Wow!!! I Feel Better & Have More Energy Than I Have In Months!!! Here's What I Changed!

Oh I am with you on that!!! They sure do! Also mixed with Carrot it is a great juice! Nothing beats fresh apple the store bought ones loaded with sugar make me feel ill I actually get a headache and sick to my stomach it slightly burns my throat and just tastes unnatural. The apple juice has to be fresh for me. I do love Simply Apple though to those who don't have the time or means to make their own.

Great info!!!! I need to incorporate vitamin D as well. That is an amazing story!!! You healed yourself and beat this corrupt system!!!

Starvation (or in this case a severely restricted, no protein diet) always makes people feel great, it lowers inflammatory proteins. Stops working as soon as you start eating your normal amount of calories/protein again.

That is one theory of how anorexia becomes entrenched. You can see how even a semi fast is quite a buzz.

That is very true! I like them I do read every label they have more organic than non organic food but the main thing that brings me back is their wonderful prices. All of their food tastes sooo much better to me than that of the other grocery stores (Albertsons, Vons, Stater Bro. etc)

It's worth the time and effort to hunt around in there for deals. The rest of the stuff I cant find in there I get it in Sprouts, Whole Foods and Online

I'm not sure about the cheese in Amys products I want to look into it. Amys products do taste wonderful to me I get them whenever I can afford to as sometimes they can be pricey.

That is a great thing to invest in!!! A good juicer goes such a long way!!!

You are on a great path!!!

I have been considering fasting lately! I did a juice fast once for a week or so and I felt great!

I'm going to edit my original post and include the answer.

Be sure to always dilute the ACV 1-2 tablespoons in 8 oz of water. Less water less vinegar. So say you do 6 oz then add only one tablespoon or half of a tablespoon. I mix mine to where it is a little bit tart but not overwhelming.

It took me awhile to get used to the ACV. I adapted to it and no longer feel uncomfortable and have slight stomach aches as a result of it.

Its important to point out that ACV and also consuming more water than usual will have a detox effect and that can include stomach upset, headaches, feeling lethargic and breakouts.

If you'd like to kill two birds with one stone, combining a fast and elimination diet will help you identify potential allergens and migraine triggers.
You'd need to do this under supervision, though perhaps a naturopath? You have to keep a food diary and all that while slowly working a set group of foods back into your diet.
Its time consuming, but you can learn a lot about your body's relationship with food.

I got a blender for Christmas also...and a juicer. Yesterday I juiced beets, 2 chili peppers, 1 jalepeno, celery, carrots, garlic and warmed it for just a minute on the stove. I added some homemade pepper sauce we made with our home grown Datil peppers and it was delicious- really spicy, but great. I've been trying lots of new things- I like pomegranates, I've done those with apples, oranges and lemon. In the blender, I've made smoothies with bananas, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, a little lemon, small amount of plain yogurt. Kids have been drinking them up, and one of my children was starting a cold, but now it's gone since I've been making my concoctions for him to drink. I love this thread, I really enjoy hearing about the mixtures/supplements that work for everyone else.

That is very important I keep hearing about how a large amount of people are allergic to gluten and dairy. I'm willing to bet I'm allergic to one or both! It will be nice to find out!!

In my opinion everyone should own a juicer and everyone should juice at least once a day to be healthier! It should be the norm not the exception guys!!!

Yep.

That 700 watt unit I mentioned earlier that goes by different names at different pricepoints...

Here it is flying the Sharper Image Flag, 75 bucks:

[link to www.amazon.com]

We got ours at a Dillard's New Years Day sale, under a different name, 25 bucks.

Sam's Club had the same unit under a different name for 50 bucks this recent Christmas time.

Another thing that is handy is a hand held immersion blender.
WallyWorld sells a decent Hamilton Beach number for 20 bucks.
I'll use the heavy duty glass container Cusinart blender to make some berry juice/paste... sometimes close to a jam. Keep it in a mason jar in fridge.
Put some in a glass/cup, put in some plain yogurt (which I sometimes make myself), some water, maybe some milk, use the immersion blender to zap.
Very easy cleanup as opposed to the bigger blenders for this purpose.

