Hey everyone!

Here’s an update after a week into my 2nd month. I haven’t had any growth since I restarted

1. My ground flaxseed went rancid. I didn’t notice that it went bad until two days ago, and I was still using it. I don’t know for how long I had been having the bad flaxseed. But this has happened before, and I knew something was off. When I had tried the program before the flaxseed was bad, but I didn’t know—and as a result I felt no growth. I also always felt sick and nauseous after taking it, I thought I started to dislike it, but once I changed the flaxseed I wasn’t nauseous or sick of it anymore.

How to tell if the flaxseed is bad:
- It will have a strong odour (it usually doesn’t smell strong)
- it will smell acidic
- the flaxseed once put into a cup of water will sink immediately

If flaxseed is good:
- it won’t smell strong
- majority of it will float in water


2. My diet, I haven’t been eating as clean as I want to lately. However, last month the growth was very strong and consistent. Even on days when I didn’t stick to my diet all the time. So I think it may be hormones, maybe my body is trying to balance out and cycle since I had such strong and consistent growth? And since I recently got off my period, maybe my body is taking its time to return to those hormone levels that are good for growth? I can’t be sure. 

I will still maintain the program and see when the growth returns. I’ll keep updating here!

Hi Maria

How have you been storing the Flaxseed and the soy flour?

I'm very curious about this because MissMadScientist suggests that it should be refrigerated. 
However on my packet of flaxseed and kinako, it just says store in a cool dry place. Nothing about refrigeration. 

What storage instructions do they have on your packet of flax and kinako?

Hi Maria,

If I understand your thread correctly, you're using Kinako soy flour and not exactly the brand Miss Mad Scientist used.  Right? Because I also want to restart this program.  The full fat soy flour she used is too much soy flour it cannot fit in my fridge at the moment...

Thanks!
