Everyone must remember that being healthy must come first and <a href="http://linda-rd.com/counseling/weight-loss" rel="nofollow">weight loss and looking good</a> will just follow. If you think about it, half a cup of castor oil? She makes it sound like an everyday beverage. Surely, there are other healthier and tastier option. Remember, nothing beats healthy eating and proper exercising.concerned dietitianhttp://linda-rd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1161145992070861069.post-7645899393328693592009-01-12T12:18:00.001-05:002009-01-12T12:18:00.001-05:00I busted out laughing when I read the castor oil s...I busted out laughing when I read the castor oil suggestion.

I used agave instead of maple syrup. Didn't last 5 days, it was that awful. <BR/>Increasing and changing my exercise routine along with calorie/nutrition counting works much better.Deb Schiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930921557637227921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1161145992070861069.post-71710166731943398622009-01-11T18:57:00.000-05:002009-01-11T18:57:00.000-05:00Dennise,I don't understand why gluten gets so much...Dennise,<BR/><BR/>I don't understand why gluten gets so much hate, either. Wheat protein should only be a concern for people with celiac disease, as you mention.<BR/><BR/>I have tried Amy's products and enjoy some of them. Although there are some exceptions, they all tend to be a good source of fiber and whole grains and relatively low in saturated fat.<BR/><BR/>Some varieties are high in sodium, but their lower-in-sodium product line continues to grow. I particularly enjoy their lower-in-sodium lentil soup.<BR/><BR/>Since the term "processed" can technically apply to a slice of whole grain bread, pasteurized milk, Doritos, and ready-to-eat baby carrots, it's silly to use that as criteria for any diet.<BR/><BR/>I find it much more reasonable to instead recommend "minimally processed foods." For example, baby carrots are simply peeled and cut. That is much less processing than what is required to make a Twinkie.Andy Bellattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994079922078627050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1161145992070861069.post-38882632815674247902009-01-11T14:06:00.000-05:002009-01-11T14:06:00.000-05:00Excellent post, Andy.

This information is so crucial to have out there...the fact that young women are reading the crap posted by these celebs as something to aspire to is frightening. And what the heck is wrong with gluten? Most people do not have celiac disease, and yet more than one celeb has come out banning gluten as though it is an enemy.<BR/><BR/>Another question: I oftentimes use Amy's soups and other products from this company, as a whole host of them are vegan. I see the sodium content is oftentimes high, but other than that, they seem pretty healthy and tasty! Have you tried them?<BR/><BR/>And what exactly is the definition of a "processed food"? I mean, it isn't as though I could buy unprocessed almond milk, right?<BR/><BR/>Thanks. DenniseT O'Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729242236198683931noreply@blogger.com
