MoreKelly,
thank you for you answer to my question about sugar. I didnt realize fruit juice had more sugar than the maple syrup in the MC.
Next question I have is Ive noticed I read "dont eat too much almnond butter". I have not weight problems. I eat sprouted almonds and almond butter both. Why should I limit this food? I need alot of fat and calories and prefer that over tablespoons of oil. I have cut out all grains, beans, as well as sugar for about a week now. It is hard to get 2000 calories in on fruits, veggies, goat cheese, and almonds until I add foods back in.
Thanks,
katie

MoreThis is a reply to # 346,738Hi Katie -
Almond butter can be challenging to digest in large amounts - any nuts can really. Sprouting nuts and seeds like you are doing with the almonds is a good idea.
Almond butter, especially the kind that is not fresh that comes in jars, can also be a bit moldy/fungusy as it has been sitting around for awhile.
Best to get it freshly ground if you can.
Are you doing coconut milk at all? That can be a help.
Be well,

This is a reply to # 346,739I tasted it once and didnt really like it. Did you mean was I just drinking it straight? Or using it in my almonds?

This is a reply to # 346,740You usually wouldn't "drink" it straight unless it was fresh, which is really hard to find in the continental States.
Coconut milk is really good in smoothies, fruit salad, making in a sauce for stir fry vegetables using coconut oil, etc.
Was just trying to think of some other things that would be filling for you.

I want to clarify that there is coconut water (the liquid inside a coconut, usually a young green coconut) that is a drink, and then there is coconut milk or coconut cream which is the flesh ground up and mixed with water and squeezed so that the cream is extracted. I never heard of anyone drinking that plain (I lived in Asia 4 years) it is something people add to their food. It is good to add to a smoothy to make it extra creamy, such as banana, coconut cream, and cocoa powder (or carob).
