Would someone clear is up for me,please?

Chia seeds are one of those gelling items that you need to soak for a few minutes to let the gel form. But to my understanding they don't need soak for long periods of time like grains and legumes.

I love making a quick breakfast pudding (S) from 3T. chia seeds and a cup or more of on-plan milk. I just soak the seeds in milk right in the saucepan for about 10 minutes, and then gently warm until the pudding is hot and thickens. Its lovely with some vanilla and fresh blueberries mixed in.

msjongg: Just wondering... Are rice noodles on plan? Nov 15, 2016 15:37:21 GMT -5

queen: Probably a good idea to start a topic asking about it. Generally, I think they want you to use the whole grains rather than something made from brown rice flour, but maybe there's more to know about it. Nov 17, 2016 0:11:45 GMT -5

queen: Got a notice that the THM website is having a big cyber-Monday sale and are offering a couple new items. They have also introduced flat rate shipping. Time to stock up on that Gentle Sweet.

mamaj123: what supplements are recommended on plan? I believe they talk about it in the original book, but I don't have mine right now Dec 5, 2016 16:50:34 GMT -5

queen: Depends on what you are looking to do. Can you start a topic about it? Dec 8, 2016 14:15:13 GMT -5

marmee: Confused about how to ask a question... Mar 27, 2017 15:22:47 GMT -5

queen: Just ask? Apr 2, 2017 22:13:14 GMT -5

marmee: Sorry to be such an... Older woman but I'm not abl to figure out how to use the forum. I have been able to read a few posts. Apr 4, 2017 6:40:01 GMT -5

marmee: One question: if I have early morning coffee with coconut oil ( or if I choose cream) are they considered a snack, should I wait 3 hours before eating? If I eat an S meal soon there after am I ok? Would that be a problem if I eat an E meal soon after? Apr 4, 2017 6:41:55 GMT -5

queen: You can post here if you like. But you can start a post by entering a forum (any of the linked titles above this shouting box). Once you are in the forum, you should see a "Create Thread" link in the title bar. Click that to get a posting screen. Apr 5, 2017 16:30:19 GMT -5

queen: If you eat an S meal within an hour of your oil/cream coffee, it is all considered the same meal. Otherwise, you need to wait the 3 hours. Apr 5, 2017 16:31:29 GMT -5

cat31: Is this an active forum? All the posts I see are old. Apr 25, 2017 9:51:16 GMT -5

timberlinemomma: hey is there any favorite NSI sweatpants meals that anyone would like to share? I am a newbie and would like this to be easy peasy no special ingredients other than the things I have in my fridge and cupboards that are on plan but not NSI. Thank you!! Oct 26, 2018 13:00:17 GMT -5

auntchocolate: I have a question i am still confused about crossover meals how exactly do i incorporate them and how often ? Dec 2, 2019 1:09:22 GMT -5

queen: If you are in weight loss mode, you avoid them. Maybe throw in one or two a month if you aren't losing well. It can help to shake things up and get losses started again. Feb 17, 2020 11:06:32 GMT -5
