Difference between "extract" and "juice."
Hi all! I'm currently drinking Skinny Elixir, which is made up of various "extracts" - acai, blueberry, goji berry. It's VERY clear from drinking this stuff that it has none of the sugar of fruit juice! And while the company lists the nutritional information for everything else they make, they list none for this; it almost…

In honor of the new month, and because I can't resist a good rhyme, I hereby dub the next 4 weeks Sober October, and invite anyone else who cares to, to join in with me in refusing to drink your calories, or to keep binging due to lowered inhibitions.

Just had my dietician appointment... seriously?
"You have to start eating breakfast. That is non-negotiable for me." "It is so important that you start working grains into your diet. Try bread and pasta.

Nervous about seeing a dietician
So, my office is bringing in a dietician in a couple of weeks, which is fantastic. She'll do a baseline body composition, and talk with us about goal setting and nutrition plans. This is great, and one of the reasons I love my office - they take good care of us. But I don't know if I can make myself sign up. I know that…

Seriously weird food cravings
Does anyone else get very strange cravings, that you can't justify in any way whatever? I don't get many, especially not since going primal, but all I've been able to think about today has been MUSTARD. It's so strange, there's nothing even in mustard. Mustard seed, vinegar, maybe a little wine. But I can actually taste…
