Question: 16 g of saturated fat in 2 tbsp of "raw coconut butter (w/ goji berries)" ... healthy or unhealthy? 16 g of saturated fat seems like alot! It's 100% raw, vegan and organic

Answer: It depends what the other values are...If it has enough good things to make up for that much fat then I would say it's fine. If it really doesn't contribute anything to your diet then stay away from it unless it's just wonderful or something. It also depends how much fat you consume in a day...I know as a vegan I eat very little fat to start with... Hope that helped...Take care.

Question: I don't like the taste of Goji Berries but I am aware that they are very healthy? Does anyone have any ideas how I can enjoy them?

Question: is it possible to eat too many goji berries? i on occasion eat 250g of the berries a day, i find it stops me from eating other unhealthy foods such as chips and biscuits and gives me heaps of energy in the morning for a workout. surely a much healthier alternative?? i recently found a stockist that sells them for only $10 AUS for a 600g bag so was going to stock up, but have read that it can be bad too have too many???

Answer: Bernie, Too much of anything is probably not a good thing. Goji berries are a very potent berry and I would think that too many would throw your body off balance. Your body needs a variety of nutrients and foods to stay Healthy. Best Health, Kathryn

Question: How Healthy Am I? HONEST Answers Please!? I'm a 17 years old girl and I want to know how well I'm eating. Although it would be nice to lose a some pounds, my ultimate goal is to maintain weight. I have gym everyday in school. I do mostly weight training (dead-lifts, barbell front squats, lunges, lots of dumbbell workout, etc.) and run 2 miles once a week (sometimes 3 miles, depending on my teacher's mood). I also attend dance class after school. Personally, I'm not worried about my workouts. What I'm concerned about is the things I eat. Here's a sample (list of stuff I ate today so far): Breakfast: A bowl of plain steel-cut Irish oatmeal, a boiled egg and an apple. Snack: I usually don't eat anything between breakfast and lunch. But today I was kind of hungry so I ate like a handful of almonds and goji berries (they're good for your eyes). Lunch: 100% whole wheat spaghettini with a ton of broccoli, few thin slices of baked chicken breast and homemade tomato sauce (made of fresh tomatoes, onions, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, parsley, basil, basil,celery, a bit of sea salt and black pepper). Although the sauce is homemade, I try not to eat too much of it. Snack: A small orange and half of a mango. Dinner: Half a bowl of brown rice. I don't like it much but mom makes me eat it. A bowl of homemade herbal soup (has chicken, longan, Chinese yams & other herbs) A bit of red meat (beef/pork/occasionally lamb) and onions. A bit of fish. A ton of spinach and celery. Throughout the day: Water I don't measure how much I eat. I eat until I feel sort of full but never to the point where I can't take another bite. Rarely do I ask for seconds. Also, I don't go out to eat unless I absolutely have to (birthday party, wedding celebration, etc) So how healthy do you think I eat? Is there anything wrong with what I'm eating??? Again, HONEST answers please! Do you guys have any recommendations? Some things I CAN'T eat at all: milk, soy beans and corn Thanks! (sorry if this is long)

Answer: if your REALLY worried tell your doctor what you eat and they will tell you what your missing honestly to me it sounds good but you should take calcium pills to get the right amount of calcium that your missing from milk

Question: Have I been healthy so far today?I have to go out for dinner tonight? I am 5'9, 136 pounds, want to lose at least 10 pounds and just eat healthy. I went for a run/jog this morning when I woke up for about 30 minutes. Heres what I have eaten: Breakfast small bowl of bite size weetabix with low fat milk (weetabix are low sugar, high fiber, whole grain) handful of goji berries and an organic strawberry yogurt Lunch small peach and a stick of organic cheddar cheese cup of tea with low fat milk and splenda For dinner we are going to a restaurant and I looked at the menu beforehand..it's annoying because it's a set menu and you have to have 2 courses. So I will have smoked salmon with a lemon dressing thing and then either a warm aubergine salad or baked fish. The fish has noodles with chilli sauce with it though so im not sure this is a good choice. Any advice?

