Q and A

Yes, you can be successful on the Anti-Estrogenic Diet or the Warrior Diet without taking the supplements; however I would suggest finding some good multi-vitamins somewhere. Supplements are designed to fill a nutritional void in the typical diet. Nutritional deficiencies are common in today's world. The nutritional value of plant foods today pale in comparison to their equivalents hundreds of years ago.Unfortunately, even the veggies and fruits that we eat today are not sufficient enough to satisfy the body's requirements for essential nutrients (see my blog - "What's Wrong with Our Dirt"). In order to control cravings and maximize your body's ability to burn fat while functioning properly, it's important to make sure that your body has been provided with complete nourishment including all the right minerals, trace minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants, detoxifiers and hormonal supportive nutrients in the most bioactive form. A deficiency of even one essential nutrient, be it a single vitamin or a trace mineral can cause serious metabolic setbacks, with a compromised capacity of the body to utilize food and generate energy. Our line of supplements was specially designed to do just that; support the body's demand for essential nutrients as well as hormonal and immuno supportive compounds for reaching a peak energetic state and a vibrant metabolism. That-s not to say that if you eat foods listed in the diet, respect the proper food combinations and get some exercise, that you won't see some good results, but then again why settle for good when you can reach excellence.

Question:
What if I want to follow the Anti-Estrogenic Diet, but am allergic to nuts or fish or can't eat seafood?

Answer:
We've been asked repeatedly for advice regarding allergies to fish, seafood or nuts. The answer is simple; avoid any food that you're sensitive or allergic to, even if it appears in the list of recommended foods on the AE diet. Try substituting it with other foods on the list. For instance, fish can be substituted by eggs, dairy or beans and rice. If you're sensitive to almonds, substitute them with walnuts or pecans or vice versa. The Anti Estrogenic Diet book shows you clearly how to eliminate all allergy promoting foods from your diet. Things aren't complicated, use your instincts and common sense, avoid anything that is problematic and stick to whatever works for you.

Below is a question that I've been receiving lately, along with my answer.

Feedback Question: I am 60 years old, have had a hysterectomy and have not been on any replacement hormone. I do have hot flashes and I am over-weight by 75 lbs. My question is that I didn't see any thing about this diet for someone who has had a hysterectomy.

Answer: The Anti-Estrogenic Diet applies to any adult regardless of age, gender or health condition. It provides the knowledge and nutritional means to defend the body from the sickening effects of estrogenic chemicals, phytoestrogens and harmful estrogen metabolites. The Anti-Estrogenic Diet is not a medical treatment, but rather a natural approach to preventing and lowering the risk associated with industrial and natural estrogens which overwhelm our bodies today. And, for that matter it may be helpful in any case, including someone who has had a hysterectomy.
