yes i eat that as inbetween snacks...but i have a problem with eating...cannot bring miself to do the couple hour thing...so i have to curtail the sweet potato snacking as wid di starch n sugar , mi body would convert to fat fi storage tinking mi starving that...that is y i am gaining weight...wid age mi metabolism slowing...i have a habit of drinking 8 shots of expresso every morning n not eating alll day...den wen mi in bed reading, mi would snack of nuts...i love cashew n even though i would buy raw cashew , wich i love, u can see how mi body badly trained...

who memba eating freshly picked cashew fruit a yaad...who memba how u had to be careful eating it as di oil it released would burn u mout carna...an afta u eat di fruit u would roast di seed...said way , roasting jackfruit seed...memories

Re: finally gave in n added brown rice to mi diet

just reading this thread. u good vannie, admire your willpower and commitment to toning up, and its great that u are seeing results.

the cashew thing *hands-up* yes, mi use to eat the cashew fruit too and feel the burn on my mouth. the volatile cashew oil, of course, caused that. the boys would cut the cashew in half and press on their forearms, and the oil would burn the kidney shape into their skin.

re ur diet - i loved all the smoked fish and cheese too, helped me when i was doing atkins, but they are bad for the pressure.

keep up the good work!
