What Is TMG (Trimethylglycine)

I'm taking TMG to help my liver get healthy. I take Trimethylglycin (TMG) 1000 mg of Trimethylglycin (TMG) 3 times per day. And my tmg comes with Vitamin B12 - 500 mcg. So I get the B12 that is good in reducing Homocystein. Homocystein causes your arteries to get inflamed. This leads to heart problems. I am mostly worried about the health of my liver. I am trying to do a low carb, high fiber diet with the supplements that encourage liver health. So TMG, Vit E, Bitter Melon, Chromium Picolinate, Vit D, Magnesium, and Milk thistle I also take Metamucil for fiber and Manako prebiotic Psyllium. Actually both are Psyllium. These are non-water soluble fiber that help lower your cholesterol and keep your colon clean. I think the Atkins diet is low carb, but not high enough in fiber. Both low carb and high fiber help lower your risk for heart problems and diabetes. But most people try to get the fiber from high carb sources like breads. If you have insulin resistance like I think I do, you should avoid carbs. But you can get fiber in vegetables and nuts and seeds too. But in the early part of Atkins, you cannot have nuts and seeds. So I'm taking fiber. I'm more closely following The Liver Cleansing Diet by Sandra Cobot. I do think Atkins had it right. You cannot maintain a low cal diet long term. The best way to control appetite is by eating protein and restricting carbs.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
