Ooh...I was planning on having a hamburger for dinner. That sounds like a

great way to season it.

From my understanding, the only " milk " that is okay is soy or rice milk (and

maybe goat's milk?). They taste too sweet to me, but I suppose they grow on

you.

The local Drug Emporium here has a small health food store within it which

is much cheaper than the other health food stores (and carries sweet potato

chips). If you have one in your town, you might want to check it out.

Hi!

Jerboa mate is a green tea but it is a booster to immune system which is bad

for us. since I'm originally from Argentina I also like it, I suggest to be

moderate abut it. maybe here an there.

Hi I buy the hulled millet from the health food shop and cook that up.

1cup of water to 1/4 cup millet. It turns out like a porridge. Make sure you

get the hulled millet and not the unhulled millet as it is like eating

little rocks. Also buckwheat can be made into a porridge as well. Sherry

Hi everyone. I bought some cashew butter and ate the whole lot and became

stuffed up in the sinusus and a runny nose. Peanuts do the same to me. I

didn't realise we couldn't eat cashews until that happened and I read the

book to verify. See what it does to you if you want to have it. Sherry

Hi again. I will try the meatloaf. I prefer the almond milk as well and the

almond butter. I use the almond butter when I am snacking as it is a pretein

and helps to stop eating too much carbo. Can't help you on the tea as I have

never heard of it, is it a herb. Sherry

sherry,

thats a great idea about making you own sweet potato chips!i'll have to

try baking them cause that would be so much lower cal.yerba matte is a

herb that gives me alot of mental energy,i need all the help i can get!

maggie

[Guest guest]

sari, thats too bad about the tea.are you sure it's the same kind we're

talking about?you spelled it differently.

maggie

[Guest guest]

Hi Sari, I am not sure if you can drink it. I know that the Japenese green

tea makes me more acidic so maybe that tea might be the same. What does it

do to you. Sherry

Hi Sherry,

I'm not that sensitive. I'm amazed of all of you who can feel the different

reactions in their bodies. the only thing I can really feel is the

combination between crabs and protein. otherwise I can tolerate almost every

thing.

Hi Sari, Your lucky so enjoy it. Sometimes I get a bit fed up with being so

sensetative and start eating or drinking the things I react too but I am

becoming more accepting of myself and not caring what others think anymore

especially if I am in a restaurant. I just don't want to be sick anymore.

Hi maggie, I will have to look up yerba matte. Is there another name for it.

Good luck with the sweet potato chips. I slice them thinly and round, use to

make them for the kids when they were younger. Sherry

Dear ,

remain. We herewith pledge $200.00 per month X 6 months (perhaps X 12 months) if

Ken can (and is willing to) continue.

We can keep track of our own weight. I wouldn't ask everyone to post their

weight online!! Back in 1998, we did a challenge when Max was still

around. We did only Highly Beneficials!! Not even any Beneficials. I

thought that was rather strict. I did it though. And...I had energy like I

had never had before. It was almost like a high. I'm willing to do what

everyone else does. We need to hear from a few more people. As soon as we

get at least four people lets set a date and post what we eat each day

during the challenge. Let's remember health benefits are most important,

weight loss is secondary. We can let each other know if we did lose weight

at the end of the 3 weeks. Let me know your thoughts on this.

That's right!! We can each have our individual goals. I'm going to start

menu planning now. And I am also doing some practise meals as well.

Tonight I had sweet potato, a small steak and romaine salad. I'm well

satisfied too. For breakfast, I am planning to have cereal, probably oats

and fruit. My biggest problem is going to be coffee. I love it. So I will

have to substitute with green tea. I need the caffeine or I will get

caffeine headaches. I usually only allow myself one cup of coffee in the

morning. We won't discuss the size of the cup. If you all discuss your

meals on here, it will help us have new ideas for ourselves. Thanks so

much, Irene!!! Now we have 4 people. I'm really getting excited. I still

miss Max. We actually got pretty close and talked on the phone several

times. He was a sweetie. I'm sure the ER4YT diet prolonged his life. At

one time he couldn't walk across the room without almost fainting and he got

to the point on the ER diet that he was able to walk around outside. I know

many of you remember Max. He had a great sense of humor and a calming

effect on the group.

Oh yeah....My freind . I'm so glad you are joining in. Now there were

five!! Did you get any of the fires near you? I've been worried about all

of you guys in Oklahoma and Texas. Missouri had a long hot spell but just

enough rain to keep things from getting dangerous. I feel so bad about all

the animals

in Texas.

October is great! But I am going to start getting the wheels in motion

now, to get in the right mind set!

We don't have to post weight... but it might be helpful to keep a

personal tracking sheet. If we post our successes/challenges it may be helpful

to

the others for inspiration and/or empathy! Good idea to start figuring

meal plans! Les

[Guest guest]

I suggest just posting any weight loss weekly. Total lost without an actual

weight for those who are sensitive about it. I'm getting started too.

Rethinking what I did last time that was so successful. I just remember the

huge burst of energy I got after the first week!!! Good luck to us.

Sleep Improved No Change

Weight Loss Pounds lost Pounds gained

Energy Improved No change

Before you say anything about the weight loss. We actually had a couple on

the challenge before who gained weight the first week. Then......some of

them lost as much as 7 lbs. the next week. So, it is important to have that

in there. Let me know if you think of a better way.

You have great ideas. I agree, whatever works for each person. That's why

I didn't want to make it all about weight loss.

SOunds good to me too - I like the look of that Abs for women book I have.

I've been ill with pneumonia and am having an exhausting time trying to come

right so I am looking at a " health building " type challenge in more than one

way.

(I have cushings syndrome so no immune system; infections take forever to come

right for me)

So far, due to lack of energy, I have found that a handful of fresh nuts is a

great quick and easy snack meal. And a couple microwave-scrambled eggs takes 60

seconds (with a cheat of havarti cheese added and curry powder) for another easy

protein boost.

My third trick is to make a lot of good soup base, and add different

protiens/spices to each serving.

My base:

Organic low sodium red pepper and tomato soup (bought) plus lots of chopped

dandelions, chopped green onions, and finely chopped garlic, and some egg-rice

noodles I found at the HF store.

One serving I added a can of herring (organic no sodium added)

Another I added Kobe beef and hot curry powder.

Next one I used lamb chop pieces, thyme and oregano.

Looking forward to new ideas here.

Welcome !

Namaste,

Irene

Irene,

I'm sorry you have been so sick~~

Hope you regain good health soon. I'm looking at your soup base recipe and

wondering....do you pick your dandelion greens our of your yard?
