That is so very true, Isa!

Thank YOU!

U are soooooooooooooooooo welcome...... ärmel-die ärmel......

Poly and Lola,

Thanks for all of the encouragement!, i definitely could use it right now!!!.


Lola,

You mentioned chicory root as a good coffee substitute.  What form do i buy it in?.  Meaning does it come in a tea or do you buy the root itself and make into a coffee?.  I'm thinking that if i could just find a suitable substitute for coffee that would help me get off the real stuff.

Thanks Again!  
Mickey

mickey,
I once found an instant 100% chicory coffee powder.......
did n t buy , wasn t too confident about the 'instant' part.)

I m sure you can find that everywhere.......

or try dehydrating chicory root, and grinding it into coffee (a flour type consistency)
then brewing it as if it were coffee.
just a suggestion.....

OK, I'm reviving my old thread because I just discovered something new:

Pimples.

No, pimples are not a new discovery, I know, but listen anyway: I never had a lot of them as a teenager - a little on the shoulders and upper back, not a real problem - but as an adult I get one or two pimples ON MY NOSE when my period approaches. Sometimes also when I ovulate. So it's obviously hormonal.

Just yesterday morning I looked in the bathroom mirror and greeted myself: Hey Rudolf!!!

And you know what I realized?? That's the first pimple I've had since I started this way of life! And why? Yes, you guessed it: I've been SO bad with my diet during the whole summer: One avoid after the other.

So again a backwards testimonial: On BTD I enjoy having a clear skin. Just didn't notice it before it was gone...

The good part: I know it'll come back soon after cleaning up my diet again!

I know what you mean Poly.  I used to have breakouts/pimples on my chest, shoulders and back, as well as my chin and forehead.  When I started on the BTD, they disappeared!!  (I now have great skin tone and texture.)  They only come back when I'm eating a no-no.
