In reply to: Rusty811 posted an update Ok, I am going away for 4 days to visit my daughter and her family. This is going to be a real test. Packed up all the Ultrashake ingredients in 4 packs. She will have veggies, chicken […] ViewRusty, have fun! When I have traveled I have eaten more than I would at home but I have done my best to only eat the foods that I allow myself and as Vimala says, you are in this for life so if you go off plan on a vacation don’t beat yourself up about it, just get back to basics when you return home.

In reply to: Rusty811 posted an update Lisathnos….I love, love my Vitamix! Ultrashakes are so much better. I can’t wait to do a few more things with it. Thanks for mentioning it. Rusty ViewThat is so wonderful that you are loving it! I sure love ours too. I usually just make my protein shakes. My 20-something daughter is much more creative with it than I am. Margaret, I love your ideas. They are fantastic machines. Lisa

In reply to: Rich posted an update in the group 6 Weeks Program Group Week #2 is going ok. Did a lot of reading and research and purchased all my basic supplements this week: D3, magnesium, new multi, omega, and probiotic. […] ViewYes, Rich, please space your new supplements with a few days in between starting another one. I began all at once and ended up feeling so sick. Give your body time to adjust to one before you add another and I believe you will have a better result. All the best, Lisa

In reply to: Rusty811 posted an update Has anyone found a gum or mint to freshen one’s breath that is allowable? With all these garlic & onions….questions keep popping into my head. Thanks, Rusty ViewNo, Rusty, I gave up gum. I used to chew sugar free gum but when I learned about how harmful artificial sweeteners are I decided to forego it. I think my breath must be tons better now that I do not drink coffee any longer. At least I tell myself that! So far no one has moved away from me in conversation. Perhaps try chewing on a mint leaf? LOL! Lisa

I want to make shakes but do not know which Protein powder is […] ViewThe Jarrow one also does not have enough protein for me. I like a protein powder with a lot of protein and that is difficult to find in these vegetable ones. Lisa

I want to make shakes but do not know which Protein powder is […] ViewVery true, Vimala. I have also have Jarrow Formulas Brown Rice Protein. I don’t believe it has any sugars but it also has zero taste. I prefer the RAW one for taste but I am finishing off the Jarrow one to get rid of it. I must admit I have been adding a small amount of raw honey to it along with the fruit to make it more palatable, but I am…[Read more]

Having been without sugar substitutes for almost a year, even a little is too much for me. I’ve been getting my sweet taste from the fruit, not the protein powder in the shake. I wish I lived closer so I could buy the Jarrow off you!

I don’t know why he has some that do not seem to be for Blood Sugar Solution followers but there are protein powders available out there that more nearly fit the lifestyle he espouses.
-
Interesting point, Lisa. If that is indeed the case, all the non-BSS protein powders should be labelled so. If there is one place we BSS followers should not have to read labels, Dr. Hyman’s store should be it! I mean, he says in the book that he has sought out the best products for us to use. At the very least, I expect the products to meet…[Read more]

What about garlic? Can I cut a […] ViewI buy garlic that is frozen into little clove size portions. It is a time saver and no longer do I begin to use garlic only to find that it has gone bad. No more waste! Lisa

Thanks I will have to look for it in the frozen food section. The UPS man brought my Vitamix today. I washed it, set it up and read the instructions. It came with a good sized cookbook…another cookbook to read. I am going to make my Ultrashake tomorrow and then look into making almond butter. I will let you know what happens. Rusty

In other words, our genes can be […] ViewI’ve had a lot of Aha moments. I never realized eating sweetened foods, even when sweetened with natural sweeteners such as honey and cane sugar and stevia could cause cravings for more sweet things. I never knew certain foods could cause inflammation. I now know dairy and gluten can do that. I also did not know coffee could cause…[Read more]

My physician was surprised, I was […] ViewI’m very happy for you. I too want to continue to eat this way for the rest of my life. I have lost weight and kept it off for a year, a record for me.

Is there […] ViewI could not wait to get started and as soon as I began reading the book back in April ’12 I began the 6 weeks without really doing the two week prep. I had been eating quite well prior to reading the book and the Blood Sugar Solution book gave me the final information I needed to begin. I did take the full two weeks to quit having coffee and…[Read more]

In reply to: BSS Shelley posted an update in the group Preparation Group First visit to BSS site, community, and will start Preparation on Monday. Does it really cost almost $300/month for supplements while on the program? […] ViewYes, be SURE to begin your new supplements one at a time and allow a few days in between starting new ones. I started many all at once and ended up feeling so sick. In the midst of detoxing from taking bad things out of my diet I added supplements and I felt like I was run over by a truck for a couple of days. It was really stupid of me to not…[Read more]
