My Biotin Prescription lol

Aug 27, 2007

Hey kids Here is my hair tip of the day....I like Natures Bounty because it comes in the 5000mcg capsule.....One a day. 
I can swallow it just fine but I guess that depends on you. The way I have noticed the stages of hair growth start like this:

Hair slows down or stops falling out
Stubble at about 5 weeks in one or more places on the head and around the hairline
then it starts growing in nicely by 2 months

Some side effects are that you have to shave other parts of your body more often lol.....
also sometimes the hair gets greasy. 

at about 3 months you can run your hands through your hair and feel the difference in texture starting at the scalp and running it through to the ends...about an inch and a half out you should feel the hair start to get thinner and thinner til you reach the ends. this will continue to be this way so trimming it off makes it less noticable. ( can be done gradually inch at a time or a whole new do) It is important to trim the hair however because the texture change can sometimes cause breakage of the old hair. 
Biotin can change the integrity of the hair making it stronger as well as making it grow. Could come in thicker....ya never know. 

Do not waste your money on shampoo with Biotin in it...hair grows from the inside out.....hair restoration shampoo is not for people who have hair loss from surgery...thats a whole different ball of hair...wink..
Have a nice day.

MY Micromilk recipie

Happy Sunday!!!
I thought i would share my kitchen experiment with you all today. 
I am truly a pain in the butt when it comes to the protein portion of our regime.
I cant stand the protein drinks at this point they are making me way nauseated and I need my protein. The micellar milk is good but I cannot  still take  in large volumes of anything (40g of protein in 17 oz of fluid ) And i live 30 miles away from town,so i went to my kitchen to think up something, and this is what i came up with. 

I had a request for the carbs protein and calorie content of the micro milk so i have done the calculations and revised it and am posting it here and in my profile. 

Noels Micro Milk :)
8oz of skim milk 
4 scoops of Any Whey powder ( no flavor added) 
put in the blender and blend for 30 seconds 

add 4 more scoops of Any Whey powder 
blend for about 45 seconds til its well blended ... it will be very thick like a milk shake

now add another cup of milk to make it thinner and blend.

its very much like liquid creamer at this point(taste like mild canned milk)  and I put 4 tablespoons ( 2 oz ) and had a delicious foamy cup of creamy coffee that had  to 30.4 grams of protein in it. (15.4g per fluid oz)

You can use this mixture in anything that u can put  milk in but i thought it was pretty cool that u can get about 30g of protein in 2 oz of fluids that u can add to most anything. (small volume and high protein thats what im talkin bout!!!!)

I am not sure what the shelf life is yet but i put mine in a canning jar and shake it well before using it and it makes this great foam kinda like a latte I am going to try taking some of  the concoction and add in some sweetener and vanilla to it tomorrow for breakfast coffee to see how it taste.


69 calories per ounce
15.4 g protein per ounce 
11.2g carbs per ounce.

enjoy!!!



Disclaimer: my dietary measurements are rudimentary but pretty much in the ballpark.
