Posted Wednesday, December 22, 2010 at 3:10 PM After the last kickstart I thought "How many kick 'starts' can one person need?" Well I may not be "starting" but I sure gets lots of good info and advice while I'm here, so count me in AGAIN! I think this is my 4th one. Vikki ~ Wild4Stars@gmail.com

Do you think pcrm will ever incorporate a nutrition page for the kickstart participants? One where we could slide whole recipes into and get a nutrition breakdown. We could put hoppin john salad in.. then say we ate .25 or .50 of the recipe. that way we don't have to go elsewhere and put in all the ingredients individually. Also i can't wait to see what input bob harper has.. This is fun.. and yes i have been trying my own recipes.. is there a place we could submitt ones that would be considered to be included sometime? I have at least one other person, maybe two that will be signing up! The support system is wonderful and you do a great job. Cynthia

Susan Levin Joined: 12/26/09 Posts: 1191	RE: Welcome (back)! Posted Wednesday, December 22, 2010 at 3:27 PM All of our recipes have a nutritional breakdown on their original pages (usually NutritionMD.org but sometimes CancerProject.org). Or were you referring to outside recipes only? If so, that would be an interesting idea. Unfortunately, the software we use to analyze recipes is research-grade and proprietary. We couldn't post it online legally. For now, if you want to see individual nutrients, you may have to do the old-fashioned way: one ingredient at a time.

Yes I realize down at the bottom is the nutritional information. I was thinking of something like what they have at mypyramid.gov You list what you ate, they tell you how it breaks down nutrionally. You can build day-by-day and then get the nutrional breakdown for the day or by the week. So if you eat 1/4 of hoppin john one day and 1/2 the next.. and then the rest the next day.. there you go.. At mypyrimid.gov you have to do one ingredient at a time. I was thinking if it was with the kickstart maybe you could just enter a recipe. Also most used ingredients would be easier to find.. soy.. etc. Yes it would be interesting for personal recipes. That is why i thought a recipe might have to be submitted for consideration. Of course then you get into copyright issues; so that might not work. Cynthia

Posted Wednesday, December 22, 2010 at 4:15 PM Susan, The email that we received announcing the coming start of the Kickstart, that has the link to "Register Now" and a link to "Join The Kickstart", do we have to click the "Join" one? Or are we, as former members, already considered joined? The reason I ask is that the last Kickstart, which was my 2'nd time, I did click the Join link, and it listed my starting member date as then, instead of the date that I initially joined. Thanks, Lauren

vegankitty Joined: 12/29/10 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 109	RE: Welcome (back)! Posted Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at 3:40 PM Hello fellow Vegans! I am not really 'starting' a kickstart, actually this is my 4th time that I am participating. I have been a vegan for last 13 months and clearly I have seen so much difference in my health and appearance. I don't really eat a lot of processed food. So apart from being a vegan, I also believe in eating natural, whole foods. I am going to start a blog to share my vegan recipes for all you wonderful people and I hope to learn and share knowledge and information with my fellow vegans! Cheers!! It is easy to be mankind, Difficult to be human Striving to become human!

The forum is one of the best parts.. i learn sooo much... people ask and answer questions that i never even thought of asking. i have told many people and encouraged just as many to check it out..even if they might turn out to be vegetarians.... it's just food.. good food.. Anyway.. i am glad to be back for my 2nd kickstart..
