• I've been struggling with this issue too. In September I tried eating according to the 811 approach... and it didn't help me at all. I've been eating so much fruit, limited fats to no avail. So now I'm going to go the other way, and cut out my fruit…

• actually, eating a raw diet has eased my PMS symptoms and I end up feeling great and don't get cramps anymore! :) but if you decide you need it, a hot cup of tea wouldn't be the end of the world.

• sounds great. I only buy their coconut butter because I'm not very good at cutting open coconuts, and the jar lasts a long time. But yes, for all of those nut butters it is so much cheaper to make your own. enjoy :)

• it seems like every time I find a new staple, it turns out I shouldn't eat it! this time it's dried coconut. I'm nut free in my house, and I've been making bread with coconut flour, chia, and sunflower seeds. hmmm, back to the drawing board I guess.

• I guess my situation can’t help you…but I’ll share anyway. :) I talked to my favorite fruit vendor at my local farmer’s market and asked if they do bulk rates. They are giving me a $1/lb. if I buy a box, which has been coming to 28 lbs. I fill it up…

• I like Zoe’s Spring Onion Cheeze (using sunflower seeds). I substitute hemp seeds for the pine nuts, since my home is a nut free home. yummy, and it seems much lighter than nut cheezes. I’m sure it is still high fat, but it is the only overt fat tha…
