Gard diet discoveries

[POSITIVEPERSON]

I am following the Gard diet and to my dismay found soy in canned tuna and tomatoe
sauce. Not all tuna and tomatoe sauce have soy . The ones that don't cost double for me it was worth it to buy tuna steaks fresh wild caught on sale .

Just a warning to double check all the cans you buy,if your following the GARD diet!!!!

Yeah, I'm sure the more you gravitate to using only fresh foods and preparing everything yourself, the better off you are going to be (whether following the GARD or not). Processed foods always seem to have something nasty in them.

my mother and I were discussing the same thing today about processed foods... ( pot pie scare)

don't forget to read multivitamin labels too i went to the clinic to buy mine because i kept getting ones that have soy and such and other binding agents that are not good for you

Yeah following the Gard diet is a little tough. But it's well worth it. Well I don't have to travel the entire store to shop anymore. I only need to go to a few sections:

Produce
Seafood
Deli / Meats
Organic

But it still takes just as long to shop, because I have to read the labels more carefully.

The Gard diet is sure worth the extra time it takes

Ideas ? ! ?

Question:

Would it just be easier to remember
the Brand you purchased before
to save you the trouble and time of
having to read the labels all over
again? By just writing it all down?

Some of the Brand Names have their
own websites where you can read
up on it right there at the websites
before even hitting up at your local
grocery store.

In addition:

Here's some ideas:

3 Egg Cartons (empty of course)

In First carton poke 3 holes in
bottom (using an awl - be careful
very sharp, or a pointed tip of knife
and a tiny slight twist)

Second carton - poke 3 holes in
bottom (using an awl - be careful
very sharp, or a pointed tip of knife
and a tiny slight twist) and then
put tiny rocks in them - aquarium
rocks will do just fine

Third carton leave empty, water
will rest here

Some people like to decorate the
Outside of the third carton like
spray painting, or wall painting or
being creative to look nice in kitchen
window

Place third carton on bottom
then place second carton with rocks
on top of the third carton, and then
place the first carton on top:

Now, fill first carton approximately
3/4th with potting soil, around the
rims, pack the edges with aquarium
rocks (it keeps the soil from running
over)

Plant your favorite Herb Seeds:

Example:

Chives
Basil
Peppermint
Oregano


You can clip what you need,
fresh, every day, cooking or
salad.

Works great with at least 1/2 day
Sun or if you have SHEER curtains
that's wonderful for these plants.
Too much light will actually kill them.


I always water my plants with
Miracle-Gro & Water and do not
"oversoak" - the tray on the bottom
is your "water catcher".

1st week - water every day,
and wait 2 hours and drain the
bottom tray (KEEP IN A DARK PLACE
FOR THE FIRST WEEK)

2nd week - water every other day,
but drain the water the other day.
(example water Monday, drain Tuesday,
water Weds, drain Thurs, etc)

3rd week - you should start to see
them sprout continue to follow
the 2nd week pattern.

4th week. Water in the morning ,
wait 1/2 hour, and then drain the
bottom tray. Do not worry if the soil
appears or feels "dry". Do this every
other day.

You do not want Root Rot or Soggy
Soil!

Hope this helps especially for Apartment
Dwellers and Tight Spaces!

You know - We should have a "BRAND NAME
THREAD"

:idea:

:?:

Maybe put beside it for those on what
diet they are on? Or is that asking too
much?
