• beany – it’s a little more complicated. there’s not a ton of info on it online, but from doing research even many vegetables have fructose in them. there is a test to determine fructose malabsorption, which I plan on getting, but I am going to do th…

  in will I gain weight if I go lower raw? Comment by LizK
• oh I didn’t know that about veganism. I always thought of vegetarians as still eating things like yogurt/cheese, which I don’t because of the lactose. I haven’t been eating any form of animal products or byproducts. I definitely won’t be eating hot …

• it might not necessarily be food related…are you stressed or worried about something, even if it’s not completely obvious? I get anxiety a lot without even realizing it – my mom will be the one to notice – and it’ll keep me up for a whole week. My m…

• cool…I checked our one tiny health store here and they don’t have it, but in a few weeks I am moving back out of the boonies and re-entering city life haha, so I’ll probably be able to find it then. I hate ordering stuff online because half the time…

  in Yikes Comment by LizK
• wow, where did you get this stuff – do you have to order it online or something? I definitely need to at least try it…I too have “IBS” which as I’ve done more reading really seems to be something more like SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)…

• yes…I’m like 90% raw and my bf who I live with couldn’t be more opposite (lucky for him he is naturally skinny, he eats like crap though!) We don’t usually cook together anyway because I can’t eat gluten, dairy, soy, fake sugar, etc etc so it’s not …

• you can’t spot reduce. if you have fat on your stomach, no amount of crunches will make it go away – you have to lose overall body fat first.

• ughh I have it too…it was getting a little better but in the last month or so looks worse. My allergist told me it’s supposedly a sign of an allergy…but then again, I got tested for 24 different allergies and all were negative. I just use a normal c…

• yeah when I stopped nuts I bought some sunflower seeds, just for those times when I’m needing a little extra fat. I’ve noticed I haven’t really touched them but when I do it’s the same result as nuts. I never did well with fats though… I too do best…

  in pickling ginger Comment by LizK
• cool thanks…does yours turn out really spicy? I tried a tiny piece last night just to see, and I don’t know if it was the ginger or the ACV but man was it spicy! Maybe I just need to rinse the ACV off it before using? I’m not big on tart/spicy thing…

• I started at the very end of march, and I’ve lost 14 so far! I didn’t have much to lose, I was originally only aiming for 15 because usually it is so hard for me to lose. It came off pretty fast, I’ve never been able to lose more than 1lb a week, bu…

• I just used hemp protein powder for the first time! Not so much out of a need for protein, but just to bulk up my smoothie and I figured it wouldn’t hurt. The stuff is so good! It gave it a nice nutty flavor, I was afraid it would taste freaky. The …

• yeah I quit nuts cold turkey…I used to be a jar per week person with the PB…it was bad. Nuts in any form just don’t agree with me. I thought it would be really hard but honestly I haven’t looked back. It’s been like a month and I haven’t even though…

• hey, I used to be a runner and the workout I did for increasing speed and endurance at the same time, happened to be a great overall workout. I did 60 minutes in intervals of 10. Here’s how it broke down: 6 minutes of walking at 4.0-4.2mph and 12% i…

• I guess if I think about it, I do eat mainly fruit. like 80%? I put some spinach and almond milk in my daily smoothie though…and sometimes instead of tomato sauce I make sesame/ginger sauce for my zucchini. aside from that, I eat fruit.
