  • For me, the best approach to gluten free is to strip everything away, bandaid approach, and add foods back in. I think of it as a fresh start of the very best healthy foods i can eat to make my body it's very very healthiest. Going from zero to the very best there is. I try hard not to look at it from the perspective of…
  • I went with a half gallon canning jar, thinking I'd have two jars going at the same time so one would finish brewing every 5 days. I did just read about a continuous brew system that sounds interesting. Basically, a really large container with a spigot and you draw off a two weeks worth, re-add your sugar tea solution and…
  • I'm trying to do this! After so many years of shutting down my body's voice of requesting food, I'm now paying attention!
  • The number of hypothyroid diagnosis that are actual Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease, are close to 50% or more. So, if you are diagnosed with hypothyroidism, get checked through blood work for an autoimmune antibody. I had a thyroid nodule which upon biopsy showed I had Hashimoto's. Seriously, if you are hypothyroid, you…
  • Day 1 30 squats Day 2 35 squats. 35 push-ups :)
  • I'm in! Thanks for the challenge. Day 1 done. I did 30 modified push ups, too. Thinking of doing those although not sure how to increase those. Guess I'll just feel my way through those.
  • It's interesting how ingredients become "food". Like the whole potato chip, fast forward, and now made with beets or turnips or carrots. No reason why a corn tortilla chip can't go through the same metamorphosis. I think I'd add some fat into the recipe. Then try it with beets, turnips or carrots or maybe all three…
  • I'd love an invite! I've just seen the scale go Up this week and I'd love to know that I'm improving and not messing things up.
  • Your last before pic could have been me. So motivational and so, thank you for being ballsy!
  • Totally new to the whole Jillian scheme. I did google and do day 1 of the 30 day shred. Did find it mildly annoying to keep getting on the floor then up again as it entailed my grabbing my ipad and propping it precariously on the floor then on top of a desk so the other workouts are ones I'll check out. For my ipad's sake!…
  • This sounds delicious! Love the idea of subbing avocado for mayo! And, for nw since I'm following the Auto Immune Protocol, I'm going to try subbing the yogurt with coconut cream/milk and, sigh, still have to wait on the jalapeños but , even still, sounds like a great way to add veggies in. With a traditional salad turned…
  • As kids, our favorite meal was fried chicken hearts in butter. If you try the liver, be sure to remove the small yellow green sac. It's the gall bladder and is very bitter.
  • So, just googled it and did day 1! I couldn't find a complete set of hand weights so grabbed some cans. Who knew garbanzos and artichoke hearts could weigh so differently. Thanks for posting about your success with it. Perfect motivator!
