Question by Sundial: What is the difference between weight loss and fat loss? Which of the two is recommended more than the other?
I was under the impression that fat loss leads to weight loss or vice versa but it seems both are different. Can anyone explain the difference??
and I want to get any advise/tips for fat/weight loss… thank you
Best answer:
Answer by Arlene The difference is whether you are losing fat or muscle mass. By exercising when you are losing weight you will be sure to lose the body fat and not the muscle mass. You have to exercise at least 4 times a week. You need to cut all soda and junk foods from your diet not completely or you will feel like you are being punished. Use these things as a once in a while treat. You also need to put fresh vegetables and fruits into your diet along with whole grains. Cut out white bread and add stone ground wheat bread. You must drink plenty of water to help flush toxins out of your system. Don’t be in a hurry to lose the weight all at once it is not healthy. You didn’t gain it over night you can’t expect to loose it over night. If you fall off the diet one day don’t dash the diet altogether it is only one day and you are only human. Tomorrow just start over. Good Luck

"Married Love" "Wisdom for Wives"
Then there are nasty books in the windows: "The History of Corporal Punishment," "Flagellation through the Ages." Then there are syringes, which can, be used for contraceptive purposes, but which can certainly be used for other purposes.
There were no birth control pills in the 40′s.
The controversial topic of birth control seems like a modern issue — but it’s not. Long before the pill, UK men and women wanted — and successfully used — a variety of contraceptive devices. (some used illegal abortions pills)
DAMAROIDS
The tablets sold under the name " Damaroids " were supplied by a limited company in London at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. per box. A 2s. 9d. box contained 36 tablets.

Natural weight loss products offer additional benefits to you. Discover more about them.
Article by M. Navarr
Many weight loss products can offer you a lot of benefits to your weight loss plan, but, only a few of them go ahead and offer you more than the majority.
I am talking about natural weight loss products which offer us some important health benefits that you must to consider before designing a plan to reduce your overweight.
I have searched around the internet so many times and I found the most sold natural weight loss products in the market, from fat binders to appetite suppressants.Here I am listing to you a summary of the main and most important benefits to taking effective natural weight loss products: 1. Can reduce our dietary fat intake more than 25%.2. Decreases our food cravings.3. Curbs our appetite whilst lowering our food cravings.4. Lowers blood cholesterol.5. Improves joint mobility and flexibility.6. Cut our calories consumption by more than 400 calories a day.7. Reduces our fat absorption.8. Suppresses our appetite.9. Appeases aches and pains.10. Boost our energy levels.
The list is endless, but these are the most important benefits all we have to consider from my point of view.
For me, one of the most important benefit of that list is a lower level in blood cholesterol; as you know, this is a disease which can cause even people’s death when its level is too high. Some other no natural weight loss pills can cause this kind of problem. So be careful when make a decision on what product you will take to a healthy weight loss.
There is another great benefit that I found among these natural products: some of them help users to experience fewer aches and pains in their process to reduce their overweight, and for old people, these products can increase their joint flexibility, a very important benefit for a better life.
I do not want to dispute the credibility of any dietary supplement, but if I am going to design my best weight loss plan, I will search for those products which can offer to their customers the most important benefits to their health.
Nowadays there are so many products in the market that are highly competitive and with important benefits, but you always can look for the best natural weight loss product.
So, you have the choice, you can offer your body a natural solution to healthy weight loss.

Yes it’s true, there are may many weight loss products that are are dangerous! These weight loss products are often marketed as “dietary supplements” and are sold on various web sites and in some retail stores. Most well know weight loss products are available not only in local drug stores and supermarkets but you can also find them on the internet as well. These weight loss products are often marketed as dietary supplements and are sold on various web sites and in some retail stores. Why many rapid weight loss products are dangerous is that once the pounds begin falling off, many people become complacent and lapse into poor eating habits. Ok, maybe 99% might be a little high, but it bothers me me that so many weight loss products are being sold that don’t help whatsoever. Beleive me I’ve tried a few of them. However not all weight loss products are the same. All kinds of branded weight loss products are available for oem & odm (private label), we provide the most effective natural weight loss formulas to be chosen, which is fast and safe for taking. Most weight loss products are diuretics and can have the side effect of dehydration. Herbal weight loss products are made from natural herbs and plants. Herbal weight loss products are in great demand for people who want to lose weight using natural methods. Weight loss products are designed for quick weight reduction. Another group of common weight loss products are based on controlling cortisol hormone. The Mayo Clinic site also notes that the majority of dietary supplements and other over-the-counter weight loss products are not subject to the same level of testing that is required of prescription drugs and the other medications that are available in most pharmacies Many of these weight loss products are well known for reducing the amount of fat ingested, and initially, their similarities are impressive. But sometimes you do not know which weight loss products are good enough to help you, do you?. Many websites always try to hypnotize us with telling that their weight loss products are the best in the internet. Remedies, such as all natural weight loss products are the best choices. Many natural weight loss products are classified as foods and are not regulated as medicine. With the greatest respect to our American cousins, they are guilty of over hype and and under delivery where weight loss products are concerned. These weight loss products are not regulated, contain active ingredients that have no proven weight loss benefits, and may damage your weight and health. The weight loss market is very competitive, yet very few weight loss products are clinically proven. At best, quick fix weight loss products are a complete, absolute, total waste of money. The biggest “scam” weight loss products are the ones sold via radio and tv advertisements. All natural weight loss products are still the best. The best natural weight loss products are healthy foods that you should be eating everyday, such as, fresh fruits and vegetables. These weight loss products are 100% natural and will enhance your weight loss.

Egg over Wild Greens
Image by Barry Gourmet and Raw
A Healthy Breakfast or Lunch and it takes only 10 minutes to make for one person.But 2 people can enjoy this recipe as well just double up on the ingredient portions.
All animal is missing dietary fiber,with a much slower transit time through your body ,so it is very important to load up the recipe with vegetables .
And seven does the recipe pass the taste test? Yes why bother even to start a recipe if it absolutely doesn’t make your taste buds jump out and say WOW! this really is delicious and savory ,and brings a smile to your face.
Yes we are all human after all and I am not to proud to admit that on occasion my recipe plan did not work in the taste department and this can happen to you or any body else but it’s OK! You can learn from this as its all trial and error in the beginning . Sometimes it can become a real challenging attempt , to get it right the second or even the third time. No problem this is life.
