Pickled Rock Samphire
- Freshly picked rock samphire
- Wine or sherry vinegar
You'll also need a small glass jar.
Known as Motar in the Dalmatian dialect spoken on Vis, rock samphire grows in little pale green clumps between rocks along the shoreline and has a robust texture and slightly pine-y flavour. It's easy to harvest, just find a plant that is yet to flower and pick the smaller stems and tips either by hand or with a pair of scissors. Give these a quick rinse in the sea, then boil in a mixture of water and vinegar (approx. 70% water to 30% vinegar) for around 10-15 minutes, until tender. Once cooked, drain in a colander and immediately plunge into an ice bath – this will ensure that the samphire retains its vibrant colour and doesn't over-cook.
Next, prepare a brine of half water, half vinegar. Drain the samphire and pack tightly into a sterilised glass jar (see above for sterilisation method). Pour the pickling brine into the jar, making sure it completely covers the samphire, then seal with a lid and store in a cool, dark place for 3 days to a week before eating.
Once opened, store in the fridge, and consume within one month.

The popularity of tanning is undeniable. Each summer, thousands flock to the beach to give their skin a beautiful new glow. However, this short-term improvement can have harsh long-term health risks. Exposure to the sun is the primary source of age spots and wrinkles, especially on the face, giving skin a weathered, uneven, damaged look.
A bronze complexion may look fashionable, but sun exposure accelerates the skin's aging and increases your chances of malignant skin cancer.
How Does the Sun Damage Skin?
Sunlight carries ultraviolet rays that penetrate the skin and cause damage. UV rays are strong enough that clouds and fog only partially block their beams. When ultraviolet light enters the skin, your body produces melanin, a dark pigment that's responsible for tanning as well as skin discoloration. The light also damages the skin's elastin protein, which is partially responsible for skin firmness and toning. As the fibers erode, the skin starts to stretch and sag, losing its natural elasticity.
Sun exposure also dries out oil in the skin, causing rough, damage-prone skin that appears aged. Cumulative sun exposure is a known factor in developing different types of skin cancer, and severe sunburns increase the risk of developing melanoma.
To provide a gentle and safe treatment for sun damage, we have a variety of excellent cosmetic products and treatments for Vancouver patients.
One option is our cosmeceutical products, which function as both beauty enhancers and healing treatments. These are typically topical creams and lotions that contain various medications to promote skin health.
Microdermabrasion and chemical peels can remove the weathered outer layer of skin and reveal the healthy new skin cells beneath.
We also offer IPL photofacials using intense pulsed light to penetrate the skin, targeting the sun-damaged regions with light energy. The light heats and then causes minor damage to pigmented areas and visible blood vessels, triggering the body's natural healing response.
Sublative® rejuvenation uses bipolar radio frequency energy to encourage a healing reaction in the deeper skin tissues. More collagen is produced, resolving skin problems in treated areas.
Additionally, dermal injectables such as Botox® and Juvederm® can be used to smooth away lines and wrinkles.
If you're interested in treating sun damage, contact our office in the Vancouver area and arrange a consultation with Dr. Perhez Jaffer at (604) 298-4481.

Do You Nourish Yourself?
Cereal for breakfast, a protein bar for lunch. Coffee and a cookie at three. By the time she gets home from work, there's no energy or inspiration for dinner, so it's delivery or…cereal.
After a few years of this lifestyle, things are starting to break down; she can barely get out of bed in the morning, and definitely not without a caffeine boost. Her body has started to betray her; her clothes feel tight, her skin doesn't glow like it used to, and her stomach groans and complains after almost every meal.
She feels out of control, out of touch and at war with her body. She wants to make peace and feel at home in her own body, and deep down, cares enough about herself to make this change.
Does any of this sound familiar?
There is a solution, there is a way out, it doesn't have to be like this. There is another way.
I can help you find your energy and vitality. I can help you balance your weight, and feel at home in your body. I will help your reframe your thoughts so that they create positive action. We will create strategies that help you choose the right foods, in order to feel peaceful, radiant, and full of life.
But, you might have objections, like:
"I've tried everything; nothing works."
Counting calories is not inspiring, neither is dogma or guilt. Feeling great IS. I'll help you figure out what makes you feel good, and then how to keep making inspired choices.
"I just have to live with this, it's not that bad."
Your doctor may have told you that what you eat will not affect your condition, and the only solution is to take this or that drug for the rest of your life. That's not the whole story. Everyone deserves to feel good, and often times drugs come with yucky side-effects. You don't have to live with this forever. There are simple changes you can make to feel so much better.
"Counseling is too expensive!"
Simply put, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. While working with me, you'll learn how to feed and care for yourself, and this will save you money in three ways:
You'll spend less on restaurants and fast food because you will cook for yourself, and shop more efficiently.
You'll spend less on vitamins, supplements and weight-loss programs, because you'll only take supplements that you really need, and weight-loss will happen naturally.
You'll save on medical expenses down the road. Improved nutrition can prevent colds and flus this season, and help you avoid expensive procedures years from now.
I help women uncover their innate healing power. I will help you discover the food that makes you feel great and strategies that set you up to succeed.
Many women are inundated with health information. They read health blogs and follow Dr. Oz and still don't feel good in their bodies. I help women tap into their intuition and deep love for themselves so that they can make informed and inspired choices about how to eat, move and live. This way, healthy choices come from a place of self-love and care, rather than from shame or guilt.
Here's what others say:
"I now have ways to describe the "hunger" that I'm feeling. I'll surprise myself sometimes and not be hungry when I'm really working on something I love and feeling really supported in it. I LOVE the hungry sensation when it comes during those times, knowing I need to fuel and nourish my body and that is all, that's all the food is, fuel and nourishment, nothing else attached to it. Conversely, I can now clearly identify the other type of "hunger" that is my craving for being loved, being appreciated, for being with others. You are amazing!" -Lisa
I don't believe in counting calories or following popular nutrition dogma. There are no "evil" foods when you work with me, and no guilt or shame. Let's be honest about what foods make you feel good and uncover your body's natural healing ability.
