   California...
   "The Juice is the Bad Part of the Fruit"

   Here's why:

      - Fructose (natural sugar in fruit) is sugar, just like sucrose (table
      sugar).
      - Fructose is equally damaging to our bodies as sucrose.
      For more info, see
   here<http://www.organic-acai-berry.com/sugar-the-bitter-truth.html>
       and here<http://www.organic-acai-berry.com/fructose-in-fruit-juice.html>
      .
      - Fruit juice is loaded with fructose.
      - Fruit juices are fruits with the fiber removed, and that's bad.
      - Fruit Juice is touted as healthy but that is a misconception.

   Most acai juices are blend of many fruit juices and most all fruit juices
   are loaded with fructose, which is unhealthy. There is a great misconception
   that fruit juices are good for us.

   Please take the time to watch the videos referenced above and learn about
   the dangers of fructose. The experts cited in these pages make a strong case
   that sugars, especially fructose, may be a primary cause of the epidemics of
   obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome.

   Since the evidence is so strong, it seems that drastically reducing our
   intake of fructose is a reasonable thing to do. Meantime, in addition to the
   other reasons to recommending acai berry powder in supplements or jar as
   discussed on this website, the fructose debate adds another compelling
   reason to select freeze-dried acai powder products over acai juice products.
