• why not go for hemp protein powder? or vitamineral green, or greener grasses, or the tons of fun veggie/protein supplements available out there. therawfoodworld.com has a ton of them, and in my experience they taste much better.

• if you also have hemp or flax oil, you can go around 92-100 days and still feel vibrant. after that, it isnt optimal. you also have to be careful because you become very sensitive afterwards, so be aware. if youre not 100% and willing to partake in …
