Thank you everyone, for your replies. My sons can keep this 7 carb stuff they have here, I'm going shopping!

I usually order chicken fajitas with no tortillas. Yum!

What is the serving size? Sounds crazy but those bars and shakes might be more than one serving per bar/shake.

Well thank you, this is good to know. I started Atkins induction two weeks ago, and was doing just fine having 8oz of raw milk every day. Then I decided to try some whole milk (though not raw) yogurt. It pulled me right out of ketosis :-( I sometimes forget that there are things that are allowed to be left off labels…

In some states in the U.S. it is also illegal to sell raw milk for "human" consumption. Dairy farmers get around this by bottling it and selling it for "pet" consumption. You can go to try http://www.westonaprice.org/local-chapters/find-a-local-chapter#aus to find a yahoo group that you can join. Once there, I'm sure you…

Lately I've been enjoying chopped bacon with grape tomatoes and romaine all mixed together with mayo... a BLT without the bread!

^ This. Anything that is not processed, including full fat dairy, home made breads, real butter, fresh eggs, free range chicken, grass fed beef, lots of fruits and veggies. No cereal. The book "Nourishing Traditions" defines it for me. My great grandmother lived to 94 eating this way. For me though, the challenge is to eat…

No need to get snarky about it. I asked to be educated and you responded by basically saying "here's the info you wanted, you moron." Jeez. Yes, documentaries should be taken as part of the whole picture. Same as we should also be skeptical about the word of the FDA. (Olestra anyone?) It's called being an educated…

I'd love to see some links to read through confirming this. The movie "Sweet Misery" convinced me to stop allowing aspartame in my house.

Pasta is processed. But if you can't give it up (as I), then brown rice pasta is the way to go. It digests more easily than any other kind. If you decide to try it though, be sure to rinse it until it's totally cold, or it gets mushy. Can't get myself to make bread. I buy sprouted grain breads, which again, are easier to…

This has been a problem for me too. I drink a lot of veggie/fruit smoothies, and wanted the protein to balance out potential sugar spikes. Tried whey, and hemp, but they were yucky. And frankly, just didn't feel right. So I add nut butters now. Or raw eggs. I haven't been able to bring myself to add my homemade whey…

Hi, I'm Coleen. New here. A friend introduced me to "Nourishing Traditions" several years ago and it just made sense when I read it. It changed my family's life. Info about it (and how we eat) from Amazon: "Nourishing Traditions will tell you: 1. Why your body needs old fashioned animal fats 2. Why butter is a health food…

Some people find it easier to restrict themselves to hard and fast rules that others make for them, ie. water is water, tea is tea. Whatever. It's all hydrating, which is, actually, the point. If I'm drinking water, I usually get in two or three cups, since that is what my body tells me it needs. However, if I'm drinking…

I'm 5'4" and at 47yo I'd be thrilled to get down to 160. That would get me back into the misses department for shopping. At my age, anything much lower than that would probably have people telling me that I've lost too much weight and I look sick (which is what happened to an aunt of mine). Since I will have saggy skin, it…

I take my water in the form of unsweetened iced tea that I make myself. Cherry Berry flavored. Yum!

I'm out here reading this. Thanks for the pat on the back :smile:

I strongly agree with JadeRabbit08, go see a doctor. And right away. The symptoms above (including your fear) are clear indications that something is not right. Perhaps it's as simple as a vitamin deficiency, but why take a chance that it could be more serious?

After reading the book "Could it be B12?" I decided they'd really help with my energy. I now have both my retired parents taking them, as well as my sister and my husband. They've made a huge difference for me in the two months since I started. I take these:…

Hi, I'm Coleen in CT. I joined the YMCA few weeks ago and have been exercising three times a week. A friend of mine pointed me here, and I figured I'd take the next step and start to pay attention to what I'm eating. I'm not in a giant rush to lose weight, I just want to feel good inside my body again. I want to be able to…

Wow, I can't believe I found this on my second day here. :love: My family eats a Nourishing Traditions lifestyle, but I manage to sneak enough crap into my own diet to do a lot of damage. Trying to get back to practicing what I preach again, and skipping the drive thru when I'm without my kids. We drink raw milk, eat farm…
