My favorite is oven roasted. Toss in olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt. Cook on sheet in 350 degree oven about 15 min. depending on your oven. Yummo!

If you feel like you have to potty because of the jumping, you probably could benefit from kegal exercises.

Thanks for sharing. Truly inspiring!

will test on my 12 yr old

cool!

I researched extensively and chose blending over juicing. I didn't like shooting all the nutritional pulp out the back. I do think juicing has it's benefits in certain situations. I also chose the Blend Tec blender over the Vitamix. They are both an investment so do your homework before you buy one. Greensmoothiegirl.com…

You are having withdrawals. Refined, processed foods are highly addictive. It's very normal when cutting out the "bad" stuff. Stick with it though, you'll be a healthier, lighter person for it! You can do it, the symptoms will subside soon.

I did a raw green smoothie fast before I started my "diet" for about a month. What got me going was greensmoothiegirl.com, she has a book "The Green Smoothie Diet" and if you want to get radical, the book "Green for Life" by Victoria Boutenko which is geared to the raw food lifestyle.

You look great! Thanks for sharing your story. You will inspire others to stick with it!

I've gotten that to. "I can really tell in your face" is what I hear a lot of. I figure my cheek bones haven't been visible for a while, maybe they forgot I had them! LOL, I don't think if it is said to be insulting, I just smile.

It's kind of like bullying. If you make a joke of it deflates them.

Oh one more thing, when you get off of it for a while, the sweetness of fruits and vegetables will satisfy you. A pink grapefruit taste like an orange to me now. :-)

I'm a very all or nothing sugar eater. It causes me to have major inflammation, so I only have it on special occasions. My trick has been an herbal tea. The brand is Good Earth Original Spice. It has cinnamon and other natural spices, and helps for me. Sweet Leaf stevia also has several flavors of stevia you could try. It…

Thanks, sounds delicious!

It happens a lot to people who struggle with weight. I recommend researching information on how to improve your body image. Unfortunately distorted views of our bodies can lead to eating disorders. That 94lb girl may see her body the same as the 200lb girl. I understand because I used to struggle with that a lot. Weight…

I make my own, non fat almost no cal dressing. 2-3 T. Bragg's apple cider vinegar, spices, and stevia powder. Play around with spices til you find a good combo that works for you. Mine are all experimental and different every time. I just mix it in the bowl I'm using for salad and toss the salad in it. ACV is also good for…
