One serving of quinoa (100 gms) has 4 grams of protein as does the equivalent amount of couscous. Quino does have 3 gm of fiber compared to1 gm in the couscous. Not sure how much quinoa you're eating, but for most people, one would have to eat a lot of it to get 48% of recommended amount of protein.

Great info! Thanks for sharing.

I went gluten free about 6 months ago mostly to deal with acid reflux that went on for years. I did see a GI specialist to rule out H. Pylori as the cause and then was prescribed medication that was fairly expensive and became less effective the longer I used it. For the first few months I gave up bread, but I really…

white rice cooked 100 gm = 28 gm carb, 2.7 gm protein .4 gm fiber cal 130 quinoa cooked 100 gm = 21 gm carb 4.4 gm protein 2.8 gm fiber cal 120 If you like it, fine. But IMO not worth the money as it is easily 5-10 times the cost.

Alanon is not for the alcoholic; it's for family and friends of alcoholics. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is for the alcoholic.

I like that MFP gives macros (protein, fat and carb) as well as calories.

Have your doctor check your Vitamin B12 level. Low levels are common with vegan diet. (I do realize you are not totally vegan)

Great post!

Thanks for clarifying. Glad to hear that you are doing so well.:smile:

Not that I'm a fan of the 1200/day, but it seems that you weren't using MFP as it was designed to be used. MFP would have you add your exercise calories in addition to the 1200. Were you counting them into your daily allotment?

I think that he changes what's allowed in order to keep and attract more people to his website (= more $$$)

I agree; was just saying what I have seen the " Paleo" followers post on here. Based on the guidelines, I think most of us could now consider ourselves Paleo (if we wanted to)

Paleo can be low carb but allows for rice, sweet potatoes, and a variety of higher carb fruits and vegetables. The last time I looked on the daily apple website, I think I read that white potatoes are now ok. Many people following Paleo also adhere to the 80/20 guideline so you could include all sorts of grains and high…

They taste more of potatoes because they are potato chips. Doritoes are corn chips, and so won't taste like potatoes. Both are yummy though.

I'm curious. How does Isagenix remove the toxins that your liver, kidney, bowels, and respiratory system can't? What proof is there that these toxins are actually removed? (by proof I mean scientific studies, not rhetoric from Isagenix marketing)

Cleanse is still in the title ".Is a vegan cleanse right for you?" In the article: "I soon learned that it’s normal to feel “bad” during the first phase of a cleanse as toxins are flushed out of your body—and, oh boy, did I ever!" In the author's comments: Olympia1000 Here are some of the health benefits: It’s packed with…

Says the woman who admits to hitting pedestrians on purpose with her car. That might work in NYC but will get you arrested in Toronto. Assault > property damage

A few times I tapped some folks with my car just to let them know that I mean business. [/quote] Tapping/hitting people with your car is more crazy than hitting a vehicle that crowds you (not that I think that a great idea either though) I find it interesting that you feel you are justified in "tapping" pedestrians that…

I hope not. A person selling herbal medicines should know that Vitamin K makes your blood clot more easily; it's not a blood thinner.

I can't find anything to say that it does; perhaps you have a link (besides todays' blog) that say that it does? The WebMD site stated that there was basically no evidence to support any of the listed benefits of parsley. I did learn though that parsley interferes with the effectiveness of Coumadin, so if you are on that…

Even if I did go to that site for my medical conditions, if you go to the page that is called PARSLEY Uses & Effectiveness, it states: Insufficient Evidence for: Kidney stones. Urinary tract infections (UTIs). Cracked or chapped skin. Bruises. Tumors. Insect bites. Digestive problems. Menstrual problems. Liver disorders.…

Direct cut and paste from the blogger's reply in the comments section Here are some of the health benefits: It’s packed with fiber and protein and loaded with calcium. While fiber content does help “clean you out” (to put it nicely), the main detoxifying ingredient is parsley. It promotes urinary tract health, balance…

And the toxins the liver and kidneys can't handle are not going to be removed by parsley.

I have a hard time believing that she is an actual lawyer. I would expect her statements to be backed up with more real data/facts.

Actually, it's 35 % of Americans over the age of 20. Which changes the numbers a fair bit Still too many, but if you're going to quote statistics...

Of course, she doesn't mention what toxins are eliminated. She posted another blog on MFP a few months ago that was was debatable on facts regarding harmful effects of animal protein.