MT came to me underweight and complaining of IBS symptoms. She had a food journal full of failed diets and a general disgust for her body. She had read about me online, and just wanted to get some ideas about foods that could make her stomach less "round." Through our work together, we learned that she had some food sensitivities that were contributing to her bloating and discomfort, as well as some eating habits that made her symptoms worse. We transformed her relationship with food so that every bite was an act of self-love. Her weight regulated, she enjoys cooking and eating, and she loves what her body does for her. MT has the energy, creativity and focus to teach, travel and work for causes that are close to her heart.
Come in and meet with me for a free consultation. We'll get a clear picture of you and your goals, and I will present some initial steps. Once you and I have a feel for each other, we can talk about what it would look like to work together.
Sign up for my newsletter!
As a bonus, you'll get my workbook on reconnecting with your intuition. It's totally FREE and totally empowering. You'll receive bimonthly emails paleo recipes, inspiring essays and news about upcoming events on creativity and self love.

|Assistant Coach
|3 Years
|(206) 296-5757
Skip Gleason, an assistant to Suzy Barcomb, starts his fourth season at Seattle U in 2019-20. He is the program's recruiting coordinator and defensive coordinator. Gleason also works with the Redhawks' post players and prepares video and scouting of opponents.
In 2017-18, SU won its first-ever WAC Championship and played in its first-ever NCAA Tournament. Kallin Spiller earned WAC Freshman of the Year and WAC All-Newcomer Team honors, developing under Gleason's guidance throughout the season. The Redhawks paced the WAC in scoring, rebounding, and assists, becoming the first team in 16 years to lead the conference in all three categories.
Seattle U put together a strong season in 2016-17, winning 15 games and placing second in the WAC. The Redhawks earned a spot in the WNIT for the first time in four years.
Gleason previously served as the assistant women's basketball coach at Humboldt State since 2007 where he was responsible primarily for video, technology, and recruiting, bringing to HSU back-to-back CCAA Newcomers of the Year. Gleason was also responsible for academic supervision of student-athletes as well as marketing and communications of basketball camps and clinics.
"I am very excited to join Coach Barcomb's staff at Seattle U," said Gleason. "We have always been impressed with her teams' competitive spirit and her ability to put together a game plan when competing against her. Being able to represent the city of Seattle and a university with such tradition and academic excellence like Seattle U is a real honor. I look forward to meeting and getting to work with the women's basketball student-athletes as quickly as possible."
On top of his role as an assistant coach, he also served as Director of Development at HSU since August 2014, before which he was the head men's basketball coach at College of the Redwoods (2005-07) and assistant men's basketball coach at Humboldt (2004-05). He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies from CSU Chico (1995) and a teaching credential from Chapman University (1999).
"Skip is a diligent recruiter with outstanding contacts throughout California and the Pacific Northwest," said Barcomb. "Skip has a great eye for assessing talent – his knowledge of the game and his ability to analyze strengths and weaknesses of our opponents will be a valuable asset. Skip's wide range of coaching duties and expertise will prove essential in the growth and development of our team."

As you'll be well aware by now, Centrebet is back from the dead.
We caught up with William Hill Australia CEO Tom Waterhouse to discuss the relaunch and his promise to take on serious punters with a return to real bookmaking.
Champion Bets: Firstly, how are things going at William Hill? How would you describe your 2016?
We've had a terrific 2016 and a great start to this year. Our app and website are now the best in the market, we made a deal with Racing NSW to stream their racing (we are the only corporate bookmaker who has such an arrangement), and we continued to roll out innovative products like Double Down. This year has been off to a great start with the Chase the Ace promotion really capturing the public's imagination.
CB: Fair to say the Centrebet relaunch caught the punting world by surprise. Whose idea was it?
It was something that I had thought about for a while, which was, how do we cater to the customer whose sole consideration in betting is price? We want to be able to deliver a fantastic experience for each and every one of our clients, and for the vast majority of them they get that through William Hill. On the other hand, there is a portion of the marketplace that is solely driven by price. Centrebet aims to target that market.
CB: What led to it, and what are you trying to achieve?
We are trying to cater to the serious punter. For Centrebet that means we will be offering market leading odds and guaranteed limits. On the other hand, there are no free bets, promotions, protest payouts and the like.
CB: Do you see it purely as a short-medium term trial, or expect it to be sustainable in the long run?
We expect for Centrebet to be sustainable in the long run. Like anything, we need to be able to make a commercial return but the results have been promising so far.
CB: It was nice to see the return of the Centrebet brand. What made you go with this rather than simply launching the new service under the William Hill banner?
Centrebet is an iconic brand in Australian wagering so that made the decision an easy one.
CB: Back in your days on-course you were known as a bookie who wasn't scared to take on punters. Does this then feel like a bit of a return to your roots?
The marketplace has changed tremendously since I was on-course ten years ago, and in another ten it will look different again. I really hope that punters will enjoy taking us on.
CB: William Hill led the pack with Click-to-Call, but that has now been made illegal. Do you see any hope for online in-play betting for Aussies in the next 12 – 24 months?
Our customers loved click to call and it was greatly disappointing that the NT Commission, prior to any Federal legislative changes, stopped our ability to offer this service to our customers. We will continue to push for the recommendations of the O'Farrell and previous Government reviews which called for regulation and legalisation of in-play betting. This process unfortunately looks like it will take longer than 24 months.
CB: Centrebet's high limits on metro racing have been very well received. Can punters realistically expect them to be extended to non-metro racing?
