Kela Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Wednesday Breakfast: Butternut Blueberry Breakfast Lunch: coleslaw and finished up the cabbage bean soup Dinner: A fabulous creamy lentil soup that uses canned coconut milk. I also cheated and had some pasta salad and fruit salad that my co-worker brought. Today was the last day of weight ins for the weight loss challenge. I have lost 24 lbs and 6% body fat! Pretty happy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had your omega 3 index tested? I had mine tested through OmegaQuant and it was at the low end of Dr. Fuhrman’s acceptable range (his range is different than OmegaQuant’s - he thinks their acceptable range is too high). I bumped up the amount of algae supplement I take and am going to retest to see if my level has risen. I am sorry to pull up the February thread, but wanted to come back to this. No, I had never had my DHA tested, or even known that it could be tested. After researching it, we decided to order the kit through Dr Fuhrman. I just got it in the mail today, which reminded me I hadn’t gotten back to this. I am anxious to see how mine is. I have had chronically low vitamin D, even with high supplementation and sun exposure. Thank you for mentioning the test, as I didn’t realize I could just order a kit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thankful for being able to test at home, as it isn’t even on the radar of any doctors in my area (which is scary, since I believe it was Dr. Greger who said that both omnivores and plant based eaters tend to be deficient, and everyone should be tested). OmegaQuant’s desired range is between 8-12%, but Dr. Fuhrman thinks that is too high. His desired range is 5.2-9%. Mine was in the 5’s (can’t remember the exact number), and I’m hoping it’s gone up a bit since I increased my supplement dosage. It’s on my list to order a test this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
