Im trying to make the MM date energy bars, and my kitchenaid food processor just died because of it! How do you do it? Do you soak the dates first to soften them? Using a stronger food processor? Blender maybe?

Im sure there are certified psychologists who are in some way in the community. Please drop links to relevant IG pages or websites. Not looking for psychiatrists, coaches, or other modalities.

Im posting here for accountability. Recently my sleep schedule was very off. It influences me a lot. When I go to bed exactly at the same time every day, at midnight, my body loves it and Im sleeping well. However, if I fall asleep too early I then wake up shortly after and stay up till 6am.

Ill try reading, or do small creative activities to keep me up (please let me know if you have fun ideas!). But in days Im already tired it's harder to stay concentrated on a book or anything else. So then it becomes a repeated loop day after day that's harder to break.

And I can't watch movies as I have some neurological problem and it's too stimulating:/

I also notice that because of light sensitivity, I dim the light a lot in the evening hours and that also makes me more sleepy.

My diet and other habits are good, but it works only to a certain extent if it's without sufficient sleep.

And when Im exhausted, it's harder for my body to relax and get afternoon naps. When Im well-slept at-night I can easily have a 1hr mid-day nap and I love those - makes me feel fresh and doesn't mess up my nights.

Its not the first time it happens to me that I find myself in this annoying situation, and so far my best solution is pushing through and have stronger will power. The tricky part? I have a hammock in the living room and it's very comfortable lol.

Tips, encouragement and ideas on braking this loop are appreciated.

Im thinking on efficient meal-prep.. I like the taste of potato tortilla / pizza base, but I always made it right before eating. Will it taste good if I make a batch and put in the fridge for several days? Then just reheat it?

What about other types of tortillas like sweet-potato base or other options? Trying to figure out what works vs doesn't work to prepare in advance.

Let me know if it's something you're doing

Thought maybe to buy some of Raw Food Romance?

My breakfasts are beautiful, but I crave more variety for lunch and dinner. Want to figure out more dressings to use, and maybe finally put my dehydrator to work.

I don't eat nutritional yeast, soy, or oils. I also don't consume apple cider vinegar or psyllium husk. Im ok with nuts and seeds in moderation.

My tendencies for deep-thinking + some level of OCD are usually expressed in a way that after an interaction with someone, if there was any problem-solving involved, my brain will stay busy with it later until I reach the best solution.

The conversation was already over. The email interaction had moved on. Does it make sense to reach out again with "You know, I thought about that issue and came up with XYZ..." or do I need to train myself to move on?

I almost never come up with the good solution on the spot. I need processing time.

And I am detail oriented so I tend to think about all things..!

Any ideas for relatively easy instruments that is possible to learn to play on while laying down / maybe upper body a bit up and supported with pillows? Could be nice to make music and learn a new skill

Many recipe creators out there in the vegan community look very interesting and fun, just maybe use nutritional yeast, tofu, or too much nuts & seeds.. But maybe some of them are OK and suitable for our lifestyle? And that can add variety and joy?

For example - Anyone have the ebooks by 'Rawfood Romance' and can say how suitable it is with MM lifestyle? Or at least easy enough to substitute certain things?

Any other similar recs? Fun dressings, wraps, salads, dehydrated stuff, etc etc.

If you know of good websites to find delicious Indian recipes (oil-free+GF) please let me know!

I really like drinking turmeric-ginger shots. I think this recipe is amazing. However, Im unsure how to approach this. Im using the Nama J2 juicer. I didn't make these shuts the past year since I bought this juicer, as I didn't want to complicate cleaning.. I love it fresh, more than frozen. Is it doable to make it every morning without making a huge mess out of this juicer? Or do you all freeze shots in advance? Use the old juicer for that (Sana 727)? My throat feelss congested now and it'd never happen if I was drinking these shots daily.

As I see it, investing in personal health IS a business expense. Especially for solopreneurs. Is there a way to make it work with tax authorities though? I know business coaching can be tax deductible.. Are there any other titles in between that could work in that direction?

Ok wow. Just wow. I got the Neat Plus model, and it's so addictive to clean with. I've been on the fence for a long time, and so happy I made that decision. I still also use spray cleaning products, but it's different. Good on my shower tiles, kitchen counter, taps etc.

Anyone knows of recovery stories where people stopped taking statins after doing MM?

I know the approach and view regarding liver & cholesterol, reducing fats etc. Just curious over personal experiences.

its probably not only about improving numbers, but shifting beliefs and not blindly trusting any candy prescribed by a doctor is a good solution.

In some MM recipes one if the ingredients is 'unsweetened applesauce'. Can it be fresh home-made blended apples?? Or I must buy one in a jar? Is it any different or both options will work?

Im having troubles registering to the lidl plus app. Their "Contact & Help" section is a useless AI bot. The problem was that my phone number is already known to the app, but my birthday or email aren't right. Anyway. Anyone had similar issues and solved it?

I understand that MM is ok with that, but not too often right?

For anyone who did it, why did you choose it as a therapy?

Did you feel different benefits from oral Vit-C?

I have a small grow tent from spider-farmer. It mostly worked well so far. But I had to change the fan+filter unit, and since they sent me the new one Im dealing with this problem. Something in the fan and hose creates noise. I tried with 2 hoses, the original which is more like aluminum inside, or another one from flexible plastic.

Anyone uses the same brand and knows what Im talking about? Im sensitive to noises so need everything to operate in silence.

Otto's is perfect for tortillas and it's available on iHerb, but more expensive than other options on Amazon.de for example. But with the other brand I tried I couldn't form good tortillas. Any relevant experiences?

I love using Otto's cassava flour for tortillas, but here in Germany it's really expensive... Other brand I tried was so bad, tortillas didn't happen lol.
