satisfied7 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thank you! Are they chemicals or sugar or both? Also, where do you post general questions? Like I want to ask someone to please explain SWYPO. Where would that go as a general question? I know what it stands for but don't understand. Yes I am blonde! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan W Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Have you read the book? If not, I highly recommend it or go through the info at the top of the site. On my phone so I am not being very clear about where the info is. Yes sugar and many chemicals are not allowed. Coconut milk in the can with nothing added except guar gum is what you want. Most of the stuff in cartons is yucky. SWYPO means trying to recreate something real with paleo ingredients. Trying to make a cake or muffins for example. I would answer your question about which area to ask questions in but I can't tell where we are on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satisfied7 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks Susan! I am reading the book now and I have the daily emails coming! I am on day 12 and I have not ventured far from approved, meat, veggies and fruit. So I am not good at reading labels and knowing exactly what is allowed! The book has so much information which is great but I am a little slower to take it in. Thanks for the SWYPO explanation. Makes perfect sense! Btw, we are in "can I have ------?" section of the website. Thank you again! Everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Oh that is the perfect place to ask. You are brave, I had to read the book before I started. Never hesitate to ask questions. This is a very supportive group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silk Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 oh. I read the swypo article and now I see it didn't understand it, actually. I'll just pretend I didn't read it, because it's been so many years since I had pizza, I don't actually long for pizza. I remember the last time I had it, it tasted like greasy cardboard... and I like things made with almond flour. So, the 'it isn't going to be good enough' argument doesn't work for me at all; I'm wired in the opposite direction now. But on the general questions theme, I have just been sticking to the basic outline too. I'm on day 17 and I'm starting to wonder about things that aren't on the list and aren't off the list -- raw cacao nibs, micro-algae, coconut kefir, herbal remedies -- I've had a wicked headache for a few days now, and I see lots of posts about wicked headaches, so today I ditched the black tea with coconut milk and made a batch of ginger and tumeric tea. There's posts about being sure you eat enough, but I'm feeling like I've been eating too heavily for me, so I'm hanging out with a batch of bone broth chicken soup with carrots and lots of greens. Compliant foods, but doesn't fit the 'hand' model per se, or at least not that I can tell, since it's soup. But I'm feeling like my digestive system needs some rest and I may be mildly dehydrated from drinking black tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcbrien0119 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I bought this tonight. It doesn't have any of the ingredients listed in a prior post. Is it compliant or non-compliant? I'm getting different answers everywhere. I thought I'd go with the experts. Ingredients: ORGANIC COCONUT MILK (WATER, ORGANIC COCONUT CREAM), NATURAL VANILLA FLAVOR, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, MAGNESIUM PHOSPHATE, GUAR GUM, XANTHAN GUM, VITAMIN A ACETATE, VITAMIN D-2, L-SELENOMENTHIONNE (SELENIUM), SINC OXIDE, FOLIC ACID, VITAMIN B-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The Natural Vanilla Flavor is likely vanilla extract - If you can, confirm that with the company as that would rule it out (extract). Otherwise, it looks compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcbrien0119 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 So I emailed the company today and below is their response... Does this mean it's not vanilla extract? Hello Michelle, Thank you for your email. The natural vanilla flavor comes from botanicals and extracts from natural sources only. We have lined up our natural vanilla flavoring used in some of our products to use in all of our products. We still always follow the organic standards with our product plant-based ingredients and we purchase our natural flavors from only a handful of companies with whom we have developed a trusting relationship. Also, as a key component of our non-GMO project compliance we strive to identify and utilize ingredients that are not corn based. I hope this helps clear things up!

Tina R Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Check out paleo moms new post on home made coconut milk using shredded coconut. I also make my own almond milk, I add less water than recommended so it thicker. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOakley Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Tina R, Do you have a recipe for your thicker almond milk? I currently buy organic almond milk from my grocery store (HEB) and have always wanted to try homemade, but I like it a little thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
