Hi Vaunej, The PGX can slow the absorbtion of supplements and medications. If you are taking prescription drugs that could be a problem. I do not think they will ‘escort’ the supplements out of your body, unused. It might be helpful for you to e-mail the company and ask them. They are good about answering questions like that. I assume you are…[Read more]

Hi Terri, What were you trying to achieve giving your daughter PGX? Does she have blood sugar problems or eating in the evening problems? It would not hurt her but might effect elimination, as Nicole mentioned. These things are difficult to sort out, so please make sure she is eating a healthy diet otherwise.
Blessings, Margaret

Hi Rich, i am sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved cat. You have the satisfaction of knowing you provided a loving home.
Please do post the chai spices recipe in the recipe group.
Blessings, margaret

Glad you can use the info. I do wish more people would share their local favorites. Some of the good organic style restaurants do not get much press. Anything in your area that you know of?

Hi Beth, Have you seen the pdf under downloads that talks about portions sizes and different carbs. Even on the basic plan popped corn is allowed in a very small serving.
I hope all is well with you, Margaret

Hi Anna, artichokes are fine on advanced plan. Remember that carbs and sugars are different. So if you are eating slow or unlimited veggie carbs you will be ok on this plan.
There is no ‘correct’ amount of fat. It is more common sense, using olive oil, coconut oil or nuts for most of your fats.
I assume you are referring to the ‘snacks and…[Read more]

Welcome, Shelley, I like the sound of getting new pots. You will be doing a lot of cooking so you might as well have good tools. It sounds like you are off to a great start. It sure is nice to have someone that is on a program so you can discuss things.
Keep us posted, Margaret

Great, cooking can be its own reward: )

Hi Shupac, perhaps resting rather than cooking would be a good thing when you are feeling poorly. I know I sound like your mother, but it is better to rest. Any luck talking to your doctor?
Blessings, Margaret

Hi Dawna, It might be healthier for you to change the way you eat. Addressing the symptom rather than the underlying problem of diabetes might be disappointing.
If you do not want to use almond milk then you can use coconut milk. It is good to get info from the internet, but be cautious about thinking one article is the final word. Did your doctor…[Read more]

Very nice, Nicole:) those smaller sizes are very motivating. Margaret

Our bodies can heal themselves and balance hormones. Healthy eating and exercise plus lowering stress levels are all helpful. Have you read the BSS book? We are not doctors on this site, just people that like to follow Dr Hyman’s life style plans.
Blessings, Margaret

Hi Nicole, WOW, i would have trouble staying to one bite of a blooming onion: )
I do agree, it is nice to have someone else cook, every now and again. Margaret

I to want to applaud you for looking after yourself, during a very difficult time of your life. Healthy eating can counteract the stress you are going through. Many blessings to you, may your path ease up, Margaret

Hi Shupac, I grate daikon and add it to grated cabbage, carrots etc for a salad.I add it to green salads I also add it to soups and grate it into the veggie pancakes. It is a very healthy veggie. Check out the watermelon radishes, at the farmers mkt later in the year.

Welcome Bettye, You have come to the right place for helpful ideas and encouragement. How long have you been following the BSS plan?
Blessings, Margaret

Hi, For me the most important thing is to plan ahead, always have food ready to cook or eat at home. Shop ahead. The worst thing is if you do not know what to eat and you have to go buy something. It is very difficult to not stray off plan at times like those.
i usually prep veggies as soon as I get back from the farmers market. I cut celery,…[Read more]

Enjoy yourself!
