In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

Very much appreciated - thank you. It is part of a healthy diet so I'm happy to continue.

You are quite welcome.

I've been muscle tested for the organic wholegrain bread I eat, my body is fully capable of dealing with it.

Sounds like you're doing great! I wouldn't worry about it then.

The reason I gave a rather lengthy answer is that the subject of breads/grains is rather complex and controversial. It's kinda ridiculous, really. Whole foods. Should be easy. But all those other factors have complicated what should be a no-brainer.

A friend of mine is a clinical ecologist, and combined with muscle testing, it's a fantastic means to tailor your diet with things the body can digest.

Although I was quite unhappy to find my body didn't like raisin and cinnamon bagels. I love those things toasted! Mmmmm. Eating wholegrain bagels now, which test OK ;¬)

Yeah, I tested fine on an organic whole wheat bread we get at Whole Foods Market, but tested negative on their multi-grain version. I have no idea what was in that multi-grain that my body didn't like. I tried it several times and got a consistent No on it.

I don't take muscle testing as absolute, but it can help provide confirmation when trying to figure this stuff out. If the muscle testing says No, I usually avoid it. But if the muscle testing says Yes, I still might not do well with it. That's been my experience anyway.

I'll look out for sprouted grain breads, they sound rather nice.

Ezekiel and Manna are a couple of brands you can find in the frozen section. They are coarser, heartier, and chewier than regular ww breads. I recommend getting the regular ones and avoiding the 'no salt' version as it tastes awful. Amazing what a difference a little salt makes! Manna has some delicious fruit-and-nut flavors - yum!

Thanks again :¬)
