The latest Herb Doctor interview has a long discussion on weight loss from a caller. One of the things mentioned that I am trying to incorporate is having carrots with my meals. I normally have them away from meals. Dr. Peat said that they bind fats and are helpful for losing weight. He also talked about keeping the temperature high 98.6-99 and that it shouldn't drop too low during the night. He said progesterone is helpful in setting the temperature since estrogen lowers temperature. The conversation with the caller was quite thorough and worth listening to.
