You are probably right, Ginie. I'm just very concerned about everything related to adrenals and thyroid because my mother has had some very serious problems with hers. I'm hoping that by taking supplements (and eating healthy and exercising of course) at the first sign of trouble will help prevent it from getting serious later in life.
I've discovered that I can't stand taking uneven amounts, mentally speaking. It drives me nuts! So I decided that having 3 BO in the morning and 3 BO in the evening wasn't going to kill me. Adrenal, thyroid and probiotic, though, are taken about an hour later only 1 each, as I have found that 1 of each was more than enough.
I have also came up with some recipes to help with my breast enhancement.
1. Sweet Peanut Butter Protein Spread
1/2 Scoop of Vanilla flavored protein powder
2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter
1 Tablespoon of Honey
Mix all ingredients together. Depending on how much protein is in your powder, you could be added ten to fifteen grams to the total! I usually split this onto two sandwiches using whole wheat bread. My bread has 8 grams of protein per slice (so 16 just in the bread), 8 grams in the 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (half is 4), and 10 from my protein powder (half is 5), which comes out to 16+4+5=21 grams a sandwich.
2. Teriyaki turkey
2 oz of precooked turkey breast
1 Tbsp of teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup of warm water
1/2 packet of unflavored gelatin.
Mix water and gelatin together. Bring a lightly greased skillet to medium-high heat and brown your turkey breast. Add teriyaki sauce (add a little bit of water if your sauce is too thick to coat turkey breast) and coat turkey breast evenly. Once sauce has caramelized, remove turkey breast from pan and save for later. Add water/gelatin mixture to pan, stirring until all the delicious pan drippings have mixed in with the water. Reduce until you are left with 1/2 the amount of liquid. Add back turkey to warm it up and pour on cous-cous, rice, potatoes, steamed veggies, whatever you want to eat with your turkey.
3. Protein Pancakes
1 scoop of protein powder
1 cup of complete pancake mix
1 cup of water
Makes about 9, 3 1/2" pancakes
Stir all ingredients together until lumps disappear, being careful not to over mix. Bring greased griddle to medium heat. Pour pancake batter to desired size (I'd go with smaller pancakes because these pancakes end up thinner than normal and cook quicker too). When edges of pancake loose their glossy appearance, flip pancake. when center of pancake rises, check bottom of pancake and remove if done. grease pan and repeat.