In my opinion there is healthy and unhealthy ways of preparing meats in your kitchen and the following are just a few rules that I follow as I wash up and slip on my apron for preparation of this recipe.
One the meat is stored with meats, and the vegetables with vegetables separately in the refrigerator to prevent cross contamination. The meat should be stored near the back where it is coldest.
Two I use separate work areas in my kitchen with separate cutting boards with separate culinary utensils to prevent cross contamination.
Three the meat will always be cooked first as it will take the longest time to finish and the vegetables will follow after.
Four the only cooking medium I will use is pure water , or vegetable stock that is not more than 2 days old in the making at most.
All my cold pressed oils are not used for cooking as the high heat will denature and cause the oil to go rancid in the body creating even more free radicals.
I use the following cold pressed oils contained in glass were in moderation for vinaigrette dressings , sauces and as recipe thinning such as Virgin Olive, Flax Seed, and Coconut Oil.
Five my only heating methods will be light steaming, blanching ( dipped in hot water that has been previously boiled) And on rare occasions some vegetable broth pan frying and oven baking but the recipe would usually take to long in time to make, so it is not used much by me.
Six I think of possibly adding a probiotic cultured food such as Korean style traditional Kimchi or German style traditional Sauerkraut on the side. An optional small serving dish of either of the two would be an excellent compliment to the Egg over Wild Greens Recipe.
Often with many Thai dishes a side order of fermented greens or paste dip is offered.
And Seven is my organic garden of choices for fruits,vegetables and herbs to add to the recipe.
And what about that Egg ?
Not that long ago Eggs received a lot of negative publicity from the News Media,Doctors and uninformed Health advocates claiming that eggs would raise your cholesterol and clog up your arteries leading to heart disease. It went on like this for years and then the cholesterol lowering pharmaceuticals , where born to come to the rescue. But then later we found out that the cholesterol lowering drugs where not a necessity in most cases and that right diet like a Plant Based one could actually do the job very well without any of the associated side effects. Of course we know today that our own body Liver manufactures cholesterol which we could not live without it anyway . Later science discovered that lecithin,Vitamin E, and the trace mineral Selenium was in good supply in the eggs yolk sack. And on top of this if the egg was free range ,grass fed and organic you would have a good supply of essential Omega 3 fatty Acids as well ,the good fats.
So then the egg industry could breath a sigh of relief knowing that certain eggs where good for you in moderation, and the others where still questionable?
And what about all the egg cartons showing photos or drawings of fish all over them?
I thought that hens where vegetarian, and not fish eating birds? Am I looking at a GMO product here containing Genetically Modified Organisms?
We can see all kinds of controversial food and product claims made over the years that only adds confusion to the consumers to no end.
The following are good examples.
We where told that Dairy Butter was bad for our heart health and to only eat processed Margarine for protection. Then only years later we found out that the friendly margarine contained processed artery clogging, hydrogenated oils.
We where told that all coconut products are fattening and contained high levels of saturated fat.
Years later we learned that this simply was not true ,and now know that the saturated fat in coconut is different in chemical structure compared to the saturated fat found in all land based meats. The meat from land having long chain saturated fats and the coconuts having medium chain saturated fatty acids work differently in the body. The fact is coconut fat helps you to lose weight , and meat fat helps you to gain weight its proven.Generally all the South East Asian people living on a traditional plant based diet including coconuts , are relatively all lean and thin .It is rare even today that you can find any obesity among them.
We where told that human mothers should never breast feed their new born babies, but instead to feed the human baby cows formula milk that was really met for the cows suckling calf.
But of course to day we know now that it is much more healthy for a human mother to breast feed her natural breast milk to support the babies immunity, brain development and body function.
And then we where told not that many years ago that it was healthy to smoke cigarettes.
Yes its true! According to history ,Medical Doctors pitching the sale of Cigarettes for the Tobacco Industry such following claims where made.
"Cigarettes are healthy for you , and can help your indigestion. They can even help you to attract the opposite sex."
These are only a few examples and there are many more, so what is really going on here?
I let you decide?
“Do we really consciously think about where that food item came from ?, How it was made?, What is in it ?, What was taken out?, And how long it has been sitting on the shelf ? Do we really want to know ? Do we really care? “

Egg Over Wild Greens Ingredients:
One free range Organically raised Hen or Duck Egg . I prefer the Duck for its rich orange color of yolk that is rich in the trace mineral selenium.
A few whole Raw Macadamia Nuts.
On the side :Some raw unfiltered honey , Wasabi powder, Bee Pollen,powdered Green Tea powder. Thai chilli powder and soya sauce. Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. Black Pepper powder.
One small whole onion
One whole garlic clove . Or if you are like me you can add 2 garlic cloves for all those Garlic Lovers out there.
One whole lime or half a lemon .
One small field tomato.
One half ear of Organically grown corn on the cob.
Three medium size dry mushrooms of your choice.
Barry’s Gourmet Fresh Garden Wild Greens:
I like to add a lot of a little bit of everything to add flavor and nutrition to the mixed green salad.Just enough to balance out the meal with out overwhelming it.
This is almost like a ritual for me and I know a lot of gardeners reading this article can relate to this. I just walk around my garden with my stainless steal strainer basket and start picking what I feel like eating at the time.
For this recipe I picked young Rose Apple leaves, young Mango leaf, some Dandelion leaf, a few “By A Boo Bak “Leaves. Now I know what you are thinking ? What the heck is “By A Boo Bak” ? All I can say is they stand about 3 to 7 inches tall and they look like thin dark green pancakes supported by long thin edible stems.I would classify them as delicious edible weeds that grow just about every where.Almost every time I talk to a Thai knowledgeable elder person about edible weeds , they can only give me the Thai name and not the english name so that is the way it goes.
I find it very interesting that in the Thai produce out door market places , I can see all kinds of interesting green herbs with edible flowers and weeds that you would never find being sold in a conventional grocery store displayed under one air conditioned roof. It is a cottage industry in Thailand for growing medicinal herbs and exotics.As long as you see them eating this plant that has been done for generations then you know its OK to eat.
It is not uncommon that I would come home to my Thai wife,”her name is Am “ and ask her “what the heck is this? “ holding the weird looking green plant up for her inspection.
