The Whole30 website reads as follows on the reintroduction phase: Days 1–30: Original Whole30 elimination Day 31 (optional): Reintroduce added sugar all by itself Days 32–33: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 34: Reintroduce legumes all by itself Days 35–36: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 37: Reintroduce non-gluten grains all by themselves Days 38–39: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 40: Reintroduce dairy all by itself Days 41–42: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 43: Reintroduce gluten-grains all by themselves Day 44–45: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 46 (optional): Reintroduce alcohol all by itself Day 47–48: Back to Whole30 elimination You can break this schedule down ever further if you like: splitting out artificial sweeteners from more natural sugars, reintroducing corn separately from other non-gluten grains, or reintroducing gluten-free alcohol separately from gluten-containing beer. The more carefully and patiently you reintroduce, the more you’ll learn from your experience. Just remember to return to the Whole30 elimination phase for 2-3 days between each Reintroduction food group. And if at any point you feel like you haven’t adequately recovered from the effects of the reintroduced foods, give yourself a few more days of Whole30 elimination before you bring in another.

Brodo broth has become the latest diet and cleanse, for $9 a cup, you can swagger down the street with your hipsters holding your cup of broth.  Or, make your own using his Brodo book with the recipes below, like we do, and save yourself a lot of money for a little investment of time and get the same great benefits.  The Brodo website states the following: Bone Broth Benefits A well-made broth like Brodo offers all the benefits of meat without the bulk. Protein-Packed Bone broth is loaded with proteins that your body can rapidly absorb. In liquid form, these proteins are broken down into valuable amino acids like proline, glycine, glutamine, and arginine. Your body needs these important building blocks for healthy skin, bones and joints. Brodo bone broth is a low carb, low calorie, zero-sugar food. Our broth is a great meal replacement—it has more protein and fewer carbs than green juice, and is less likely to cause blood-sugar levels to spike. Gut Healer Brodo is one of the best things you can consume to maintain a healthy gut, which is essential to overall wellness. The gelatin in Brodo contains glutamine, which effectively plugs the holes in the lining of the digestive tract like spackle on a pitted wall. The gelatin in bone broth also helps during digestion, making it easier to break down food and absorb nutrients. Beauty Booster Healthy hair, skin & nails require collagen—a crucial protein found in the tendons & ligaments of beef and poultry. When you cook down bones for broth, that collagen breaks down into gelatin (which is easier for the body to digest). Detox Aid Brodo is a natural detox aid. The glycine in our

Symbolism in Native Art: Thunderbird and Ko'lus The Native Thunderbird Symbol holds significant meaning, representing power, protection, and strength. Regarded as the most potent of all spirits, the Thunderbird can transform into human form, symbolized by opening its head like a mask and shedding feathers like a blanket. Lightning snakes under its wings serve as both tools and weapons. The Thunderbird, a mythical creature, exerts dominance over natural forces in the Pacific Northwestern Mountains. It creates thunder by wing flapping and shoots lightning from its eyes to ward off hunters. Rainstorms produced by the Thunderbird nourish the earth, enabling vegetation growth. With a wingspan as large as two canoes, it can carry a killer whale with its talons. Only powerful chiefs and families incorporate the Thunderbird into their crests, distinguished by curved horns on its head. In times of food shortage, Northwest Coast people sought the Thunderbird's help, leading to an agreement that it would only be depicted atop totem poles with outstretched wings. The legend recounts the Thunderbird's transformation into a human to rescue the Great Chief during a great flood. After finding survivors, the Thunderbird initiated the Thunderbird dance, a tradition passed down through generations. The Ko'lus, a young Thunderbird, akin to a sibling of Thunderbird, has a thick coat of white down, making it heat-prone. Similar to its elder counterpart, the Ko'lus can transform into a human when overheated by shedding its down. Revered as a protector spirit, the Ko'lus is often associated with tribal or clan origins, as it descended from heaven, shedding its coat to become a human founding ancestor.

From https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/advice/camaro-vs-mustang-vs-challenger?slide=12 The Ford Mustang is our overall winner for its performance in key areas such as safety, handling and interior quality. It nails a good mix of performance, comfort and space, which makes it a great everyday sports car. The Dodge Challenger managed to win in several categories as well, but its large size and dated interior held it back from true greatness here. Of course, none of this is to say that the Chevrolet Camaro is a bad car. It's a good sports car, but it just couldn't keep pace with its two closest rivals in key categories.

Wait ... The gifts of "12 Days of Christmas" are birds? They're ALL birds and they were supposed to be EATEN? Harambe · Dec 18, 2023 · NottheBee.com I, Harambe, saw this viral video the other day about the "12 Days of Christmas" gifts ALL being birds and I decided I had to do a little digging because the Not the Bee folks need to know about this. It's always been a joke about the song that after 4 days of birds, it must have been a relief to get the five golden rings. Except, according to some theories, EVERY gift in the 12 days of Christmas is a different bird. The song was originally written in a children's book called Mirth Without Mischief way back in the 1700s and some people believe that each day refers to a different bird that would be given to be prepared for a Christmas feast. (SORRY, NOT SORRY, VEGANS!) Obviously, you've got a partridge in a pear tree, 2 turtle doves, 3 French hens, 4 calling birds, all of which are (delicious) birds, but the first gift that isn't clearly ornithological are the five gold rings. However, it's not certain whether the gold rings should be interpreted literally. If we continue with the medieval banqueting theme, then they are most likely to be common, or ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) which were introduced to England from China in the Middle Ages. Ringneck Pheasant Then we get back to the obvious birds, geese a-laying, swans a-swimming, and we come to the 8 maids a-milking. This is the most difficult of all the potential birds to figure out since the authors didn't really lay out exactly what they were referring to.

Many have owned a Smith Shield since its debut in 2012. It was a game changer and a significant upgrade over other single-stack 9mm options available at the time. Over the years, the micro 9 market exploded with new competitors, but none captured most people's interest enough to consider an upgrade. That all changed with the introduction of the Sig P365XL in June 2019. It offered features that no other micro 9 had managed to provide, and many felt they justified an upgrade. This post will serve as an evaluation and comparison of features, performance, costs, and the intangible aspects of both firearms.  Especially now with integrated red dots. https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/m-p-9-shield-m2.0-integrated-crimson-trace-red-laser   https://youtu.be/mQyAIN5GCOk?si=y-CrPBlwNTsbNzQ- https://youtu.be/8fZwNK7QlJQ?si=EHYWQp1Ra8eQs02i
