  • This was from lajollamom blog: 2. Balances pH: Drink lemon water everyday and you’ll reduce your body’s overall acidity. Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods around. Yes, lemon has citric acid but it does not create acidity in the body once metabolized. this is also what my acupuncturist said. I often drink it then…
  • It is difficult. i am eating fairly healthy but I like crunchy peanut butter on crackers or on celery. If you eat a little spread on sticks of celery, that will at least make it a little healthier.
  • I am having trouble getting enough caicum in any diet I choose. What do you eat to get enough each week.
  • Holiday eating included "company eating" which included some meats and fish. Otherwise, Trader Joe's has some great Vegan frozen foods and lots to choose from.
  • I started eating Vegan at the end of March 2012 after watching Forks over Knives and having had to schedule a bilateral mastectomy for 1st stage of breast cancer. I was so lucky they caught it early. It is difficult eating in restaurants and no animal foods are allowed if you decide to choose vegan. This means that you eat…
  • I think you are smart going to an orthopedist. You need to find out what is causing it first. Don't be disappointed, you have years ahead to exercise and you will be doing things eventually. My back of knee pain turned out to be a Baker's Cyst which I ruptured. It caused pain all down my lower leg. The most helpful thing…
  • Shred some cabbage, tear up tender end pieces of kale only (curly ends), toss with a little chopped onion if you like that, soy sauce or Bragg's amino acids/olive oil/lemon juice mixed to tast. Really good and you can eat it for a week if you make it using a head of kale, a head of cabbage (or even a half).
  • I was reading about agave nectar being as bad as high fructose corn syrup. This is something we have not been told. It is supposeddly very bad for you and maybe that is why. You can google it. Highly concentrated and processd syrup.
  • that is really good. just do something.:flowerforyou:
  • Also, be sure to measure food and track it and if you are not on goal, add walking briskly. Hold your stomach in. I forget to do that all the time and it does help to firm your muscles up. Do not eat salt chips or snacks; stick to a few raw nuts or 1/2 banana or small piece of fruit for a snack; they process better in the…

  • I hope you made it and did not eat it. Those things are all "gateway" drugs' just an excuse for us to put something else into us.
  • I use a ripe avacado as a "butter" sometimes for toast in a sandwich; not the entire thing of course. I might spread it on a gluten free bread toasted with lettuce and fresh tomato this time of year. One cup of avocado has 5 grams of protein, 16 grams of fiber, 0 cholesterol and although 35 grams of total fat, only 5 grams…
  • I cannot see the foods you eat, but remember, animal foods all have cholesterol and behave differently in your body than plant foods. Sweet potato (no butter), lentils, green drinks, plums and fresh fruit (no sugar added), cantalope, quinoa, brown rice, tofu, walnut snack. The calories add up but the nutrients are huge and…
  • WOW, thank you for including the photos and congratulations. It is so worth it to be slim and not have all that weight to carry around. I am so happy for you and I will root for you.:flowerforyou:
  • Rinse your mouth out lightly afterwards to prevent enamel erosion.
