    Since I have a grain problem, not just wheat, I bought George Stella's (Food Network) Stella Style 2nd cook book (not the one with the pizza on it, but the newly published one) and he has muffins and quick breads...using Almond Flour and nothing else. This is great for me since I have a soy intolerance too. For those of you not familiar...you old timer celiacs...

    I'm going for a check up on May 4th. I will have a liver panel done. Thanks for the info. You're the first person who said it caused liver damage.

    ARCHIVED Hoodia

    Mayflowers posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Has anyone tried Hoodia? I found a brand that has Hoodia and glucomannan in it and it's really cut my appetite with no side effects so far. I usually will get an upset stomach, or headaches or joint pain or something from those over the counter diet pills. My weight was at a stall and now I'm losing again. I think I finally found a diet pill that helps...

    Autumn. I read what you were talking about in Wikipedia. It does mention that they are mildly toxic containing a tiny amount of cyanide that cooking destroys, and it's not recommeded to eat them raw. So? For that matter Kidney beans are also poisonous and must be cooked, not to mention, rhubarb, green parts of potatoes that killed hundreds of families in...

    Sorry. I was in a bad place when I posted that. I tend to be outspoken at times. "That's a problem and we're working on it." I'll be publishing an article as soon as I get it together and maybe more people will understand the way elderberry works.

    Am I talking to a freakin' wall? I just told you ladies about increasing their vitamin A & especially D (Cod Liver oil) and give your kids elderberry jelly on toast regularly and they will not get the flu or a cold. sheesh. How can you stand to see your kids sick? My oldest son was coming down with a cold last Friday because he won't make...

    Hi Pemmy. welcome. Are you a vegetarian? I see no meat or fish in your menu. Mostly grains. From experience, the more grains I eat the less weight I lose. I seem to be eating fish and I had turkey once this week and vegetables with salad and cheese, eggs. I'm having a chocolate problem .... Liz, I had chocolate again last night. This morning I...

    Wow. I'm switching to gas heat. I have oil and every time the guy comes it's $600. He came in the beginning of the winter but we had warm weather till the middle of January here in Jersey so it was unusual. I would have spent $1200 on fuel oil for one winter. I keep the heat on 69 too unless my son sneaks it up a degree, 64-65 during the day for the cat...

    Hi Ladies, Liz - Girl, you'd better watch those gluten free cakes and goodies. They are too easily absorbed for us and go straight to fat. You're gonna gain back those 2 pounds! I don't even eat them anymore. Most of them are rice anyway and rice flares up my arthritis. Deb - I hope you're on antibiotics for the abscess. People die from tooth...

    Hi Ladies, I lost that pound thank goodness. I'm back at where I was two weeks ago...again. ! I'm lowering my carbs more, meaning no bread or bread like objects and no white refined sugar. I only eat royal jelly at 6 carbs a tsp so I count it. I'm eating pescatarian low carb. yuch. I hate fish. I like seafood but not fish. B - cheese...

    That link doesn't work here is what someone said. It say's it all for me. I picked up this book on eBay just to see what KT could possibly come up with that hasn't already been touted by every diet plan guru out there. And -- no surprise -- what is proposed in this book is completely ridiculous if only in terms of affordability and availability. The "key...

    rach, number (5) You have a sugar addiction that's getting worse. Same with alcohol, the more you drink, the more you want. The answer is simple...The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet by Dr.'s Rachel and Richard Heller Open Original Shared Link OR, just go cold turkey and stop eating sugar. Period. The cravings will go away in a week or so and you'll...

    Deb - No, sorry, I don't have a ham chowder recipe. I hate ham. Too salty. I love to cook vegetarian. Your son is as tall as mine but mine is only 170. They call him "Tree" in high school. His brother is "Sapling". My lord! I'd move. I wouldn't stay around drug dealers and corrupt cops. I'm not that brave. Hi Momagn5. Welcome. What's your...

