I've just got the book.. love it so far, and have already found a 20% improvement in joint pain with what I've done in just the prep work of stopping foods prior to jumping into the 21 day elimination part of the book. I'd love to hear all of your experiences, good or bad.

I totally agree with you that using "real" milk would be better, however that is where the calories are packed and I was trying to cut that down. Also in the quest to find the closest substitution.. the Coffee-mate creamer hit best. My system personally cannot handle any of the sugar-free or skinny drinks options (even in…

"Healthier" YES it IS - but no I didn't say it was "Healthy". Less calories is healthier on your body, less cost is healthier on your wallet. The drink however does have it's pros to your system as well as cons, it really all boils down to each individual persons health issues. For example (and I am speaking from MY…

WoopWoop Yeaaaah!!:happy: I'm so glad you tried it and got those results too! I knew the powers had shifted when I was able to drive by a Starbucks and not feel the urge to get my mocha fix - because I'd already had it at home with zippo the cost and calories.

Okay my vote on the Malt flavor is in.. and it's lacking. The Rich Chocolate flavor is much better. :wink:

I agree with you... nowhere did I mention the drink as being healthy, and I can't imagine anyone thinking the Starbucks version really is either... however here are those stats you requested right from the Coffee-mate website. It basically consists of not a lot of anything. Cheers!:drinker: Nutrition Facts Serving Size 1…

I have to be very careful of anything that claims to be "sugar-free".. as whatever they use for sugar substitution can make me sick very very quickly. I'm much better off sticking with raw sugar (turbinado).

Rich Chocolate is the one I experimented with, but I have since picked up Malt to try.:smile:

Oops.. sucker tried to double post. :wink:

WHIP CREAM LOVERS LISTEN UP!!! :love: I'm just catching back up with this thread, and I love the comments/more great ideas you've all contributed! The "recipe" I posted is of course the bare bones minimum for the lowest calorie indulgence.. however to creamy it up or make it more mocha, just increase the Coffee-mate…

I love Okra any way you fix it, and this recipe from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking cookbook is EXCELLENT. It's Quick, Easy, and you can definitely cut the oil and make it even healthier. I personally use frozen okra, because fresh cannot always be found. http://www.seasaltwithfood.com/2009/04/dry-okra.html

Mary Ann.. Yowza, I see what you mean. Starbucks Grande Chai Latte is 42g of sugar (which estimates an equivalent 10 tsp of sugar). :noway:

Dani - God Bless ya girl! Keep the focus! You definitely got a pom-pom shake from me for you. Forgive me if you or someone else has already mentioned it.. but you can have some factors controlling this that need identified and are fighting against you. The thyroid of course, is a little stinker for dragging you through…
