Cheese/dairy

[beachbuminthecountry]

Hey Shelley or anyone else,

Is it possible to cleanse the liver while eating cheese/dairy, not alot. How hard is it on the liver. I believe it can be while taking liver cleansing herbs. Now besides cheese/dairy, what if you followed a diet like the maker's diet phase 3 which is fermented just about everything and then took liver herbs to cleanse the liver. Or just followed something like this:
Example:
breakfast:
keifer or protein shake (yours)with a slice of sourdough bread (no butter)
cup of roasted chicory with a little h/h and stevia

Lunch:
Salad (big one with differen lettuces, shredded carrots, olives, black beans, avacado, homemade salsa (made with habenaros, jalpan.,tom.,onion, acv, sea salt, garlic), sometimes cucumber or other veggies and sometimes add sardines and about 1/4 cup of cheese.

dinner:
fish or soup or both or another salad.
sometimes a burger but can I have that on sourdough bread.

Is it necessary to have grain to help absorb the toxins.

as long as the dairy is from a good organic source, preferably raw, then really it does the liver no harm.

If it's regular commercial dairy (homogonized, mass-produced) it just gives it a bit more work to do.

If dairy was bad for the liver we wouldn't be living into the double-digits. Yes it can slow down cleansing but big whoop! drink some ginger tea and presto, it's gone.

Where are you getting these questions from? Grains are not truly necessary, and they don't cleanse apart from providing fiber, which traps bile and cholesterol and takes it out, but tehre are much better fibers than bread! Breads and grains are fun foods for bulk and calories unless eaten as cooked cereal.

And there's nothing wrong with butter.

Otherwise the diet looks fine. When in doubt, stick to the candida/blood type diet. Beware of food extremism.

People always worry for me that I'm going to get backed up or ill if I don't eat grains regularly. When I tell them how much veggies I eat, and how I get beans in my diet each week, they back down. Because I eat way more veggies than they do, and even more veggies than they do grains. And, I've yet to have one grain person tell me they have a bowel movement 2-4 times per day like clockwork. But, I do ever since I upped the veggies, beans and fermented foods.

I like to have my cheese melted on a rice cake with a big glob of homemade spicy guacamole. I'll eat a couple of those for lunch sometimes. Between the rice and avocado fibers, and the spices in the guac,I don't think the thin slice of cheese on the ricecake is going to slow my liver down too much.

Now today, because my first meal of the day came so late, I had a hankering for some bread to help fill my very empty tummy. We had a half slice of pita left over in the fridge from our lamb gyro feast last night. So, I cut it into little wedges, slathered some good butter on it and then fresh crushed garlic over the top of that, then broiled it really quick in the oven. Had it as a side with some turkey cutlet and veggie juice. That way, the bread stood little chance of slowing down my digestion as it would otherwise.

Your menu sounds delicious, beachbum!

JF yours sounds better. Thank you for new food menu they sound great. Thank you for that story I understand basically if you use your veggies as the main meal and add the meats, beans, grains,cheese as the flavor then it is good that way. Thank you all.
