Thanks for the review Kathryn. :cool: I think I will skip that book. I also think I will skip the Cai Bao. I'm pretty sure I would injure myself with that. The lady in the demo is good. I'm a klutz. My mandoline has safety features all over it :o

My #1 pick would be my good knives. #2 is my VitaMix. I use both multiple times a day. I do use my dehydrator (Excalibur) and mandoline but not as often. I use the inexpensive hand slicer (oxo?) almost as often as I pull out the mandoline. I put away my juicer (I use the VitaMix to keep all...

I'm jealous! Don't forget to post a review :cool:

There's a recipe on the Gone Raw site as well. I make them sometimes. I tend to cut back on the nuts and add more veggies (carrots, celery in addition to the red bell pepper). It gives them a different consistency but still good. I tend to over-dehydrate mine and they end up...

When I first started going raw I tried all kinds of things. I have lots of un-cook books because I like cookbooks in general for inspiration. I look at various websites (Gone Raw is a favorite for recipes). Gradually I just ended up going the simple route with a complicated recipe as a...

All of the above. But I had to put in my vote for Newman's Own Lighten Up Low fat Sesame Ginger Dressing. bonus - My teenage son will eat almost anything with this on it. :cool:

Just for reference I use my GoWear Fit. I'm very overweight (working on it) so I burn higher calories than some. I do the same as the OP for the levels - walk, walk fast, jog, run fast. At most I burn about 350 calories for a bit < 1hr. And my GoWearFit favors cardio like this (vs...

I believe it's mostly alcohol. The kind you drink (there was an article about how it's the 'thing' for some kids. can't imagine drinking the stuff). So imagine if you had some sticky booze sitting around. I suppose that could take the paint off :eek:

I pity anyone that would try to take my VitaMix away from me :cool: I use it at least once per day. I put everything in it and it liquifies like nobody's business. You DO need to have liquid though with the wet blade. I don't have the dry blade. Mine's an older 5000 model, variable speed...

Their organic produce (at least here in CA) is amazing. Fantastic quality and variety. Even better than my local Farmers Market. And the prices for them really aren't too bad. They have wheatgrass in bulk and in plant form. I'm lazy so I buy the precut/skinned jicama packages. They also...

I haven't compared my GWF to a HR monitor. I think my GWF is pretty accurate. It's close to the online calculators. The GWF definitely 'favors' cardio to weights. :( I was very surprised by how few calories lifting weights uses. Although I do seem to burn more at rest after lifting. :D I...

Barbies with various hairstyles: bubble head, ponytail (if you pulled it out she had male pattern baldness lol), color-hair, etc. I never liked the bendable legs ones as well. Too hard to get the clothes on and off. Plus if you played high-dive Barbie those stiff feet stuck really well in...

I'm pretty boring and make just about the same green smoothie each morning. Depending on what I have. I like to minimize the fruit so mine is mostly veggies. The trick for me is to have a tart citrus fruit. It cuts the green taste. For me this is either a lemon or some kumquats. They work...

I think supermans and back extensions (I do them on the ball) are good for back health (I think they work the erector spinae). For the glute/hamstring work deadlift alternative I do the ball lift and roll ins. I think Cathe mentioned somewhere. Just lay on the floor with your feet on the...

Google a BMR/RMR calculator. This calculates your basic/resting metabolic rate. You should never go below it. You can then add in whatever calories you want depending on your activity level and how quickly you want to lose. I've head the deficit between calories in and calories out should be <...

I have a few that the company thought would be fine. One is for my PDA, the other is for my bluetooth headset. They indicated that if it was for a higher end device it would be ok. Seems there are some cheaper versions that don't have regulated voltage. They would not be good. You can...

I'm a steviangelist :D BUT you do have to work with it. It can be overpowering. It's very easy to use too much. I also found that I prefer some versions over others. One of the best I've found are the french vanilla flavored packets I found at Whole Foods. I also have a variety of the...

I think mine was KPC. On VHS. It's still one of my favorites. I upgraded to the DVD for the premixes :cool:

Congratulations!!! Forgot to mention that I use my PDA to track my food. I use the food average on the GWF site just for averaging. I wish it would allow me to put in the totals per day. I tried messing with it but it's more trouble that it's worth and i don't like the double entry. As as...

I wear mine clipped to the middle of my bra. If you wear tight clothing it might not work if you want it covered. But it works for me. I LOVE my display. I like getting the messages that I've reached my targets :cool: For vacation - be sure to take a mini-USB/wall charger if you want to...
