How about taking Chlorella?

[yodie]

I love Green Machine. How many of these do you go through a week? Maybe this will help me enjoy the powder. I also wonder if Costco has them for a better price.

Here is the website of the juices/smoothies that I get from grocery stores. I add my Chlorella to these and it's a great treat. It's nice to know there are more that I haven't tried. They are most delicious.

Go to "our products" and choose Beverages. Also, go to "find a store" and add in your zip code to see if any of the stores near you have them.

I would have to say maybe 8-10 bottles a week. There's the 64oz Green Goodness that will last 2 days and then the others are a liter and they will last a day each. I try to add some from each bottle so that I won't run out of one that same day. I only drink them when I take CHL, which is 3x a day. I may have to train my body to take CHL once a day with a full dose.

Hi Ladies!!!!! I am finally coming out of lurk mode to join you ladies. I read the post from begining to end (talk about a long read!!!!) and I am sold. I ordered CHL from vitacost last week and it came in 2 days. I started taking it on Monday, 3 grams of CHL & 3 grams of Spirulina in a green smoothie. I had a euphoric headrush after 20 min. I don't know exactly how to explain it. It was energy and it put me in a great mood and I had a tiny green BM. I had energy throughtout the week and again the euphoric feeling. I went throughout the week bloated. I knew I had to go, but couldn't. I have been dirinking water (at least 74 oz) so I was suprised that I couldn't go. Finally Friday I had 2 small green BMs. I have had really bad gas this week. My husband told me one morning that I passed gas in my sleep and he kept trying to tuck the covers around me so the smell wouldn't get out. (sorry, TMI) I am so glad I was asleep. LOL!!!!
I don't think that I have detoxed in this week, but the energy!!!!! What made me decide to post (I was going to post after 3 weeks) was today when I was coming home from the gym, I was drinking the rest of my water and it taste like bleach (it was zephryhills). YUK!!!!
Later this evening I came home and decided to relax and poured myself a glass of wine (white merlot ) It taste awful!!!!! What am I going to do, can't drink my wine. LOL!!!
Well ladies, I am really excited to see where this journey will take me this year. I hope to receive all the possible benefits from this superfood. I would love to lose about 7-10 lbs, clarity, energy as well as hair growth. Thank you LD!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the party, Scorpimini14720. Good to have you on board. Don't worry your husband will get used to your after effects. Good thing the only being that has to smell my after effects is the cat. And compared to his stuff he won't be complaining. I can tell that CHL has effected my taste buds too because I don't enjoy chocolate the way I use to. But I don't really eat that many sweets to begin with. Enjoy the journey.

Welcome aboard and thanks for the shout out. You're on the right track to getting what you want. I'm thinking your bloating was part of your detox.

Sorry about the Merlot :alcoholic, but chlorella tells your body what's best for you and maybe that's not right now. You never know, maybe you'll incorporate it back later. In the beginning I didn't want any sweets but the other day I craved something sweet but when I started eating it, I got full quickly. It's like my mind said okay that's enough. But I still was able to eat some of it. Odd what our body needs.

You know how they say listen to your body. I used to roll my eyes at that like how? How do you know what it wants? Well with chlorella you will not miss the signs that's for sure! Your body will speak loud and clear.

Again welcome from the land of lurking!

 

[IndianAngel22]

Ok, so I've been on 6g of Chlorella. I've been takeing it sense the date in my siggy and I'm still a fartfest. I feel like this is not gonna end I've been like this sense I started no matter what amount I'm taking. I feel like it's not gonna end. I've been going on dates and I every second I'm hoping nothing's gonna come out because my stomach is always gurgling. WTF do I do?

I am sorry but I just farted laughing!!!!! I know TMI but that was funny! Clinch real tight sista.

If you're tiny or normal weight, you won't lose. I posted an article about this earlier. Chlorella just balances the body.

Being overweight causes the body to be imbalanced. Think about it when you're overweight you have HUGE higher likelihood for: Diabetes, Heart Disease, Stroke, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Fatty liver disease, Gallbladder disease, Sleep Apnea, Gout, and Cancer among a whole other host of problems. That's why I roll my eyes when people say it's okay to be overweight. Don't get me wrong I need to lose weight, but I'm not in denial. I KNOW it's bad for my body health wise. Yes you should LOVE yourself no matter what size, but you should also try to get your body in the best shape possible so that you can live the best life possible. At least that's my belief. And I have a thyroid problem so I was told by docs I'd never be able to lose it all so ha! ha! to them because I've lost almost all of it back.

I digress I got off the subject. An imbalanced body becomes balanced through taking chlorella in all ways. If your body is thin (lucky you whether metabolism or eating right), it is not needing balance in that way, chlorella will more than likely balance other "things" whatever they are in your body and cleans you of toxins.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if I should suggest my Mom try this. She's diabetic, has high blood pressure and severe allergies.

I read that someone's wine started tasting different after taking Chlorella. I wonder if I'll feel the same effect; I love beer.

Hey why not. Just make sure she knows all about it and also the detox part too.

