    Don't her first two points contradict each other? Protein inhibits the processing of 'green' benefits... so eat greens with protein. Huh?

    Also (from her link) "melons are best eaten alone" really cracked me up for some reason. I just had visions of people rushing off to a quiet room... "Leave me alone! I'm eating melon!" Hehe.

    But yeah... she's full of crap. Smile and nod, and enjoy your smoothie.

    Oh my gosh, guys, you are too much. I'm sitting here cracking up. Thanks for making me so less irritated! LOL

    When she was pitching in her "do this" "eat this" "your body needs this" I was quick to inform her that I am an Allied Health major in one of the top universities, have a 3.7 gpa and have taken many classes on healthy lifestyles, nutrition, human anatomy and physiology, biology, etc. I know what the body needs, and I could explain the complex digestion processes and what each individual source (protein/fat/carbs/vits/minerals) does and how it affects different body processes.

    My shake was delicious and good for me and that's all I care about, haha.

    Why the hell is she buying her cat hormone free chicken?? I'd LOVE to have that kind of money - and the kind of time it takes to randomly rant about a protein shake...

    You just keep doin' your thing! And in the future block her from seeing any of your protein shake pictures. :smokin:

    Hahaha! Can I please friend her? I need some more laughter in my life! Imagine what she'd have said about the chicken, quinoa, and peas I fed my kids for dinner... My kids that box for exercise, lol!

    LOL!!! ROFL!!! It's not that serious I combine protein with spinach and chicken a lot it really doesn't affect me much. This lady is too hardcore for me and I'm an athlete... jtfo

    I guess she's on the team of "friends don't let friends combine foods or let their melons touch?"

    you can tell she means well...but seriously...

    enjoy your healthy shake! :)

    Im still laughing about the chicken she wants you to get that she feels is fit for her cat! lol

    Same here- that's the bit that just sent me over the edge. I'm going to be giggling about that every time I feed the cats now. LOL Science Diet anyone?

    I would say 'thanks for caring about me. I'm following medical advice (losing weight is medical advice)'. I'd Thank her for the caring (because to her she IS trying to help) but let her know I'm doing my own thing. Still- really really funny stuff there.

    Makes me think of a giant picnic plate- no food touches any other food!

    I suspect this is the key to her rantings:

    12. what is your blood type?

    There is a book pushed by a huge new-agey "church" organization -- peopled almost exclusively by the kind of person who cooks hormone free chicken for their cat, that claims your blood type is the key to everything (If I remember it is called "eat right for your type", and makes nutritionists fall over laughing).

    Hmmm, well at least there's a small group of house cats out there getting fed some good chicken from Costco. And sounds to me like this lady isn't getting enough nooky at home. And I bet she has near nervous breakdowns when she plans her menu for the day.

    wow. Just eat food. Seriously, and don't starve yourself. And workout. You can do all these neat things, but really science basically goes you eat, your body process everything you eat one way our another and then stuff comes out.

    That gave me a good laugh. I needed that. I think you are doing great. I honestly read the whole thing and all that stands out right now is the Hawaiian Colonic Lady and feeding the cat Costco chicken.

    Keep up the good work
    The only thing I remember from it is the cat eating Costco chicken too...which made me automatically think "Crazy Cat Lady!"

    Rofl! That post should have come with a disclaimer to not drink and read at the same time! She's probably in a corner of some room gnawing on her crayons. What's a villi?

    Haha, villi are tiny, finger-shaped processes of the mucous membrane in the small intestine that serve in the absorption of nutrients.

    So she takes some nutrition advice from some (likely) quack and suddenly she's an expert? Ha.

    Ooooh I have relatives like that.

    And many, many customers.

    This lady isn't even in the same area code as whatever the hell her point was in the beginning there. Whooboy.

    You put food in your body. Your body takes what it needs, and can. If you start getting medical symptoms of a deficiency, THEN you can worry. In the meantime, you're fine. If we were all striving to optimize our nutritional efficiency, we'd be drinking tasteless grey formulations through a straw six times per day.
