We just started with the Piraceam too, but we have liquid. We are giving 50mg

per kilo per day in 3 doses. Which at his size is about 800mg per day.

As for potty training I have to say I am suprised! I have been trying all

summer to potty train Bill with no luck! But we started the Piracetam last

Tues and on Thurs he started asking to go to the potty. And on Sat he woke up

dry and clean! An since then he has had only 1 accident! I don't know if it

is the Med or a coinsidece, but either way I am thrilled!!!!!! No more

diapers!!!!!!! Yippeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Both Camdengrey.com and from nature with love have deodorant containers.

I'm not sure about the aloe butter though. Wholesale supplies plus has

the aloe butter I think, they may have the deodorant containers also.

Hope this helps,

Sherry S

I need to find:

1. Lotion bar or deodorant containers--was presented with a recipe and

told I'd have an order if I made it up--who can resist?? Any idea

where I can get the containers I'd need cheap?

2. The same recipe calls for aloe butter and I can't find anyone on my

usual suppliers list who carries it--if you carry it contact me

off-list, if you know a good supplier please post?

Thanks in advance,

Serra

Sounds like you're building muscle, which is revving up your

metabolism. That happened to me at the beginning, but then I started

getting cold again when I dropped to a low bf %. Your body will

adjust.

Probably not. 5 pounds of that is probably water weight; you always

lose faster at the beginning, on any program. How many calories are

you eating?

It's certainly possible. Also, I found that breastfeeding made me

hot, so it could be a combination.

If you're not feeling hungry and (even more important) your baby

isn't grumpy and unsettled from being hungry, then I'd say you're

eating enough. Make the most of this time. I did my first challenge

while breastfeeding and the added calorie burning from the nursing

and the lack of hormonal fluctuations made it SO much easier.

Hi Jen, I just bought some fenugreek seed the other day and to my nose it

Balsam Peru or Tolu come to mind...just a touch of jasmine or ylang will add

a " sugary " sweetness

resiny/medicinal?

The " amber " blends are usually combination of benzoin absolute with touches

of clary sage, sandalwood, patchouli, balsam peru, labdanum, storax etc.,

depending on the manufacturer. I agree, some have more of a resinous,

plastic-like odor than others.

I make a sweet amber blend by combining:

4 parts (drops, millilitres, etc.) benzoin absolute

1 parts labdanum e.o.

1 part balsam Peru e.o.

1 part sandalwood e.o.

If desired, add a touch of clary sage e.o. for depth

I can tolerate the Myoplex Lite, it isn't too bad. Chocolate Fudge. I

have only tried the pre-made kind, they are supposedly better than

the packets. The GenSoy Vanilla is my favorite. I like to add a

banana with it and then it is pretty yummy. I prefer those made with

Soy protein over whey protein. A friend of mine who is on her second

BFL challenge and she likes the whey better. I think you just have

to try some and find what you like. The good thing about vanilla is

you can add nonfat, sugar free hot chocolate mix to it or banana or

cinnamon and have completely different shakes. I haven't tried plain

though.

I think that the best calipers are Slim Guides. http://bodytrends.com/cre874.htm

Hussman recommends them too. They're big, spring-loaded, consistent, and easy to

use compared to some of the little flimsy ones.

My favorite protein powder is by far chocolate EAS Simply Whey. It passes the " I

can drink it alone in water " test with flying colors. Optimum chocolate tastes

like a mud puddle to me. Strawberry Nitro-Tech is pretty good, very sweet, kinda

expensive. Vanilla Precision Protein grossed me out but I haven't had it in a

couple of years. Maybe they've changed the sweetener or something. Designer

flavors are always drinkable but I'm not crazy about them.

The big problem with protein powders is that everyone's tastes are totally

different. What one person raves about will make another person heave. You'll

probably have to try a couple of brands to find your own favorite.

Who makes the best/most accurate/easy to use fat calipers???

What is the best (least horrible tasting) protein powder? Is it

flavored like vanilla or chocolate, or is it just plain old protein

powder?

Thanks for any responses.

[Guest guest]

I use EAS Somply Whey. I can get a big jug of it at wal-mart and it

works pretty good. I've even used the chocolate in pancakes. Not

much taste. I can't drink it straight up though.

I have to agree. I use the vanillia to add to baking ect. For a shake, I use

1 scoop powder, ice cubes, 1/4 cup h2o and 1 pkg swiss miss no added sugar cocoa

mix...very good!

Bands are fine for workouts where you don't have access to weights. They're

great for throwing in a suitcase and taking with you. They do give you some

resistance but it's not the same as weights. They seem to be much worse on my

elbows than real weights. I may be crazy though.

Betagen has glutamine and HMB in addition to the creatine. It may help a little

more with recovery than plain creatine. Glutamine is good for your immune system

and HMB has some fat loss buzz.

