I have emailed Mark about this. Hopefully he will weigh in.

I am planning to get a Sonicare. Also have decided to cut out yogurt (full-fat plain greek) and cheese. I eat a lot of both.

I have...

I take a cal/mag with 250 mgs of mag (80% oxide, 10% citrate, 10% amino acid chelate) and then a multi with some more mag 40mg. Looks like it doesn't have much potassium, just 10 mg. I take fermented...

Cool video, thanks! I want Mark's kitchen...or even just all that fridge space :-)

... a BAS is a good place for that also full of awesome nutrients!

What is a "BAS"?

I was not raised on veggies. I am finding that transition a challenge. I wish someone could just come into...

I guess the key that I don't understand is that I am MUCH closer to a primal diet that before (lots of while flour and sweeteners back then, lots of fruit and honey and what conventional people would...

Hello, I posted here a few months back about struggles with my children's exposure to non-primal food.

I have a new problem. It seems that I have been sucessful with changing my own diet. I just...

Thanks for the Meatza recipe Greensprout. I am going try it. Showed the photos to my kids. Didn't get an enthusiastic response, but we'll see :-)

Also thanks to Groquette for the Bento photos. Now...

Greensprout, I too am struggling with the food prep time and having stuff available to pack for lunch. I have been barbecuing up a bunch of chicken breasts on the weekends, then slicing them up and...

Hi Chairdr, I think a lot of us bring childhood experiences into our decision making with our children. I never had any eating or weight problems, so I am not concerned about closet eating. And...

You're welcome :-) Good luck!

Minxxa, Thanks for the cheese and meat idea. Believe it or not, I hadn't though of adding those things. They would work too!

Erin, I so agree that people are looking for inspiration and someone to...

Thanks Chairdr, My problem with my spouse involves decision making with our children. I am ready to put my foot down with these daily temptations, he is not. I think I am teaching them something by...

I had a breakthough last night. It was my turn for snacks at our 7 year old's baseball game. I brought little skewers, each holding one orange slice, one watermellon cube, and one strawberry, 20 for...

I would read "Gut and Psychology Syndrome" by Dr Natasha Campbell McBride. She outlines a program for curing gut problems. Her book has a diet referred to as the GAPS diet. Her website has an intro...

Thanks Mike and Steve and others,

Yes, cost is an issue for sure. Lots of good suggestions from everyone here, and mostly lots of support, which is what I really needed.

I emailed my little...

The best book I have found for gut health is "Gut and Psychology Syndrome" by Dr Natashia Campbell McBride. Much more detailed than the SCD book. It is a fascinating book, just read the comments for...

So yesterday the 7 year old had a popsicle in class because it was hot and one of the mothers decided to bring them in for everyone. Then after his evening baseball game there were popsicles again.
...

Egoldstein,
Thanks for your post. I would not assume that just because someone is thin, that they are ok with sugar. It could be going to their arteries. My father-in-law was always thin, but needed...

Spinner, I am on a yahoo group for a diet called GAPS ("Gut and Psychology Syndrome" an excellent book). Anyway, the folks there recommend fermented food for sugar cravings. They say that you will...

Thanks, I will definatly check out that Youtube posting and yes, my hubby responds better to others than to me. I am the researcher in my family too.

Sugar vortex - so true! Sometimes I want to...

Thanks Kev, Do you sweeten the whipped cream, or just serve as is?

I appreciate hearing the success stories. If I had it to do over again, my children would have been fed correctly from the...

Minxxa, Is "The Truth about Sugar" a movie? I could not find it on Netflix. I did find "Sugar, The Bitter Truth" on Youtube (Dr Lustig). Is that it?

The sad thing about the child eating pancakes...

I have to chime in here again.
Let me just, as an example, list the treat concessions I have had to make in just the last 4 days:

Friday: Birthday party in 1st grade class (cupcakes), evening...

You are SO right. Attitude is the key. It is so hard to not be judgemental and deep down, I am. And I am just so tired of all the junk presented to my kids. It's everywhere. But I need to chill out....

Congrats on the success with a 16 year old! The lunch sounds good. I am new to this, are dried fruits allowed? I have been banned by my children from putting hard boiled eggs in their lunches...