    Thanks Shirley. I'm bummed over that pound. My weight loss is so freakin' slow...I want to be 10 pounds thinner by the summer. I'll take 5 that's a pound a month I think some of the problem is water. I'm counting my styrofoam cups today and I don't feel so hungry. I'm on my third 14 oz cup so that's almost 42 ounces. I need 5 to make 64 ounces. slosh...

    Mornin' Ladies, I'm at work as usual... Next year when my son graduates high school, I'm retiring... I weighed in and I'm a pound up.. Ca-rap. When you're peri meno, anything can be the cause, hormones, water...I'm thinking water... 1. Didn't drink my 6-8 glasses this week and I haven't exercised as much because of studying. At my age you have...

    ARCHIVED Frustrated

    Mayflowers replied to LisaJ's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I've lost about 11 pounds and it's been a tooth and nail fight. I have to go low carb to be able to lose and increase exercise. I have 25 more to go. This might take awhile. The weight gain could be a temporary state as your body heals. If you feel like waiting to see. I read this in the Schwarzbein Principle. Dr. Schwarzbein said as the body heals...

    Autumn - If you took what you ate today and put it in a Vitamix, it would be pretty tasty! Breakfast- Nectarines, celery, and almonds, water Lunch- carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower and almonds, spearmint leaves with honey See? Sounds like 2 pretty good smoothies. Vitamix makes whole juices but the fiber makes one.....go. B - HB eggs L-...

    HA! HA! HA! Funny Shirley . AB huh? You can have more things than me. I'm the most delecate of the blood types and have to be the most careful of my diet. BUT, the good news is that "A" blood types, rarely if ever get the flu. We're naturally immune to it. Most flu strains are "B". I can say in my 50 years I've never gotten it. (I'm knocking on wood...

    Autumn - I'll pay attention to corn and see. I tried black cohosh. I can't tolerate it. After a week on it I got my 2 day migraine which is the indicator of intolerance to a supplement or drink (which include certain brands of coffee, wine, and teas). sigh. I thought maybe I could take it. I was dissapointed. I'm so afraid to try anything because of getting...

    Anyone using Green Drinks for weight loss? They're also good for over acidity. According to Tony Robbins that's the reason why we can't lose weight and why we get sick. Our bodies are not alakline enough. I drink Barlean's Greens. Yes, it's gluten free. I buy it at Wegman's grocery store. They have an incredible health food section...like a store in...

    I could never lose with slim fast. It did nothing for my appetite...why? It's loaded with sugar. Even the so called low sugar one didn't take my appetite away. I make my own shake, with almond milk and brewer's yeast (my brand is made on beets not from a brewery). I can't find nutritional yeast or I'd use that too. The only brand my stores carry is...

    Cathy - Sounds like you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. ?? I get D too if I eat a lot of refined carbs. I always used bran to control the symptoms. Now I'm using oat bran. After I gave up wheat, I started getting my symptoms back due to lack of fiber. Now I'm using the oat bran and I take fiber choice fiber supplements. I hope that works. Good luck Kat...

    I'm psychic Kat. and a mental medium. You need to get off the cancer sticks first. You're so right. You'll feel so much better, and when you feel the tightness, just go for a jog, or if you can't because of the weather, use Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds series, or any work out tape that makes you breathe hard. It will make it so much easier, then...

    Deb, My condolences on your grandmother. I was wondering about some of the cereals. Some people on this forum won't eat anything that's made in the same factory as wheat for fear of cross contamination. Some of the boxes say "May contain traces of wheat" on them. Like I always say, if it doesn't bother you then go for it! B - Low carb...

    I was wondering what the heck you were talking about..but I just let it go... Deb - you eat Trix? The cereal as in "Silly rabbit....?? Some people here freak about eating any cereal because of cross contamination... just to let you know. I'm looking forward to my weigh in on Sunday. I hope I lost!! Feeling bloated today a little.
