Saturday, March 25, 2006 I bought raw, organic hemp seeds today as a source of protein 
Today I met a friend at the raw food restaurant for lunch. She ordered the beet burger (what an awesome looking thing that is!) with avocado "fries" and I had the mock sushi, which I really enjoy. While I was there I bought hemp seed- a raw and organic product (kosher as well!). I'm so happy to have a variety of protein choices: raw milk cheese, hemp seed, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. These, in addition to the bread my girlfriend made (a success, people!) and the foods I normally eat, will boost my protein quite a bit. I can't wait to see if that makes a difference with my hair- and with other aspects of my health, for that matter. ---- OK, it is evening as I write this section. Do you believe I still managed to get a low amount of protein today? That's because I didn't consciously add protein until this evening, using the hemp. This product is not a powder, so when I added it to my smoothie I ground it in the blender before adding the fruit. The result was a bit thick and textured, but the taste was not affected. I'll probably add water next time I use powdered hemp. Right now I'm eating a snack of hummus, which adds enough protein to get me to a measly 38 grams. Sparkpeople.com says I should eat between 34 to 149 grams of protein a day. I guess only trial and error will tell me what is enough for this body, but I'm going to aim for no less than 50 to begin with and see how that goes.
