I've always been the "odd ball" in the bunch because I could take or leave Peanut Butter. I don't go crazy with it like other women prepping for a comp

BUT RAW CASHEWS????????????

Never in my life would I think I'll go crazy over those things. It's got so bad that I had to remove it from my diet completely because I would eat on those things all day long.

Raw cashews was my crack! Now I'm proud to call myself a recovering cashew addict.

Oh my gosh I am a complete Cashew addict too!!! For my cheat meal I could eat a whole bag... I dream about cashews like every nite too!!!

Hi beautiful Colette.
The other morning on the news here in Australia sayed that is something wrong with the peanut butter in US and everyone to stay away . Gives you some kind of intestines problems. I will be soon traveling to the states and I was wondering if it's true about peanut butter or it's only the products made with peanut butter .
Maybe I should have my jar of peanut butter from here.

Thank you.

See you soon.

you know what, I'm the same way! I can sit down and eat the whole container in one sitting without a problem...no other nut makes me do that!

Ok, I think it's time we get some science behind the nut cravings that we have when dieting. Anybody in RxMuscleLand smart enough to figure this out?...Not me

Hi Colette?

I have a question about avocados. Since they are high in monounsaturated fat why are they not suggested to eat on a keto diet?

For example, what's wrong with eating 8oz of lean chicken or turkey with half of an avocado?

**Vicki Nixon** · 02-11-2009, 07:41 PM

AMANDA!!! I sent u a Prvt message!!! Hit me back girl!!!
xoxox

**Colette Nelson** · 02-11-2009, 08:11 PM

Vicki -- How is my girl and how is the VIRUS on your site??? What a nightmare. I love you too and you know I am always there for you. Now I am dealing with Dena's and Tazzie's site that I can't dissinfect!!!! Nightmare!!

Amanda... MY BEST FRIEND! Always there for each other... sock or no sock!!!! Hey.. you know me.. I can eat CHICKEN out of a refridgerator from 4 days ago... I have the stomach of steel.

Peanut butter... Yes, when they said that peanut butter and products that contained peanut butter night contain Salmonella I was like... THANK GOD. Maybe I can actually STAY AWAY From it!!! But.. remember, I make my own. And.. I eat the NATURAL stuff... rather than the crappy stuff like SKIPPY/JIFF/ etc... My homemade peanut butter is the best!!!

TAMMY - Miracle noodels I used for my prep when I achieved my best condition to date, 2003 Europa. They are NOT absorbed and mostly Glucomanan fiber. They help to keep you full and are just awesome. They save the day in my opinion. Don't be afraid of them... they work magic.

Goddessamazon... Avocados can be used in a ketogenic diet.. but, just make sure that they are eaten with a low fat protein otherwise you will be eating TOO MUCH FAT at your meal. A woman should eat, on a ketogenic diet, no more than 10 gms of fat / meal. So.. you really have to MEASURE your avocado. If see the FIBER, only 2.7 gm of NET CARBS. This is totally acceptable for a ketogenic diet. More fiber than nuts.. and those with NUT addicitons would be better off using avovado.
2.5 oz -- weighed Avocado.
119 kcal
10.9 gm fat
Carbs -6.1 gm
Fiber - 4.8 gm

Elise -- HEY EVERYONE. Check our my girl Elise Firestone ( Cosmetic Artistry ) THREAD about hair/make-up/beauty... GOOD STUFF

INTRODUCING - IRONLADY DOC MALEA JENSEN THREAD- For all those with TRUE medical questions.. she is a bodybuilder, DO and a great DOCTOR. Sharon. you should run by your issues with her.... it might be great to have her insight. Also.. she is a WOMAN like US and has a different perspective on MEDICINE.

Ms. Karen - NUT ADDICTION!! I think this is very complex. It is an easy food to rationalize. This is what all dieters do. As a competitor we are faced with the idea of extreme dieting.. and let's face it.. whenever you get your bodyfat below the essential requirements for women which is 10-13%, it HURTS!!! It isn't natural and your body will naturally start to crave FAT!!! Certainly when on a ketogenic diet.. you are still eating fats.. but, in extreme cases you have to go on protein/veggies which further makes your body crave fats. Then.. there it is .. .the forbidden food... nuts, cashews, nuts butters... HEALHTY... yet deadly. If they weren't so DENSE in calories... it wouldn't be so dreadful to dieting. But.. think about it.. 10 nuts are as much as 160-190 kcal. And like the above..I have polished off BIG BAGS of nuts too and I cringe to think of the calories consumed. That becomes a NOT SO HEALTHY FOOD at that point. It is so complex and food is such a personal thing. I think we all have our own reasons for loving peanut butter/nuts but as a bodybuilder I think it is all about rationlization.

Just a few thoughts to all my LADIES... that i love so much.

GO CAULIFLOWER RICE.. you guys have to try it.
