@Milk-Destroyer said in Phytoestrogen: Do you use raw leaves? Yes but I vary. I give examples for 2 kinds of use: Smoothie: often with 50 g of lamb lettuce (mâche in French). Interesting for the velvety taste + the brassicae family (detox). From time to time, I vary with small raw spinach leaves. 2 big handfuls of leaves mashed potato with frozen spinach or small broccoli flowers. Once a week for each (2x portions). I add one onion, lightly fried in coco oil + 1 or 2 tsp butter and 1 egg.

@MuleMan good question. Don’t know but after all they are a result of cooking and cooling at certain stages of production. And that seems to be a no-no insofar that it results in increased resistant fiber. If it doesn’t cause issues for people I guess it would be ok, although too much resistant fiber isn’t great for anyone. I enjoy bob s red mill brand. Tastes good, dissolves well, and has no additives. Seems they use better quality potatoes than other brands I’ve tried.

@herayclitus I would just ask. In many Asian or Mexican stores there's a butcher that prepares the meat. You can ask them for the thyroid. I often ask for parts of meat that they don't use for my dog and it's never an issue. Standard supermarkets will never give it to you, they follow the rules.

I live in Thailand and I found multiple scources. This is one of them I am considering the most currently: https://shop.villamarket.com/product/239286

@gg12 Sweet potatoes with maple syrup is one of my favorites too! Have you tried it with coconut milk? So delicious

@CO3 Replying in general - - the Peaty ice cream recipe worked really well for me. It has a smooth texture following the instruction closely, and goes well with fruit. The eggs make it like a custard, but obviously with a coconut flavor. The only problem is I'm wanting to reduce fat intake, so I won't be making it again for a while. I made a Peaty hot chocolate, I'd be interested to hear opinions on vitamin / nutrient groups involved. 1 or 2 cups whole milk 2 squares 70+% dark chocolate 2 tbsp honey 1 tsp cinnamon or other spices 1 packet (7g) gelatin (bloom in cold milk) Texture is velvety and smooth. Good for night-time warmth/sleep. I'd rather make a Jell-O or broth/sauce for regular gelatin intake, but this is decent.

@Corngold guffanti from italy makes some good cheese. saffron and peppercorn sheep cheese, their truffle, and blue is good too.

Pre-packaged fruit cups in syrup/juice Applesauce squeeze pouches Ruger wafers (fat is coconut oil and palm kernel oil) Honey Crisp cereal Bugels Oriental Corn Chips (have to check label but a lot of them are made with coconut oil and/or palm kernel oil.) Naked Juice smoothies Microwaved/Pre-Popped Popcorn (check label to see if coconut oil, palm kernel oil, or butter. e.g. LesserEvil Himalayan Pink Salt Organic Popcorn) Reay-to-drink coconut water that has added sugar (or I mix with other juices). My daily go-to combo at work is Naked Juice Smoothie and Ruger wafers/Bugels from the cafe. At home, it tends to be coconut water, fruit cups and applesauce squeeze pouches.

@wrl I'm not familiar with that aspect of TCM, but glad to know that as I usually have milk taken separate from other foods. It's widely held that Chinese are lactose-intolerant but it may just apply to Southern Chinese but I wouldn't know until I get to travel in China like I scoured the US.

@swordzonmyback Blend your egg shells in a coffee grinder into a fine powder, cheap calcium supplement.

@asterbolic it isn't drained cabbage then . I would just enter it as raw weight in chronometer

@sneedful

@Tarzan17 I know a lot of people say starch interferes with sleep but for me if I eat some potatoes at night I feel full and sleep well I also like eating chunks of raw cheese or dried fruit though

@CO3 cheers
