• I get fresh rolled raw oats from goldminenaturalfoods.com. I am not sure about possible contamination, though. Lately I have been subbing buckwheat sprouts for oats and loving it! I also buy my groats from the above website as they are of a higher q…

• Those scales use electrical impedance I think. There are also formulas you can use that require you to take some measurements, plug in the numbers, do the math and voila! a pretty accurate body fat percentage.

• yes.Muscle weighs twice what the same amount of fat would weigh but the same amount in lbs takes up half the space. This is why I’ll also measure and calculate body fat. It is more accurate.

• Watch eating a lot of fat with high glycemic carbs. This has been a huge lightbulb moment for me recently as I have cut the fat WAY back in my diet. The fat in the blood impairs insulin activity so it is harder to quickly move glucose into cells. Wi…

• I am feeling very good so far. I did some emotional eating again last weekend but stayed 811. Just had a lot (WAY too many!) of calories. I ate too many bananas! El-bo, it’s good to see that you embraced your decision to eat the cooked food, enjoy a…

• It didn’t print the percents, so that’s 15 percent fat and 7 percent calories from greens

• Doing great so far. I definitely feel better eating a lot of greens. I had a salad and used a bit of olive oil (95 cal worth) and ended up at 15 fat because of the greens being higher fat. Greens were 7 of my calories. Nutridiry is great and I’ve we…

• Thanks Robby for all the great info. I will definitely check out the path of health! Moth, I don’t think that statement is truly correct. I do know fasting will change the metabolic rate and make the body store fat more easily, but I think steady fo…

• Glad To see everyone is doing so well. I’ve been very close to 811 everyday and usually a bit below 10% on the fat. I’m still flabbergasted that there are no cravings. I had another stressful day at work but I am much less worn out both mentally and…

• I have just put the corn in the husk in the dehydrator for a few hours to warm it and it was delicious. You aren’t dehydrating the corn because of the husk. You could probably just leave it in the sun and get the same effect.

• I’m in for a try. I did the raw diva detox a couple of weeks ago and felt great. From what I have read about 811, this detox seemed very similar. I have been pretty much sticking with it eating just a little added fat here and there and noticed that…

• I like to leave it in the husk and put it in the dehydrator for a few hours. It is better than cooked that way. I have read differing opinions on corn. There is a concern with fungal contamination and therefore mycotoxin issues.

• I use some parsley, ~2.5-3 oz per 2 qts juice. I use spinach, kale, escarole (or endive or dandelion ) romaine and celery. Romaine is actually one of the best lettuces to juice according to Norman Walker. I use 12 oz. per 2 qt of that. I used to eat…
