Hi there. In response getting enough protein, don’t forget the seeds! Try chia or hemp seeds on salads or in smoothies for a powerful punch with few calories. I am not a professional, but have done some reading on the subject. Chia seeds soaked in almond milk or coconut and a little stevia makes a great “pudding”

I have a question about digestion……I hear that on this plan one needs to include a LOT of water , but I also heard that drinking water with or near meals can dilute the digestive enzymes which slows digestion. Is this true, and, if so, how would one time water intake to have less of an impact?

I will likely write everything down (I don’t have a very smart phone!). Just a question…..are these forums new? there don’t seem to be that many posts, unless they are archived? I mean, if this has been around for a long while, why are there so few posts?

Is chewing gum allowed on this program? I am a compulsive “taster” when preparing anything, really, and I especially like raw dough of any kind. I find chewing mint gum helps me to break this habit. sometimes when I want something sweet I get a vitamin C tablet or a B12 and dissolve it under my tongue.

My sister-in-law has been on a low carb diet for awhile, and she made this delicious “rice” from grated cauliflower! Add egg and veggies (with low sodium soy sauce, if allowed) and it is very close to fried rice.