Yes, absolutely. We are bringing in a minimum bet to win $1,000 on country and provincial racing, Australia wide.
CB: What's your pricing model for racing? Are you simply committed to offering the lowest market percentages?
For metropolitan racing we are certainly committed to having the best overall book percentage in the marketplace, and we will look to take on runners when we have an opinion that is different to the market.
CB: How confident are you in your form analysis and risk management team? Because it's likely Centrebet will be dealing with plenty of heavy-hitters as well as moderately successful punters, whom the William Hill group haven't really catered to in the past.
It's certainly a very different approach and we are trading in a very different way to how we have done it previously. We're fortunate to have a terrific team and the results so far have been encouraging.
CB: Centrebet committed to $10,000 limits on head-to-head and line bets on NBA, NFL, Big Bash and Grand Slam Tennis. Can you confirm if this is likely to be offered on any other sports?
I can't pre-empt any announcement, but we definitely have something in the pipeline for winter.
CB: Do you have any other messages for Champion Bets members and punters about Centrebet, or anything else?
I am really looking forward to taking you guys on!

Everyone loves pizza. But Carolina Williams really, REALLY loves pizza. So much so that she wrote her college admissions essay on the subject.
On her college application, the Tennessee teen wrote an essay about ordering pizza and it impressed the college admissions officers so much that she was offered a place at the Ivy League school.
Williams tweeted Papa John's about the experience and the message has gone viral.
Williams told HuffPost via email, "I came up with the idea all on my own and did not really tell anyone about it. When my friends found out about it though, they thought it was hilarious."
The essay read,
"The sound of my doorbell starts off high, then the pitch mellows out, and the whole effect mimics an instrumental interpretation of rain finally finding a steady pace at which to fall. I have spent several minutes analyzing its tone because I have had many opportunities to do so, as one thing I love to do is order pizza and have it delivered to my house. When the delivery person rings my doorbell, I instantly morph into one of Pavlov's dogs, salivating to the sound that it signals the arrival of the cheesy, circular glory. It smells like celebration, as I love to rejoice a happy occasion by calling Papa John's for my favorite food. It takes like comfort, since having pizza delivered to my quiet home is a way to unwind. It looks like self-sufficiency, because when I was younger, ordering pizza made me feel grown-up, and it still provides that satisfaction for my child at heart. Accepting those warm cardboard boxes at my front door is second nature to me, but I will always love ordering pizza because of the way eight slices of something so ordinary are able to evoke feelings of independence, consolation, and joy."
In the tweet, Williams included the letter from the admissions officer which stated, "I laughed so hard on your pizza essay. I kept thinking that you are the type of person that I would want to be best friends with."
Williams celebrated her acceptance by doing the only appropriate thing: Ordering more Papa John's pizza, of course.
In the end, the 18-year-old ended up selecting Auburn University as the school she will continue her studies at. (Williams plans on pursuing a business degree while minoring in economics.) Fittingly, the school welcomed her on Twitter by telling to her stop by the Student Center for a slice of pizza.

I noticed you recommend avoiding ALL OIL including coconut. There is plenty of evidence that coconut oil is very good for you. What is the science behind your recommendation?
Since you made your way to our website, you are probably in a stage of your life where you are ready for some major changes. Now, just take a second and become very clear about the goals you want to achieve by hopping on this plant-based lifestyle. What is important to you? Maybe you want to get rid of some kind of disease or just long for an increased amount of energy and mental clarity – it doesn't matter. Check out some documentaries to see what's possible Write it down on a sheet of paper for this will keep up your focus and motivation in times of doubt.
This is something you will have to get accustomed to. You really have to up your quantities when switching over to a plant-based diet, since it's less calorically dense. This is true especially when you focus on whole foods. So, load up on baked potatoes, quinoa, beans, salad, and fresh fruit! Eat to your heart's content and never deprive yourself. This isn't about 'everything in moderation', it's about living abundantly off the good stuff. Over time, your body will get used to these kinds of volumes. Aim for at least 2000 calories a day. A wonderful tool to track your nutritional intake down to the macros, minerals, and vitamins, is cronometer. After a while, you can just rely on your natural hunger and satiety cues.
Browse your kitchen in search of any food that isn't beneficial to you and either toss it or give it away. Don't keep it just because you've already bought the food and think it'd be a waste not to use it. Help yourself change your ways by always buying heaps of fruits and vegetables, potatoes and rice, beans, or nuts, so you'll always have them on hand in case you're getting cravings for unhealthy food. Starches like whole grains and potatoes, pumpkin and legumes are your number one source of energy, so make sure you always have plenty of those within reach. They have a pretty long shelf life which makes them very convenient.
When you're on the move, there are most likely going to be stimulants and temptations in the form of animal-based and processed foods around you. In this case, it's really crucial to be prepared by either having a full stomach or some kind of snacks on hand. Bring along your favorite fruits, nuts, bars, and energy balls for a snack. Brin rice salads, wraps, and whole-wheat sandwiches for a proper meal. But there's surely nothing easier than carrying along a few bananas or apples. They are literally nature's fast food and will nourish you in an instant as soon as you feel a little enfeebled and in need of some fresh energy. Luckily, most places offer decent plant-based versions, too!
Our advice is generally to take a gentle approach and slowly but steadily add more plant-based foods into your diet. We don't restrict, we replace! Swap some of your favorite junk for a healthy alternative. For instance, you could use avocado instead of butter, tofu instead of chicken, and black bean burgers instead of beef. In order to make healthier plant-based choices, have dates instead of white sugar, make whole grain instead of white flour spaghetti and have fruit as a snack etc. Increase the amount of healthy vegan ingredients in your meals until you've crowded out the bad stuff.
