[guyanesesista]

Ladies I missed the shake this morning. I wanna drink it now but I'll won't sleep early and I need to be at a track meet in the morning. I had so much to do today I didn't have the time. I wanted to get the protein in b4 the race but Idk if it's worth losing sleep. I may just skip it and drink it in the morn. Decisions, decisions. hmmmmm...

Hello ladies! I have great news, and we are all grown ladies so this shouldn't offend any, but....................my period was lighter and shorter this month! Now ever since my cycle began when I was 13 yrs old, I ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS had the 6-day period, but something magical happened this go round. It was only 3 days, and ladies you know I was tripping and paranoid, thinking okay, should I use the max protection or just minimal. But nothing else has happened, but I can't help but still be a bit weary about it returning, but I'll know for sure by tomorrow, that was suppose to be the last day. If this shake doesn't help with anything else (which it has), I would drink just to have this happen every month.

OMGoodness, Peppers! Me too!

I didn't want to mention it because it has really only been a few days since I've been drinking the shake. But I'm use to having heavy flow on days 1 & 2 and increasingly less on days 3-5 or even 3-7! Would you believe some months there are two cycles in a 30-31 day time period! This was one of the contributing factors to the severe anemia as well. (Coupled with stairstep children and being vegetarian.)

...anyway this month days 1 & 2 were like days 4 & 5 usually are, the entire cycle only lasted 4 days. 4 DAYS! And not a peep since. I'm still dumbfounded! But I am NOT complaining whatsover. I definitely would love for this to become the norm for me.

Good for you girl.

I remember when mine literally disappeared for almost 6 months when I was on MSM. I was soooo happy but I knew that it couldn't be healthy so I stopped and that badboy came back with a vengence(sp).

 

[peppers01]

Well good for me that I still got a few days!

Girl, you are truly hilarious!!! Have Mercy, Poor Guy may need to change his route....all over a lil' bit o' chocolate....



erplexed... Well at least he won't half to worry about me for another month or two.LOL!


P.S. Here a lil conversation from later that day...

DS: Mommy?

You are hilarious...

Hey Egglets,

SHAKE UPDATE

I added (4) Rexall Naturals Cinnamon 1000 mg caplets to my shake and it is deeeelish! It's got chromium in it and promotes sugar metabolism.

Picked it up from WalMart.

So, my currrent daily regimen is:
-hair shake
-multiple glasses of fresh squeezed orange juice
-raw fruit, veggies

Supplements:
-Alpha lipoic acid 600 mg (Vitamin Shoppe)
-Hair, Skin, Nail Vitamins (Vitamin Shoppe)

-Water, green tea, dandelion tea, spearmint tea

My MIL keeps telling me how good I look. After church last Sunday, while at dinner, I caught her staring at me several times. I get so "noivis" when people stare at me, it's a wonder that I didn't drop something, trip over my feet, or do something else goofy.

You go girl!! Got folks looking at ya sideways cause your inner beauty is showing!!! Isn't it a good feeling when you know they're looking at you, you know you're looking good, but they can't figure it out??? I really like your daily regimen. You've included lots of anti-oxidants and fruit juices! Looks like you've just amped your skin, body and hair cocktail up tenfold!!!

 

[Stella B.]

Okay I have been watching this thread and I was not going to join, but since I am taking some or all of these ingredients in different formats on a regular I thought why not create it as a drink and have my DH drink it in the AM with me since we do the green drinks anyway.

So this is the only bandwagon I will jump on (she says with a straight face, yeah right!) I could use some help with my skin right now as well as energy and the hair benefits will be a bonus.

Consider me in. For those of you who are lactose intolerant have you tried the lactose free milk out there. My DH has an issue with regular milk and I finally persuaded him to try the Lactose Free milk and he as well as my son love it.

I will try using that tomorrow morning and will see what he thinks. May even make a shake for my teenage son before he goes to school in the AM.

Mscocoface jumping in with both feet and all my hair!!!!

Love it! Great to have you here joining the rest of the egglets! I have only been here since December, but I can already see positive things beginning to happen to my hair and skin. My new growth is softer, and my hair more manageable. My skin tone is beginning to even out. I can promise you that you will see changes within the first month, so take a few starting pics, and prepare to be amazed! Welcome!!

Peppers01 that is great news!

I drank my shake last night and really like the effect. I'm normally trying to eat everything in site at night (hense the weight gain). By drink the shake at night it fills me up and stops my late night snacking!

