saving money making flax meal from seeds

It is so simple and easy to grind up flax seeds and make your own flax meal. you can buy a bag from Aldis for 3 dollars and put it in a food processor or blender and it will grind it up. most flax meal i have found cost up to 12 dollars a bag :(  just make your own

Truvia sweetener a powerful pesticide

scientists shocked as fruit flies die in less than a week from eating GMO-derived erythritolTruvia sweetener is made from about 99.5% erythritol (a sugar alcohol), and 0.5% rebiana, an extract from the stevia plant (but not at all the same thing as stevia). A shocking new study published in the journal PLOS ONE (1) has found that Truvia, an alternative sweetener manufactured by food giant Cargill, is a potent insecticide that kills fruit flies which consume it.                                                                                                                             The study is titled, Erythritol, a Non-Nutritive Sugar Alcohol Sweetener and the Main Component of Truvia, Is a Palatable Ingested Insecticide.                                                                                               The study found that while fruit flies normally live between 39 and 51 days, those that ate the Truvia ingredient erythritol died in less than a week.

Erythritol made from yeast fed genetically modified corn derivatives

Erythritol is often indirectly derived from genetically modified corn, by the way. Cargill was forced to settle a class action lawsuit last year (2) for labeling Truvia “natural” when it’s actually made from a fermentation process whereby yeast are fed GM corn maltodextrin.                                        

Truvia a really amazing insecticide

This story on Truvia’s insecticidal properties has really caught the attention of the public. Even CBS News (3), a mainstream media outlet that rarely covers the dangers of food additives, covered this story, reporting:
Erythritol, the main component of the sweetener truvia, has a new, unexpected application — it may be used as an insecticide. …Researchers found that fruit flies fed with food that included erythritol or the erythritol-containing sweetener Truvia died much sooner than flies fed with food containing other types of sweeteners. http://livingtraditionally.com/truvia-sweetener-powerful-pesticide-scientists-shocked-fruit-flies-die-less-week-eating-gmo-derived-erythritol-1/

The worst low carb support group on facebook is...

Atkins Diet - Low Carb  POSITIVE Support Group. I cannot believe that there are so many people in this group that put others down for being overweight . today one of the users posted a picture of three girls that were a bit overweight and then several of them attacked her and were acting like kids by making bad comments when they were all bigger in size than them. The admins did nothing and this picture was there over 24 hours and i know of three people that reported it. Why start a support group to just attack people? so so wrong : ( and this was not the first time i had seen this kind of behavior in this group KARMA WILL GET YOU

Kerrygold butter is too expensive

Most people who eat low carb are pushing this Kerrygold butter like it's some kind of magic butter that you have to eat or this won't work :(  I am telling you right now that is bullshit yes it's organic and it don't taste much different from others I have had before but the price will knock you on your arse . It cost way too much to keep eating this brand and trying to stay on any kind of budget. This brand cost 4 to 5 dollars versus other brands like Aldis which you can always buy well under 3 dollars. I can usually go there and pay $2.20  and it is awesome. or I can buy the hwc for $1.89 and make my own fast. Please don't let others fool you in thinking you have to buy this brand or you won't lose weight cause I have been seeing a lot of this around facebook which is so far from the truth.

tips on saving money on meats (eating low carb) or regular

First thing i do when i go shopping and i get to the meat isle is look for the discounted meats they put out . or the ones with special coupons for 2 dollars off the price.,stores like Aldis and Walmart are good for doing this and most with knock them down to half price the day of expiration :)  most stores now i go yo have the fully cooked roaster chickens and you can usually purchase them for 5 bucks i can get 2 meals from one of them and sometimes 3 which even with 2 that's 250 per meal . Another thing i like to do is buy pork sausage or the Italian sausage in bulk and package it up in one or two pound packages and use it like you would hamburger you can make anything just like you would but way cheaper and it adds a nice flavor to your food. also if you like salmon patties you can buy cans of them at the store dirt cheap and make patties. they are so delicious and healthy for you and for a family of two or three one can for 2 dollars will feed them : )    if you have any great tips please comment them down below : )
