Problem - can't eat that much food


 

Hello everyone,

I have recently realized that I can not eat all the foods advised because it is too much for me. I am small and used to eating only twice a day with 1350 calories. 1500 calories is my maximum for the holiday season.
Since starting Budwig I realised that I need to eat 3 times a day otherwise I can not fit in all the required foods (lentils, beans, salads, juices, etc). Budwig mix one portion is about 700 calories. If I eat it twice a day as nesessary I get about 1400-1500 calories already. I try to not add much fruit to it to decrease calories but still due to oil it is very high calory. If I add juices and other foods it is 2000 calories which is way above what I am used to or can tolerate. To me it is a struggle to have dinner, normally I am so full by the end of the day that I have no desire for foods. I have gained 2 kg since starting Budwig protocol which is ok but if I keep eating 3 times a day my weight is going to go up even more, which is not good. I can't do sports due to health now I just walk on most days but it is not enough for such a calory intake to keep the weight at my normal level. Not sure how to solve this. How can you eat that much food (I know we do not have to eat all listed foods by Sandra in one day)? I just feel like taking Budwig mix twice a day + salad and juices is more than enough for me. But in this case I am not eating all the beans and lentils required for protein, iron, etc. Is there anyone else struggling to fit in all the foods and eating 3 times a day? How do solve this?

Thanks,
Irina


 

Hi, Irina. I don't think it is possible to eat all the foods. I eventually dropped the lunch salad and only made juice for lunch, myself. I didn't try to eat beans every day. I had soup for evening dinner twice a week, and in the soup I added beans or lentils. On the other days that I ate cooked food it was a varied combination of beets, asparagus, green beans, mushrooms, peppers, etc over quinoa or brown rice with oleolux. On alternating days I ate raw cruciferous veggies, dipping them in a "dressing" made from flax oil, olive oil, pumpkinseed oil and ACV. On those days I also included raw organic almonds for protein.

The FO/CC twice a day is important. Work everything else around that, as much as you are comfortable with.

Thank you Rod!


 


Just try to stay true to the "spirit" of the protocol. Slight deviations in diet aren't going to be critical, as long as the diet is in harmony with the protocol.

Rod,

 

I vaguely remember an email you sent regarding enema’s. Did you say the coffee enema made the difference for you or was that someone else? If it was you, do you think the water enema would be just as effective as the coffee enema?

Coffee has many benefits, not sure what water would do. I don't know if it was just coincidence or the protocol slowly working, but the headache I had been suffering for over a year 24/7 vanished a few weeks after I started the coffee enemas. I started coffee enemas about 6 months into the journey.

Thank you so much Rod. I began doing the high enemas that Dr. Schulz talks about but I think I’m going to try the coffee enemas for a while and see what happens.
