and that comes from God's own word.  It is not unhealthy either, done in moderation. Our ways of growing or cooking the meat may be unhealthy, no doubt esp combined with lack of exercise. and yes, it is wrong to be cruel to animals.  Much of our problem is based on mass production, which is now the 'norm'.  We have all but eliminated the small farms in favor of this mass production.  Small farms don't need to have cesspools of waste, they don't stink and the animals live a natural pleasant life as intended. But when we go to using feedlots, and finish the beef out, for example, with grain, which is unnatural to their digestive system (starting the grain has to be done methodically and gradually or it kills them), we create different physical reactions in the meat which I believe has caused ill health in humans (along with the unnecessary vetting).  Yes, the chicken farms and slaughter houses etc are managed terribly, nasty and mostly with inhumane operations.  How to avoid this and still eat meat?  Seek out those who raise range-fed chickens (a natural environment), or raise beef that are not given growth hormones or unnecessary routine antibiotics. You will never have mad cow disease for example on purely grass-fed beef. These growers are around.  I have a nephew in MO who offers this alternative.  We ourselves used to offer such in the way of chicken -- these "natural farmers" generally struggle to make a living, but if you want healthy meat, want an alternative to mass production, seek them out. 

do eat some chicken for more protein.  Also eat lots of fruit with cottage cheese and lots of green, leafy vegetables.  Also, a way to get more protein is nuts, like cashews or almonds and feta cheese with your salads.

For lunch today is pasta with some cheese biscuits with garlic salt, also a green salad with feta cheese.  Melons with cottage cheese for a snack.  No meat at all and I don't miss it!  You get used to it.

When I was first diagnosed, I went on a strict 2 gm sodium diet.  It is amazing how much salt is in foods.  My ENT gave me a small booklet I could fit in my pocket to carry around with me to count sodium.  It reduced the amount of fluid in my ears, which lessened the vertigo and the tinnitis.  The shocking part was that I lost 20 pounds without trying!  I never went hungry at all.  I felt better than I had in years.

I have also found that keeping my sinuses clear helps with a lower level of tinnitis.  Wine intensifies it

good luck,

have, including my DH.  I have never known anyone to keep the weight off once they come off the diet.  While there have been various studies as to healthiness/unhealthiness of the diet, I don't see how eating high fat foods came be healthy.  I do know that the diet throws your body into a ketosis, which gives you terrible breath.  When my DH was on the diet I asked him not to talk while in the car because his breath smelled so bad.  He worked with a woman who said she wondered why people would back away from her when she talked.

I think low carb is a good idea, but I don't think high fat is a good idea.  I'm not a nutritionist, just makes sense. 

The name of his book is Take-Control Diet, and there is a sample menu on the VH1 site that lists chicken breasts and sirloin, so ...... not too scary

be surprised at the energy you will have.   You'll notice a difference in about 3 days.  I'm fixing to start it again because while I get up fine in the morning, after about 2 hours I hit a wall and it takes me about 2 hours to get past it where I can work again.   The only problem is I still have 2 hours left in my morning shift when I hit that wall so need to be working. 

Anyway the diet will give you lots of energy - similar to being on energy drinks, it will be healthier for you and if you need to lose a few pounds you can do that too.
