Salad In The Morning - Herbivores, Eggs

[2003]

[Attendee]

Like 7:00 AM and what I've generally been getting is salad, the romaine lettuce and tomatoes with lemon. But then I have according to the book, nce I eat a Salad, I shouldn't eat for five hours.

[Aajonus]

Well, it has to get far enough.

[Attendee]

Okay. First of all, I'd like to know a little bit more about that because I'm coming out of that meeting and the only time I'm gonna have to eat is then. So, I'm asking myself whether I should eat at a two or three hour point, and if I do choose to eat then,what kind of damage am I doing rather than if I wait to five hours.

That's the first part of my question.

The second part of the question. What kind of a salad can I start eating at these 7:00 AM breakfast meetings where I can not have to go to the five hour thing? I'm thinking like avocado, tomato, onion. How much farther can I go like, cucumber with no skin or is that getting the five hour? Green onions, regular onions. Can you gimme some insight on how I can create this salad? Just more information about the five hour thing and what I'm pushing and what I'm doing if I'm eating before the five period.

See this leaf here on this stock?

We're not made to eat this stuff. It takes a vegetarian animal 48 hours to pass it through the system. They have 60,000 times more enzymes to disassemble the cellulose molecule, but then you still look at cow and deer shit and it's still full of fiber. Not even they do it well.

So, what happens is it slows everything down and also over alkalinizes the intestines, and the intestines have to be acid in order to digest animal product. If they start mixing it and acid foods catch up with it, they neutralize each other and neither of them digest properly. That's why you want to make sure that if you have a salad, it's the last thing before you go to bed, so you wake up five hours later, down an egg or some milk that's not gonna catch up with it, and make sure your meat's eight hours later or something, so it won't catch up with it.

[Attendee]

So, meat has to be eight hours after a salad?

[Aajonus]

Should be eight hours.

[Attendee]

Avocado and tomato, is that not a salad?

[Aajonus]

No, it's not a salad.

[Attendee]

What else can I add to that to make it not a salad? Onion?

[Aajonus]

Onion is a cellulose nd you can have small amounts of it, even with meat. But it's still fiber. If it's a little bit, it's okay.

[Attendee]

I can have as many tomatoes and avocados?

[Aajonus]

Right.

[Attendee]

Is there anything else I can add to that at all? A little bit of cilantro or?

[Aajonus]

Not much.

And if you do that, if you do have a salad, then just down a lot of eggs about three hours later. Eggs are going to absorb even a few minutes after they leave the duodenum.

[Attendee]

But no earlier than three or four hours after the salad?

[Aajonus]

Two and a half hours, four eggs.

You can eat eggs two and a half hours after eating a salad, you don't have to worry about it.

[Attendee]

I can eat as many eggs as I want to, but no meat for eight hours?

[Aajonus]

Yes.

[Attendee]

Really? How about milk and butter? Same thing?

[Aajonus]

Depends on how much you eat.

Butter and fat don't depend upon the intestines for digestion. Most of that's digested in the liver.

[Attendee]

Could I have like my fruit and my butter meal, four, five hours after that?

[Aajonus]

if your animal meal was conducive to the fruit.

If you're having red meat, you don't want citrus with it, unless it's a little bit of pineapple. If it's fish or some kind of seafood or a foul, then you could have almost any kind of fruit with it as long as there's fat with it.
