It wouldn't be the first time I'd had success with something I didn't understand.<BR/><BR/>I'm told it's not about the minerals, though. The diet part of the program is mineral heavy and the supplement part involves several different types of calcium.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-30338251707035811752009-02-18T16:47:00.000-08:002009-02-18T16:47:00.000-08:00blake, Perhaps you should consider moving to Hawa...blake, <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you should consider moving to Hawaii for health reasons. Their natural water has extremely low mineral content, averaging about 0.005 mg/L. For comparison, Sparkletts water in CA has an average of 18 mg/L. <BR/>Despite being surrounded by the sea, fresh rain water in Hawaii is filtered through and stored in igneous rock, which must account for the anomaly. <BR/><BR/>I can't see much harm from drinking distilled water, but I'm not a physician. Magnesium and calcium, the two most abundant minerals in fresh water, are essential, but are ubiquitous in foods.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-87151394203722392452009-02-18T16:12:00.000-08:002009-02-18T16:12:00.000-08:00Congrats, Knox.Yeah, the carbs are bad in excess, ...Congrats, Knox.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, the carbs are bad in excess, I'm told.

I am more energetic and don't tend to get the "late afternoon doldrums" like I used to. I am also less hungry in general and more reasonable in my portions (I can suck down ungodly amounts of pasta, rice and the like). Placebo effect? Who knows. Unless it changes, I'm sticking to it. Also, I lost all my extra weight and have got down to what I consider my normal, ideal weight. I'll never be what I was before I had kids, but I can fit into all my size 6 clothes again.knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231876226573540476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-29132518792133773952009-02-18T14:48:00.000-08:002009-02-18T14:48:00.000-08:00Interesting.

I look forward to seeing how this goes. <BR/><BR/>I asked you somewhere else, but I can't remember where, so I don't have a way to see if you answered.
