Doug Kaufman of the website... know the cause dot com. He has a lot of great information and some video to watch also. All of his books are very informative. Hope this helps

Rhonda--I love Know the Cause!! I am so sad that since we have switched from satellite TV to cable I can no longer watch him. I used to watch his show for 2 hours every day. I am glad he has the shows now on the computer, though. His plan is what I followed after my last baby when I was recovering from my c-section and had mastitis. That was 3 years ago. His info is the best I have found!

Dawnyama, I have never seen an actual show however I did see him in person a couple of years ago. Doug is VERY compelling and straight forward. At that time I purchased a couple of his books and recently bought his weight loss book. Unfortunately I know what to do and for a very long time have not done it, but reading how the carbs affect our bodies really stired something this time for me.

How did you do on his first phase? Do you follow it at all now?

I am jealous--you actually got to meet him? He is like my hero!! Seriously, my hubby would attest to that. Anyway, what I did was temporary to get rid of the mastitis and yeast I picked up when I had my c-section. I did the diet--but added in yogurt (plain but with added AS) with strawberries every day for lunch. I had eggs for breakfast or a protein shake and then for dinner it was meat and veggies. I tried my best to avoid the yeasty things--no mushrooms, mayo, cheese and the like. What I did to follow his "plan" as I would call it is to use the supplements he recommended. I used the Natren brand of Probiotics, the Cass Ingram brand of oil of oregano (I forgot which company he represents!) and All-One for my multivitamin. I also included coconut oil in my regime. Once my most pressing problems went away I haven't been so strict. I got down to my prepregnancy weight quite quickly after giving birth but did it by eating hardly anything. Once my appetite picked back up, once I started to feel much better, my weight picked back up too!!

Sadly, I don't follow the plan now. I haven't for a while. I am weakwilled and not motivated to try and lose weight. I think I am low carb about 90% of the day. I have a big problem with chocolate and sweets. They call to me!! I try to limit it to after dinner ala carb addict's plan but sometimes I have it more often. I have 4 kids and a hubby that feels that they shouldn't suffer while I am "dieting". I am checking up with my new thyroid doctor to see if that is what is up. I believe I have a thyroid problem that has gone unchecked for years and that is what my problem is. I should get my test results back this week and I am very excited.
