    Hi Guys,
    As usual I can’t find the post this is going to be related to but someone post a deal on what toxic things are in bread to keep it fresh, I can’t even remember who or where but that day I contacted UDI’s bread and asked if they had this “stuff” in it. My response came today and I’m happy to say it doesn’t. I’ll post the response…[Read more]

    Yum, I made yellow squash in evoo and then made millet in the same pan, that was also great I put in a small of the chicken I’d made yesterday too. Good food really is what its all about!

    Yes the whole food shakes have really been a needle mover for me. I was wondering if you’d read The Crazy Sexy Cancer Diet Book by Chris Carr? She talks about being vegetarian and by doing this keeping your pH a bit acidic and this being less hospitable for cancer cells to change in your body. She does loads of juicing and blending too.

    I find if your eating good foods you really can eat as much as you feel you need to on those days.

    • I am carrying my back of almonds with me today and pulling them out as needed. I have always found that as long as I pull out 1/2 ounce servings at a time I won’t eat the whole lot!

    In reply to: Amanda posted an update in the group Traveling with Food What do you do when you travel and you have a conference for a week? How do you find places to eat that are good? View

    Plan ahead bring lots of nuts (you can get small packs or Raw Nuts at Casey’s stores if you have them). Almost all places have a plain chicken breast, ask for just a plain breast often they will start of other menu options with a plan breast. Bring your shakes and magic bullet with you so you can make them, it does well with spinach and chia seeds.

    • Donna, do you go and by organic spinach and store it the hotel frog?

    I just re-watched Dr Hyman’s whole protein shake video that I got with the recipe that got in the cookbook. He does make it in a vitamix. I do see though he doesn’t run it as high as I am. I started adding chia and flax at the end of the shake making and not running it at high speed. I just love these shakes. I haven’t in the past done…[Read more]

    With adding the chia seeds I am not having any blood sugar spikes. From what I understand eating the whole foods you miss out on a large amount of the nutrition content, you simply can’t chew enough to get the most out of the foods.
    I really add the shake mix for the protein it provides. When I’m not making it for my husband I won’t add the…[Read more]

    I use JJ Virgin’s shake mixes. They do have some sugar from what I’ve read its keeping it down to less than than 6 grams per servings. http://www.jjvirginstore.com/virgin-diet-shake-chai Dr Hyman sells shakes too.
