• Yes wine is never heated, nor cider or champagne either. It is just fermented grape juice. And cider is just fermented apples or pears. But like others say it isn’t usually vegan and has all kinds of crap in it unless it is organic and vegetarian. I…

• you can buy stevia online which is sweet, and that mesquite stuff, and lucama. They’re pricey superfoods though, I’d stick with bananas, raisins, figs and dates.

• There was a thing at a gym I used to go to where you stood on it and twisted from side to side, it worked wonders, sorry but I don’t know what it is called. Also hula hooping is brilliant fun and terrific for the waist.

• shelled pecans are usually not raw because they boil or steam them to get the shell open. So if they’re shelled then soaking won’t do anything to them. If they are raw it doesn’t matter if they are halved or quartered whatever, soaking will still re…
