Try Whole Foods recipe for chicken-fried tofu. It's not healthy but definitely delish! You can find it on Pinterest :)

Lentil tacos are my fave. I also do a lot of Mexican dishes with beans.

I'm a registered nurse and you certainly should see a primary care doctor to rule out any physical causes but before you load yourself up with drugs to artificially alter your brain chemistry , I recommend seeing an alternative health specialist, such as an acupuncturist or energy worker (reiki). I've tried both and have…

^^^^^^THIS. EXACTLY.

That's exactly what happened to me! I was a C cup when I had my breast reduction, but a DD when I was at my smallest weight. I'm now (supposedly- I'm still swollen) a B cup after the doc removed almost 3 lbs of flesh.

The doctor is correct- BMI is an inaccurate measurement. Take into account bodybuilders, for instance. They carry a lot of extra weight in muscle tissue. You may look fat to yourself BECAUSE of the boobs- your breasts probably obscure much of your midriff making you look more short-waisted. If your breasts are causing any…

I'm making it now. Waiting for hubby to get home with the tomatoes and pepper but the dressing is delicious! It reminds me of cowboy caviar, one of my faves :smile:

If you eat that stuff, you will feel physically awful afterward. I think "little cheats" are okay and fear of fast food is your friend. Use them wisely.

I use it mostly as an all-over moisturizer and a little in my hair. I keep meaning to use it for cooking/smoothies, etc but I forget since I keep it in the bathroom. Out of sight, out of mind. It has a lot of great health properties too. HIV + folk can use it to increase their immunity. I hear it is good for IBS, wounds,…

I think it comes down to insecurity for most, but bad boys can also be challenging and stimulating (think adrenaline) and I think most girls fall for the idea that they are going to change someone for the better (almost always a lost cause). Bad boys are bad because of some deep buried personal pain, or so the thought…

If you are trying to get 40% protein, you could potentially be harming yourself. An active body needs only 10-20% protein. What your body doesn't utilize results in potentially harmful spillover, which is why people on Atkins-type diets often end up with painful gallbladder and kidney issues. I would reconsider that goal…

If you are having strong sugar cravings, it could be that you have an overgrowth of yeast in your gut. It's a very common but little known problem characterized by bloating/gas, fatigue, and sugar cravings. There is an over-the-counter aid called AZO Yeast that is taken orally for women's yeast infections. It's homeopathic…

Ketones, for example. Diabetics can excrete ketones through their sweat and urine, giving them a bit of a fruity odor. People on high protein diets can also excrete urea through their perspiration- if someone has foul body odor despite good hygiene practices, urea is a likely culprit. "Normal" people excrete excess…

Sweating is the body's detox. If ACV increases sweating, then...(follow the line of deduction). Also ACV helps to alkalize the body and the body maintains health better in an alkaline environment. "Pooping" and "peeing" alone does not keep the body clean/detoxed.

I only have 2 kids myself, but were I able to be a SAHM, I would love to have more! I've always wanted to adopt but circumstances (namely husband) have not made that possible. I kind of feel sorry for my kids not having more family. Neither hubby or I have a close-knit family. I had that growing up, but it all unraveled…

My throat and jaw often hurt when I'm hungry and/or dehydrated. Is that what you mean?

Me neither. I work out at 0530 THEN go home and shower to get ready for work.. NO way am I putting on makeup twice. Not there to p/u guys anyway :noway:

Unisex loos??? WTH! :noway:

A-holes abound. You get better at ignoring them with age, trust me. Just try not to let it turn you into the same. Ugly behavior sometimes has a way of breeding more ugliness despite our best intentions.

You look amazing! A M A Z I N G

Kissing and eating/drinking something are clearly two different animals.

The junk phood industry- turning us all into cannibals without our knowledge...:explode:

I was eating oysters once and bit into a pearl. I found a ladybug in my salad at another place and a beetle in my food at a Mediterranean buffet.

Try tempeh- it's a cultured vegetarian item made from different things like soy beans, flax, multigrain, etc. It's high in protein, calcium, and iron. It can be prepared different ways but steaming it for about 15 minutes is a good idea prior to using it in any recipes as it has a bit of a bitter taste according to some…

I can't imagine getting thru something like that without prayer. I don't know if you're a praying woman, but it helps to calm me when I need it. If not that, then focus on your breathing- big, deep, calm breaths. Give your hands something to do when you're not doing something essential like driving. Having an outlet for…

lol nope. Although there's a rumor that I've got a native American somewhere far back in my ancestry, no one has ever been able to trace it. I'm German-Irish on both sides of the family, I'm afraid :)

Yay! I've got a Cherokee aunt that looks just like you! ;)

Native American?

Make a tea with Bragg's apple cider vinegar (regular ACV will work too)- just 5-15 ml (1 to 3 tsp) in a mug of hot water. You can add a little honey (or other sweetener) and cinnamon to make it palatable. OR you can get yourself some oil of oregano at your local healthfood/alternative therapy store and mix 2-4 drops with a…

I think that is totally AWESOME and only wish I had had the fortitude to do it that way. One of the most horrible things about our culture today is family instability and that is one way to combat that. Children are much more likely to be sexually promiscuous, engage in drug-seeking behavior, commit suicide, drop out of…
