There's a part 2 below with the rest on the Web page!
Cinnamon allergy
I’m Allergic to cinnamon so I can’t do this step which is a bummer. Anything else I can do? Apple cider vinegar?

I want to add ACV back into my routine!
Small wins!
Today I had an impromptu walk to the local coffee shop with a friend. I ordered an almond milk latte (knowing their almond milk is the sugar free variety). The server misheard me and I was handed a caramel latte. Not wanting to say anything because my friend had paid, I took my drink and said my goodbye for the walk back. I drank a third of it and thought, you know what I'm done, that's enough. So handed it over to my husband when I walked in the house - who loves that sort of drink. The fact I a) felt done and b) just gave it away feels amazing. I remember when I did a big sugar reset a five or so years ago, I became not bothered by sweet stuff. It had become so hard the last couple of years as I've eaten more sugar again. The fact this changed to being easier within just a few days is awesome! Does anyone else have wins from this week?

PLANT BASED - NOT ENOUGH PROTEIN
I have an "important question" (maybe it's for Saturday's Q & A training ) There is SO MUCH noise out there about food, losing weight, etc... There are doctors talking about the way to go is "Whole Food - Plant Based", Nutritarian, etc..... However, I feel that you make so much sense Nagina with EVERYTHING that you're talking about. I personally do want to NOT eat so much meat, though not give it up completely. So, when I look at what "Plant Based people" are supposed to eat, I see a HUGE deficit in their protein intake. However, these people ARE losing weight. how ?? My neighbor went on the plant based Nutritarian plan - she lost 50 lbs - looks great - energetic - she eats a large bowl of mixed fruit & oatmesl for breakfast. ?? blood sugar?? She eats a sweet potato & salad for lunch. ???? She eats beans or lentils & mixed veggies for dinner. ??? I asked her "where's your protein?" She said - veggies & beans have tons of protein, that's all I need. That is the Nutritarian Plan rec by a doctor. Yes, beans & veggies have some protein, but not nearly the 100 grams a day we should be getting, right? How many bowls of beans & veggies do you have to eat to get your protein in? AND with beans, lentils sweet potatoes, (all good!) but you're also eating more carbs, right? (as I said, my neighbor lost 50 lbs and is off of her diabetes medication and no high blood pressure --- great for her!) But, I don't get it. How? QUESTION: So, how can we eat sort of "plant based" and still get ENOUGH protein? example: a bowl of fruit & oatmeal for breakfast.....huh? that doesn't seem to be cutting it. AND how many total carbs should we eating per day? I have heard 100 grams / carbs per day max. Thanks Nagina!

I have eaten plant based and hit 120g protein each day... Gram flour pancakes in the morning, 3 bean chilli, lentil dahl... And a vegan protein shake each day. I have no idea about the carb level. - This was some years ago! My digestive system did not approve and I stopped because I couldn't handle the pain etc. Could it work for others? I'm curious to what Nagina or other professionals say!
