Just remembered...nut butters mixed with water, olive oil, vinegar/lemon juice and seasonings - make interesting, creamy, salad dressings. Almond, garlic and parsley is a great sauce for chicken or on white fish.

Tahini, or sesame butter/paste works well too. I used to make a dressing with tahini, ginger, chilies, water, soy, green onion and lemon that was delicious with chicken, green beans and broccoli.

Technically I just finished induction, and yesterday I eat 8 brazil nuts and 2 salads well. Here was my menu.

Breakfast:
Bacon and eggs

Snack:
8 brazil nuts
about 12 raspberries

Lunch:
Chicken Caesar Salad
Ken's caesar dressing

Dinner:
Taco Salad w/
meat, cheese, lettuce, little avocado
Full fat ranch dressing

So today I had a little outburst in the ladies room if you know what I mean
Was this too much fiber/ruffage?

I'm not a major nut person but it's a good snack.

I personally think it was the two salads in one day right after induction, as well as the fact that when your body is ridding itself of the bad stuff, that's what happens. I go through that every time I eat sugar or over do the carbs. During induction, I had days like that about every third day. No fun, however, now that I know my body, I know when to expect it at least.

I'm not an expert, however I have found that every new thing I bring into my diet is handled differently by my system.
Keep up the good work, listen to your body, and Keep drinking the water!!!!!
