Question I have... What's the best recipe for chocolate chip Medifast cookies? Hoping for any response. Second question of mine... So...can anyone give me the WHOLE low-down on Maca? I have googled, searched and, well, I am still confused. I have some and would like to start taking it for energy and hormone balancing (thyroid) and it supposedly has vitamins/aminos as well...so what's the deal? Is it ONLY a sexual enhancing and/or female hormone balancer? If so, I'm out some dollars.... |

I'm stumped. I'm not so sure what is the right answer to your question. I'll do some poking around and get back to you if I bump into an anything. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably could answer your Medifast question..

From what I've read up on maca...it's safe to give to children and says that children with attention/concentration issues, it helps with that...

Wonderful awesome posts, reminded me of why I love the stuff so much. ALTHOUGH, I will say that for some Maca can be a tummy irritant if it's introduced to the Medifast diet too sudddenly. By suddenly, I mean tablespoons at a time, etc. You may have to build up gradually to the levels of Maca other Raw Foodists consume..
I learned this the hard way, lol! I had been reading one of Shazzie's first posts after she discovered Maca and how she was eating it by the handful, plain! I will never forgive her for that, because I actually did take a spoonful of straight maca powder and try and eat it. URRRRRGHGHGHGHG. Nasty.. After that I blended it smoothies two or three tablespoons at a time and had persistant and really unsettling stomach pains. The days I went w/o Maca, no stomach pains. I almost gave up on the whole deal until I read a wonderful post about slowly introducing superfoods into your diet. I started a teaspoon at a time, and now I have a serious maca habit. It's changed everything around, maca really is wonderful, but go slow. Be gentle!. Much love for a great question,. Em.. |

I've been having one to two tablespoons a day, one tablespoon at a time. Is there some optimal levels of maca? That was enough to help with my cysts like I posed in my miracle of the ovaries thread, but what about other benefits?..

Would headaches be a side effect of too much Maca? I have had one since yesterday...started shortly after I had my smoothie with 1tsp of Maca and I still have it 18hrs later. I'm about ready to take something for it because it is sooooo bad!..
