I decided to try again with green smoothies to increase my green leafy intake. I'd given up making them some months ago as I disliked the 'grainy-ness'. Just too chunky for me to enjoy. All the vids showed lovely smooth well blended greens. Mine ha
So...feeling a little nervous right now...but excited too! This afternoon is my first class of a 5 year chiropractic course. What life changes have you made since going 811?

I am pasting a link that reports a study of what happened to rats when fed a high fat diet. In summary - fatty foods damaged the hypothalamus region of the brain in rodents. The hypothalamus produces hormones that control hunger, thirst, sleep, moods
I am looking into B12 and have only found sublingual methylcobalamin combined with extra folate and B6. According to cronometer I am having no problems getting sufficient folate or B6. Is Methylcobalamin available on its own or is it always comb
I have been using cronometer and notice that my daily Vitamin A levels are very high. As it is a fat soluble vitamin I am wondering if any of the long-termers have had any issues as I cant see that if I follow the811 recommendations that it is goin
One of the things that I have not gotten used to is the increased urinary frequency since starting 811. I am guessing there is no way around this...that its just the way my body wants to respond to this way of eating.
I was 'googling' for some info on amino acids and found this website -http://nutritiondata.self.com It has great breakdown data on everything I have so far plugged into it!
Does anyone go hiking regularly? I have been planning on doing a 3 day hike at some point. I have started to try to figure out how to do this on an 80/10/10 diet! Would this be a situation where dehydrated foods would have to be used? Any suggestions
