You won’t feel better right away. The first two weeks can be hard. Sugar cravings (carbs, chips, soda, sugar) and dairy cravings (cheese) are intense. I also had soy cravings. These fade off in a couple of weeks but don’t underestimate them. Make sure you eat enough. If you’re craving foods just eat more. It …

I was on antidepressants for over a decade. They probably saved my life. If you’re taking them and want to try eliminating food, keep taking them until you feel like the depression/anxiety is gone, don’t stop first.

(I updated the chicken broth recipe and the chicken wing recipe. They’re actually even easier now!) The baby is head down and everything’s going well. I have to get up twice a night to pee and my sacroiliac joint hurts and sometimes my right leg goes kinda numb… And I’m tired and emotional (but not exhausted …
I eat these all the time. Daily. They’re so good for you, they’re so yummy, and they don’t bother me at all. 1. Put approx. 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a frying pan. This might seem like a lot but it’s good for you and it makes the collards tastier. 2. Wash collard greens. …

Hopefully, this post will eventually be called “olive brands that are preservative free”. I’m looking for olive brands that are only made with olives and salt, water or olive oil, and are preservative free. So far I have this brand: (and it is sooo good – you can also eat the olive oil it’s in …

This has been my diet for the last month and a half: Lettuce Cilantro Beef Chicken Collard greens Apple cider vinegar Coconut oil Olive oil A ton of salt. REALLY boring.