IDK maybe it's all the junk food you're eating. I know you mentioned that earlier in the thread. Maybe it's disagreeing with you as chlorella is trying to detox the body. This is just a guess. Hope others can chime in.

 

[mariofmagdal]

IndianAngel22, your symptoms suggest effects in the digestive system. It's a good sign, continue as you are, it will pass. I haven't read all of your previous posts but minimize the junk foods as this is what your system will continue to fight in an attempt to balance you out in that area. I hope this helps.

 

[Whimsy]

OK my bottle is running low now. Is the powder really that much better than pill form? And is it really that yucky tasting? If I just mixed it in water and chugged it while holding my nose and chased w/ some orange juice would I be okay? Or do I really need to find a way to hide it in order to take it?

 

[kitamay]

Hey ladies, It is funny to hear about the gas. I have been suffering from the same symptoms for a while.lol

It's nice to know I am not alone. I do eat some junk food, but I have cut back a lot of it. I also don't eat fast food that much anymore.

Caplets / Capsules are just as good as the powder. I have read many of the experts prefer caplets/capsules because they pop them all day long and they are easy on the go. (Because this is food they can be taken this way without harm, I read many of them, the experts, are up to 70g with no problems)

mg or g? I just wanted to clarify if that was correct

 

[mariofmagdal]

Thanks for the extra eyes. You are right, it should have been grams, I corrected it.

 

[Whimsy]

Okay, thanks. So when I make my new order, I'll stick with the pills, i may get a small jar of powder to try out, and introduce my SO to it.

 

[Jaxhair]

Hey, ladies with farty/bloaty probs - are you drinking enough? Might be time to re-evaluate your diets too. Try drinking at least 2-3L of 'good' fluids daily, that may help. By 'good', I mean water, fruit/veg juices (fresh if poss, no additives), herbal teas etc and not the bubbly stuff. Also try eating more fresh fruit and veg, with the veg just lightly steamed or raw if you can tolerate raw stuff. Good luck to you all, hope you feel better soon (your poor partners/families/friends lol!).

Goodness, I can't stop popping chlor pills! I'm eating the darn things like sweets! I'm so odd I like the taste of them - just chewing them, lol! I'm not taking as much as some of you ladies because I take alot of raw greens, plus my green superfood. I don't mind eating but the cost..... this bottle cost me £15 for 300tabs. It's the way they break in my mouth and the sealike taste just bursts into life - love it! Then I take another and try eating it without breaking it - kinda like you do the polo sweets, and I end up breaking and wanting another soon after. Madness!

 

[ladytee2]

I am on my second order of SNchlorella. I am noticing a decrease in appetite. This is very unusual thing for me because I like to eat. And I do have an increase in energy.

 

[mariofmagdal]

I am looking for a good recipe book, I want to start my kids on this, they want to take the pills but I know they are not good at swallowing and I am afraid if they chew them they won't want to take them. (They do like the green drinks, but that's too expensive of an alternative) I have read that many use the powder for cooking purposes. I think this will be the best way to introduce it to the kiddos.

I plan to start them with one gram per day. They currently take 1g of MSM and a Flinstones Complete w/choline vitamin daily. They are ages 8, 7, and 5, and so health conscious.

I'm a farty monster, but my diet is great. I eat tons of salads, veggies, whole grains and lean meats/fish. I never drink soda, I just stopped liking it a few years back. I drink water throughout the day, and orange juice or milk @ breakfast/dinner. I know my diet is not to blame for the gassy erruptions
As for my SO, he thinks it's hysterical and tries to have competitions with me it's terrible but at least he thinks its amusing. I'm just glad that they're not smelly. I guess that's the chlorella factor?

 

[Scorpimini14720]

I think that the gas is mostly from the CHL but eating certain foods like broccoli & cabbage are gaseous foods so that may contribute. I think my diet has improved, I am just starting a healthy lifestyle this month so my diet is ok. I can't drink a full soda and this is just by changing my diet before CHL. Still trying to eat the fried foods in moderation (it's hard bc my husband loves his chuletas & chicharron de pollo) so cooking for the family makes it a bit difficult to keep my diet. I think week 2 I am going to pump it to 6g of CHL & stay at 3g of Spirulina. I think it is better for me to take 3g in the am and 3g in the evening.

Today marks the 1st day that I start back on Chlorella. Wish me luck everyone! I will be starting low with 3 grams a day then increase my dosage after a few weeks.

Just an update: I ran out of my chlorella on thursday and have yet to buy some. Hopefully i'll get around to purchasing more this week.

 

[mariofmagdal]

I ordered the Earthrise Spirulina Cookbook from Amazon.com.

I am looking for ways to incorportate this into my kiddies diet.

 

[jamaicalovely]

okay, joining. Like someone said above, I'm more interested in taking it to boost my immune system and aid my thyroid issues. It would be nice to see impact on my hair.

I chew the tablets too because I read its good for your gums. I don't think I would go as far to say its yummy just yet, but it certainly is not bad at all. I don't think I could chew the spirullina tabs though. I do enjoy it tough because I'm doing something good for myself.