It is super important to start the day with something healthy, energizing and uplifting. Breakfasts are also the easiest meals to veganize. Some great ideas are pancakes, a large bowl of fruit, chia pudding, a delicious smoothie, some oatmeal topped with fruit, granola bars or savory options such as tofu scrambles with potatoes or avocado toast. There are a lot more vegan breakfasts out there! These types of plant-based foods will inspire you to move on to a healthy vegan lunch, which is the next meal you can tackle. Once you feel confident in your fully plant-based breakfast and lunch options, move on to dinner. Continue until you have all meals and snacks transformed into plant-based ones.
The media, advertisements, and self-proclaimed specialists are doing a great job in confusing people and leading you away from the simple truth: eating whole plant-based foods is the kindest, healthiest and overall best thing you can do for yourself, other and the whole world. Prepare yourself with knowledge so you don't have to question your new lifestyle time and again! Buy or rent books like Reverse and Prevent Heart Disease, The Starch Solution or Whole. There are also amazing documentaries like Forks over Knives, Food Inc. or Hungry for Change. This will also motivate you and makes you remember why you're doing this.
It's always easier when having some company to share your struggles and success stories with. You can even inspire and help each other out, maybe facing similar challanges or having the same goals. Search in internet forums and facebook groups for people who are on the same journey as you and connect with them. Check out Meetup to find awesome folks in your area and arrange a plant-based potluck party. Make sure to follow us around social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+. You can subscribe to our Newsletter and get a free email course in transitioning to a whole food, plant-based diet! We'd love to help you out, so be sure to just get in touch.
There lots of gadgets out there to simplify your kitchen-concerns in the plant-based food world. The absolute basics are a solid and not too small cutting board, a good quality knife, a nonstick pan and pot as well as some type of blender. If you're fully dedicated and want to indulge in this way of living, a few more tools might come in handy. A non-stick pan is something we use almost daily, on top of other pots, and our rice cooker. Some other helpful utensils are a food processor and a pressure cooker or slow cooker. Make sure you get a glance at our dedicated page for essential kitchen appliances, where we go a little more into detail.
Be loving and kind to yourself. If you haven't reached your goals yet or feel like you're not doing things perfectly, don't beat yourself up. Keep your dreams and visions in mind and work towards them, but accept where you are right now and take it step by step. Your thoughts have a bigger impact on your perception and reality as you might think. It all just comes down to creating new habits so this feels like second nature to you. Putting yourself down or under pressure brings along a spiral of negative beliefs and events, so don't forget about the big scheme of things and adjust your expectations according to your own pace. When you become your biggest fan and supporter, your possibilities will be endless.
Once you have dabbled in vegan waters and tried to make plant-based versions of your favorite meals, you can take it one step further. Nobody wants to stick to a diet which only consists of 4 different meals! There are probably quite a few plant-based meals you've never even heard of or foods you haven't tried. During your next visit to the supermarket, pay attention to all the types of fruits, veggies, beans, lentils, grains, nuts and seeds and choose one or a few that look interesting and which you have never eaten before. Browse the internet for ideas on what and how to cook amazing dishes that you can implement as a weekly dinner option. And if you're more of a snacky convenient type of person: so many packaged food options these days are plant-based.
Now that you have created a solid foundation for your plant-based lifestyle, it's time to make a commitment. Choose a few weeks or a month during which you'll try to put everything into action and really follow through. Clean out your kitchen or kitchen space, have all kinds of plant-based staples on hand, keep your list with you favorite plant-based meals and snacks around, and enjoy every single bite! Maybe watching some fellow vegans on YouTube could get you some additional inspiration and help you feel less alone. We'd like to off you to join our private Facebook group for personal support, too. It's only when you decide to make this happen that this transformation will take place and you'll be able to recognize all of the amazing benefits of living this way.
How to become truly successful
Jumping into the cold water and going 100% whole food plant-based overnight may work for some, but it takes a lot of willpower to stay on track. The change can be so overwhelming that many fall off the wagon after a couple of days and head back to animal products and junk food. Of course, this is highly dependent on where you come from. The change won't be so bad if you are already on a diet that is rich in fruits, veggies, grains, and legumes.
Both our own experiences and stories from countless other people in the movement have proven time and time again that a gentle approach to changing one's diet is much more sustainable. Because we want you to succeed and reach your own personal goals, we put together these simple but powerful tips to help you on your journey, as well as a free 6-part course where we give you even more guidance and hands-on advice.

what would you suggest for salad dressing's and oils to cook with?
For salads my fiance's family from Peru usually use just lime juice, salt, and pepper on their salads.
This makes me feel so much more confident in my decision to try a plant based diet, thank you! I slowly want to incorporate more and more whole foods in my diet. the hardest part for me I think will be the lunch and dinner prep for work nights. My boyfriend and I work opposite days too, but he is on board with the change in our food. I work Thursday- Sunday and he Monday – Friday. Any advise?
Love love this! I've been a vegan for about 8 months now, initially did it for the animals but after doing so much research about it health wise and reading "Whole" which I totally recommend to anyone interested in nutrition – I find that I'm making all those necessary changes to live a fully whole food plant based diet and I've never felt better!
All these comments amazing. Thank you! Such kindness and terrific support group!
I have just started the plant based diet about a month ago and have not lost any weight. Is this normal?
I'm curious about not having any oil on plant based diets. What I think I know about vitamins there are very important vitamins that are fat soluble. So, I've always believed it's necessary to have a small amount of a healthy oil daily for that reason. Let me know your thoughts on that . Thank you!
Starting plant based diet today after finding out last week that I am pre diabetic. My fiance and I did Whole 30 in April, he lost 20 lbs, me 7. My questions are these:
Do you buy or make any type of bread or pita?
What do you eat for breakfast besides oats and fruit? I ate eggs every day.
