I ran out of eggs erplexed so I gotta head to the grocery after work

I just got more last night, my daughter is even reminding me when I need more

 

[schipperchow1]

I ate one egg yesterday & 1 today, but took my vits. 2 eggs at one time is a lot. I may have to eat 1 in the morning & 1 at night. How's everyone else doing?

I am taking my eggs, the L-Cysteine I have yet to get. Got to get them...uuugh

Well last night I was massaging my head and noticed my hair was thicker. I mean I couldn't feel my scalp as easily as before. My mom walked through as I was massaging and noticed my hair, said it looked like it was growing.

I have eaten eggs almost everyday, I have only missed two since this challenge started (I was @ Nationals w/ my daughter, we lost though).

Last night I had her boil 6 eggs so I could just have some on hand when i was ready, and I get up this morning, and 3 are gone. Now why would they just eat my eggs, at this point its like eating the last of the cereal and leaving the empty box on top of the fridge....

Hey everyone

So I finally had enough guts to try it out. Honestly I cant eat the egg almost every day but I dont mind applying eggs and oil on my hair once a week or everyother week. I tried it last night and my hair feels wonderful. This morning it was very soft and manageable. After I rinse the egg and oil I CW. Im trying the 4 month CW. So do you t hink I will get the same result if I dont eat the egg

I dont think you will get the exact same result as others eating the eggs, because the eggs are providing high amounts of l-cysteine and whole protein to our diets , and hair, but your hair will still benefit from doing the egg treatments , as you see and felt, I think anyone can do just parts of this challenge and still see benefit no matter which parts you do. You could take the supplements and not eat the eggs if you wish, I am still only doing part of this challenge myself *slaps myself* But I am going to get to the rest , with a quickness!

girl I am still working on getting the l-cysteine too , I have such a big order to make when I order , and other stuff that I have to get that I just held off till the end of this month to place it, I should have just got it when i was going to, before I started finding other things to do with that money , but its all good I can place my order in the next couple days for real this time

I'm so glad to hear you are seeing/feeling such a difference and thats cool that others are noticing it too. Thats prolly why they ate your eggs

I hear you on that though because my daughter keeps taking my pre-boiled eggs too she can make her own but NOOOO she eats mine *hmph*

lol@ all of us saying 'HEY WHO ATE MY EGGS?"

I would like to join unofficially. I want to cut out using supplements in capsule form but use it in powder from, I take 1500 mg Amino acids from Holland and Barratt, but I am looking at taking 90% Protein Powder or Pure Soya Protein Isolate Powder. Also Nature's Plus Hair formula, can be taken in a form of a liquid, known as Nutra Glow Liquid. Nature's Plus Souce of Life Liquid has a good source of B vitamins. Pines Wheatgrass Powder. MSM in powder form. Balanced oil blend, Flaxseed and wheat germ oil over my salads and I want to go back to juicing and blending again.

 

[gorgeoushair]

If we're taking a hair vitamin, or mult, and want to take the L-cystein; do we still have to take B-50?

if your hair vitamin or multi has a all the balanced b's then no

B complex is best taken balanced, so if your getting one or two or them in different strengths you might not have enough of the others to help the others absorb and do what they do, they all need each other, thats why its highly suggested. I would never suggest just to take one of the B's alone without the rest in a balanced formula, the better multis and hair vitamins will have them in a balanced formula

so I would say it depends on whats in your multi and hair vitamin in terms of the b's

are you going to eat eggs, take l-cysteine (with the other vitamins needed) or do egg treatments?

you have a good regimen , and the protein powder kind of lines up with the challenge, but we are trying to get a lil extra l-cyteine to our hair internally/externally through eggs and supplements as well as whole protein

 

[schipperchow1]

I got home tonight & realized I hadn't eaten an egg, so I scrambled one up & ate it & took my vits. I did have a protein shake this am though. This is really helping me to be more consistent with taking my vitamins. I will try to find l-cysteine this weekend. I hope this helps me get to waist by Dec 08.
For those who are running out of eggs, I started buying the 18 pack, they seem to last a little longer.

That one is not balanced and looks like it might be missing some, not sure because its hard to read like that, dont worry if you take these and an extra B complex balanced with it too, the reason being the B's are water soluble and they will just come out in your urine, I believe you would still benefit from taking a balanced on at a seperate time from these other supplements, to make sure your getting them all balanced just to be sure you are getting the most out of them all , and they are all so good for your hair and health , its worth it to make sure your getting the best possible absorption and benefits from all the B's

see this challenge only called for extra b6 to work with the l-cysteine, but I happen to know you need them all and that hair greatly benefits from them all -so its just an added benefit if anyone adds all the balanced B's to their regimen and you are sure to see/feel the benefit!

I'm really surprised they make supplements like this without the B's balanced, its the best possible way to take them period, and taking too much of one can knock out another, this one is not balanced either. you will see on the balanced 100 or 50 almost all of them the same amounts, also the best formula besides balanced is sustained release if you can get that

I really think it would be no problem to continue to take these, but just to be sure your getting all the B's balanced and working together into your body at some point in the day, take a balanced one seperately, there are no worries because they have no toxicity, they just excrete in your urine whats not used, but in an unbalanced supplement there is a high chance many of those B's are not getting used because its lacking the other B's that work with them to absorb and it can knock out others. its always best to take a separate balanced on top of your multi or hair vitamin, I havent taken a hair vitamin in years but back when I did , I still did the extra B balanced supplement and I have been doing this for years on top of my multi

But I have to say you might be getting two much Vitamin A with taking both of these , and that could be risky because its NOT water soluble its fat soluble, it might be best for you to only temporarily take both and drop one along the line, this is why I stopped taking hair vitamins because I was getting enough of everything they had in them already seperately. But balanced B's are very important!

 

[Prettyeyes]

I am in, I already take 100mg l-Cysteine though not faithfully and I am adding the eating eggs. But I don't really like putting eggs in my hair. Could I do a protein treatment instead for the challenge or maybe aternate?

Sure you can do that! Glad to have you aboard!

 

[Prettyeyes]

Since I'm scared of too much protein I will do the egg and olive oil after two wks, then two weeks later do Aphogee, then two weeks later egg and oil then I will check my hair before doing any more.

I think the egg protein is alot less harder than the keratin in Aphogee, and only because I am completely unfamiliar with how that would work out for you, I would feel more comfortable if you were to just do the egg treatments for the challenge, or just leave them out and use the aphogee as you were already using it if it was working for you, I would be concerned too about too much protein. Aphogee seems to a harder protein treatment and I dont want you to have any mishaps with this sweetie, so maybe its best you pick which one you think/know will work for you, especially if doing it every two weeks would be something new and different for your hair. Do whatever you feel is best regarding this, just play it safe ok?

 

[Prettyeyes]

Good points. I'm going to think on it for a while before I do anything. because I am only usd to doing aphogee about 4 x's a year and eggs maybe 3x's a year. So, I don't want to overdo it, yet everyone seems to be doing well with extra proteinerplexed

with the eggs and them being a lighter protein , for only 10-15 minutes plus using it with oil, or every two weeks for 20-30 minutes as long as all other heavy proteins are eliminated while doing this should work out fine

its up to you mama!

I'm game on this challenge I will start tomorrow I will get my supplies today.