She will smile or maybe even laugh and tell me what it is in Thai language only.
She will say often that we do not know the English name and only the Thai name so look it up on the internet.But when I do in most cases I cant find it so I have resolved my self for giving Thai names only to some of these South East Asian herbs and edibles.
But not to worry if you do not have a Thai Herb garden in your back yard.
This is just in, my Thai wife surfed the internet for me to look up that weird pancake shaped edible weed for me , and it turns out that it is called an "Asiatic Pennywort or Tiger herb. This plant is a heart tonic and effective for lowering high blood pressure. My many thanks to my Thai wife ,"Thanks Am."
You can use any of the following store bought greens that is just as effective.
Basil, Peppermint,Spinach,Romain Lettuce,Water Crescent. Organic as much as possible.
Method for preparing Egg over Wild Greens:
(I call this my Workout Recipe?)
When I am preparing any animal protein ,the food is with out exception always done first working on a separate cutting board. The meat will take longer to steam, and you want to avoid cross contamination with the vegetables from bacteria and parasites. Always make sure that in the end that the meat is thoroughly cooked . (The possible exception can be an egg for some people that like them runny) First add four 4 cups of pure water into your steam pot and add the 3 dry mushroom caps that will make your wonderfully rich broth of tea in the end.
Place your steamer basket on top then place your Hen or Duck Egg inside and cover with the lid.
Put on medium heat for 5 minutes , and now we get to work on the fun stuff , the vegetables.
Making of the Wild Greens:
First the salad sauce vinaigrette dressing for tossing .
In a mixing bowl add the following:
One teaspoon of Raw Cold Pressed Apple Cider Vinegar.
One teaspoon of Raw unfiltered honey.
One fresh squeezed lime or half a lemon juice.
Sprinkle in some Bee pollen (Bee Pollen keeps best in the freezer its a perishable)
Then grate your garlic clove into the bowl and stir then put aside.
Second the making of your savory macadamia nuts.
Place the macadamia nuts in a bowl.
With your basting brush add a bit of raw unfiltered honey , making sure that each nut is brushed .
Next spoon the sticky macadamia nuts into your glass jar and add the following.
One teaspoon of Wasabi powder.
Put the lid on tightly then shake the jar vigorously like all those cocktail bartenders you see doing all the time . A little music doesn’t hurt.
Add more wasabi powder if necessary to cover all your nuts.
By this time 5 minutes should be up, ? And you can add the medium whole onion to the steam basket to join the egg.
Next back to the Wild Greens Salad.
Gather all your leafy greens together on your cutting board and chop the leaves finely and place the whole lot into a large bowl.
Next take out your half cob of raw organic corn and with a pairing knife slice down ward into the cutting board to remove the kernels from the cob. (Raw sweet crunchy corn kernels are delicious)
Add the Corn kernels to the salad bowl.
Finally pour in your vinaigrette dressing and toss the salad wild greens and corn together thoroughly and spoon into your serving dish.
We should be near the 10 minute mark , so this is a good time to take out the steamed hot egg with a spoon and place it in a cold cup of ice water that I keep in the refrigerator.
This will quickly make the thermal scalding egg much more easy to handle in this way , for breaking open the shell.
When your egg is finally naked then , place it on top of your bed of wild garden greens.
Cut the egg, in sections , then layer thinly sliced field tomato across the edge of the serving plate.
Place your semi raw onion next to your egg.
Open up the onion a little down the middle and dribble some Soya Sauce over top and lightly sprinkle some Thai Chili powder over top.
Pour your mushroom broth into your cup and can add one of the caps. The other 2 mushroom caps add to the main dish.
Then spoon over and around your pre made Seed and Nut Salad Dressing made previously from the my “Barry’s Asian Salmon Recipe “ that you can find here below if you do not have it already?
Barry,s Asian Style Seed & Nut Dressing:
I have covered how to open coconuts correctly in some of my other articles, so I just want to say that you need the right kind of heavy Knife that has a rectangle blade. And you work in a circular chopping pattern to get the nut open. Practice Practice. The store where you buy your coconuts does most of the work for you by cutting the sides of the nut then making nice cone head points for easy opening.
But for me I often harvest my own organic coconut from my garden to wrestle with them, but I am getting better at it now.Stores do sell coconut milk or cream in cartons if you wish to go that way as well.
Ingredients for Asian Style Seed & Nut Dressing for one person and good for a 3 day supply:
1 cup of sprouted whole almonds.
Sprouting almonds is easy just have them submerged in fresh water over night , then in the morning rinse out all the old water. Then I use the matt or towel method by rapping them up to absorb the excess water. You will notice that your almonds look much bigger than before
‘because they are. They are sprouting , and the enzyme inhibitors , a protein membrane that surounds each nut is being dissolved away.
1 whole fresh coconut .
1 cup of fresh diced pineapple.
1 cup of fresh diced papaya .
1 level table spoon of the following.
Flax seed ,Chia seed,Black sesame seed,and Pumpkin seed.
A bottle of Bee Pollen that should be stored in your freezer as this is an extremely perishable product,and the same goes for flax seed oil and wheat germ as well.
Every store I know of in the US and Canada will practice this way of storing these kinds of products to avoid the product of becoming prematurely rancid , but retail stores in Thailand as hot as it gets here will not properly store these items in the cooler and it just amazes me why there is not any world standard for this.
Directions for Asian Style Seed & Nut Dressing:
Cut open the coconut at the top and pour the water juice into your glass blender.
Chop the nut down the middle in to two parts then scrape out the meat using a spoon and add it to your blender.
Add your pineapple and papaya to your mix in the blender .
Next add one level tablespoon each to your milling machine that attaches to your blender .
I hope that you purchased a quality blender that has this important unit ? If not then you will just add the seed directly into your blender.
Inside your milling machine you have one level table spoon of Flax,Chia,Pumpkin and Black sesame seed . Turn on the machine with the cover secured and grind the seed down into a fine powder. Then add the contents to your blender.
Blend everything together until you have a smooth consistency.
Always after I blend my dressing or smoothie I taste it first for making any necessary ingredient adjustments with more blending until its just right.
Pour your seed and nut dressing into glass gars to be stored in your refrigerator.
