PuffyBrown I'm glad you found something you like.

Br*nzeb if you really want to hear something big Mary Ann (the author) gives a formular for weight loss that allowed her to lose 12 pounds in just 2 weeks (that is not a typo). Here's what she did:

• B Complex
• B6 (50 mg)
• ACV (1 tsp in water after every meal)
• Kelp (5 - 6 tablets after every meal)
• Low cal diet (1000 daily)

I'm gonna tried it but I will up my calories. I will admit the drink helps with the appetite but I'm not willing to go that low right now.

That's funny. I happened to pick up some Kelp (whole leaves) from the store yesterday. I plan to make soup or snacks with it.

I'm making Miso soup sometime this week, but using another type of sea weed.

 

[MonaRae]

So I'm starting the Mary Ann's weight loss program today and when I counted up the calories in the coctail I get 420! Now you know I will be getting more than 1000 on her plan!

Here's the breakdown:

8 oz Almond Milk - 60 calories
Large Raw Egg - 70 calories
1 tbsp Molasses - 60 calories
1 tbsp Wheat Germ Oil - 130 calories
2 tbps Raw Wheat Germ - 50 calories
1 tbps Lecithin granules - 50 calories

Hey ladies! So Im in on this challenge. I couldnt find wheat germ oil, so I said to heck with it. Here's what I use in my shake: 2 TBS of wheat germ, 3/4 cup vanilla soy milk, 1 organic egg, piece of fruit and 1 TBS of lecithin . I hope this works because this shake is 8 points!! Im on weight watchers and I only get 26 pts a day! LOL By the way this is day 2.

Wonderful! Welcome! I bought my wheat germ oil online-it's Viobin, at VitaminShoppe, very reasonably priced, too....so you'll be thin with long, thick hair, huh? Sounds like a good combination .

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Hey Ladies, my newgrowth is feeling very, uh - distinct. My waves/curls are poppin' and it feels hmm, moister? Any other observations?

How much was it? Will it make that much of a difference in the benefits of the shake?

 

[MonaRae]

Br*nzeb I notice the same thing just the other day. My ng is volient!

 

[strawbearysweet]

Ok so I tried this. I bought a dozen organic brown eggs and that's it. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to pick up anything else.

Let me just say, the actual thought of doing this when I first read the post was vomit inducing. But after reading up on the health benefits I figured what the hay. I'm into the all natural thing anyway.

So, since I was being lazy I decided to chug the dern egg plain...no yummy additives. I held the cup for a few mins., smelled it and, then took the plunge. So the first try was the practice egg and it went straight down the sink in .0003 seconds. The second try was much better and I didn't taste a dern thing!!! It was all in my head. I did this two days in a row, fell off the wagon, and now I think I lost the wagon for good.

Maybe I will try the shake next time but I wanted to tell you girls that I am pulling for you! HHG

 

[cinnarose]

wow that book seems interesting...I might try that shake out. What does the book recommend for weightloss?

My thoughts exactly! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to try it, but I'm curious to know about tips for weight loss too!

 

[MonaRae]

Very brave strawbearysweet! Very brave!

this post was funny~


OK after reading 30 some odd pages of this thread I am wondering can you just drink the egg and the milk or do you have to add the Wheat stuff to get the benifits

 

[PuffyBrown]

Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll

Did you get that other book yet?

 

[MonaRae]

lol! I'm waiting for her to get the book too. I tried to order it but got hung up.

 

[SweetNic_JA]

All of a sudden I have a ton of new growth. I'm telling you, if I ever collapse or bump my head, my head will be cushioned by all this NG. Seriously this stuff is working + I'm finally on BIOTIN! who hoo! I am also using the MN. I'm on a serious health + hair kick. I'm getting this baby back on track.

I'm so glad I found out about the reduced Biotinidase activity caused by Accutane.
I can finally get my hair back.

 

[Clazz E 2]

I have yet to mix the drink with Wheatgerm..... I will, but I'm sure i'm getting some benefits.....My skin is glowin'

 

[MonaRae]

SweetNic_JA what's Biotinidase activity caused by Accutane?

