It seems that since I have been juicing I am getting Canker Sores. At first I put lime in the juice. I stopped that. But still get some sores. Does anyone else have this problem with juicing??

The reason this happens is that the juicing is altering your pH adversely. This will occur if you get too acid OR too alkaline. You will need to either cut back on the amount of juice or eat some protein and fat along with the juice.

How much juice is recommended for Carbo   types??  Just a couple of ounces?? I have been drinking about 8 ounces at lunch and  8 ounces at dinner. I don't drink it every day, but most.

Also, if the juicing is affecting my pH adversely, could it also be messing up my blood sugar?? I seem to be having a problem with it after having done the juicing for a while.

Thanks for your help.

I would recommend 10 to 12 ounces of low carb vegetable juice at the start of every meal.  You can add one moderate carb and one lemon or lime.  Let me know if you need other ideas.

Good Health,

Sorry but I had replied to your last post earlier today and did not get to this one until now.  I would say that based on your experiences with the juicing that your metabolic type may have shifted and you may need to do some fine tuning.  If you continue to have a problem with the juice let me know and I can make some recommendations for you.  Could you also reply with the percentages within your autonomic nervous system and your oxidative system?  I'll be in touch with you soon.

Good Health,

Glen,

My test results show 28% Sympathetic, 55% Balanced, 16% Parasympathetic 

64% Slow Oxidation, 35% Fast Oxidation.

I have stopped juicing to see the effects. One thing I did notice is that after juicing for awhile my emotions started to change. (Limbic system). I started to be somewhat more emotional pretty well all the time, not just after I ate. Now I have not juiced for a few days and I seem pretty normal now.

I had good energy while juicing, but then I usually do have pretty fair energy. Not haywire energizer-bunny energy, but work hard all day long energy.

I am still eating vegetables, but eating them whole. I eat them as the first part of my meal.

Thank you for your help and concern.

BTW, I am 6' tall, weigh 175 lbs, male, 51 years old. I am in pretty darn good shape, if I say so myself.
I work hard physically 4-5 days a week.

Porky Pig,

After looking at your percentages within your MT we may be working with what I have suspected and that is a shift within your MT.  Your imbalances were not that significant and you may have already shifted so I would recommend that you really focus on your diet record sheets and experiment with your macronutrient ratios and the foods you are consuming.  This shift may be towards a mixed type.  Keep me updated because this is an important time for support.

Good Health,
