  • Also look for pick-your-own farms, farmer’s market, and roadside (farm connected) stands. IN addition to localharvest, give your state department of agriculture http://www.state.nj.us/agriculture/ a call and the local county extension office http://…

  • Well I’m back, going to hangout here and keep it calm and sane. Had a couple of very rough days emotionally and went off the 811 totally. So not good. :-( Watched the Rozalind Gruben talks over on YouTube, shopped at the farmers market this morning …
  • Hello, I was here for last months challenge, but didn’t quite finish it when I went on vacation. Been hanging out elsewhere and it hasn’t turned out all that well. I’d like to return to this challenge, if you all don’t mind a late entrant.
  • Shh, don’t tell anyone. Nut milk bags that I’ve seen are absolutely, totally identical to jelly bags that can be bought for 1/2 the price or less . Check an Ace hardware store. And when I was younger, we used muslin kitchen towels for jelly bags, or…

  • Hi all, Yes, I’ve been completely negligent about posting here. Still doing 811, and have developed a mildly snotty attitude about it at times. Yes, I’ve gone from newbie to evangelist in under 6 seconds. I’m still posting my FitDay sheets over at G…

  • Hi, I’m still here, doing well and staying on track. Did 1.75 days of mono meals. I’ve now gone back to more variety, but a LOT less than I was doing. The mono meals were helpful in working on some of my less desirable food habits. I plan to repeat …
  • Xeno, Maybe the two of you could start exploring making raw food more beautiful. Doing something to make your raw food plates/platters really attractive – color combos, some of those Japanese garnishing techniques, fancy cuts, etc. Also, exploring u…

  • 2 major steps to success on the 811 30 day experience. (the cold turkey method) 1) Donate all your non compliant food to the food bank. 2) Spend all your food budget on fruit and veg so that you can’t afford to eat out. Any other tips?
  • Ow! my mouth is burning again. Of course I ate some more of the pineapple, so what did I expect? Oh yeah, confirmation that’s it. I sure hope this is just this particular pineapple and not me suddenly developing an overall sensitivity to them. Espec…
