[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Thanks so much BlaqueAngel!
Glad to help LadyS~
ShortyC~ Good hearing from you! And i'm gonna try my half'n'half cocktail this week. I'm a big girl now!

This is THE best thread on LHCF!! The Best!

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

I bought my carrot juice, i may try it on tomorrow...1/2 cup of soy and half carrot...or half water and half carrot...3 tblspns of wheat germ.

Don't sleep on the wheat germ...i just read this causes SERIOUS hair growth and thickening. I was gonna skimp on it, but i was led (Thanks HolySpirit) to go back to the book and look it up... Crenshaw used 3 tblspns per day to recover from a bad hair cut. Additionally, i'm using 1 tblpsn of lecithin (liquid) as well.

Just thought i'd keep you guys informed on the latest.

I took the shake

Instead of fruit I used a fruit smoothie I bought, but I really couldnt taste it. I forgot that soy milk makes my tongue itch so I wont be using it after I finish the carton. So far I feel okay, I'm laying low, but I need to experiment with some things to make the shake taste better. If I dread it, I wont stick to it.

 

[trinigul]

was late for church so it was 2 eggs in a glass this morning. hey, but i didn't forget to put the wheatgerm oil on my skin though...does that count? it makes my skin so soft and sun-kissed looking. I put a few drops in my hand with some Vaseline Intensive care lotion. i'll try to make a real shake later.

waiting for my books . in the meantime, so glad to glean wisdom for here. will up the wheatgerm.

my nails are purrrty! hair to come.

WOW! Over 4,000 posts in this thread.

Someone mentioned new growth texture a few posts back. Since I've been on the cocktail I've noticed a great deal of thickness in my new growth. I wouldn't describe it as rough or course. It's actually pretty soft. My strands feel stronger, too. And of course my nails have really grown. I have to trim them every week or they get caught in my keyboard while I'm typing. My energy is through the roof. If I miss the cocktail for a few days I start to feel a little sluggish.

I haven't cocktailed it in a couple days. I ran out of eggs and fruit. I'll have to stop by the grocery store tomorrow. This week I'll be adding mango and banana.

 

[shortycocoa]

Br*nze you are right on time with the info about the extra wheat germ. Just the other day I was wondering if I should step it up with the wheat germ some. I am due for a trip to the grocery store so I will be getting more eggs so I can keep cocktailing.

 

[Stella B.]

Just checking in. I'm sitting here sipping on my cocktail right about now. It gets better each time, seems like my body knows when it's time for one. I get a little craving going on.. Happy cocktailing today, egglettes-drink up!

 

[ladysaraii]

Day 2. I failed.

tomorrow I'll try again with real milk (2%) and some actual fruit. I couldn't get through it today, the taste and the tongue itching got to me.

Or maybe I can try some chocolate powder for flavor as well.

ETA: Question on supplements. Are there any vits that i shouldnt take while I'm on this? I stopped taking HSN pills b/c someone upthread mentioned egg has biotin.

 

[Blaque*Angel]

glad you joined the thread LANGT after all those PM's you WONT regret it!

 

[Blaque*Angel]

mini update:

my BC is really growing well...
My hair is softer and shiny
(i slack on my regime, and sometimes keep my hair covered for days)
but it STILL feels soft and moisturised

I will take pics the 1st of every month and will probably do a 6 month comparision very soon, my skin gets prettier and prettier each day!

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Thanks for posting, Chicas.

I tried 2 oz of carrot juice, 1/2 cup of soy and 1/2 cup of water...i missed the thick consistency of my cocktail...so i dunno. It tasted o-kay, but the consistency was problematic.

We'll see how this goes...i may have another recipe come tomorrow...

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

You didn't fail, LadyS~ You just haven't found your right mix, it's trial and error until you get it right, that's all. I wouldn't do soy if I itched, either. Try it with regular milk, you must be allergic to soy to have that reaction, so don't push it, try something else. No pressure. You have to go with what works for you. I'm sure when you find it, it will work just as well.

I take the supplements mentioned on page 1. I haven't adjusted my supplements - i think they complement the cocktail *shrugs*. I posted about Biotin earlier, I let that go bcs of the breakouts...if it weren't for that, i'd still take it. I was a big biotin fan, and now, my skin can't handle it, so i had to adjust.

Thanks for the comments/questions ladies, keep 'em coming!

I spent about a half an hour reviewing this thread yesterday, and afterwards I darted to the grocery store to pick up my supplies. As soon as I came back, I made one. I have never drank raw eggs before, but it is pretty tasteless! Let's grow on ladies.

