• Nutrition and Athletic Performance by Doug Graham. A lot of the stuff he talks about seems so basic but I never followed any advice until I read the book. It's really good and there's a whole chapter on bananas!

• it used to cost me about $120 a week when i shopped at giant eagle (big chain grocery store), but now i go to aldi's (small store) and it's like $60 a week. granted, aldi's doesn't sell organic produce, so i wash the heck out of it when i use it. i …

• ahh that's so great audrey!! i bet it feels good to make an impact on a little kid's eating since they usually don't eat very well.

  in This is awesome!!!! Comment by joannabanana
• I don't have a problem with it, personally. I guess I grew up eating meat and dairy and some raw foodists feel that it's still necessary to include it in their diet. I like reading everyone's point of view on it.

• i stop eating when i'm not hungry. i usually get my meals in between 4-7. if i'm hungry around midnight, i'll have a cut-up banana and berries or just a tbsp of flax seeds to fill me up. it's impossible for me to sleep if my stomach is growling.

• i'd still go with water or juice. i think you should invest in a good juicer, if you can. or even just a citrus juicer which are pretty cheap. i love grapefruit and orange juices added to my smoothies and on their own. you could also do your own nut…

• well, our bodies need glucose to function and it's the simplest form of a carbohydrate so you have to eat it. besides the glucose (dextrose) and fructose, if your diet is primarily fruits and veggies, i don't see how you could eat corn. if you're bu…

• i tried baking soda on my face a few minutes ago. my face is really tingly (somewhat burning) and it's really red. i just put some jojoba oil on top because i'm worried. is this normal?

  in GORGEous Skin... Comment by joannabanana
• i definitely HATE the ACV! ahaha my face has gotten so red and inflammed from it. i used jojoba oil tonight just because it was really itchy, too. won't be doing that again.

• it's usually no buckwheat and your sweeteners should be dates. you can still do nut/seed mylks as long as they fit into your ratio. 80/10/10 is difficult for me because fruit is just so expensive and i can't afford to buy and eat so much. it's easy …

• you won't get diabetes from too much sugar. you can get it from too much fat in your diet but it's just if you are obese. maybe do all fruit for one week and see how you feel. it's really not a bad thing at all.

  in I'm NOT handling greens very well... but I don't want to become a fruitarian Comment by joannabanana
• you just don't eat overt fats... or just eat a small amount of them. it's pretty easy to get the ratio if all your meals are fruits, veggies, and greens.