Do I need to take any supplements or vitamins?
We whatched a show on Netflix called What the Health. Any one who feels like crap, and is taking too many pills needs to watch this.
Me too! Am still exploring this plant based diet but love the way I felt last time I went fully vegetarian. I felt like me, so if this is as powerful I can't wait to fell like me again!
My husband and I just watched it. Which is what led me to start researching how to do a lifestyle change. Very eye opening.
That movie is exactly why I am looking for help in beginning a plant based diet! Excited about taking this life style change!
I have begun the switch, am 75 and in pretty good health. The last couple of days, on a 1400 calorie plant based plan with the only exception for this week being a nighttime GNC lean protein drink. Anyway I have had shakiness and hand tremors. Is this typical at this age or dehydration?
Hi Alena,
what do you recomend for someone who is starting on a plant based diet but is also on a more strict calorie diet? 2000kcal a day is allot for me…I'm trying to loose some weight…
Hi! I just signed up for the course and am looking forward to gaining more recipes. My spouse and I have been trying out vegan / vegetarian meals for about a month and are totally planning to continue. Thanks in advance for the course.
Good morning, I'm considering starting a vegan diet for many reasons. Here's my dilemma, I am dealing with kidney failure and have been on dialysis for about 4 years. As a result I have to limit the foods that are high in potassium which includes a lot of fresh veggies and fruit, and legumes. How do I get the protein I need while avoiding these items. Thank you for your time.
Hello Alena,
I went vegan for health reason one year ago following a ten month course of multiple antibiotics as I had chronic lyme. When I did this was eating probably between 1600-1800 calories but my diet was high in "healthy" fats (30%-35% on average)- nuts, seeds, nut-butter oils for roasting veggies, coconut, etc. I didn't really research the diet, I just went for it and I didn't supplement b12 for the first 6 months. I began losing my hair shortly after going vegan and I also lost a ton of collagen, lost weight, had horrible body odor, and turned jaundiced. Fun! Eventually, I decided I needed to change something, so I went HCLF high raw vegan for a month, and I cut out grains and legumes and ate mostly raw. I also made sure to eat at least 2,000 calories. This did help somewhat with my hair, but I was so hungry and cold all the time. I was tested for thyroid and iron, and my levels are all fine. I do have hormonal imbalances.
All throughout my time as a vegan, I had a lot of fear and anxiety because all of my lyme doctors (at least four) told me that I should eat meat to be healthy. I finally gave up on hclf raw vegan and ate meat at their recommendation, and I felt a bit better. But then some of the symptoms that had improved on my vegan diet slowly returned. Last month I decided to go all in on Weston Price to know for sure, so I tried out a higher fat lower carb meat-heavy diet and lost a ton of hair, my skin turned so yellow and I had horrible body odor. I also had a return of lyme symptoms like joint pain and neck pain, etc. I now believe that much of my struggle on the vegan diet is attributed to the antibiotics and my lack of an understanding of how to eat this way, not because of the plant based diet. I think I was maybe not eating enough carbs/calories and eating far too much fat (spoonfuls of peanut butter and coconut ice cream) at night to compensate for being under-carbed during the day.
My question is: I would like to return to a plant based diet, but I am scared that I will not be getting enough protein for my hair (even though it continued to fall while eating meat). As a 107 lb. 5'3″ woman, how much protein do I really need? How much fat is a good amount to be eating to balance hormones (so many specialists have recommended copious amounts of fat, but doing this gives me body odor and turns me yellow…).
I am also scared of grains and legumes, because they are demonized by the raw vegan crowd AND the paleo people. But eating only fruits and vegetables was not sustainable for me especially during the winter in New England. I do have digestive problems and IBS, so I don't want to damage my body. I want to heal and thrive!
I guess any advice or resources you could throw my way would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much for all you do! I am loving your blog and I am excited to give veganism another shot and do it right this time! :)
How much whole grain bread , pasta and crackers could one have? Are they bad for you?
Hi. My husband and I are interested in starting a plant based diet for both weight loss and health benefits. He's 6′ about 235 and I'm 5'4 170. This is so far away from my usual Low carb beliefs that i really could use any advise you can give me for just starring out. We eat supper at home. Lunch to go. Never been breakfast people. Small town with a small town grocery store. (No almond butter. Lol ) help!
Hi Alena, am really excited to start this plant based diet. For health reasons both I and my husband will be trying it out.
Thank you, Bella
I am interested in plant based diet, I just watched "What the Health" & it freaked me out, I haven't eaten any dairy or meats since, I didn't realize we our diets were rich in both. My dilemma is my husband isn't on board, and when he shared that I suggested I can still eat fish, salmon, halibut, Dungeness crab, & more food that comes from our river & ocean. Would that still be ok?
im Wanting to change to a plant based diet. After learning what they are putting in this meat myself and my children need a change. I'm just kind of lost on where to start like where to get some basic meals and start this process. My kids are used to so many different snacks and I feel like with them I need to slowly change myself I don't mind diving in. Would love some suggestions.
husband who is morbidly obese is not on board with any dietary changes and our son follows suit and turns his nose up at any veggies what so ever. I also take care of my 78 yr old mom who is set in her ways. my almost 2 yr old grandbaby loves fruit and a few veggies. I am the only one in the house who would be making this change. I have food addiction and worry about my abilty to do this although I want and need the change. I dont even know where to start. I have been reading all day and trying to take in all the info I can. I guess Im just scared of change
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, after much research I have decided to take on a plant based diet. My support nurse is not on board and thinks it's in healthy – I would really like to know your thoughts on this? Many thanks!
