• Too much of any protein will place added burden on the kidneys. Though, since you're working out then your body will definitely need the added nutrients from exercise. I personally believe in "slow and steady wins the race", instead of consuming a f…

• Well, I wasn’t concerned about my breath smelling, I was more concerned about the things I’ve heard about the smell escaping from your pores when you sweat.

• See, I actually disagree, I’ve found that fruits and vegetables tend to be more expensive than the oats and seeds and grains I find at places like whole foods. Sure you pay less per lb of fruit, but the bulk food seems to be more calorically dense.

• I’ve always found that cubed sweet potatoes make a good raw snack, they’re not incredibly high in calories but they’re something you can munch on while on the move or driving some where. Just don’t eat too many at first because they may give you ind…

• I’m also trying to gain weight, it sure can be tough when eating healthy foods and having a good metabolism (blast!). But just keep eating. I’ve found it’s best to have as big of a breakfast as possible. I try to eat around 800 or 900 calories in th…

• Stainless steel (or at least the good grades of it) do not leak into the water. I found this link today http://www.sunrisewd.com/products/new_wavesteel…, I’ll probably do a little more research on it when i get the time.

• Well don’t just take my word for it. This was something I was actually just looking into earlier today, and I haven’t had a chance to look into all the facts yet. I do know that I don’t like the high amount of 1 star reviews on amazon http://www.ama…

• I read a few complaints on amazon.com that the Klean Kanteens use a cheap metal, and it’s not completely stainless. Aren’t there any plastic bottles I don’t have to worry about? :(

• spirit: While I don’t know any specifics, I’m almost positive that stainless steel will not oxidize. I’m doing research on starting a small winery and I know that many people use stainless steel containers. If people are willing to use stainless for…

• to add to what graham just said, amazon.com has great prices on the Kitchenaid. I can get the 12 cup for $130 with free shipping. I originally didn’t think I would want or need the 12 cup, but after looking at all the prices it seems like a great de…

• The only thing I’m not sure about with the Kitchenaid 12 cup one is whether I really need all that much, or if I could get away with the 9 or even 7 cup one, though I really do like the idea of the 4 cup bowl it comes with (I think it comes with the…

• I’m trying to stay cheap as well, but I still want something good. I see a Kitchenaid one that holds 12 cups at a time, and the thing that interests me the most is that it has a special attachment for making bread dough, which I still eat. I also no…

  in popcorn kernals Comment by CTcyclist
• The reason I ask is because I’m considering taking popcorn kernels and making my own corn meal for use in my recipes, which is why I was hoping it was raw.

• Wow, very informative, thanks! I’m glad that’s the case, I love eating amaranth/quinoa, and I need to eat a decent amount because I need the protein for my activity level, it’d be a shame to have to cook those two.
