ok. This is probably going to be a silly question, but how does one soak nuts? I tried soaking some walnuts a month ago. By the next day, it came out really soggy & smelled like it was rotting.
What I did was put some walnuts in a jar and some water in it 2x the nuts. Covered it. Help! After my fast, I have to do some major exercising & need to up my calories. Plus, I don't like the taste of avocadoes. Inexpensive would be great as well!
I love peanuts, but I heard they were bad for me. Any other suggestions on how to up my calories but not spike my blood sugar? I'm so sad I have to give up bananas!

why do you have to give up bananas? Why are you cutting calories? Have you had a chance to read Alissa's book?

To be perfectly honest, I never soak the walnuts. I soak cashews (usually) and definitely the almonds. Soaked almonds are TONS nummier than just raw

oh no! I'm not trying to cut calories at all but trying to up them! The rate I'm going, my daily calorie intake is really low! After I'm done fasting, I plan on doing lots of aerobics & strength training for an upcoming event(I'll call it that!). I need mucho calories to keep myself functioning at optimum levels!
I'm cutting out bananas, b/c I don't want to mess w/ my blood sugar. I just want my body to have a easy time detoxing. I'm too lazy to chop up veggies for my sushi.
So I like eatting things that will not require me to do any chopping, & I don't have too much money to go out & buy any chopping gadgets let alone food.
Eatting walnuts RAW is too hard for my teeth!! I might try almonds. Any more suggestions or insights?
