hi...
just a couple of questions...
anyone can answer tis....

#1) will the measurements for the BML/HPW be the same as here?
as i know 1 teaspoon in US is not the same as in Australia or here.

#2) is it ok to use blackstrap molasses?
i've read that it's a better alternative to honey & nectar. (it is more costly)

I use the teaspoon as in the cooking measuring spoons. I thought that is the same all over the world but I do not know for sure. As for cups, I use the standard 8oz cooking cup

#2) is it ok to use blackstrap molasses?

Yes, I too heard that. They say its best to get organic blackstrap molasses. But nectar has few different types. Agave Nectar is used as a sweetener whilst Glider nectar or gliderade have different functions as the latter are used to provide carbohydrate.

You mean you are giving her 2 tablespoons a day? Wow, that's a lot.

If she is still not pooing, steam a little pumpkin for her to eat. Just a little bit, yah

1 teaspoon in UK = 2 teaspoon in US
1 tablespoon in US = 3 teaspoon US

Ok ok.. Cook in hostel? Erm.. I have a heater which I don't use, if it involves boiling, steaming.. Maybe I can work something out with what I have.. Frying can't..

By the way, now there's a new issue in slurp (posted in gliver v8).. I'm really confused with all these things.. So many kinds of diet debates..

So what important is fruits and vege should be 2:1 Cal:P ratio.. 3 fruits + 1 vege + a few insects + some kibbles = fix meal.. Others are just supplements? Is small dose of raw honey recommended? Search for glider-cal, is it in powder form? What about glider-booster? Do you carry this product?
