Where is everybody? I can't believe tomorrow is April already.

here! i was working doing a sale all day. it was wonderful. super successful and i sold a bunch! i got to visit with a ton of people and i brought my items to a pagan store and community meeting place and hopefully i will be having them for sale there.

today was all around a wonderful day. now to relax for a few minutes, fix dinner and settle in for the night.

We had a busy day. Went to an Easter Egg hunt, and then down to a local town's spring stroll to look around. It was fun!

I've been on a special diet to cure candida. Anyone here do that before? Plus, I apparently react to dairy as well as gluten, so I've been avoiding those too. So right now I only eat meat and veggies, basically. Beans are a no-no, too. It could be worse, I guess. I did try Maia's cocoa crack suggestion, which helps!

Sounds similar to what I had to do to stabilize on Phase 3 of the HCG diet... No dairy, no eggs, no nuts + the no starch and no sugar that is part of the diet... And I had to eat 2000 calories each day... Yup! Challenging! Coconut oil and coconut milk where my best friends (with cocoa and stevia).

We need to start another thread just for us, then because I do want to continue this conversation! Valerie, did dairy make you gain weight on P3? Did it correct itself when you stopped eating it?

Witchy, my friend on FB is kind of paleo, and she posted a coffee that had (I kid you not) butter and coconut oil-- but blended in. It looked like it had cream in it, but it doesn't, and she and her mom both swear by it. Soon as I'm in P3 again I am going to try it! Hey, if you come by a cheap (like Goodwill) stick blender, pick it up for me and I will figure out how to get it from you next time I am up there!

Yeah, I do miss beans. Sigh.

I am going to go create the April thread just so I can go HA tomorrow morning!

If my stick blender worked, I'd just give you mine. But it basically whirs and does nothing useful. I will keep a look out for both of us.

Butter and coconut oil sounds delish, but no butter for me for awhile. I'm so sad about that.