Tip for natural preservation of salad and dip dressings :
Natural foods tend to parish quickly if not properly handled and should be consumed as early as possible with in the first and second day for best taste and nutrition.Home made salad dressings in glass jars are best kept in the back of the refrigerator where it is coldest.
Nature has 3 powerful preservatives that you can mix into your raw dressing to taste.
I use ground Clove powder that is one of Natures highest antioxidants and is well documented anti parasitic.
I use ground Cinnamon powder that is also one of natures highest antioxidant herbs and it has the capability to help stabilize the blood sugar .
Raw unfiltered honey is a well researched preservative from nature , and it helps neutralize ,bitterness and tart after taste of the other two herbs.
I usually make enough to last 3 days tops and no longer than this.
I do not trash any of my left over raw dips or dressings I compost it instead.
“The supplement Industry is telling us that we cannot possibly get all our nutrition from our foods alone due to many factors like loss of top soil and unsustainable modern chemical agriculture used today. I can see their point hear ,but then we have peoples of the Blue Zones all over the world living today well into and over one hundred years of age ,disease free living on whole food plant based diets and they seldom take any supplements.” Something to think about.
“This delicious RAW rainbow of colors,of Green,Red,Orange,Yellow, and Purple will have you covered for high antioxidant and phyto nutrient support for your immunity and cleansing protocol.”

Stir together and taste….. What do you think? Savory ? Brings a Smile to your Face? It did for me and since all people have different taste buds you are allowed to make adjustments to your liking . You are the Gourmet of Your Kitchen.
Cleansing Pepper Cups Method:
On your cutting board split the Sweet Red Bell Pepper in 2 parts down the middle.
Scrape out the seeds and flesh .( Discard or do what I do Compost and save seeds for planting)
With a pairing knife cut V shapes around the edges of the 2 Bell Pepper Cups.
Do not discard the V shaped little pepper shapes , you can toss them in your Salad Bowl with Greens. ( Nothing should go to waste in your Earth Kitchen)
Put your newly decorated Pepper Cups aside to make the chutney style filling.
Chutney style Filling:
Cut ,peal and spoon the flesh of your Avocado into a medium size mixing bowl and squash the fruit down with a fork. ( Discard the Pit)
On your cutting board , with a knife slice down ward ,turning the cob as you cut the raw kernels downward and across the board. Split the pile of kernels in half and add that half to your salad bowl greens to join the previously V shaped pieces of Peppers.
Divide again the pile of corn kernels into 2 parts , then add that part to the mixing bowl of your mashed Avocado.
Then on on your cutting board chop very finely the fresh Mint Herb and divide into 2 parts.
Mix in the one part Mint with your Corn kernels and mashed Avocado.
Add your selected whole nuts or you can elect to chop them smaller for that nutty flavor.
Less will give you a more creamy paste and more will give you that crunchy nutty flavor , its your call? “I like the nutty option myself “!
Add in your finely chopped half medium onion and 2 garlic cloves.
If you wish to thin down your Chutney paste ,then just add a little Olive Oil for this and keep mixing. Now taste it …… What do you think ? How do you Feel ?
Believe it or not the whole Avocado used seemed to have neutralized the pungency of even the 2 garlic gloves and half onion, but the added fresh Mint Herb added some savory taste with the sweet corn kernels. The texture and nutty flavor is there of course , but other wise the Chutney
filling is rather bland to my taste , but could be fine for you ?
This is where it gets interesting. For me I like that Hot Spicy taste , so with my arsenal of powdered cleansing herbs I add a dash of Red Chile Powder and Garlic & a small pinch of Mustered and stir it in until I got it just right.
I enjoy a sour sweetness to my foods so I added raw unfiltered Honey and Lime Juice to taste.
After you have achieved your combination taste , then spoon the filling into your decorated Sweet Red Bell Pepper Cups on a serving plate.
On the surface filling of each Pepper Cup add an island of corn kernels surrounded by a sea of your finely chopped fresh Mint herb.
Pour your vinaigrette dressing into your salad and toss then spoon into your serving salad bowl.
Complement your Cleansing Salad with Pepper Cups with your favorite Lemon or Lime drink or do what I do if you live like I do in the tropics for convenience.
I pour fresh Coconut Water into my Cup with a squeeze of Lime,Orange and Raw Honey.

Nutritional Information:
This RAW Cleansing meal is very easily digested and nutrition is assimilated effectively into your body with all the Enzymes , Good Fats,and Proteins intact from these Living Foods. It is scientifically proven that a Vegetarian Based diet that is rich in raw foods will assist you for effective weight loss, I know because I did it for one year to cut my body weight all most in half.
It is very important to eat this hydrating , high fiber meal (Fiber Supports the Liver) slowly and thoroughly as digestion starts in the mouth to break down the complex carbohydrates . We don’t want to be rushed at the table ,even though it takes only about 10 minutes to make this wonderful Cleansing Meal, which is a good thing.
I must add that this Cleansing meal is also anti -inflammatory with out the meat Purines to help you with any Gout or Arthritis condition. I was once afflicted with gout and arthritis myself many years ago and when I slowly changed to a plant based diet , these symptoms are no longer in my life.
About the unrefined Oils ,Nuts and Avocado ,the Good Fats:
We need certain FATS like the ones in this Cleansing Salad to help the Fat Soluble Vitamins A,D,E,and K to be absorbed by our bodies fat reserves. The Fats in this Cleansing Salad are Essential ( Meaning we cannot make it our selves and we must get it from out side foods)consisting primarily of Omega 3 fatty acids found mostly in whole unrefined oils, nuts, seeds,Sprouts, Avocado and in some of my other recipes as well ,with oily cold water fish such as wild Salmon, Sardines,Mackerel ,Tuna and other seafoods of non predatory nature, that are placed lower on the marine food chain.It is important to note that Sea vegetables such as the Super Green Food Spirulina is providing a massive amount of mineral nutrition including Iodine that is less available on land with our unsustainable agricultural practices of mono cropping.( This is why the refined Salt industry is putting iodine into their salt product, because it is missing a lot or deficient on our land based produce. )It is common practice with Organic farmers in America to amend their soils with sea vegetables to put back needed Calcium, Magnesium ,Iodine, and other trace minerals to help replenish our top soils that in return feed the plants that we in return consume. Iodine is a nonmetallic black crystal element that in trace amounts is essential for the health of our brain functions.
