Thisis my third T2 Christmas and in past years my Christmas stocking would be stuffed with chocolates and carby stuff. This year my husband filled it with Beef Jerky, a HUGE tub of unsalted nuts, 90% Lindt chocolate, a bag of macadamias, a couple bottles of no carb beer and a huge jar of mixed...

I make a 'milk' with water and pure cream, add a teaspoon or so of dutch cocoa powder and a sprinkle of monkfruit sweetener, warm it up and yum, hot chocolate

I must remember to put Narwhal on my shopping list.

10 100 gm brocolli gives you 82 mg of Vitamin C, 100gm apple gives you 11mg. I know which one I will be eating.

Sorry, I don't eat any processed or frozen or pre-prepared foods, so adding salt to my very healthy fresh food is just what I do. And frozen meals are processed foods too

Actually if you are cutting out the processed foods, that are high in salt, you will need to add salt to your food as our bodies do need salt.

Around 8 - 10gm a day. Not hard to do really, eat lots of green vegies.