That immersion blender is also handy for malted milk shakes.
Malt extract is least expensive in this neck of the woods at a shop that sells beer brewing supplies.

I make my own ice milks and ice creams.
They are the best, for sure.
Less sugar. No gums. No krap.
Have used honey that we get from a friend who keeps bees at several locations.
Brown sugar.
Hamilton beach 1 1/2 quart ice cream maker, 20 bucks outlet mall store. The type where you pre-freeze the container.

Recently made some black sesame seed ice milk with some black sesame seed powder I recently picked up on a trip to Asia.
Picked up some great almond powder.
And other things.

The Ninja gets used to make falafel, pestos, other things.

The heavy duty glass container blender is great for so many things.
Recently made some tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes... some onion, garlic, thyme, basil, rosemary, oregano... when it cooked to where I liked it put it into the blender, hit the buttons.
Great help in rendering things hot from a pan into a sauce.

I just got tired of all the crud in the foods at the local stores.
Nothing beats doing it yourself.

Actually, that Sharper Image unit does look somewhat modified... the knob/switch is missing from the side.

We got ours as a Bella, which seems to get better reviews:

I just started juicing after watching a pal of mine go from about 400 lbs down to 250 in 3 months. He was juicing exclusively. I'm not doing that but I've also felt better than ever before. No naps anymore! Used to be a sleep junkie.

My usual recipe is (I have a Breville juicer that ran about 150 dollars.)

1 half bunch kale
1 half bunch cliantro
1 half bunch spinach
sliced ginger
2 habeneros
3 garlic cloves
1 heirloom tomato
handfull of celery
half a cucumber

I've been juicing every day for over a month and I think I can beat Mike Tyson. It's also fun to do!

Cheers to the juicers!

I recently began to take tumeric. You may know already, it is hard to absorb, so I add it to coconut milk and slightly heat, then eat spoonfuls.
I am planning soon to learn how to ferment it, because I suspect that this is how the high priced maximum absorbing ones are done.

I am taking 100 mg. Ubiquinol (Now brand). I was told that this is the same as CO Q 10, but it is better absorbed.

Is this true?

great thread OP...5 stars and a

Great timing also!

This is the turmeric I've been taking. Good stuff.

I found out by accident that a single dose of 400 mgs of CoQ10 greatly reduces nerve pain in my leg.

After several months I needed to reduce the dosage to 200 mgs for it to continue working.

Realingz that eating healthy and nutritious foods (minus the corn chips and salsa) makes you feel better is a sudden pin worthy and even topic worthy thread? I don't want to rain on your parade and attempt at sharing something with people, but news flash dumbass, eating refined and chemical filled foods out of boxes and packages OF COURSE you're going to feel better when you eat something the opposite (fresh green drinks, etc) I would suggest you go on the internet and search a little more or perhaps actually read a nutrition book.

gorilla diets rock.

I get turmeric by the bag in Asian markets.

How much & what form do you take?

we export food for 10x our population but we can only get GMO foods unlabeled of course. organic is expsneive and not a real option for middle class people here.

Check out what this woman did, cured herself from MS with food:

Thank you!!!!

I just watched the video. Very inspiring!

This recipe sounds good!!! Thanks for sharing it!

I'll simply say this thread was started as a *positive* open discussion on what works for each person who posts. What gives this thread any less value than all the other ones? In my opinion it affects everyone who views it...it is not selective. You took the time to come here and type an entire paragraph yet you offered us nothing no insight you just dropped insults, judgement, and negative energy. If a health thread gets you riled up in a negative manner in which it drives you to attempt to belittle people then I find that disturbing. Health is a journey btw its not something you just arrive at one day and go OK here I am I am now the almighty health police. So yes it is a continual discussion. I have studied holistic medicine, herbs, etc for 10 years. I have been off an on with eating healthy it doesn't mean it just dawned on me and I started everything today it means I felt the need to draw attention to this topic and I would never insult anyone who is making an effort. There are some people who are still learning about ways to have greater health and they shouldn't be judged.