All Ocean sea weeds are a great source of essential iodine for your body and that is why I included this ingredient into the Cleansing Salad from sources of Super Green Foods from the sea.
One other Super Food from Nature that I would include in your life for supreme nutrition would be Bee Pollen.
The pollen is a fine spore grain that flowers produce to in huge quantity to entice honey bees , butterflies , and other insects to feed on ,and to transport to other flowers for cross reproduction. This food from Nature has been used by man for centuries and contains a broad spectrum of trace minerals and vitamins that I use personally for additional support for my immunity and good health.
About the Water Soluble Vitamins in this Cleansing Salad is many. This Salad is very high in Vitamin C from the Greens and Red Peppers. The color Red is normally very high in C but destroyed by cooking. This salad provides a lot of the B vitamins as well. The Super Green foods, plus the Bee Pollen provided from NATURE will help provide additional nutritional Vitamin and Mineral support for the cells in your body.
“Experience the Gourmet in YOU “
Why do I go out of my way to list certain Foods to be Organic on my Recipes?
You probably noticed that for some of the ingredients I list in (brackets ) the word Organic is listed. Why would I do this you may think? Well I have done a lot of research on the subject and later discovered after many years of study that the intensive , and unsustainable farming practices today has effectively stripped a lot of our foods vitamin and mineral base , and further depleted our top soils with chemical fertilizers and pesticides to combat disease and insect infestations of our food crops.
There is a very important point behind all this .
I know that most people do not want to hear this , but the TRUTH needs to be spelled out and addressed so that consumers can take necessary precautions to limit their exposure to certain foods that are treated with chemical pesticides.
The Truth is that all living things including our selves , and the Vegetable Kingdom of Fruits ,Vegetables ,and Grains are all SYSTEMIC.
Systemic meaning that the roots of any plant will absorb the good and the bad such as pesticide Chemical residue into the internal cells of the plant through the plants root systems. So this means that all the washing , scrubbing , and cleaning will not help us at all to get rid of of the plants toxin.If I can use this analogy, Its like how our own skin functions , such as letting the hormone Vitamin D absorb into our body from the sun. But the D will be blocked by Sun screen lotion applied to our skin and like Vitamin D will be absorbed into our body.But again our skin will release fluid salts and waste materials through our skins pores when we sweat ,and perspire toxins out to dissipate, so plants are the same way we are, with incoming and out going exchange of materials good and bad.
The BioTech industry knows very well that the root systems of all plants absorb everything attainable from the soils, so the agribusiness scientists over the years have developed many delivery systems to help the host plant take up the pesticide through its root systems to make the edible plant more pest resistant. But the problem with this playing with Nature Protocol is now backfiring on us , as the target insect , or pest develops immunity over time and new ,and much more stronger toxic chemicals are being developed,over time to try and stay ahead of the
problem. When will this dangerous but short term profitable Mono Factory Farm practice ever end?
As we know today , it is all most impossible to find a grocery store that stores and sells everything 100% Organic. Most stores will have some items , but in most cases most of the fruits and vegetables are conventionally treated with chemicals, so what can one do?
First I need to point out that , and not a whole lot of people that I talked to know about this. And that is most of the agricultural fat soluble pesticide residues are found in the fatty flesh of animal and less in the fruits and vegetables. Simply put , our crops are less exposed to the treatment with shorter growing seasons compared to a cow that lives 30 years longer than a plant. Alot of the feed that is growing for livestock consumption is GMO ( Genetically Modified Organisms. ) These crops are Soy, Corn, Rapeseed/Canola,Sugar Beets,Rice,Cotton,Dairy,Aspartame/Artificial Sweetener,Papayas,Farm raised Salmon and many processed packaged food items, from the giant food manufacturers with confusing labels that take all day to read.Yes people will say that going Organic is more expensive , but is it really?
Organic farming is more labour intensive to amend the soils , and to harvest the bounty ,and today every farm that wants to make the change over to Organic is required by Law to let the land heal and settle into a more natural state then 3rd party inspections are enforced to Certify the produce. So it is understandable why Organic Fruits, Vegetables, Seeds , and Nuts will cost more. But the trade off in my mind is worth it as ,after all its something we put into our body, and I love to eat the edible skins where most of the nutrition is held anyway.
Farmers markets and buying locally is also a good idea as well.
So this fact compels me to post a list of what foods are contaminated and what foods are more safe to eat if its conventional. I cannot think of a more authoritative source than Environmental Working Group EWG.

This list provide by the Environmental Working Group is more comprehensive if you visit their website at www.foodnews.org
This list is valuable information to inform you about the pesticide load on certain foods to help you to make informed decisions and to reduce your exposure. But over all it is still wise to eat a wide variety of fresh Fruits and Vegetables more and to limit or reduce your intake of packaged processed goods.

No reconnaissance aircraft in history has operated globally in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71, the world’s fastest jet-propelled aircraft. The Blackbird’s performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the Cold War.
This Blackbird accrued about 2,800 hours of flight time during 24 years of active service with the U.S. Air Force. On its last flight, March 6, 1990, Lt. Col. Ed Yielding and Lt. Col. Joseph Vida set a speed record by flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds, averaging 3,418 kilometers (2,124 miles) per hour. At the flight’s conclusion, they landed at Washington-Dulles International Airport and turned the airplane over to the Smithsonian.

Long Description:
No reconnaissance aircraft in history has operated in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71 Blackbird. It is the fastest aircraft propelled by air-breathing engines. The Blackbird’s performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the Cold War. The airplane was conceived when tensions with communist Eastern Europe reached levels approaching a full-blown crisis in the mid-1950s. U.S. military commanders desperately needed accurate assessments of Soviet worldwide military deployments, particularly near the Iron Curtain. Lockheed Aircraft Corporation’s subsonic U-2 (see NASM collection) reconnaissance aircraft was an able platform but the U. S. Air Force recognized that this relatively slow aircraft was already vulnerable to Soviet interceptors. They also understood that the rapid development of surface-to-air missile systems could put U-2 pilots at grave risk. The danger proved reality when a U-2 was shot down by a surface to air missile over the Soviet Union in 1960.
