i just read that oranges are bad for NBE. I don't like water, so've lately -been drinking a ton of orange juice a day instead. Is this why i've stopped growing perhaps?

can someone explain to me why oranges are bad for nbe? i know on the food list it says because it is a yin food...but what exactly does that mean?

orange juice and beer are my favourites! i don't know how i'll live without them!!!

Beer? I'm on Natureday. Is beer bad? I love beer, too!

if you go to 'food and drink recipes' on the main page and then to the 'boobie food' thread, it lists foods that are supposed to be bad for NBE.

when asked for an explanation they said because they are yin foods. but that doesn't really mean anything to me cause i don't know what yin and yang foods are and how they relate to NBE.

do you still drink beer while you're taking NBE? i like to have a beer now and then as well but haven't had any for a while because alcohol's supposed to be bad for NBE. maybe beer is not so bad because it's made of hops and they're supposed to be good?

Yin or yang explains whether a food is a warming or a cooling type (nothing to do with whether hot or cold). Many body situations can be treated with food therapy, so is important to know about, if measles eat yin, if sore throat eat yin, if fatigue eat yang, if anemia eat yang. In this way yang food not good if you're irritable, yin food not good if you're want booby growth. Correct diet can make the difference.

So, does this mean I should avoid beer altogether? I adore beer! Is wine OK?

yes i've still been eating and drinking whatever i feel like since i started NBE about a month ago.

the only thing i've changed is that i'm aiming for higher carbs and protein! and i'm not aloud things with caffeine or carbonated drinks anymore (but i'm allergic to cafeine anyways and don't really like pop so it's kinda easy)

i've been drinking orange juice almost everyday...and beer at least once a week and since i've already had a little bit of growth in this past month i don't think that it has hindered my NBE at all.

so i'm going to continue to drink all my favorite stuff. i don't really see a scientific reason why i can't anyways! at least one hasn't really been explained to me.

let me know what u decide to do!

yvonne

ps. (tiger lily i'm not saying that there's anything wrong with your beliefs, just that i seem to be doing ok with what i've been consuming thus far)

hey all-Ages ago i took a right kicking for what i put regarding my eating/drinking habbits during NBE -so please if your likley to want a pop, it was done a couple of months ago

I have stopped drinking Coffee since and drink less coca cola
But i drink wine every night, drink beer when i feel and still drink soda
My Program is called lazy girl, because i chose not to cut any of my treats out-i smoke /drink etc

I drink fresh orange almost every day, and cannot imagine somthing so naturaly full of anti oxidents,potassium,vitimin C,calcium,vtiminD being bad for any one.

I have been growing, ok not massivly but any growth is good growth as far as im concirned,so in my opinion drink/alohol/smoking etc has not hindered me so far-But i do agree with cutting the caffine, you really do feel better once the withdraral ends.

I apreciate some people have been alittle more dedicated in changing their life for NBE but if this is going to work for me i have to do it my way and i don't think im doing to bad

So, some may not sound logical to you, means it's wrong or doesn't make sense, but I don't know. I tried and it worked, this is my experience. It's all advice from older person in China that knows traditional ways.

Are ying or yan food good for NBE?

Thanks,
Corrie

For booby growth the cooling property of yin is not helping. Need to find other food, yang or neutral food, because too much yin have effect of cooling down, so it means body not make growth easy in that condition.

I love orange juice. :( I'm not very trustful in the whole yin yang thing. Maybe there's something on it, but personally I think reasonable arguments and information are better to follow and I have not heard of anything that orange juice contains that would hinder NBE. It's full of vitamins though.

I drink OJ almost every morning at breakfast. I have not heard that drinking it would hinder growth. I'm on the Natture products and I mix my liquid in the OJ. I actually think that the combination has been helpful. Right after I drink it in just about and hours time I will start to get the tingling sensations. Hmmmmmmmmm, this is interesting. I wouldn't believe all that you read.

Oh, gross! Just taken the Natureday with a little red wine, which is what I happen to be drinking right now! Don't try it, girls! It made me heave! Luckily, just managed to keep the boob juice down!

Here's a list of Ying, Yan, and Neutral foods that I found onine:

Now, I don't know if *all* of these Yin foods are bad for boob growth. I mean, Barley & Soya beans are both good for NBE (it's what the infamous Eve M used in her NBE program!). And if you notice with all these sources, there are some foods that fall into both Yin & Yang (i.e. Feng Shui Institute & MotherNature.com says Tomato is a Yin food, but then Global Gourmet Today says it's a Yang food). Sooo, I would take Tiger Lily's advice of avoiding Yin foods into consideration, but I personally wouldn't live by it. I mean, it won't be the end of the world if you eat some Yin foods. I highly doubt that eating a salad for lunch or having a banana as a snack is going to hinder your boob growth that much, so don't stress!

this whole yin/yang thing is very abstract and i don't really see anything that shows real proof that it's bad for NBE.

im gonna stick to the more scientific arguments and methods i think.
