“Believe it or not, a lot of your brain is made of fat (about 60%)! The neurons in the brain are coated with a protective, fatty coating called myelin that “shrinks” when you lose excessive amounts of weight. So it’s not surprising that brain scans of patients with anorexia nervosa or bulimia show brain atrophy, which is reversible if the woman gains weight.”
From the book “The New Feminine Brain” by Mona Lisa Schulz, M.D. Ph.D.

How to make nut milk
I haven’t tried this yet but I think the nut pulp that’s leftover can probably be used as an alternative for almond flour in cake recipes.
Simple flax seed crackers
Made of only 2 ingredients:
- ground flax seeds
- water
Cover a volume of ground flax seeds with the same volume of water (for ex 1/2 cup of ground flax seeds with 1/2 cup of water) and allow to soak for 1 1/2 hours. The flax seeds are going to absorb all the water. You can add some spices of your choice (cumin, paprika, dried garlic etc.) to give the recipe your own twist.
Spread the mixture about 3 millimeters (1/8 inch) thick on a non-stick parchment paper. It’s important to use a non-stick parchment paper ; it makes it much easier to take off the flax seed cracker layer when it’s done.
Bake in the oven for 20 min at 180 degrees Celsius. After the 20 min, turn the flax seed layer over and bake it for an extra 10 min on the other side. [If your oven can cook food at a lower temperature you may want to try to bake it at a very low temperature for a longer period of time to preserve the qualities of flax seeds’ healthy fats. Flax seeds are rich in polyunsaturated fat.]
Once the flax seed layer seems crunchy and crispy, slice the crackers using a pair of scissors. If you used 1/2 cup of flax seeds, you get about 10 crackers.

Serving sizes for nuts and seeds (from Jillian Michaels’ book “Master your metabolism”)
Hi! First of all, I love your blog! You seem like such a sweet person in all your question responses! I have a quick question about nuts! Usually I have a salad for lunch with walnuts, raisons and almonds. And then after school, I usually have some walnuts and almonds to nibble on again. I am wondering if I am eating too much nuts, and whether that has a negative impact?
Hi! Nuts are super healthy (if they’re unsalted of course) but the fact is that you can consume too much of a “good thing.”
Nuts are very calorie dense (high in fat, low in water), so eating large amounts can easily add an extra several hundred calories a day to your diet.
Doctors recommend limiting your intake to about one-fourth of a cup of nuts or seeds per day if you are watching your weight. I personally try to limit myself to 25 almonds per day (but I sometimes eat more :).
When you nibble on nuts, it’s very easy to overeat them: try to include water-rich foods that are less calorically dense like fruits or vegetables when eating nuts. For example, snack on an apple with a few nuts instead of just eating the nuts alone. This can help physically satisfy you without overdoing it calorically.
If you’re trying to lose weight, having your lunch salad topped with walnuts and almonds is okay but nibbling on walnuts and almonds after school is sabotaging your progress. You can go for a cup of unsweetened fat free Greek yogurt instead.
I hope this helps a bit,