Lockheed’s first proposal for a new high speed, high altitude, reconnaissance aircraft, to be capable of avoiding interceptors and missiles, centered on a design propelled by liquid hydrogen. This proved to be impracticable because of considerable fuel consumption. Lockheed then reconfigured the design for conventional fuels. This was feasible and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), already flying the Lockheed U-2, issued a production contract for an aircraft designated the A-12. Lockheed’s clandestine ‘Skunk Works’ division (headed by the gifted design engineer Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson) designed the A-12 to cruise at Mach 3.2 and fly well above 18,288 m (60,000 feet). To meet these challenging requirements, Lockheed engineers overcame many daunting technical challenges. Flying more than three times the speed of sound generates 316° C (600° F) temperatures on external aircraft surfaces, which are enough to melt conventional aluminum airframes. The design team chose to make the jet’s external skin of titanium alloy to which shielded the internal aluminum airframe. Two conventional, but very powerful, afterburning turbine engines propelled this remarkable aircraft. These power plants had to operate across a huge speed envelope in flight, from a takeoff speed of 334 kph (207 mph) to more than 3,540 kph (2,200 mph). To prevent supersonic shock waves from moving inside the engine intake causing flameouts, Johnson’s team had to design a complex air intake and bypass system for the engines.
Skunk Works engineers also optimized the A-12 cross-section design to exhibit a low radar profile. Lockheed hoped to achieve this by carefully shaping the airframe to reflect as little transmitted radar energy (radio waves) as possible, and by application of special paint designed to absorb, rather than reflect, those waves. This treatment became one of the first applications of stealth technology, but it never completely met the design goals.
Test pilot Lou Schalk flew the single-seat A-12 on April 24, 1962, after he became airborne accidentally during high-speed taxi trials. The airplane showed great promise but it needed considerable technical refinement before the CIA could fly the first operational sortie on May 31, 1967 – a surveillance flight over North Vietnam. A-12s, flown by CIA pilots, operated as part of the Air Force’s 1129th Special Activities Squadron under the "Oxcart" program. While Lockheed continued to refine the A-12, the U. S. Air Force ordered an interceptor version of the aircraft designated the YF-12A. The Skunk Works, however, proposed a "specific mission" version configured to conduct post-nuclear strike reconnaissance. This system evolved into the USAF’s familiar SR-71.
Lockheed built fifteen A-12s, including a special two-seat trainer version. Two A-12s were modified to carry a special reconnaissance drone, designated D-21. The modified A-12s were redesignated M-21s. These were designed to take off with the D-21 drone, powered by a Marquart ramjet engine mounted on a pylon between the rudders. The M-21 then hauled the drone aloft and launched it at speeds high enough to ignite the drone’s ramjet motor. Lockheed also built three YF-12As but this type never went into production. Two of the YF-12As crashed during testing. Only one survives and is on display at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The aft section of one of the "written off" YF-12As which was later used along with an SR-71A static test airframe to manufacture the sole SR-71C trainer. One SR-71 was lent to NASA and designated YF-12C. Including the SR-71C and two SR-71B pilot trainers, Lockheed constructed thirty-two Blackbirds. The first SR-71 flew on December 22, 1964. Because of extreme operational costs, military strategists decided that the more capable USAF SR-71s should replace the CIA’s A-12s. These were retired in 1968 after only one year of operational missions, mostly over southeast Asia. The Air Force’s 1st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron (part of the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing) took over the missions, flying the SR-71 beginning in the spring of 1968.
After the Air Force began to operate the SR-71, it acquired the official name Blackbird– for the special black paint that covered the airplane. This paint was formulated to absorb radar signals, to radiate some of the tremendous airframe heat generated by air friction, and to camouflage the aircraft against the dark sky at high altitudes.
Experience gained from the A-12 program convinced the Air Force that flying the SR-71 safely required two crew members, a pilot and a Reconnaissance Systems Officer (RSO). The RSO operated with the wide array of monitoring and defensive systems installed on the airplane. This equipment included a sophisticated Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) system that could jam most acquisition and targeting radar. In addition to an array of advanced, high-resolution cameras, the aircraft could also carry equipment designed to record the strength, frequency, and wavelength of signals emitted by communications and sensor devices such as radar. The SR-71 was designed to fly deep into hostile territory, avoiding interception with its tremendous speed and high altitude. It could operate safely at a maximum speed of Mach 3.3 at an altitude more than sixteen miles, or 25,908 m (85,000 ft), above the earth. The crew had to wear pressure suits similar to those worn by astronauts. These suits were required to protect the crew in the event of sudden cabin pressure loss while at operating altitudes.
To climb and cruise at supersonic speeds, the Blackbird’s Pratt & Whitney J-58 engines were designed to operate continuously in afterburner. While this would appear to dictate high fuel flows, the Blackbird actually achieved its best "gas mileage," in terms of air nautical miles per pound of fuel burned, during the Mach 3+ cruise. A typical Blackbird reconnaissance flight might require several aerial refueling operations from an airborne tanker. Each time the SR-71 refueled, the crew had to descend to the tanker’s altitude, usually about 6,000 m to 9,000 m (20,000 to 30,000 ft), and slow the airplane to subsonic speeds. As velocity decreased, so did frictional heat. This cooling effect caused the aircraft’s skin panels to shrink considerably, and those covering the fuel tanks contracted so much that fuel leaked, forming a distinctive vapor trail as the tanker topped off the Blackbird. As soon as the tanks were filled, the jet’s crew disconnected from the tanker, relit the afterburners, and again climbed to high altitude.
Air Force pilots flew the SR-71 from Kadena AB, Japan, throughout its operational career but other bases hosted Blackbird operations, too. The 9th SRW occasionally deployed from Beale AFB, California, to other locations to carryout operational missions. Cuban missions were flown directly from Beale. The SR-71 did not begin to operate in Europe until 1974, and then only temporarily. In 1982, when the U.S. Air Force based two aircraft at Royal Air Force Base Mildenhall to fly monitoring mission in Eastern Europe.
