I've heard it's not good to use spinach every day as your greens. Is there any truth to this?

Questions, since this is such a long thread:   Is there a particular brand of B5 that people are recommending? And do you really need to complement it with a special B-vitamin complex or would a ...

Do you get an intial breakout from applying it on your skin or taking it orally?   I haven't tried it yet. My skin is 95% clear at the moment and I'd sort of like to keep it that way. >_>

i've been using acv religiously since thanksgiving and it has improved my skin tons!! (along with 50 mgs of zinc a day and vit e oil at night.)   1) i use my gentle cleanser, acv as a toner, then...

Figured I'd give it a try since I've heard so many wonderful things.   1). So theoretically could you get by with just a cleanser and ACV? If ACV is indeed acidic, I wonder if that would be a goo...

Just now. I spent 10 minutes helping an old lady walk to her bus stop (let her hold my arm for support) and then another 5 waiting with her for her bus. Reward: 'What are you doing about those spots? ...

I was at a wedding this past summer. Spotted a couple ladies talking and seemingly looking in my direction. As they walked closer one of them said something to the effect of, "Umm....maybe not." Might...

Almonds and walnuts for sure. Arguably cashews and peanuts, but to a lesser degree.

I highly recommend using olive oil/balsamic vinegar as a salad dressing. Tastes great.

If I am gaining, it's happening very slowly. My dad was very thin and had a really high metabolism when he was my age, and it looks to be the same with me. But that diet is quite calorie dense, even t...

Here's kind of an outline of my typical diet at the moment. Keep in mind it's not perfect and I'm planning to add some stuff:   Breakfast-   ~ Oatmeal with raisins and low fat milk ~ Orange ...

Yeah, I'm actually on Accutane at the moment, which is supposed to raise LDL, but due to dietary changes my LDL went from 137 to 100 in the past two months, despite 'tane. Yay. XD

I've actually heard fish oil supplements can be not so fantastic. Some studies have shown they can actually raise LDL cholesterol, contrary to popular belief. So I'd be a little wary of that.

You definitely don't need to supplement omega 6. I'm in the same boat trying to gain weight, and if your diet is anything like mine you're already getting plenty (lots of nuts, seeds, beans, grains, e...

This may already have been answered somewhere in the topic, but does anyone know if flaxseed oil works just as well as ground flaxseed?   I need to get myself a blender.

Yeah, except I eat quite a lot of walnuts for some extra calories (maybe around 3/4 cup a day), so that changes things a bit. Maybe I'll swap to almonds or something. Also might add a couple tablespoo...

Hm. That's kinda weird. According to that site, peanuts and almonds are considered anti-inflammatory and walnuts are considered inflammatory, even though the latter is the one with the most omega 3s.

Is the use of rags really essential, or could you just wash off the BP after the 10-15 minute period?   I'm on Accutane at the moment, but I'm going to be looking for a maintenance regimen once I...

So what foods contain excess amounts of the "bad" omega 6s? Because my fat content is rather high (trying to gain weight), although it's largely unsaturated fats from walnuts, peanuts, almonds, etc. P...
