    • Hi Shey,
      I am in Australia and already I have found our countries speak different languages when it comes to food. Still this isn’t a problem as where there is the will there is always a way.

    • Where in Texas? We just moved from Houston to Tucson.
      I miss Central Market. :.). . .

    • Hi Shey,
      Thank you for your welcome. I think it great that you can get others in your significant circle to do the diet plan with you. What great support and encouragement. You could go shopping together and be a real team. I am on my own with this problem. Thankfully my husband doesn’t have a problem. So it’s onwards and ever upwards I guess.…[Read more]

    • On advanced plan you can have up to 1/2 cup raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or strawberries. But I have to tell you that if I have more than one or two my blood sugar really spikes. Especially if I don’t have some protein with the fruit. My regular breakfast is one egg microwaved at 50% with a little butter in it, some sort of protein…[Read more]

    • You have to modify you basic food list with the additional food restrictions on the advanced list ie only fruit is 1/2 duo berries no other fruit for example, you also need to avoid all grains and starch vegetables until your metabolism resets 6 -12 weeks from now. Make sure you buy nuts the are the handiest snack I know. But remember when you…[Read more]

    Could anyone tell me read sat if possible how to cook Bok Choy in a stir fry

    • Hi Marshella – When I cook Bok Choy in stir fry, I chop it up in to narrow stips (about an inch) then add it to the hot oil first before the other vegetables. I cook it alone a couple minutes before adding the other veggies and cooked meat. Usually turns out well. Good luck!

    • You can also buy baby or toy bok choy and simply slice it in half lengthwise. It’s a quick addition to stir frys and does not need much cooking time.

      Otherwise I do the same as Heather. You can slice it in about 1/2 inch strips, I heat a wok or pan, add some coco oil, toss it for a few minutes, add a clove of monced garlic and a small amount of…[Read more]