 

[Jakibro]

Hello Ladies,I ordered my book the same week this thread started and had been reading it on and off when i had the time.I love the posts and everyone's enthusiam.I love this book,But i recommend you start at the beginning,there is so much information and it's so informative.Anyway,I wanted to share a couple of things with you,Puritans pride is having a nice sale bogo or buy2 get 2 sale on vitamins, they have the sea kelp,B-6,and whatever else you might need.Also,I have been contemplating where i was going to get my wheat germ and oil from,what would be most economical,Well today someone on one of my freebie boards posted a 5.00 code for iherb.com,I got my 16 oz wheat germ oil, raw wheat germ, and free box of 24 ct green tea bags for 8.63! Much less than what i would've spent in the health food store.So I'm passing on the code they gave me to pass out after my order,also check the free section they have a weight loss book amongst other things.The code is RUZ987,shipping is only 1.99 for the next 4 days. I can't wait to get started.I'll be ordering my kelp and b6 from puritans pride....Happy hair growth and health! Lynette

 

[SweetNic_JA]

SweetNic_JA what's Biotinidase activity caused by Accutane?

Here is the most unscientific explanation I can find.

Biotinidase is a human enzyme that is produced according to the instructions of the BTD gene. This enzyme allows the body to use and to recycle the B vitamin biotin, sometimes called vitamin H. Biotinidase removes biotin from food because the body needs biotin in its free, unattached form. This enzyme also recycles biotin from enzymes in the body that use it as a helper component in order to function. These enzymes, known as carboxylases, are important in the processing of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Biotin is attached to these carboxylase enzymes through an amino acid (the building material of proteins) called lysine, forming a complex called biocytin. Biotinidase removes biotin from biocytin and makes it available to be reused by other enzymes.

Accutane reduces the biotinidase enzyme's activity, therefore limiting the body from breaking the covalently bonded biotin from other proteins. Biotin is key for hair, nails and skin, and with less of it available for the body's use, the quality, health, moisture, thickness of the hair, skin, and nails is degraded.

A reduction in biotinidase activity can cause alopecia, eczema, and other more serious conditions. There is also a genetic condition called biotinidase deficiency - which affects babies and can lead to seizures, severe skin rashes, eczema - just to name a few.

Thanks Jakibro!!

I got a bit crazy and just ordered raw wheat germ,wheat germ oil, brewers yeast powder, lecithin granules, protein powder, aloe vera gel, and sea kelp tablets, it came to 50 w/shipping, not bad....sigh...some people have bag addictions, I go crazy over supplements and health food!

 

[Jakibro]

I know, I try to keep my PJ On lockdown,It isn't easy! LOL, Did you get the 5.00 off and the free stuff from iherb.com or you did puritans pride? Make sure you join the puritans club thing they have,for every order you build up lifetime points or something like that and they will send you a 10.00 gift certificate to use later.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

What's up, my Cocktail Sweeties~

Okay, I'm calm...I missed you guys, so much activity since i haven't checked in....where to start...?

How much was it? Will it make that much of a difference in the benefits of the shake?

Yep, it'll make a difference. don't omit it. It was $15 bucks for 32 oz Viobin Wheat Germ Oil, at VitaminShoppe, I'm mad, though, because they sent liquid lecithin and not wheatgerm oil *grrrrooowwwlllll* so they are rushing it..i am not impressed - that was my first and last order from them -maybe , I didn't like the oil residue on liquid lecithin bottle, either...eeeww.

Br*nzeb I notice the same thing just the other day. My ng is volient!

That's an eggcellent way of putting it! Fierce newgrowth. Fierce! BAMMMM!!!!

Strawbearysweet~Thanks for routing for us! Girl you are toooo brave, even I wouldn't drink that thing straight-up...uh uh, no way....can we say yick? I feel you joining us anytime now...anytime..

My thoughts exactly! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to try it, but I'm curious to know about tips for weight loss too!

Weight loss tips are atkins and kelp, lecithin, b-6 and apple cider vinegar...there are a few posts on this, and puritan's pride sells KB-6 which is all the ingredients in one...i'm gonna get that one, unless i go with Jakibro's info with iherb...i'll probably order from both...She has alot of stuff in that book, you gotta read it...you gotta get it! You'll be hooked.

Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll

Did you get that other book yet?

Girl, NO! I am soo tired of looking for that darned book, it should have come on the 22nd. Oooh, waiting for the postman is an exercise in patience.

lol! I'm waiting for her to get the book too. I tried to order it but got hung up.

You know i'll be up posting at 3 am on the findings of this book....my hubbie is getting a lil' bit jealous...anyone else experience this? My kids are like, "aww man, it's hair stuff again..." I'm like "don't you all have a house to clean and homework to finish?" they are 9 and 6 . They can work!

 

[Jakibro]

I have to agree the book is addicting! I read it every night before i go to bed,looking at the clock! She wrote it like she is actually having a converstion with you!

 

[CurlyGirly327]

Thanks Jakibro!

I just ordered 3 bags of raw wheat germ and 2 bottles of raw wheat germ oil, and with shipping it only came to $21.42! If anyone else wants to take advantage of these great prices, you can use the discount code JAD140.

I'm planning to fast for 3 days starting tomorrow, then start drinking this "hair cocktail" every morning starting November 1st. My plan is to use it for at least 3 months, but the first month will be a test drive. I'll be adding vitamin supplements on November 7th, after I get paid and have money to stock up. The beginnings of a personal challenge are forming...

 

[Jakibro]

You're so welcome, anywhere we can save a penny or two is a good thing.Puritans pride is buy 2 get 3 free! I just need to get my vitamins and my apple cider,Braggs is a good one from what i hear,then i'll be on board!

 

[PuffyBrown]

oh.
you should try again. I am still looking..

lol! I'm waiting for her to get the book too. I tried to order it but got hung up.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

keep trying,ladies, diligence is a virtue~

 

[Prettyeyes]

THIS IS REALLY GOING WELL. BEST WISHES!

 

[SilverSurfer]

Ok, so I have been taking this drink straight, just the raw organic egg mixed in some carnation milk and it goes down smooth and quick with no problems and I have no stomach problems afterwards. So I finally wanted to try it the right way I guess so I ordered ground wheat germ, ground flax seed and ground brewers yeast. I mixed in a blender, a tablespoon of each into my blender with one raw organic egg and some carnation milk and poured it almost full into an 8 oz glass . I started drinking it but the wheat germ and the brewers yeast taste so nasty and made the mix kinda of grainy so I didn't like the texture nor the taste. Took me about 8 gulps to drink that mix down and with each swallow I felt like I wanted to vomit. Then immediately after drinking it, my stomach begins to ache and grumble really bad and it's been like that all day.
I know I am not going to do this mix again. I think I'll just stick to the simple route of just swallowing the raw egg alone or either the raw egg mixed with milk, gulp it down in one swallow and go.
That ground brewers yeast and wheat germ is nasty but the ground flax seed is okay.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Sorry chichistar, but brewer's yeast is like, "yuck" and raw wheat germ ain't no picnic. i've been taking toasted wheat germ found on cereal aisle in grocery stores, i have taken take raw wheat germ and just placed an order so i'll start it again..., the taste grows on you and you need to blend it- with a blender . just mixing it all together just doesn't do it justice, ya know?. Brewer's yeast is sooo bitter, i've heard flax is do-able. So, try it with toasted wheat germ and your milk and egg, throw in wheat germ oil and some fruit (or sugar-free chocolate syrup or strawberry syrup), and i'm tellin' ya, you'll taste the difference, yes you will! if you can drink just egg and carnation milk, trust, this mix will work for you... Br*nze would not steer you wrong, Uh uh, no way, I would not. . also, you had a lot of fiber in that mix you put together...flax, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, milk, so that will explain the stomach turmoil erplexed. omit the flax and brewer's yeast for now and your stomach should calm down big time.

Thanks for the suggestions Br*nze. I made the correction that I did in fact mix it in the blender. My stomach feels horrible so I am going to lay off of it for a few days then i might try your suggestion with the wheat germ oil and the sugar free strawberry syrup.
