In my last post, I discussed how, in my program for reversal of heart disease, we follow what I call the “Rule of 60”: LDL 60 mg/dl, HDL 60 mg/dl, triglycerides 60 mg/dl, or 60:60:60.   We do this in order to achieve greater control over heart disease risk. Achieving these values ...
  1. wheat and cornflour free diet

    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!

    using rice flour and eating rice cakes help.  You can put much the same food on rice cake as you can bread.  Bread your fish with rice flour.  Very light and crispy.

  2. Bread Substitute?

    Hi 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.

    I know of two elderly people that pop them like candy.  I feel like they can have a problem with this are there any side affects or signs to this starting to happen.

  4. Wheat free

    I'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.

    I would like to do this but where do I begin to learn what has wheat in it? I can assume things like english muffins, wheat bread, but are there specific cereals to avoid or all of them? Can I still have oatmeal? My biggest challenge would be finding replacements for breakfast - any suggestions?

    Corn Chex, Rice Chex and Kix are all wheat free. So is oatmeal.

  5. Plant sources of Omega-3 and -6 as effective?

    Was 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!

    No.  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.
