how much of an avocado can i eat?

[Secret Guest]

Especially if I have acne. I heard that I'm supposed to limit myself somehow. I just ate half of one, straight. It's so good, tastes like boiled eggs, methinks.

You can eat the whole thing. Avocados are perfect whole foods and do us a world of good. One avocado a day, most days of the week, should be safe for most people providing they have healthy kidneys.

Awesome! Sometimes I feel guilty eating a whole one in a sitting, but they're so yummy.

Why would you need healthy kidneys?

I went through a phase of eating lots of advocados, I think I must have needed something in them. I would buy 4-5 at a time, and eat them in a week. Whatever it was that I needed, I think I've had enough of it now, I cannot bear the thought of them at the moment.

hmm, i'm wondering i eat about 2 avacados a day, and i think they may be making my acne worse ? my kinesiologist said my kidneys are struggling because of my candida, and i feel because of the 4 liver flushes.
So do you recommend i cut out avacados for a while ?

Avocadoes are tough to digest and should be eaten alone or with very few other items, in a small meal. People wtih pus-type acne issues aren't digesting fats well. They still need fats, but they ahve to be careful with their digestive power. A whole avocado twice a day is quite a lot of fats. The good kind, but still. And they move very slowly down the pipe, which isn't great. Best to make guacamole with lots of garlic and use sparingly.

yes i noticed when doing enemas that a lot of the avacado would come out undigested !!

What other fat foods should i cut down on ?

[sariewarie]

"people who have pus-type acne issues aren't digesting fats well"

so would it be okay for me to carry on eating eggs, and coconut oil, i'm not sure what good fats to avoid ?

how many avacado's a week could i have safely without maybe adding to breakout ?
