Questions and Answers (Medical)

à  After using the shakes for two weeks I am still craving sweets at night is there something you can suggest that will help?

As you continue to make small choices in improving your lifestyle, both your cravings and mood swings will begin to disappear. When you are having a craving choose a healthy snack. Try a piece of hard cheese with a slice of apple or ½ of a grapefruit. You may also find it helpful to take 1 capsule of LipoChromizyme with an 8 fl. oz. glass of water.

à  I have been using The Enzyme Diet Superfood but notice abdominal pain and gas 20-30 minutes after drinking a shake. What is causing this?

1% of the population is allergic to soy. This is manifested by severe gas, bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. You may not be allergic to soy but also may be experiencing these symptoms from either the digestive enzymes with TED, or the increased fiber. Most people who share your symptoms do best by gradually increasing their dose of the product. Begin with 1/4  of a packet in 2 fl oz of water. Do this for a week then try ½ of a packet in 4 fl oz of water,  2 times per day. Slowly build up until the shakes are tolerated at full strength twice daily.

à  I have recovered from an estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Can I use the soy version of The Enzyme Diet?

Soy contains natural phytoestrogens. The scientific research is unclear as to whether these natural estrogens help protect against or promote any estrogen dependent cancer (breast, ovary, uterus). It would be best to use the Whey protein version of The Enzyme Diet.

à  What are your recommendations for a Type II diabetic who wants to begin The Enzyme Diet Tube Program?

Research demonstrates that even a 10% weight loss helps to normalize blood sugars, blood fats and blood pressure. The Enzyme Diet Tube Program was created by Weight Loss Experts and is a great way to help you lose your unhealthy weight. While cutting your calories, monitor your sugars closely. As you lose weight follow up with your personal physician as they may need to suggest changes in your medications.

à  I started using The Enzyme Diet 2 weeks ago started getting headaches in the early afternoon. Are my headaches related to the diet?

It is not unusual for someone to decrease their calorie intake and then complain of headaches. Your symptoms may be related to highs and lows in your blood sugar levels.  Try eating ½ of an E.N.E.R.G.Y Bar mid morning and mid afternoon. You can also use any of the shake recipes found in “the Scoop” section of The Enzyme Diet magazines. These recipes contain a few more calories and may help to even out your blood sugar levels between meals.

à  I am trying to gain weight. I have a very small build and eat very nutritious meals. What do you recommend?

You can use your favorite Enzyme Diet shake flavor along with a scoop of Proteabolic Protein Powder and a scoop of Mass Nutrients as a superfood meal supplement.

à  Is the enzyme diet safe for me to give my children as a nutritional drink once a day?

Yes, The Enzyme Diet makes a great snack and can be used as a meal supplement. Certainly if you are time pressured, it is also healthier to have a Superfood shake than a “meal” from a fast food restaurant.  You can also add a scoop of Proteabolic Protein Powder to the shake for extra protein. Refer to some of the fun and delicious recipes at www.TheEnzymeDiet.com, these provide extra calories and a variety of flavors.

à  I have high blood pressure. What is the level of caffeine in the Chocolate Enzyme Diet?

The chocolate TED is flavored using real cocoa. There are only 3 grams of cocoa per serving. The caffeine content in cocoa is <1%, which means there is less than 3mg of caffeine per serving. This is not enough to exert a physiological effect as a stimulant and will not raise your blood pressure.

à  Could the fiber in The Enzyme Diet Superfood be causing gas?  If so, is there a way to help prevent or decrease this side effect?

Fiber can result in increased flatulence. You cannot digest insoluble fiber because you lack the necessary enzymes. The normal bacteria found within the intestinal tract do have the enzymes necessary to digest fiber. The by-product is gas. Additionally, the balance of “good” and “bad” flora determines how much gas you experience. Using probiotics such as Infinity2’s Total Flora Support is a good way to reduce this problem.
