Jen, these are the veggie burgers from Costco.  Mom and Dad got them for us.  They were really tasty!  I read through the ingredients once and then threw the packaging away.  I didn't notice the soybean oil.  The brown rice flour didn't scare me because Dr. Lafferty said he could have brown rice in small amounts with plenty of fat.   Next time we make 'burgers' we'll use Mom's mushroom black bean burger recipe and swap out the bread crumbs for almond flour.  But we won't be making them for awhile though.  Quinoa still makes his numbers go higher. 

Costco is coming along though isn't it?  Maybe soon they will have stuff without soybean oil in it.  I did appreciate the organic stuff labeled in green.  We didn't find the coconut flour Lindy!!  I think it's because we went to the Spanish Fork one.  We ran out of time to hit the Orem one.  We were excited that they now have almond butter.  That's a new one for the Spanish Fork Costco.

I have to share our appointment news.  Stephen's intestine function jumped from 27% - 45% !!!!  And his liver is doing 16% better and gets to take one less liver support pill.  I was ecstatic!  I was worried that if the news wasn't terrific, he'd get discouraged.  But Dr. Lafferty seemed really pleased by his improvement.

The farther away we get from the lemon lime fast however, the higher his morning fasting blood sugar reading is.  The last week it's been 101 - 110-ish.  It actually comes down after he eats.  We were concerned and asked him about it and he said "those are perfect numbers for where you are.  I'm very happy about that"

Okay.  I'll take that!

We also haven't lost any weight since the lemon lime fast and I asked him what we could be doing better.  Here's his big tip:  Keep your eating to 8 hours a day.  So that the other 16 hours of the day your body is free to heal and burn fat.

So there you have it.
