How Healthy Are Dried Fruits? ?I love dried fruits. I went to Fairway today and bought a container of dried strawberries, dried cherries, raisins, dried apricots, dried french peaches, prunes, Raw cashews, Raw Almonds and dried peas.

They say Organic on them and on almost all of them the ingredients only say the fruit and sulfur dioxide as an preservative. and others just say the ingredients are the fruit and NOTHING else.

Lunch Ideas Using Some Or All Of These Ingredients?I always have these things at home but rarely use them or i make the same things over over with them i am looking for some new healthy lunch ideas. Also my nutritionist wants me to eat at lunch about 100g of pproteinfood (150g if its from legumes) 1 serve of a starchy food eg: bread, rice, potato, carrots then as much low cal veggies as I like. I am also allowed 1 tbsp of healthy fat like avocado or olive oil. If this could be incorporated into the lunch ideas that would be great. I usually always have the following: Broccoli Green Beans White beans (canned) 5 Bean mix (canned) Tuna packed in spring water salmon packed in spring water Chick peas hummus Chicken breast Carrots Canned corn Avocados Raw Organic nuts (macadamias, Almonds walnuts) Cous cous, barley, rice (both brown low gi doongara) Cucumbers Peppers Tomatoes (cherry tomatoes vine ripened roma tomatoes) Assorted fancy lettuces It doesn't matter if some of the ingredients aren't on this list, just try to use 2 or 3 that are. Thanks everyone [ Read More ]

Why Did I Throw Up At 4am?All I had yesterday was 4 peices of whole grain toast with almond butter, handfull of Raw peanuts, Organic strawberry yogurt, 1cup whole grain macaroni with tomatoe juice (tomatoe juice is made from just tomatoes no additives) and i also had half a honeydew melon, and some blueberries, what could of caused me to throw up? I always eat healthy and this just seems weird. Do you think it was because I had protien and carbs in the same meal (almnd butter sandwhiches)? I heard this was bad for digestion but I've always had almond butter sandwhiches and felt fine, was it because I developed a food allergy from the almond butter? I mean, I eat it almost veryday could this be possible?...so many things to consider [ Read More ]
