Bread Substitute?
Steve W
Sunday, November 09, 2008 at 08:34 PMHi Vicki,
I stopped eating sugar and refined flour products about 11 months ago. At first I thought there was no way I could go without pasta, bread, pizza etc. The only thing I eat now that resembles bread is "Flat Out" brand thin breads. Thea are low carb and look like wrap. I use them for sandwiches and if I get a hankering for crackers, I heat them up in the oven until they are crispy - don't let them get brown though, it changes the taste.
I lost 125 pounds in 7 months and my cravings have changed. Instead of cravings for bread or pasta,I get a serious craving for salad with feta cheese and walnuts, or chicken wings. I also get cravings for sugar free jello which is about the only thing that has a sweet taste that I eat.
I have tasted some muffins made with soy flour that my sister made.I think the recipe came from the Stellastyle.org website.

Wheat free
Duffy
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at 10:58 AMI've been gluten free for only seven days and already lost 10 lbs. Still drinking beer, diet pepsi, meat, etc., pretty much everything I have always eaten. When I get a hankering for bread or crackers, which I do every hour, it seems, I eat a Nature Valley Oats and Honey crunchy granola bar. It does have sugar and honey in it, so its not a perfect food source, but it's wheat free. So it keeps me from reaching for bread.

Plant sources of Omega-3 and -6 as effective?
Todd
Sunday, August 30, 2009 at 12:40 PMWas wondering if sources such as hempmilk/hempseed or flax are as effective in delivering the Omegas as is fish oil? A cup of hempmilk has about as much of the omegas as the Dr.'s recommendation in the article.
Cheers!

Friday, November 06, 2009 at 01:43 PMNo. The Omega 3s in hemp or flax are ALA and this, while beneficial in other respects, does not have the same benefits as the DHA and EPA Omega 3s in fish oil or algae. You can get DHA and EPA supplements extracted from Algae now. Use a search engine to find them. Fish do not synthesize DHA and EPA. They get it from eating algae.
I have dry eye problems. Taking flax oil and hemp oil was no help. Taking fish oil capsules was dramatically beneficial.

I would like to know what patients substitute for bread. I can buy wheat free bread (tastes awful!) but even that has cornflour in it. I find going without bread for any length of time really unpleasant so am looking for a good substitute. Has anyone made bread with rise flour for example? Help!
