Re: gas/bloating after starting ut?

"Thanks! Do you combine your high protein diet with urine therapy?"

Yes I do.  I've been doing UT for 3 1/2 years, high protein for one month short of 2 years.  I've read all the "bad" things about eating meat and UT, and particularly high protein and UT - and none of it has been true for me.  I don't even remember any change in my UT when I switched to meat.  No change in taste of urine, nothing.  Don't know what you've found, but once I went onto UT with a cup and a half minimum per day, after several days and by at least a month I'd gotten past the 'rotten' programming and my urine smoothed out.  Yes, I could often tell what I'd eaten the day before - I love garlic, still do, and that comes out in the urine.  But there are a lot of stories out there that meat will make your urine taste bad.  It sure hasn't for mine.  During my time on UT there was a few days that I was hospitalized for knee replacement and spent several days on pain killers and was afraid to drink urine, so stopped for more than a week.  (Also, its tough to drink your own urine while in the hospital.)  In going back on UT the taste was strong and rather unpleasant but smoothed out within just 2 or 3 days.

Again, don't know where others are coming from - but, our bodies were designed to be on high protein.  (I'm a creationist, just believe differently than others.)  From several archeological studies some scientists believe that we didn't begin to develop large brains until we began eating fat.  There is nothing wrong with fat - including animal fat, which drives my cardiologist up the wall.  It's the trans-fats and all the added stuff with corn syrup the first and foremost killer of humans, that is added to everything and then mixed with the meats and vegetables that we eat that kill us.  I'm an old guy and have a 32 year old granddaughter who eats nothing but fruit and produce from health food stores and is vegetarian.  She swears I'm going to kill myself.  She is not over weight but she does have allergies and after several months I convinced her to cut out all grains.  She did that and lost 10 pounds in a week, mostly from her stomach.  She, like me, can't leave sourdough bread alone (I eat it on very special occasions) and after cutting out grains went on vacation and ate sourdough bread and her weight came right back - all around the middle too.

There is just so much misinformation out there about nutrition that even the dieticians and particularly doctors don't know what they are talking about.  My diabetes clinic, Virginia Mason - a world renowned clinic in Seattle, has done diabetes research since the 1920s and their high protein diet has helped many diabetics and flies in the face of the American Diabetes Association diet.

Yeah, I still fall off my diet from time to time, but it's easy to get back on.