Answer: Lunch seems a little light. Maybe add some more salad, and have the peach for afternoon snack. Make sure you eat (or rather ate, seeing as it's getting late already) something between lunch and going out tonight. To go that long would make you binge more. U wanna swap? I'll have your fish for you :)

Question: healthy snack to make? i have microwave popcorn ,yoghurt goji berries, sandwhich (pork , peanut butter ) noodles mi goreng soup microwave lasgna or any other ideas from u all

Question: Is this a healthy breakfast? Muesli nuts & seeds mix with raisins. With added linseed & mixed seeds such as pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds, etc. Dried goji berries, chopped dried apricot, mixed berries in a packet, they have been dried but are chewy. I didnt enjoy it this morning though because I poured about 30grams meusli and thought that would be a nice small amount but by the time I had added the stuff in my bowl was a bit full and it soaked up all the milk too much and was a bit dry so had to keep adding milk.... 10points best input

Answer: this is a very healthy breakfast adding milk is fine as long as it was semi-skimmed and not full fat

Question: healthy whole-foods morning smoothie recipe? ? I make a shake yesterday morning, I used ground raw cacao and goji berries. then added soy milk and a bit of organic cranberry juice. a scoop of greens+ and a few frozen organic strawberries and a drop of honey. It was good! Got any ideas of what else I could throw in there? I thought flax and chia seeds, essential oils, chlorophyll (for detox) Ive got my hands on everything natural. Looking for something right now that might fight off a flu. Also why wheat germ?! Any ideas or recipes for my smoothies would be awsome! Thanks!!

Answer: I do pediasure and ice cream with a bit of extra chocolate syrup. That's probably not what you're looking for but it's still good.

Question: Have I been healthy so far today? I am female, 5'9, 136 pounds, 21 years old. After a couple of years of dieting and bingeing on and off, I've really decided that I am just going to focus on eating healthily. No more cutting out carbs, drinking only juice..drinking strange lemonade concoctions. So here is what I have eaten today so far (It's only lunch time ish) Breakfast organic strawberry yogurt with a handful of dried goji berries Snack organic cheese stick and a peach I also went for a 25 minute walk/jog when I woke up. Is this ok? I want to lose 10 pounds at least.

Answer: that sounds pretty good, healthy indeed. If you intend on walking/jogging try incorporate some sprinting in there as well, lets face it which athletes look better, sprinters, or endurance runners? Sprinters are the answer. Also do some skipping! and drink the mighty green tea. Hope you succeed in losing 10 pounds

Question: What do you snack on all day? I love to snack instead of eating a meal. What are some of your favorite snack foods that you would consider to be healthy to eat throughout the day... My favorites are: Veggie chips by 365 and Goji Berries Hey Julieisbest.. I WAS JUST goint to by the Green Machine by Naked Juice... How does it taste.. does it have a sweet taste to it.. I was a little leerie about buying it. I bout the Acai berry by Lakewood instead.. it was good but tart..

Answer: Green Machine Naked Juice (edited to add: This stuff is awesome. It just tastes fruity, not like veggies at all. The thing is though, it does kind of smell a bit strange because it has seaweed and stuff in it. Hee hee. I drink it almost every day but I try not to breathe in through my nose while I'm drinking! Ha! On the plus side, even if you try it and hate it you are only out a few bucks. You can also try the Naked Juice Gold Machine, as well. That flavor can be harder to find but it is AWESOME.) Nuts Dried fruit Granola bars Jerky I am the same way, I eat constantly throughout the day. I love annnything crunchy. Pita chips are one of my all time favorites. There is a brand called Stacey's that makes a flavor called "Simply Naked". They are toasted Pita chips flavored with sea salt and nothing else. AWESOME.
