Requests Video - Fridge

[dorkabrain]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't boiling vegetables leave all the nutrients in the boiling water? *honestly curious* I like to micro-steam them, I find they stay more crunchy fresh that way too. I love your kitty, she's so adorable : )

[timeIezz]

thank you very much for the food charts!!!

[Nyquia]

Greggggggggggggggggg, I was thinkin y is his snacks there like he's there and voila yayyyyy it's Greg.

[romrhythm]

[AmandaSchoemer]

[rambeafer]

[dizetoot]

Looking forward to seeing the tour around the apartment vid :)

[NaeRae86]

interesting video...i freeze my english muffins and bread so when i want some i take one out and toast it..they last forever that way!

[TheCountdowntozero]

Are you not doing the raw foods thing anymore?

[antishay]

I'm working on becoming a full raw foodist by the end of 2010... so I'm about 50% right now and working my way into more and more raw.

[antishay]

There are links to all the charts in the sidebar :)

[shesakura]

Wow! That is a bunch of great ideas! Frozen watermelon! Never had pomagrante seed... and never thought about freezing bananas! I don't think frozen items are considered raw... it kills the nutrients.

[antishay]

I'm not sure if they're raw or not, but they're definitely still clean and yummy.

[jessicarabbit59]

OMG! Freezing pomegranate seeds...why didn't i think of that! I eat them daily, yet have only thought to freeze yogurt, berries, grapes, pineapple, etc...

Thanks for the idea!

[antishay]

Frozen pineapple! Great idea!

Thanks :D

[LizzieLouTx]

It's so helpful to see what you are really eating...keeping in fridge. I guess the only thing that would help would be more information on what would be a good serving size of these items.

[antishay]

That's a fair point, but really when you're eating raw, serving sizes are nearly irrelavent - at least with fruit and veggies :D

The point of the chart is not about servings per day or tracking - it's about how foods should be entered into the stomach and which ones should never touch each other in the stomach :)

[antishay]

Ah and the link in the sidebar to that chart includes a list of transit times as well - meaning how long the different kinds of foods stay in your stomach, so you can make sure to eat them diligently :)

[TheGirlygirl76]

It's nice to see you and Greg together again.

[queenie1972]

I'm ashamed all I have in my fridge is gin and tonic and some mushrooms ha ha well we've all got to start somewhere!

[adrys26]

Shanti! where did u get the food chart wow! it is very helpful! i totally did a screen shot of it it will really help me out!..by the way i RSVP'd to go to the meet up and i couldnt go i got held up at work and i ws sooo MAAAAAD ive missed all the meetups for x and y reason and i live in L.A!! will u have more soon?? :[

[antishay]

There are links to various food charts, including mine, in the sidebar :D

I hope we'll have another meetup bu the spring :D

[msixpackabs]

I never heard of many of those foods but I can definitely say you do make great choices.

Please don't ever marry a jerk who gives a shit on your effort to lose / maintain weight.

Trust D on this one.

It is way much harder to have s**ts in your refrigerator and stay "clean".

How's your exercising girl?

[MailaneLy]

since when did u n greg started dating again? I thought u said u wanted to be single for awhile, but u are, that's great cause u two make a cute couple! :)

[msixpackabs]

Greg came to the meet up...they're just friends.

[ming1maizy]

What is the down side of combining these foods? If someone does not have digestive issues does it matter and why?

[antishay]

When miscombining food, you slow down and hinder digestion and nutrient absorption... so ideally you only let matching foods or same foods combine in the stomach.

:)

[ginagurl23]

I thought you were not dating greg. just wondering if you were again if you have a ton of his stuff..lol

[eyefidelity]

lol Greg's bodyshot complete.

[antishay]

haha YES

[TaintedWitch666]

I know about the food, mine mine mine, someone else's food. lol, i live my family to cut down on costs so 4 other people's food. No one else in my family in on (though they should be) a diet.

[ampkg]

very healthy fridge

[waywardgypsy]

LOL! That's kinda how I feel about my fridge... this is mine, this good thing is mine, these veggies and fruits are mine... and this crap over here, that's my husband's. :) I love the Trader Joe's soups too, but we don't have a TJ's here in OK. I make do with the Pacific Foods organic soups - they're ALMOST as good.

