Questions for Dalton and AnnB

You know I suffer from A.G.E. and I wish I had a notepad at the Meetup last Saturday. Dalton-how much bioten is suggested to get my hair to come back in?   Annie-could you give me those ways to add cottage cheese to my diet? I could use the calcium and protein. I could have pmed you both but I think your advice could be useful to others on the board.

Just to interject here Debbi I also took Biotin for several months.
I was taking 5000mcg once a day now I am not taking it because my hair is returning  better than ever.
I also have been using a shampoo I got at Great Cuts cant remeber the name but will PM you when I go back and look in a few.
I have been eatting at least 6oz of regular cottage cheese every morning.
I never knew CC had so much protien.
1/2 cup has 15 grams.
I eat the regular because I need the extra calories.

Wow-your hair looks great now. I've been taking 1000 mcg of Biotin 3x a day and I could not remember if Dalton suggested 3000 or 5000. I also use Nioxin hair and scalp treatments. I am going to purchase a straw hat like Ben suggested. Yes- I just realized that about cottage cheese and Ann B. had some great ideas. Will you be home tomorrow around 12:30?I'd like to stop and spray and bring you that pot.

Sorry I did not get right back with you.
We went to Lowes and I was totally in my element amongst the flowers.
Ive been playing in my gift you gave me as soon as I got home love playing in dirt LOL
Yes Nioxin shampoo is what I have been using in fact it has been working so well I am now switching to just a regular shampoo.
One thing that helped me was having my hair cut every six to 8 weeks this seemed to allow the new hair growth to come in quicker.
Will I be home tomorrow this is up for debate.
Mother cut her foot and had to get stiches she was having them taken out today so I will call her to see if she still plans on going to the pool tomorrow.
If I take her I leave here at 1pm.

Hi Debbi!
I eat cottage cheese all the time.
I like to have it with a little pineapple juice and a few chunks of pineapple.
I used to bake a potato in the microwave and then melt cottage cheese and cheddar on top of the potato for another minute and then sprinkle with a little black pepper. Now I did try cooking a very small new potato and did the same thing and it was really good for dinner Saturday night after telling you about this at meet-up.
I also make a fake noodleless lasagna by using a little spaghetti sauce with some Parmesan cheese and cheddar and cottage cheese and heating that in a microwavable dish until the cheese is melted. This is really tasty.
fresh fruit is always good with a little cottage cheese and so are fresh berries.
Cottage cheese also mixes well with a little applesauce
It is also a good economical alternative to ricotta cheese when called for in any recipe.
Thanks for asking. It makes me feel useful. Have a great day!

Thanks, I needed to get the other ingredients straight in my head-and like I said, I think I'll use some grilled zuccini for my noodles. Yummy!

Hey Debbie, Annie pretty much covered the high points.  You should take 5000mg of Biotin daily.  You should notice results in about 30 days.  Also keep your protein above 90g a day.  Good luck. 

Thanks- I've increased my biotin.

Hey! I saw the question about Cottage Cheese!  I can tell you I use Cottage Cheese in several recipes:

I make a faux lasagna where I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta,  I make oatmeal pancakes with cottage cheese, I have a fudgecicle recipe that is AWESOME  made with cottage cheese, a mock alfredo sauce with cottage cheese...

Let me know and I'll dig up the recipes if you are interested.

I know the fudgecicle sounds gross but you'd be surprised. It comes out of the freezer just as melt in your mouth creamy and yummy and perfect for a summer treat on those hot days with a boost of protein!

I'd love the pancake, fudgecicle, and alfredo recipes! I think I've figured out the lasagna thing with AnnB's help. Do you post them here or someplace else on the sight?
Thanks
Deb
