<p>Put this book on your wish list: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Home-Sausage-Making-How-Techniques/dp/158017471X" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Home-Sausage-Making-How-Techniques/dp/158017471X</a></p> <p>Nobody said you have to eat it whole. I agree that if you didn't grow up on it, it's hard to get down. Making it into sausage is how I get around it.</p>

<p>I'd say that eating a little more some days and less other days is actually the natural way to go. You could try eating 3 meals a day during the week (and I agree that too much carbs with breakfast will lead to mid-morning hunger) then on the weekends, eat as much as you like. This keeps leptin at healthy levels.</p>

<p>Agar Agar is a seaweed that thickens nicely, I use that, but agree that if you just reduce it, you have no need thicken. </p>

<p>Yes, your VLC diet can cause you to not handle insulin very well. I'm a paleo nutritionist. I would suggest you up your carbs to 50 - 75 grams per day through roots and tubers and get to a gym to get some more muscle tone. A VLC diet of under 30g is not that great in the long term. Diana</p>

<p>Sorry Kamal I didn't realize I shouldn't put a website there. Nala Walla - I don't know what the NTI program is. I did Nutritional Therapy Association's program and am a NTP, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. </p>

<p>I recently wrote a post about why you should eat primarily cooked food: <a href="http://www.radiancenutrition.com/2011/08/19/put-down-that-kale-smoothie-why-you-should-cook-your-food/" rel="nofollow">http://www.radiancenutrition.com/2011/08/19/put-down-that-kale-smoothie-why-you-should-cook-your-food/</a></p> <p>Diana</p>

<p>Hi all, I just wanted to add that I attended NTA and found it a terrific foundation. I now have a pretty paleo focused nutrition practice in the Boston area. I agree that it's focused more on Weston A. Price than "Paleo" exactly. You can just remove fermented grains and there you have it, Paleo! Plus, they teach people that you need to soak your grains before consuming them, which removes a lot (not all) of the antinutrient components. Grains or no grains, that's a small issue compared to what they teach well, which is that a nutrient dense diet, full of good fats and things like bone broth and saurkraut is the way to go. There are some great qualities in raw milk cheese for example. Some Paleo/Primal folks are for it, and other against it. This program will help give you the backbone to decide whether or not you think cheese is a good thing for you (and your clients). </p> <p>On top of this Gray Graham is really very smart and his new book on epigenetics is amazing! I hope he presents at the next Ancestral Health Foundation. Nobody is talking about epigenetics in these forums.</p> <p>They DO NOT teach applied kinesiology. They do teach Neuro-lingual testing to determine the body's need for a particular nutrient. This style of testing is not muscle testing. You can use it as a tool or not in your practice. If someone is not into it, you don't have to use it. It's not the focus of the program, only a tool.</p> <p>Regarding the supplements: Yes, they do teach you that digestive support can help people, particularly when they are adjusting from the Standard American Diet to a WAPF or Paleo diet. I usually suggest digestive support to all of my new clients. Most people have metabolic derangement and their livers and adrenal glands are not performing at an optimal level. Diet alone can not always reverse a lifetime of poor eating. They do not suggest a "one size fits all" approach to supplements. Most paleo practitioners out there work with some sort of supplementation.</p> <p>I've taken what I've learned through NTA and have expanded on it through reading and conferences. I highly suggest anyone intersted in nutrition consider attending. It's short, inexpensive, conveinent, and a great backbone for starting a practice. Another Paleo/Primal pracitioner who graduated from NTA is Nora Gedgaudas, author of "Primal Body, Primal Mind", presenter at the last AHS and one of the smartest people I've met. </p> <p>Please feel free to contact me directly for specific questions.</p> <p>Diana Rodgers</p>

<p>I went to this program and run a paleo practice. It was a great foundation.</p> <p>Diana Rodgers</p>

<p>Kombucha is relatively low carb because the sugar feeds the scoby. The sugar is gone after the fermentation process. Some companies add more fruit at the end for taste, which adds carbs.</p>

<p>YES. don't go there. Raw cheese from organic grass fed cows is ok if tolerated.</p>

<p>I also went to Nutritional THerapy Association and got a great education. Highly suggest looking into it. I've taken it Paleo.</p> <p>Diana Rodgers Radiance Nutritional Therapy</p>

<p>It's a supplement that can help reduce/eliminate the taste for sugar. It's ok to take - pretty safe</p> <p>Diana Rodgers Radiance Nutrition</p>

Berries are fine, and even some fruit as long as it's not 100% fructose. You shouldn't fear carbs - they can do a lot of good, especially by reducing cortisol. I would have some bloodwork and an ASI test to see what your levels are, and slowly introduce carbs. the goal is to be able to eat some carbs and not to have a huge reaction either way to carbs - you want your body to be able to handle them. If you are having this large of a reaction, you are not metabolically working properly.

You will certainly have fuel to fight any vegan or vegetarian and especially those raw foodies after doing this program!

You should look into NTA again. People study there from all states. You can fly to Vegas a few times to meet in the classroom if that works. It's worth it and less expensive than a Master's Degree. I went there.