When the SR-71 became operational, orbiting reconnaissance satellites had already replaced manned aircraft to gather intelligence from sites deep within Soviet territory. Satellites could not cover every geopolitical hotspot so the Blackbird remained a vital tool for global intelligence gathering. On many occasions, pilots and RSOs flying the SR-71 provided information that proved vital in formulating successful U. S. foreign policy. Blackbird crews provided important intelligence about the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and its aftermath, and pre- and post-strike imagery of the 1986 raid conducted by American air forces on Libya. In 1987, Kadena-based SR-71 crews flew a number of missions over the Persian Gulf, revealing Iranian Silkworm missile batteries that threatened commercial shipping and American escort vessels.
As the performance of space-based surveillance systems grew, along with the effectiveness of ground-based air defense networks, the Air Force started to lose enthusiasm for the expensive program and the 9th SRW ceased SR-71 operations in January 1990. Despite protests by military leaders, Congress revived the program in 1995. Continued wrangling over operating budgets, however, soon led to final termination. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration retained two SR-71As and the one SR-71B for high-speed research projects and flew these airplanes until 1999.
On March 6, 1990, the service career of one Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird ended with a record-setting flight. This special airplane bore Air Force serial number 64-17972. Lt. Col. Ed Yeilding and his RSO, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Vida, flew this aircraft from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. in 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds, averaging a speed of 3,418 kph (2,124 mph). At the conclusion of the flight, ’972 landed at Dulles International Airport and taxied into the custody of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. At that time, Lt. Col. Vida had logged 1,392.7 hours of flight time in Blackbirds, more than that of any other crewman.
This particular SR-71 was also flown by Tom Alison, a former National Air and Space Museum’s Chief of Collections Management. Flying with Detachment 1 at Kadena Air Force Base, Okinawa, Alison logged more than a dozen ’972 operational sorties. The aircraft spent twenty-four years in active Air Force service and accrued a total of 2,801.1 hours of flight time.

Beastman herd successful in their plans to ambush turn 2
Image by jon_a_ross
A battle of magic: 1000 points of Vampire Counts in the form of two necromantic brothers and their horde’s of zombie followers vs. 1000 points of Tzeentch worshipping beasts of chaos.
Six turns (plus one), beasts of chaos deploy first and go first.
This battle started out as an experiment to see if a horde of zombies could be a threat, an actually working army. In theory they are cheap enough that you can field a silly number of them, overwhelming mortal armies and dragging them down. To test this out I build a 1000 point vampire counts force using 2 necromancers and 160 zombies. I have 180 zombie models, so with 20 to spare I was all set to roll.
To face the zombies I thought I would see how my beasts of Chaos force works. I have never fielded beasts of Chaos before (and vampire counts only in small warbands battles) so this was going to be an interesting match.
The beasts of chaos got two 8 gor 12 ungor herds, one of which was sent to ambush. Leading the force was a wargor of Tzeentch in Chaos armour and shield, inside a 20 beast unit of Bestigor’s of Tzeentch (Tzaangors). Thinking about it the Tzaangors might have had a magical standard, but if they did I forgot to use it during the game. Rounding out the beasts of Chaos force was a mutated chaos giant, for punch. It turns out to have been an excellent call.
The vampire counts were all zombies as I’ve stated. So the 4 40 corpse zombie hordes with standard and musician would be the bulk. But there was one minor necromancer with the book that has the dancing zombie’s bound spell and the heal undead spell. And the final necromancer general with all three necromantic spells, the nightshroud armour and the scepter of raising the dead mounted on a corpse cart to lead them. I remembered a little late into the game that the general could share his leadership with the troops, something that if I had recalled would’ve put the general even closer to the action and trying to keep all the zombies close enough to get both that bonus and the ability to march.
The battlefield was built to be the site of some fallen settlement, already reclaimed by nature. A small grove of trees, some rocks marking the foundations of buildings and a evil monolith in the center. Looking at the field during the play I found the zombie side wishing their was less terrain on the field. With such large units they were having trouble getting more then one unit into combat at a time, and to win the zombies really needed to double team as much as possible.
In general the beasts of chaos failed their leadership to charge tests only a couple of times, but those moments when they couldn’t get up the nerve to strike bought the zombies time to re-enforce their numbers. Magic was untrustworthy in the game, as I rolled three miscasts using level one and two wizards. The Tzeentch wargor had two miscasts and the zombie general one. I also recall at least two unstoppable force castings. Otherwise both sides had enough dispel dice to counter all but one of the spells from the other. The necromancers had two bound spells and four power dice, but usually I would cast one 2 dice spell off the general and then one single die spell off each necromancer (usually the heal undead spell) followed by the bound spells.
The Tzeentch wargor had rolled up the flaming shield spell as well as a spell that could cause a unit to strike itself, only if that unit isn’t immune to psychology. As the undead are that spell was traded in for the default magic missile zap. In the game only two zaps from the magic missile were successful, but the spell did cast three times successfully. The flaming shield never was cast, it was either dispelled or miscast or even not cast at all (throwing it last after the magic missile using two dice). Magic for the beastmen was not a tipping point.
Turn 1 sees the beasts of chaos rush forward. I was thinking about having the Tzaangors meet up with the beastmen herd and catch the zombies in a pincher movement, but I didn’t want to have my beastmen caught from behind either. I waited to see how fast the zombies would approach. The chaos giant was heading off to deal with the flanking zombies. Some zombies die from magic, but their loss is barely noticed.
The zombies shuffle forward, in such large numbers as to be a threat. The corpse cart and general keep between the large zombie hordes and even summon up some more zombies to join in. The zombies on the flank alone move forward a bit, while the zombies with the necromancer escort are magically encouraged forward.
Turn 2 has the Tzaangors fail their leadership test to charge the fear causing zombies, the general summons the ambushing beastmen herd and the giant charges the zombies on the flank. The beastmen arrive right behind the corpse cart as planned and will force it into a defensive position. The magic phase sees the first miscast from the Tzeentch Wargor and ends. The giant starts jumping up and down on the zombies, something he will do for a while yet.
The zombies move forward on their second turn, pushing forward as their battle plan has already been drawn. The necromancer general summons up and re-enforces a zombie horde to stand between himself and the approaching beastmen. The zombies fighting the giant are not as lucky and find themselves reduced to only four.
Turn 3 sees the wargor of Tzeentch get his men to agree to charge the zombies. The giant will jump on the last of the zombies, and the beastmen herd on the other side will successfully charge the zombies over there. The ambushing beastmen herd will fail to find the courage to charge the zombies summoned up just to deal with them. So far over 40 zombies will have been killed but they do seem to keep on coming.