Two questions

I know someone will be able to help me out!

1. In this month's Energy, a woman is doing an arm workout with giant elastic

exercise bands. Are those any good or are they a girly-girl pink dumbbell waste

of time? I ask because I'm always looking for good exercises that won't strain

my elbows, which are moderately arthritic, and I'm thinking the elastics might

be a good idea.

2. Is there any advantage to Betagen over plain creatine?

Thanks!

,

If you run two separate protocols on the same client, why would you want to see them on the same graph? If you are training different frequencies and/or different sites, I don't understand what the benefit would be of seeing them on the same graph.

The answer is, to the best of my knowledge, that you would have to end one session (and thus create its graphable file) in order to create a new protocol (or better yet, have in already created under a different name) and run that one.

-----Original Message-----From: Goldring [mailto:paul.goldring@...]Sent: Friday, April 25, 2003 8:34 AM Subject: two questions1) If I run two protocols on a patient do I have to stop the session, go back to the home screen and change all the settings?

I would recommend avoiding eating anything from a can and crackers!!!

forget those all together. Eat whole foods, prepared by you so that

you know what is in them. Turkey chili is easy to prepare and freeze

in ziploc containers.

That's just my opinion.

[Guest guest]

This is just my opinion, but I would not have the canned chili

1) I try to stick w/ real, unprocessed food

2) crackers??! Heck no, I don't eat anything " white "

Just my opinion!!!!!

Is it just meat chili?? Or with beans??

I would eat a meat chili with veggies...no beans (home made) with a

wheat tortilla baked in the oven at about 350 for 10 mins...makes it

crispy like crackers

I keep some in my desk drawer for emergencies. I eat it with WASA

rye crackers. Same as WW bread. Not the best choice, but not the

worst and good in a pinch.

Your traps won't get big unless you do a whole lot of heavy shrugs.

Shoulder exercises like presses and lateral raises don't involve the

trapezius enough to be an issue. Even upright rows are ok if you let

your shoulders do the work and don't accidentally start shrugging.

Training your shoulders is really important to achieving beautiful,

well-balanced arms. Plus, a strong, well-rounded shoulder cap actually

makes your hips look smaller. Women who don't workout have narrow,

flat, soft shoulders that make the hips appear wide by comparison.

Shoulder training is the greatest thing ever invented for anyone who's

pear-shaped! :-) Pears can actually transform themselves into an

hourglass or V-shape.

Do shoulder presses hurt because you have an injury? If you have

screaming pain inside the joint itself, don't do any moves that

aggravate it. Some exercises are easier on the joint than others.

Front and lateral raises cause fewer problems than heavy overhead

presses, which can really tweak crunchy injured shoulders. If you're

using a barbell, pressing in front of the neck is easier on the

shoulders than pressing behind it. Arnold presses are probably the

safest overhead press because they rotate through a more natural range

of motion. Be sure to start light if you have a history of shoulder

problems or if you're not used to training them.

Here's a whole page of shoulder moves if you're looking for some new ideas:

I'll take on the shake question...alot of folks will throw in a few

berries or 1/4 banana in a shake...but it is a small quantity. Many

use the Myoplex lite just as it is less calories and carbs than its

full strength sister. If I add fruit into my shake, I usually only

add fruits that are low glycemic ones...and if I opt for banana (which

I do as they are yummy in shakes), I usually put in 1/4 of a small

one...some go up to 1/2 a banana. I stick to strawberries or raspberries.

I also like the lite version of Myoplex...the regular stuff is way too

much for me...in consistancy and in taste. Even with the lite, I use

more ice cubes to cut it down.

In the EFL book, there are some great variations on the shake. A few

berries or a small piece of banana is not going to break you. A lot

of fruit would be two bananas in a shake...not a little piece. A

handful of berries is fine...a 2 handfuls of mango may be more

calories and carbs then you want to bargin with in the beginning.

Also,if you are doing everything else (eating clean and lifting to

intensity)...you should be fine, with the simple shake or one from the

EFL book.

1. CARBS IN SMOOTHIES

I use a protein powder that only has 1 gram of carb. This gives me plenty

of room for adding fruit. Bear in mind that we're all individuals - EFL

was written as a guideline, and recipes need to be adjusted to your

particular body.

2. FAT FREE YOGURT

I use a light fat free yogurt; it uses a sugar substitute, and is about 110

calories per container. This, with cottage cheese, is a favorite Meal 6

for me.

3. FREEDAY

I do not think you should forego your freeday because of carbs in your

shakes, or the yogurts. Just keep going, as planned.

General - relax. Eat whole foods. Enjoy your food. Use palm/fist for

portions and you'll be fine.
