HI all, Magic thanks for sharing the videos. I will have a chance to watch them tonight, since my husband is out of town. Just made this recipe for the first time. Haven't had a quesadilla in a long time but now will add to my rotation. Instead of cheese I used tahinni dressing that I had on hand instead. Also, could you…

Good morning all, Having oatmeal/berries, hemp seed breakfast then off to the gym for weight training and cardio. Thanks for sharing what apps you are using so many good choices to track.

Karrie your knitting looks fabulous. Sorry to hear a lot of you are feeling blah :(. I am very slowly adding food back into my diet. So, far I have found that the cruciferous vegetables are suspect. So, I will take those out of my diet for awhile and keep moving down my list of foods to add. The good news is that I am…

Ok I just wrote a novel and it did not post. Just finished my 9 day water only fast. 99% of my symptoms have resolved. Now I just need to figure out which foods cause a problem for me.

mayoosh: the nutribar is just a vitamin in bar form with lots of added sugar. Dr. Furhman does not recommend having folic acid linked to cancer. You would want to get folate in the diet not folic acid Might as well just take a vitamin; minimal calories. Can you order online? Wheat germ is fine if you are not gluten…

i agree with what Mihani said above also be sure to make sure you are getting your nutrients, you need to have blended soups and salads with lots of greens.