I just watched a video on YouTube by DR. William Schnoebelen called "Swallowing Big Fat Lies: Weston Price and Paleo debunked." I just started a keto-like diet a week ago and lost 3 lbs, but now I am thinking of going the opposite way of keto. Both keto and plant based diets utilize lots of veggies and no sugar, which is probably why both can be successful for weight loss. This video has got me thinking that I should not be having oil, dairy, and meat. The video is from a bit of a biblical standpoint, but it is also backed by science, so it is convincing whether you are religious or not.
I am just starting transitioning to a plant based whole foods diet. I am doing it because the evidence is overwhelming that this is better for overall health. My question is regarding total calories for the day. You state to shoot for 2000 kcal per day which is really a lot for me. I do not want to gain weight. In fact, I need to lose between 10-15 pounds. What is your advice about maintaining and losing weight while eating this way.
I've been reading through some of the information on the site and through the replies and like how the information is given in a positive way. I am interested in starting a plant based diet, however the person I live with is not. Any advice on how to handle the transition when not having complete control of what is available in the house?
I bake well and I want to know what do Vegans use instead of eggs to bake with?
This is such a helpful post. I am trying to move toward a plant-based diet – I have several reasons for wanting to fo this but the biggest is that I have an ongoing cough caused by allergies. I'm not a fan of taking daily medication and to be honest, it really doesn't do that much good. I want to see if eating a plant-based diet will make a significant difference. Many thanks.
I was on a plant based whole grain, whole food diet for almost a year despite this I had hypertension (135/88), IBS, GERD, and impaired glucose intolerance along with high fasting blood glucose (108) and reactive hypoglycemia episodes. I am also allergic to wheat, oats, soy, rice, and corn. I switched to a very Low carb (less than 20 grams of carbs per day) and no more GERD, IBS or reactive hypoglycemic episodes. Fasting blood glucose (87) and BP (115/65). ] HDL on planted based 36, and 39 on low carb. LDL 100 PB and 135 low carb. Tryglycerides 100 plant based and 80 low carb.
Is there any hope for me to get plant based with the same results as low carb?
I watched "what the health" on netflix yesterday. I then had my partner watch it with me tonight. Thankfully he is as shocked as I am about what is happening on a global scale and more relevantly to our own friends and family.
I am hoping to link up with like minded people who are close to us geographically to share advice, give support and help each other out. We live in NSW Australia.
I will also be joining the courses to broaden my knowledge of a PBD.
Is the there anyone who can offer advice or support regarding this dietry change with someone who has had WLS?
Cheers Deb :)
Hi Alena,
Is olive or grapeseed oil allowed on a plant based diet? If not what are the health risks in using them?
You ought to take part in a contest for one of the finest sites on the
web. I will highly recommend this website!
I am starting the process of transitioning vegan i really want this for health reasons the red meat especially i just feel so tired and weighed down after i eat dairy and red meat especially…but! it seems so overwhelming anyone have any tricks they did to help them along with transitioning? I am doing lots of reading which is giving me much info but like i said i am just feeling overwhelmed at this point.
Any advice is greatly appreciated as i want this more than anything.
Cold turkey works for some and transitioning is best for others. I think the best thing to start with is to educate yourself about what nutrition you need to thrive, (It sounds like you have done a lot of reading already) But if not Dr Gregger is a great starting point, he has an app called the daily dozen, that is a good way to make sure you are getting everything you need, you can tick off certain food groups throughout the day. I think it is important to do it the right way so you can maintain it.
Another great thing to do is to check out some blogs (such as this one) to read experiences and to get some recipes you will enjoy, learn a few staple dishes that fit in with your lifestyle. You can get help with free meal planner sites such as lighterworld.com, that gives you recipes and a grocery list based on your kitchen appliances, how many people you are cooking for, what foods you like and what foods you must avoid. I hope that helps Julie.
booҝmarked!!, І really like your blog!

Tanah Lot is easily one of Bali's most iconic temples. Truly one of a kind, it features a small shrine complex on an islet, set against a dreamy ocean backdrop. We set out on a short tour to explore this famous site. Your holiday in Bali will be incomplete without visiting this landmark.
Besides the showpiece temple complex that is surrounded by the Indian Ocean, one among our popular temple tour itineraries also includes a stopover at another regal site – an idyllic temple complex called Taman Ayun that is surrounded by a spring-fed freshwater moat rather than crashing waves.

Starting off in the early afternoon from Kuta Beach, we head north on our combined tour to first reach Taman Ayun Temple. This significant temple complex is located in the village of Mengwi, an hour's drive north. A remnant of the old Mengwi kingdom, the 17th century temple stands gracefully with its four different divisions and palatial surroundings.
The complex features terraced courtyards set in well-kept grounds with manicured lawns, and which is surrounded by a large manmade moat. The overall atmosphere is a soothing one and you can easily lose a sense of time here. Also, don't miss the bell tower with ladders you can climb up for a spectacular birds' eye view!
After a good hour enjoying the gorgeous surrounds of Taman Ayun, we set out west entering the Tabanan regency, with a stop at Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest. Alas Kedaton is a 12Ha nutmeg forest that is home to hundreds of grey long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis). Within the forest is also a temple, and out on the perimeter are art shops and small restaurants selling refreshments.
Then, we head towards the highlight of our tour: Tanah Lot Temple. Various art shops and galleries displaying knick-knacks line the meandering sidewalks, and approaching the coastline, the sea temple comes to view. At low tide, you can walk down to the rocky shore alongside Tanah Lot for a closer photo shot of this breathtaking structure.
The rock base is where the legendary 'guardian' sea snakes dwell in crevices around the Tirta Pabersihan fountain, which is a natural spout and source of holy water for all the temples in the area. A priest usually stands by to bless visitors with a sprinkle of this holy water over their heads. Entry to the rock temple is normally restricted only to praying pilgrims.