Hey Shimmie

Hey Shimmie

Good suggestion, I think I'll have another shake tonight to stop my late night snacking as well, and plus I just bought some frozen strawberries and can't wait to tey them. The funny thing though is that I know by the way I'm snacking I should be gaining weight, but I seem to be in limbo. So if I stop snacking, I should see some result on my waistline. Thanks a bunch!

 

[guyanesesista]

Just had my shake and about to leave for my meet. Peace and hairgrease.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Egglets,
What in the world am I doing WRONG!!! My shake isn't thick at all what is it, and i'm dying because I feel like I drinking straight milk(although I use soy). What could account for the thinness? Bronze you said yours is to thick at times, why i wonder is mine coming out thin. I stick to the original recipe.

Sweetie, how much soy are you using? The more soy you use, the thinner it will be...I use about a cup of soymilk and 2 -3 tblspns of wheat germ. I tried flaxseed on Monday and it was like, "blah" - it made me cocktail toooooooooo thick. I couldn't even finish it, that's the first time EVER! I don't like that at all. I prefer my cocktail a little thin. The thicker it is, the longer it takes to get that puppy down.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

When and where is it? Also I just read about the eggs cancelling out the biotin, so where do I get the powdered egss or a substitute; the grocery store?

The eggs do NOT cancel biotin. You have to ingest an extremely large amount of eggs for this to take place, like 40 eggs a day. We reported on this earlier in the thread and then again about a month ago. This is a misrepresented fact. You can still eat regular eggs if you want.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure when or where the meet-up will take place, i'll keep you posted, though.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Where my Egglettes at? Are ya'll off gettin' dolled up for the Inauguration?
I can feel that y'all are....

I'm gonna try this as well. Late night eating is challenge, too. I'm willing to try this. Thanks, Mona.

L-o-V, Girl-ie, when the MIL is eye-ing you, you know you got it goin' on. You are gonna have to get used to them looks, Chica, they will be coming more often. Girl, walk with that head up, shoulders back, there's a new Egglette in town, L-o-V is her name!! H-ell-O!

We're here Bronze!

Had two shakes yesterday. None so far today. Saving it for dinner!

{{{hugs n kisses}}} Thanks Yodie, I feel ya, babe.

I think I'll have one as a "snack." I hope this curbs that dang "nite grazing" - gotta break the habit, y'all.

 

[secretrose]

I learned from a Dr. a long time ago that dairy products
prolong congestion associated with cold and flu. Not sure of your illness but I hope you feel better soon.

I have also been experiencing a longer than usual cold/congestion since starting this shake. I use soy milk and egg protein powder. Could this contribute as well?

That's funny that this was mentioned. I had a flu bout a couple of weeks ago and I felt the cocktail helped my immune system get rid of it much more quickly than normal. Hmmm.

I do know that soymilk does not have the same effect as regular milk. The doctors recommended this for my children - it combats them having colds and congestion. I didn't know (don't think) that eggs would be a source of cold/congestion. Only cow's milk and milk by-products.

 

[PuffyBrown]

Dairy products helps with the production of mucus. This is a good thing when you are not sick. However, when you are than your body creates too much of it and it is hard to get rid of. If you consume enough fluids and drink hot broths I would think you could still continue to use the soy milk. I am no expert but I have not had the flu for over 20 years! When I get a sniffle, I consume hot beverages and teas all day and it clears me out in a day or so. Another good thing (TMI): when coughing, clearing your throat, sneezing or anything else, spit it out!

Thanks. I didn't think it would be a problem since soy milk is not a dairy product. I wasn't too sure about the egg protein powder but my colds normally last 2-4 days. It's been over 2 weeks now. I will give it up for a week to see.

 

[PuffyBrown]

It sounds to me like you need an antibiotic.
Cutting back on the products isn't going to make it
go away it just lessens the effect. See a doctor please. Love you!

Thanks for the suggestion. My SO has been telling me to give up the shake and get an antibiotic for 2 weeks but I wasn't listening. I will probably go to the doc after work but I will tell him it was his idea and not puffybrowns from lhcf, LOL.

 

[PuffyBrown]

Yall,this is so off topic.
I tried putting sunflower seeds in my shake a month ago. It was okay but I've been too lazy to add another step in the mixing process. Today, I added some sunflower seeds to my yogurt. Yummy!

 

[DDTexlaxed]

This cocktail really helped my hair grow fast. Even my nape is responding! I'm very pleased.Now I'm going to see how I can get my body in shape and bring it up a notch!

 

[ladyofvirtue]

^^^I know what you mean. Before the BC, even though my hair was just about mid-back, my nape was always super short.

Not anymore.

Bronze, that's what's crazy I even attempted to use lessI might just need to add some flaxseed to mine. I'm still drinking but I wish it was a bit thicker!!
