I did some work on the site today. Updated some links for a new recipe site and added some info on oil free products during VLCD under "Diet Info". Take a peak around, there is lots to learn from these links.

So my post for today is a dressing I made up a couple days back. I thought it was OKAY but I have been tweeking it and I think I got it to tasty.
Nutritional Yeast Dressing

1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Nutritional Yeast (55g)
1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2-6 Cloves of Garlic
10 Drops Lemon Stevia
1 Tbsp Mustard (to taste)
1/4 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum

Combine everything but the Xanthan Gum. Blend or purée until smooth. Test for taste. This is good as is but you may also want to add some herbs/spices at this point. Depending on the variation you want, you could do cumin or Italian for example. Once Smooth, slowly add the Xanthan Gum while blending. This just thickens the dressing and is also totally optional.
30g serving = ~17 calories

Nutritional Yeast was one of those things that I stumbled upon that surprisingly is REALLY good for us! Take a look around this site as it has info on storage, uses and the health benefits of Nutritional Yeast (also called Brewers Yeast).

One thing I should note: Since there is ACV in this recipe, it is advisable to rinse your mouth well after using it. A member on the HCG DIET CANADA Support group on Facebook made a great point the other day. The vinegar is very hard on the enamel of our teeth so we should avoid excessive exposure and rinse after to avoid tooth decay. I always brush my teeth after a meal anyway but it's a good reminder to not wait. 
Cheers!

Interesting....I lost 1.4 from yesterday. So I'm 195.8 right now :) I'll take it. Hopefully it doesn't just
come back. I would love to stabilize at 195! I'll stick to the rules for the steak day based on my LDW of 196.8. I can lose one more pound and still not be breaking any rules, lol. So, I think I posted this before but things tend to
get lost as the log gets longer. Here is some info on products that I used for VLCD with drops:
JASON Toothpaste
John Frieda :Sheer Blonde
Shampoo
Dove Conditioner
St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter lotion (SO
NOT ALLOWED)
Spices (Chipotle Chilli Pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic
powder, dried onion flakes, cumin, Herbes De Provence, cinnamon)
Coconut Oil
was tried once and definitely made me stall (as well as peppermint tea)

Think that's it....I have a recipe for M1ers!!
Almond Milk:
1 Cup Almonds
3-4 Cups Water
Stevia to taste (Any Flavour you
like)
pinch of salt (optional)

Soak almonds over night in enough water to cover them well (no less then 6 hours, longer is better). Drain and rinse well. In a blender combine 2 cups water with the almonds, stevia and salt. Mix until smooth. Add 1-2 cups more water. You can leave it like this for a heartier drink or you can strain it with a cheese clothe. If you strain it you can use the left over almond pulp for baking. You can even turn it into almond flour! Either dry it in the oven or use a dehydrator. Cool hey! So, I guess the almond milk has a short shelf life and should never be left out. Last about 3 days in the fridge. If you forget it out, dump it and make some more fresh. As far as I can tell, 8oz = ~40-60 calories. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. This recipe can be varied up, using ice and fruits, vanilla, use your imagination here!! I also watched a guy make a form of "ice cream" with this! He used frozen Bananas which we can't have yet, but I bet we can do it with frozen blue berries or the like.