During high-tide, the western seas are rough and extra caution must be taken near the crashing waves and wet rocks, but you can still capture some great images and enjoy the spectacle, as the best views are indeed from a distance, onshore. There are also many other side highlights to be viewed here, including numerous smaller temples that host prayer sessions for various aspects of agrarian life, from good rice harvests to rites of passage.
To sum up, this tour offers a great half-day (approximately six hours) to see three of Bali's iconic temples – one placid and green and surrounded by still freshwater, another in a lush nutmeg forest 'guarded' by monkeys, and another surrounded by crashing blue waves. You are sure to experience sights that will be embedded in your memory for a lifetime.

Revamped T1 to be unveiled at Changi airport
Published on Jul 13, 2012
Renovation work as been completed at Terminal 1 of Singapore's Changi airport, and will unveil the new facilities on 18 July. Started in May 2008, the SG$500 million (U $394m) upgrade to Changi's oldest terminal has included refurbishments to the terminal's interior design, as well as work to improve passenger flow at the Departure Check-in Hall, Departure Transit Mall and Arrival Hall. About 22,000m2 of floor space has also been added to the building, bringing T1's total area to about 308,000m2. A highlight of revamp will be the addition of the world's largest kinetic art sculpture in the Departure Check-in Hall. The upgrade will boost T1's handling capacity by 14% to 24 million passengers per year.
"Terminal 1 holds a special place in the hearts of many Singaporeans given its long history. We are pleased to have retained its heritage while preparing it for the future. With a contemporary ambience and improved facilities, passengers and visitors will continue to have a world class airport experience in T1," said Lee Seow Hiang, CAG's CEO. Following the T1 revamp, CAG will embark on the development of a brand new Terminal 4 later this year. This will replace Changi's existing budget terminal, which will close on 25 September 2012. The new T4 is expected to open in 2017.

As fast fashion gets faster and online shopping gets easier, it's not uncommon to find yourself in something of a shopping rut. Sure, going to the same few high street retailers' websites every now and again is a nice, straightforward way of replenishing your wardrobe – not least because they already have your details saved – but it also leaves you at risk of ending up in the pub wearing the same top as three other people.
Slowly, getting hold of less mainstream items and really great vintage clothes is becoming less of a chore too. And we don't just mean clothes that look vintage but were actually made in China last week, we're talking the real deal.
Here are some of the best ways to find one-of-a-kind clothes that guarantee individual style – and don't require you to leave the house.
Slowly, getting hold of less mainstream items and really great vintage clothes is becoming less of a chore too. And we don't just mean clothes that look vintage but were actually made in China last week, we're talking the real deal.
Here are some of the best ways to find one-of-a-kind clothes that guarantee individual style – and don't require you to leave the house.
Follow The Depop Super UsersAbout: Depop, if you're not au fait with the online marketplace, is full of savvy teenagers boosting their pocket money and lots of small independent brands. Both parties have used the platform to create online shops where Instagram wouldn't let them (although increasing numbers of retailers have found ways to make Instagram shoppable so that may not be the case for much longer.) Streamline your shopping technique by only following the pros, such as Tilda Rose (pictured) – who shares beautifully shot pics of her clothes with her nearly half a million followers.
Best for: Cheap deals, especially on popular '90s labels and reworked vintage items. But be quick off the mark – you can't overestimate the speed at which a jammy tween will pip you to the post with a better offer.
Use eBay If You're Looking For Something SpecificAbout: eBay is both the best and the worst place to shop for vintage clothes. It's the best because it's an endless treasure trove and it's one of the few places you can still pick up a bargain. It's the worst because finding something decent involves endless trawling and stumbling across a lot of crap in the process.
Best for: Finding something very particular. The best way to use eBay is to treat it like a physical store, popping your head round the door every week or so to see if that particular item you're looking for is around.
Vestiaire Collective, If You're Going DesignerAbout: This pre-loved fashion site, founded in 2009 by Fanny Moizant, is part of the reason I've started to think a Chanel handbag really is a good investment. Amongst the second-hand (but often still very current) fashion you can find on the site there's also an excellent, continuously updated range of vintage items.
Best for: People who want a lifetime investment, so watches, handbags and lots of Chanel. Plus items go through a rigorous validation process so you can rest assured you're not buying a knock off. Their customer service is also very good.
ASOS Market Place & ASOS Reclaimed For Hybrid VintageAbout: You're probably familiar with the ASOS marketplace and its millions of 'original' vintage pieces but their new AW16 ASOS Reclaimed Vintage line is also worth checking out. It's part re-used fabrics, part true vintage, part vintage inspired items – so there's something for everyone.
Best for: The AW16 collection is full of pre-loved leather and denim, mesh dresses and leopard print galore. Plus you probably already have an ASOS account, so that's one less barrier between you and some new clothes.
Oxfam, So You Can Look Good And Do GoodAbout: Oxfam only recently launched online. In the most parts your experience of shopping it will be largely like the real thing – trawling through lots of weirdly shaped, weirdly sized clothes with curious labels like 'Chanelle' – but you can still find some great, actual vintage pieces on there that aren't really expensive.
Best for: Random surprises. And shopping with the knowledge that your money is going to a good cause.
The Stellar Boutique Where You Never Know What You'll FindAbout: Stellar touts itself as being 'For free thinking bohemians, fashionistas and vintage junkies everywhere.' Despite the somewhat vague tagline, it's well worth checking out, mainly because it does really feel like a proper vintage shop. Rather than being trend-focused, it's full of little oddities that make it perfect for anyone who doesn't like their fashion being prescribed for them.
Best for: True lovers of vintage, because you can shop by decade.

There's no such thing as a typical day in the office for Helen Wallace, deputy director of GeneWatch, an organisation that works toward increasing public awareness of genetic technology and ensuring that it is used in the public's interest. From writing reports on the latest scientific developments for policy makers and the public to interacting with the media and academics, Wallace works in an often-controversial realm where science meets advocacy.
