Welcome!

Wheat, bread, pasta, corn, dairy, cabbage and pig products are not your friends  

Exercise should be your middle name.

You are going to be amazed at the changes you will go through.  

Welcome mrsnelson, it's nice to meet you. I am 1 of 3-5% of the world's AB people. Yup, I am rare. Stick around a while. Don't do what I did. (See my numbered mistakes)
1. Losing your Login information and having to start all over again
2. Not sticking around long enough on the new Diet to see any changes (Be patient)
3. Not giving yourself (body) a chance to start healing
4. Becoming impatient because you are gaining and not losing losing weight (Which eventually will happen if you are patient)

A wise person told me once that I didn't get this way overnight and that I should not expect it to be gone overnight.

Welcome to another 0

Going strong on my first week sticking strict to no wheat, dairy or corn.  Still feeling congested and migraine.  Im very motivated to push through knowing that it can and will heal my body!

That's the spirit!

When I first stopped ingesting corn, it took three weeks for the headache to stop...  Keep at it!

Make sure you drink enough water, it helped me a lot with clearing sinus congestion.  Try two glasses first thing in the morning. Some people have found that adding the juice of half a lemon and a dash of salt to the water have helped speed up the cleansing. Then during the day between meals drink a glass of water with a dash of salt.

There is a formula to help you know how much water to drink each day.
Your weight in pounds divided by two = the number of ounces each day.
So if you weigh 100 pounds, that means you should be drinking 50 ounces a day.
To help you keep track as the day goes by, start with a pitcher full in the morning with your daily amount and use from that. At the end of the day the pitcher should be empty. I let the pitcher sit out because my body seems to like room temperature water.

Good luck on this new journey!

I am drinking about a liter and a half a day and always hoping to do more.  I put salt in my water as soon as I read your post Thank you so much!

I hope you are using sea salt and not table salt. I should have clarified that in my post. Sea salt, along with the sodium, also has trace minerals which will benefit you.

Yes sea salt

Welcome, you're going to love it here.  I've been around since the 90s and I've made some wonderful "friends" here...This is the most supportive and knowledgeable group of people.  
Good luck on your journey.

Hi, I'm a new starter 0 since last weekend.
It's fine having found such a good forum  

Hi Motzi, du kannst ja deinen eigen Thread haben
Hi Motzi, You can have your own thread. You don't have go into another persons although there's nothing wrong with but it's easier to keep up with your own name as the person who started it. For you and for us who follow you.
Where in Germany are you from? I was born and raised im Harzgebirge.

Oh, I just noticed that you are not having your blood type displayed. You can do that in the Member Center. Go to the Profile and into avatar settings and choose Blood Type O. That way other Os can find you as you grow in beauty and wisdom.