The zombies charge the beastmen herd that was ambushing them. But even as the beastmen fail their leadership they are able to do enough to win combat against the zombies, who then fail their leadership roll badly (in part because the general was too far away) and lose a number of their troops. The other zombie conflicts continue to push forward, but non zombie losses are light. The necromancer who as babysitting the zombies on the flank runs and in his haste losses the bookmark for his spellbook, casting the dancing one last time on himself to get away.
Turn 4 starts with the giant rushing after the funny little man who dropped stuff. The wargor miscasts for a second time, this time blowing up three of his men, three zombies and taking a wound for his trouble. The beastmen in combat with the zombies keep cutting them down, slashing and cutting, cutting and slashing.
The necromancer doesn’t have much like this round either, with a miscast of his own damaging both himself and the corpse cart he’s on. The zombies are able to charge the beastmen on the flank, hoping to just break them but they past their leadership. Then the flanking charge is hoped to be enough. It isn’t, the beastmen are able to push to a tie on this round of battle. Worse yet, both the zombies slowing down the ambushing beastmen herd as well as the zombies fighting the Tzaangors are both destroyed.
Turn 5 sees three out of the four beastmen units free of attackers and able to push forward to break into the zombie command structure. Only their courage fails them. Both the beastmen herd and the Tzaangors fail their leadership tests to charge fear causing units, leaving the zombie commanders alive and well. One necromancer takes a magic missile but he keeps going with his two wounds. The beastmen herd under the weight of two zombie forces breaks, taking 38 hits for running away from so many zombies.
The zombies follow up on this success by sending the smaller zombie group after the fleeing beastmen, who run further. The rest of the zombies then regroup and move to support the general, turning around and heading back into the center of the battlefield.
Turn six was a bit of a disappointment for both sides. Nothing on the beastmen side was in charge range or passed their leadership tests to charge. The fleeing beastmen kept fleeing. The zombies were able to get seven or so of the mindless buggers to charge the giant but no wounds and all wiped out in a single combat phase.
At the end of the formal game the match was clearly for the beasts of chaos. They had one unit fleeing but all three of the others were mostly undamaged. But the zombies saw a chance that one more turn could change that. It would have to be a perfect turn, but it was possible for a zombie victory.
Turn seven therefore saw the beastmen rally on the flank, as well as the giant and the other beastman herd charge. The giant just runs up to the necromancer and yells at him, ending that battle but causing no wounds to either side. The beastmen that charged the zombies failed to take into account the zombies striking first and the zombies are amazingly able to win the combat. The beastmen break and lose a number of their men to the zombies as they pull down the fleeing troops.
But the zombies do not fair much better. One group of zombies has finally worked it’s way around the monolith and stands ready to surprise the Tzaangors. If the Tzaangors break from combat, as they have already passed the leadership test to be charged by the zombies, they will be lost upon contact with the zombies. The corpse cart takes a direct hit from the giant’s club and even it’s regeneration isn’t enough to put it together. But the necromancer riding it was unharmed, but unable to damage the giant either. The zombies on the flank are lost in their reckless charge against the beastmen (I was hoping for a failed leadership test or similar to give the zombies a chance). And in the end, the zombies against the tzaangors are not enough to break them. It wasn’t even close.
The battle goes to the beasts of chaos.
Imperial guard and their plan
Image by jon_a_ross
Warhammer battle report Daemon Hunters vs. Imperial Guard
1000 points, spearhead deployment, Annihilation mission.
This would be the first time fielding the daemon hunters for me. The battlefield was left set up as it was for the guard vs. necron battle. The logic behind this is that the Grey Knights were not sure if it was a daemonic attack or something else that the guard were able to drive off. The goal of the Grey Knights was to claim the area, search it for clues and then, if required, save the souls of the tainted guardsmen who battled the daemons.
My Grey knights therefore launched their attack with the required two troop choices, taking the third as a fast attack and therefore able to deep strike unit. A hero in terminator armour would lead them. And a Purgation Squad and the Lance off their strike curser would be the heavy support.
The imperial guard were taking three chimera’s loaded with troops, a large block of troops on the ground and heavy weapons to guard the sides. The plan for the guard was to shift their troops into the ruins while the chimera’s curved around the battlefield sweeping up the Grey knights as they did so.
(turn 1)
Grey knights have one troop squad move forward, armed with two psy-cannons. The second troop squad, with it’s two flamers hungry for foes. The purgation squad sits on the hill and attempts to blast the guard. They have range but the damage dealt is minor.
The guard move forward. The full weight of the guard comes down on the five man grey knights unit with the psy-cannons. Only one grey knight survives.
(turn 2)
Grey knights know they are in trouble. They have lost 20% of their troops and dealt almost no damage in return. They also fail to get both of their re-enforcements. The purgation squad fires into the guard, scoring some death.
The imperial guard roll forward, their chimera wall pushing along the north side. The rest of their troops pour into the center. Weapons fire claims a handful of grey knights, dropping the grey knights down to 65% left.
(turn 3)
The grey knights get their re-enforcements, the lance blast strikes into the center temple killing 8. A grey knight squad deep strikes, lead by the terminator hero, fires into a heavy weapons team. Other light losses occur on the guard.
The imperial guard keep rolling forward like a steamroller. Another handful of Grey Knights fall.
(turn 4)
The grey knights blast into the imperial guard. The lance blasts a number, and the Grey knight with the flamer cooks some more. The psy-cannons on the hill blast another couple. The Grey knight hero and his team also add their fire into the guard. Three troops remain standing outside of the chimera. In kill points the grey knights have won, as long as they don’t get wiped out.
The chimera and guard keep rolling ahead on turn 4. They finish off the final grey knight trooper who was in the middle, as well as pick away at the Purgation squad on the hill.
(turn 5)
The Grey knights, victory close, but not close enough, fire into the chimeras trying to at least slow them down. No luck.
The guard, in turn, roll ahead with their tank wave. One chimera gets up to the grey knight purgation squad and unloads a full load of ogryn. The other two chimeras unload their loads of storm troopers on the grey knight hero and squad. It ends quickly, as the grey knights are shot to death.

The organic compound used was Aristolochia fangchi, however the scary part was that it was inadvertently used in place of a totally different herbal substance.