[antishay]

lol

I would love to try the PF soups!

[paul20072007]

yummy

[ImperfectJourney]

Great stuff~

Greg~ Pork Rinds=  HURL!!!!!

[antishay]

[yazmin32487]

[antishay]

I put links to the chart I have, plus great more detailed ones in the sidebar. :D

[yazmin32487]

Greg has invated your kitchen! lol

[antishay]

lol

[rbsbdb]

Are yo back with Greg?

[antishay]

Not as far as I know!

[jeninjimi]

Thank you for doing that, that was really cool and I really want one of those charts! Your bf (?? don't know if he is but appeared so) is really hot- was he with you before you lost your weight? None of my business, but really curious...thanks :)

[antishay]

He's my ex - thesiegster on YouTube - he and I were together for a lot of weight loss, but not since the beginning, no.

:)

[sweetacapella]

do you try not to microwave food? apparently it destroys 100% of the nutrients...

[antishay]

Yeah, I rarely use the microwave... sometimes to heat up beans, and occasionally for the frozen pizzas, but almost never except to heat up water for tea :P

[hellohaze]

do yo still drink muscle milk

[antishay]

no I don't anymore

[Jessluvspugs2]

How often to you let yourself "miscombine" a meal? I'm trying to follow food combining but I find that a lot of my favorite foods (like pizza) are bad combinations. Are you really strict with it?

[antishay]

I miscombine every day. When I'm going strong and doing 80% raw or more, I miscombined maybe once or twice a week, max... only if I had to. By January I will be back in that place :D

[alycat25]

I had never heard of freezing watermelon before. It sounds good!

[antishay]

It's like CANDY - especially if the watermelon is a bit overripe.

[itsashley101]

Are you and Greg back together??

[antishay]

No :P

[nichole307]

Shanti. Was That Malibu Coconut Rum..? You and i Would Get along So Well Together :) Yay For Shanti, Greg, and Maddy! and Finally.. apartment Tour..

Signed,

nitteh (lol)

[antishay]

<33! LOL

[mrgranda]

Yes, please tell us where you got the chart. I'm sure with a little research online I could find it and print it out but I think you should talk a little bit more about the idea behind the mixing of the foods. That's an interesting idea that I've never heard before.

Thanks for showing us a personal glimpse into your life.

~Mandy

[antishay]

You're welcome :P I'm glad you liked the video! I should spend some time talking about food combining - but you can read ALL about it if you just google "food combining chart raw" - great reads online.

I put links to the chart I have, plus great more detailed ones in the sidebar. :D

[starsandastralcars]

why dont you just freeze the english muffins so they don't go bad..?

[antishay]

I don't know - now I will!

[allisonpacino]

Bite his toe kitty!

[TheLazyLillypad]

Where did you get the chart? I would love to get one too!

Thanks for sharing!! :D

[antishay]

Yay :) I put links to the one I have, plus great more detailed ones in the sidebar. :D

[TheLazyLillypad]

Sorry - I didn't notice it over there!!! Will use mind powers for good and READ before asking questions! :D

Have a wonderful, fantastic day!

[antishay]

They weren't there in the beginning :O

No worries!

[heatheroo35]

Where would I find the food combination chart?

[antishay]

I put links to the one I have, plus great more detailed ones in the sidebar. :D

[cbsusieq]

what happened to your cats leg?

[antishay]

She got a bunch of shots so they shaved the area - to stab her with needles less :) She has thicker skin than normal, apparently.

[bizarrarra]

how do you make banana bread??

[antishay]

I need to get the recipe from my mom again! I love baking it... it's vegan and wonderful. Maybe I'll share it in a vid someday :P

[antishay]

I use the microwave a few times a month for frozen pizzas...? That's all.

[gusto68]

Alright then ;o) Many ppl don't realise how bad it actually is, as I can see on the ratings... Scary really! Ppl should know that it kills almost everything in the food, well if you got the education to know I suppose...

[danielledadi]

Hello

[MixedBean]

o yeah i freeze my bananas when they get old too! the banana bread is always better that way

[xglennis101x]

[wherearemyfritos]

@xglennis101x There's the meet up. They're friends. It doesn't mean they're back together. I mean, I don't know. They might be. I'm just sayin', lol.
