Oil substitution?
This morning I made some vanilla protein pancakes and they were good but the recipe I found called for 1/2cup oil.

I've heard applesauce or…

Natural foods?
So I just watched "Hungry for Change" a documentary and it got me thinking about a natural diet. There are so many chemicals in everything we eat. I LOVE the concept of eating natural foods but it just seems so huge and unrealistic to me, how do I change that? Is anyone eating all natural foods that can give some pointers…

Milk Substitute
Okay, I admit I've seen some posts about this, but I need opinions. I am a HUGE milk lover. I was drinking 2+ glasses of whole milk a day before my son was born. He's lactose intolerant so no more milk for me. I tried almond milk but it was way to nutty tasting so it's out of the running. I hate buying a huge carton just…

How many calories can your body process in a day?
I assume there is some sort of limit? ie if I go 7000cals over my daily limit I won't put on two pounds by the next day. My understanding is that weight gain is caused by going over, over a period of time. So weight gain wise, is it better to binge massively in one day (and presumably just poo out a load of calories), than…

Migraine food triggers?
I've been to see my doctor about regular migraines and he told me to keep a food diary to see if there are any food triggers. Only he didn't tell me (and I didn't think to ask) how much time there is between eating something and it causing a migraine. Is it within the hour of eating a trigger or within a day or anywhere in…
