Well I'm happy to report that I'm over my case of cracked corners of the lips - AKA angular chelitis which looked like the pic below. Mine was fixed by taking 5,000mcg of Superior Source biotin for 3 days. I'm hoping taking it 2 or 3 times a week will suffice, but I'll play with it and see how I feel as there doesn't seem to be a lab for this one as far as I see.

I will own up to having about 4 raw egg whites about a month ago (it's the only way to have meringue with Splenda, otherwise you have to use sugar if you're cooking it). Anyway, just don't eat raw eggs!!

Wikipedia says "deficiencies can be caused by consuming raw egg whites over a period of MONTHS to YEARS." I'm guessing 4 raw egg whites for me equated to a normy consuming them for months or years!! I think I was teetering on deficient anyway, which is why I had a box of it in the house.

ouch, looks painful - glad you are over it. I've heard the biotin makes your hair more lovely as well.

I just had my 4th cup of coffee - not too good - but I also started my cardio exercise again today. and I am going to continue, tracking how many times per week - shooting for 3 - 6.

then, hopefully, I won't feel discouraged when I miss a day.

Good for you on the exercise front.

I hope it doesn't make my hair thicker... I already get it thinned at the hairdresser's!!

 

[JackieOnLine]

maybe it will just get more shiny!

How was the cauliflower? I've been too scared of the gas to try it in any significant quantity.

 

[brooklyngirl]

I tried cauliflower in small amounts a couple months ago and I seem to be ok with it, maybe a little extra gas, but nothing uncomfortable. I still find it bizarre that cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli are ok, but spinach and lettuces aren't. Wacky insides

*the times I've made it I've used lots of butter, cream and cheese and then never eat more than 1/2 cup so that's probably at least part of the reason why I haven't had issues.
