We would love to have you over there, Margaret. You can keep a relatively low profile on FB, and just use it for the Blood Sugar solution group. The advantage is that it’s a smaller group. I find this site unwieldy – but it sounds lile you are taking to it quite well. If you want to stay pretty anonymous, you could post a picture of a flower or…[Read more]

How sad, Sarah. It sounds like you have to make a very tough choice to save your life. Yes, it has to be much harder in that situation. I can suggest that you designate a cabinet and a section of the refrigerator and stock them with plenty of good food that will support your healing. Maybe commit to one week at a time. Remember you’ll probably…[Read more]

We had plenty of miracles in the betatest for this book. My suggestion would be to read it, do the PREP (very important), and do the 6-weeks. You will probably have to get rid of foods you are eating now, and if you are like me, you’ll be kicking and screaming. But do it. I felt so much better from the first week, and found I really didn’t miss…[Read more]

I always keep an ounce of nuts in my purse. Remember you’re detoxing. Try not to get in a pinch – especially in the first 6 weeks. You want to get all the benefits of the work you are doing.

Good luck, Manjula.

Welcome, Wanda. Good luck.

That sounds great. I’ll try it on a Sunday when I can have the rest during the week. The other thing might be to make a frittata out of it – cook the bottom on low-med heat, and when the bottom is done, put it in the broiler to finish the top. (You don’t have to turn it. )

Just a few more days. . . .Get that stuff out of your system and pretty soon, the cravings will disappear. Keep reading labels and drink water to wash the toxins out. Good luck!!

Good luck, Jane. Also, mashed avocado sometimes does the trick. Mustard is an interesting substitute too. ’Depends on the accompaniments.

It will end! One thing is that you are detoxing now – so the toxins are getting released into your bloodstream, trying to get out. Make sure you drink plenty of water, maybe skin brushing and the Ultrabath, and the breathing exercises. When there’s not such a high concentration of toxins, the cloud will lift and you will regain your energy and…[Read more]

Good luck, John. Try this site. http://www.functionalmedicine.org/practitioner_search.aspx?id=117

I would love to have good advice to offer you. My rosemary came in a pot I bought last fall, and it was still hangin in, so I decided to put it in with the flowers I just planted. Incidentally, I also got some thyme that I planted there. We’ll see if the soil is right for either or both.

They will get about 4 hours of sun where I have them.…[Read more]

Congratulations, Georgette! Don’t you feel like the energy is even better than the weight loss? I have been doing the program since October (on the betatest). But I now feel like I have a pretty good dialog going with my body so I can give it what it needs (and easily bypass what is not going to make me feel better).

There’s a ”Double Matcha” tea by Republic of Tea that’s pretty hearty for a green. Good luck.

I happened to have the poached eggs over spinach (recipe in the book) this morning. Yum!! I serve it with sliced avocado and salsa. I think the book calls for thyme, but I used fresh rosemary out of my garden.

PS – Maybe try a little brown mustard with something you’d want to put mayo on? It works for me. Or even a salad of canned salmon, onion, celery, and some mashed avocado instead of mayo. (You have to eat it shortly after you make it or the avocado will get ugly.)

Welcome to T minus one. You may be careful of the dried fruit. It will probably make you want the sugar in the graham crackers. When you get to ”T” and aren’t eating any sugar, few carbs, and very little fruit, your sugar cravings should go away. For me, it was immediate. For others, it took a few weeks. Good luck!!!!

I believe goat cheese is considered dairy, but it’s certainly not as bad as cow-cheese (that sounds funny). Rice milk and vegan mayo – I would check the ingredients to make sure there’s no sugar in the milk – or if the vegan mayo is too “processed.” It probably depends on the brand. Also, check to see if the milk is made with brown rice or…[Read more]

Sorry – Patti!!!

You get hooked when you realize your aging process doesn’t need to be miserable. I feel better now than I did 30 years ago – and I’m a heck of a lot smarter.
