• I have no special reaction to cacao. I don’t love it, and I don’t hate it. I don’t get a floaty happy reaction that some describe (usually those who are selling it), and I also have no negative reaction to it (that I am aware of). I use it on occas…

• I agree with you (although to be honest I’m not quite as frustrated about it LOL). I still enjoy chamomile and ginger twist whole leaf herbal tea a LOT, although I avoid green tea, because I don’t like the taste. Yay tea!

• i’m in the same boat. personally, and i know this is really weird, but i haven’t had a single hot food craving, and i’m in one of the coldest regions of canada. i think its due to my doing yoga every moring, it really keeps the body temperature up. …

• I get my chia seeds from a local farmers market, from the company “Nujima Living Foods.” I’m sure you could find them at a local health food store or market.

• chia seeds, have them on hand all the time. soak a few tablespoons in filtered water for 10 minutes and you’ve got yourself enough energy to last at least 5 hours. not the most gourmet thing, but easy, quick, nutritious, and cost effective as well. …

• Having experience in self destructive behaviour, I would advise you to avoid doing a juice feast/fast if you have any history of eating disorders. It is VERY easy to fall back into restriction and “bullying yourself” into not eating. Judging by the …