Wallace's role at GeneWatch is to raise public awareness of the implications of genetic technology and encourage public, scientific, and political debate. "Important decisions about science and technology should not just be left to the scientists; the public should also be involved," she says. The work is not without its challenges; in her efforts to promote the ideas the organisation advocates, she sometimes faces of opposition, some of it from the scientific community.
An Activist in Training
Wallace studied physics as an undergraduate and then studied oceanography at Exeter University, where she finished a Ph.D. in 1989. A short postdoc followed, but disillusionment soon set in. "I wanted to apply what I was learning to the real world," she says, and she didn't find that opportunity in her academic work. Her next job, at a consultancy specialising in hydraulics research, allowed her to put her academic skills to more practical use, constructing models that were used to predict coastal erosion, but she wanted more.
In her free time, Wallace was an active environmentalist. She was a member of the Student Environmental Alliance during her Ph.D. and volunteered for local conservation organisations. In 1994, an opening for a Senior Scientist at Greenpeace with mathematical modelling skills was the ideal opportunity to combine her scientific experience with her passion for environmental issues. In this role, she worked as a scientific adviser, and the results of her work were used to help set the organisation's advocacy agenda.
Wallace's Greenpeace activities weren't confined to the laboratory. She also worked on the organisations campaigns: dealing with politicians and the media, giving radio interviews, and taking part in televised debates. It was stressful at first, she says; communicating science to the media and the public wasn't easy for someone with so little experience. But she was able to learn on the job. "I also worked with very experienced media and political lobbyists, and had the benefit of their experience," she says. Wallace found this experience useful later on, when she was called on to present Greenpeace's stance on environmental issues to hostile audiences: like the time she was heckled by members of a workers' trade union at a nuclear power plant in the U.K. These experiences, she admits, "toughened me up."
Stimulating Debate
While working for Greenpeace, Wallace became interested in human genetics through an in-house project she was working on. Her goal was to build risk-assessment models that predicted the effects of radiation and marine pollution on people. Soon after, Wallace was recruited for a job at GeneWatch; her combination of scientific training, media experience, and lobbying skills made her a very attractive candidate for science-related advocacy work. For her, it was a great opportunity to combine these skills with her new found interest in human genetics.
At GeneWatch, one of Wallace's main tasks is to write reports on the latest genetic technology for the public, the media, and policy makers. The goal of these reports is to keep the public informed and to fuel debate amongst politicians, industry, and NGOs. It's a difficult job, given the enormous volume of the scientific literature on all aspects of human genetics and the pace of relevant technologies emerging in the private sector. Prioritising became an essential job skill; otherwise, Wallace says, "nothing would get done." Fortunately, Wallace is assisted by a few sympathetic academic scientists, who serve as advisors and as fact-checkers for her reports.
As she lobbies and campaigns for GeneWatch, Wallace meets many different kinds of people, and just like when she was working with Greenpeace, some of the interactions can be difficult. "You can get encouragement to hostility depending on what we are saying and who we are talking to," she says. A firm belief in the issues you are campaigning for and the ability to stand your ground are vital skills for lobbyists. "It is also important," says Wallace, "to have a good understanding of the science so you can understand criticisms."
Not all the feedback is negative. Wallace has also had many positive responses to GeneWatch, even from scientists who might disagree with the organisation's point of view. "Most scientists realise that they do need to communicate their research, [so they] do see some value in what we are doing," she says. Even GeneWatch's critics appreciate the amount of research that has gone into developing their arguments and opinions, Wallace says. These people realise, she explains, that GeneWatch's work facilitates constructive, sceptical discussion of current research, even if they disagree with the organisation's conclusions.
Wallace has recently started preparing research papers for scientific journals; one paper has been accepted so far--in a sociology journal--and she is writing another paper on epidemiology. She hopes to collaborate with academics on papers in the field of human genetics in the future.
Wallace's job takes a lot of personal commitment. She travels a lot, to give talks and meet policy makers and the media, among others. The work eats into her free time, but, she says, this is pretty typical for professionals who are passionate about what they do. During the less busy times, the job can offer a lot of flexibility.
Wallace sees a need for more people working at the interface between science policy and ethics. Communication between policy makers and the public on scientific issues needs to be enhanced, she says. Still, in a sector where much of the workforce is voluntary, there is a lot of luck involved in landing a paid position. Scientists interested in this kind of work can help themselves by seeking experience in science communication--presenting lectures to the public, for example--and by "showing an active interest and commitment to the issues of the organisation" you wish to work for. Volunteering is a good idea. As with many away-from-the-bench careers, scientists seeking work in the advocacy sector don't so much follow a career path as answer a calling and blaze a trail.

Eat this Word: Vol-au-vent
October 05, 2009
WHAT? French pot-pie. "This entrée is pretty and good, without a doubt," famed French pastry chef Carême is quoted in Larousse Gastronomique as saying. "It is almost always eaten with pleasure for its extreme delicacy and lightness, but to cook it perfectly demands the utmost care." Carême should know. He is credited with inventing the vol-au-vent, a puff pastry box (with lid) that usually encases a savory mixture of creamed vegetables, meat, fish, or chicken. The name itself means "flying in the wind" and refers to the lightness of the pastry. Not as long ago as you think, it was the height of culinary fashion in America to dine at a stuffy French restaurant run by an enormous French chef who frequently yelled at his staff. What would you have been eating? Vol-au-vent, bien sûr. WHERE? Doug Psaltis and Cedric Tovar's Beard House dinner WHEN? October 6, 2009 HOW? Brandade de Morue Vol-au-Vents > Brandade-Filled Puff Pastries