[Okay]

hi egglettes

yeah cant wait !!

im just worried that i will be dissapointed.. how long till you saw results?

my hair is very damaged and i havent noticed growth in a while
so im hoping my hair will grow to da roof!

so excited

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

^You will not be disappointed...i believe really damaged hair gets the best results...you will definitely be able to see the benefits - relatively quickly...give yourself 3 months, though the book says 6. In all actuality, you'll see them in one. Your new growth will be different.

 

[Okay]

the texture or thicker?
i would love to have looser texture

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Both texture and thickness.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

No cocktail this am, woke up late...

 

[GodsPromises]

Hi all,

I have been reading this thread and I am thinking about trying this. I'm not doing this for the hair as much as I need a drink to take for breakfast. I hate eating in the morning and this sounds like a good drink to use as a meal replacement. My one concern that I have been reading is the weigh gain. I am trying to lose weight not gain but I also know that I need the protein. The hair is truly a plus.

For right now I will be mixing one egg, 2% milk, and some fruit. This weekend I will get the wheat gram and I will try to find the wheat gram oil. Am I leaving any thing out. I want to do this every morning and then at least 3 times a week at night after I exercise. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Hi GodsPromises!!
If you're thinking about drinking the vitamin cocktail in the mornings, I can't think of a better way to start your day! You will have increased energy, and you'll have all day for the drink to get into your system to do your body good! Your recipe sounds right on target. Each ingredient in the original recipe posted here is important, including the wheat germ ,and the wheat germ oil. Just try not to eat or drink anything after for an hour or two; you'll want the drink to absorb quickly into the digestive system. Sounds like you've got a yummy plan with all the right ingredients, and you're good to go! Enjoy!

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Great advice, Stella!

Not even drink water?

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

I drink water, so I think that should be okay...oh well, if it isn't. LOL!

I got my cocktail on, how 'bout you?

 

[lillylovely]

Hi all

This is the first time I have posted in this thread. Just to let you all know that I have been taking the egg shake every morning before I go to work since the end of August. I have always had fine, weak 3c/4a hair or so I thought - but now (6 weeks later) my hair is looking and feeling so thick it looks like 4b hair for the first time in my life and I am so pleased. I used to take O***** to get thick, long hair but the health benefits and price tag benefits were zero compared to the shake. My shake consists of:

1/2 cup of rice milk or oat milk
1 raw organic egg
3 tbs of raw wheat germ
handful of omega seed mix - includes flaxseed, sunflower seed etc
1 tbs of chlorella (see the thread if you want to know more)
1/2 organic apple/pear/peach etc (don't forget to add the pips)
1/2 organic banana (for taste)
2 tsp of lecithin (to keep weight off)

I blend for about 20 seconds max. The only other vitamin I take is spirulina tablets throughout the day. Thanks bronze bombshell for starting this thread, just going back to reading the rest of the thread now...

 

[LoveCraze]

Still shaking here. I also wanted to chime in to say that I too have noticed great changes with my nails. I don't have a problem with growing out my nails but I do have a problem keeping them. After a certain length they seem to want to split on the side near the cuticle from being inadvertently bent. But I have not had this problem hardly at all since doing the shakes. My nails are definitely stronger and steadily growing. In fact I probably need to trim them soon. But I love it. Not really sure of the results with my hair just yet. I'm still transitioning so the growth is obviously there.

My husband asked if I was worried I might get the bird flu from the eggs. erplexedLOL I'm like no! I'm not worried about getting it from eating chicken either.
Anyway keep up the great work Egglets.
I'm glad to be apart of the TEAM!:woohoo:

Alright, I was reading this thread thinking "maybe," but you might have pushed me onto the bandwagon.

I really *do* have fine, weak 3c hair and I believe that a lot of the hair I lose detangling is not shed hair. My mother has thinning hair, her mother does, my paternal grandma did, and all the men on both sides of my family do...so I have a genetic recipe for thinning hair disaster.

Mommy swears that I used to have thick hair as a child, but I honestly think that's just idealized memory/perception.

Anyway, I don't care if my hair stays at its current length (just below shoulder since I chopped the ends) forever...but i long for hair that will cover all my darn scalp.

My only question is:

I eat animal protein every day: eggs, turkey, chicken, pork, and dairy-galore! Why would this little extra bit of protein make the big change? Just because the one egg is raw? If I've had thin and thinning hair over my many years of protein-heavy diet (including two years on strict Atkins a while back), why would this shake make the difference?

Thank you for this thread!
