Recipes 3 hours, 25 minutes agoI found green tea rather blah and I never liked the taste much. I do like chai tea though and found this wonderful recipe to add to green tea to spice it up! I am also enjoying it more with warm coconut milk. I may improvise and add vanilla bean eventually. Its very forgiving. I am sure it would be great with a small touch of honey as well @…[Read more]

I’ve been a Type 2 diabetic for 15 years. For the past 5 years, I’ve been doing well. I lost over 30 lbs and got off insulin. I eat mainly a plant-based diet and am physically active. I am 4′ 10″ tall, my BMI is 21 and I weigh 106 lbs. About 6 months ago, my A1C jumped from 6.3 to 7.6! I’ve redoubled my efforts regarding diet and recently…[Read more]

Recipes 3 hours, 35 minutes agoI am finding more questions as I read through the recipe book. Almost every recipe includes olive (or other) oil. Do all of you use that much oil in your diets? The calories seem rather high to me. I have to admit that my ‘norm’ has been use of deprivation diets so I may not be thinking clearly about this. I would like to hear from you…[Read more]

I don’t have the recipe book and so I can not answer your question about the book..but healthy oils are important to include in your diet…fat doesn’t make you fat.. my good fats include a tsp of olive oil in my salad two times a day, 1-2 ounces of nuts a day , 1 tsp flax seed in my ultra shake in the morning and the fat that is in my…[Read more]

Good information, Nicole. I was afraid my previous eating patterns were influencing my fears about fats. I too have terrible dry skin, especially living in dry, hot Las Vegas. The reason I got the cookbook is to learn about new foods and appetizing ways to cook them within the program. I had never eaten (or heard of) many of the vegetables and…[Read more]

Because I am now in month 11 I do use regular butter at times on my veggies. I use coconut butter for all my stir frying..get a good one from a health foods store . I actually never thought of using coconut butter but i have used olive oil on my steamed vegetables. You wil want to be diary and gluten free for the first six weeks at least. Nicole

Recipes 7 hours, 9 minutes agoHappy weekend all,
I received my BSS Cookbook and am deep into preparing my grocery list. I start the eating plan on Monday with Week 2 of Prep. (I’m not sure why it isn’t called Week 1 of the Basic Plan! LOL) I have a couple of questions:
The book and the Nutrition Basics download list carbs per meal as 15 grams. It further states, ” As…[Read more]-
Hi Shelly – I usually use what is recommended on the protein powder I am using. my current protein powder recommends 1 scoop. that is 130 calories and 7.5 carbs ..I add 1 tsp ground flax seed and 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk that brings carbs up to 10 and calories up to 199. I usually have 1 ounce of nuts before my walk so I have enough fuel…[Read more]

6 Weeks Program Group 9 hours, 3 minutes agoHi All. Hope you are having a great Saturday. Mine is filled with grief as we lost one of our beloved cats unexpectedly yesterday in an accident. As I did not have much appetite and my sleep/stress levels way off, my calorie count was way under plan and I was tempted to act out on carbs at times (but did not). I also revisited green tea today…[Read more]

My condolences, Rich. My animals are some of my best friends, so I know how difficult the loss of your kitty is. Kudos for not letting it push you off track. Shelley

Rich I am so sorry to hear about your cat. They become so much a part of your family and it is so hard to accept. Try to remember all the smiles your loving cat gave you.

Sorry for your loss.
On the subject of green tea, you might givek Tazo’s Zen green tea a try. Very smooth but substantial. My fave, though I ’m not

Welcome GKS – if you follow the blood sugar solution advanced plan you should be able to bring down your AIC to a more acceptable range. I have been on the advanced plan for 11 months now…and am doing just fine with out dairy and gluten . Most importantly is how good I feel. I was able to get off my blood pressure medication in week 2-3 of the…[Read more]
Thanks, Nicole! I appreciate the encouragement and good report. When you got off your prescription meds, did you go through your doctor first? I’m not sure exactly how to do this and I’m concerned my doctor may not be 100% on board with all the supplements, but I don’t care. His pharmaceutical route just doesn’t cut it with me! When I had my…[Read more]
Hi Kathy – we have to be in control of our own destiny. I followed my doctors and diabetic nurses instructions for way too long – gained way too much weight and was sick every day..then I started doing my research . Doctors including mine believe that people don’t change..they get on health kids and loose a little weight but eventually fall back…[Read more]
