Diet & Nutrition 1 year agoHi Guys, can any of you tell me if you had this problem? I have no issues with glucose plms. I always had good levels around 80s and 90s always no matter what I ate. Now I am on week 5 and since week 4, i have been experiencing low blood sugar and I don’t feel well anymore. I am getting headaches often and feel muscle pain and have blurred…[Read more]

I also want to add that I think corn is a huge culprit of many problems. I find that it affects hormonal issues and menstruation, etc… Also, unles the corn is not GMO and organic, I would not even have it for a holiday cheat. I took out corn for the entire family about 3 years ago and it helped every one in different ways. It really alters the…[Read more]

In reply to: cwright posted an update in the group Diet & Nutrition have any of you had those ”food should taste good” chips/crackers from costco? here are the ingredients… stone ground corn sunflower oil brown rice […] ViewWell, I don’t think those are good at all. The sugar alone should make them fly out of your hands like hot coals, but then Soy flour is really bad and there are so many grains and starches that it is likely to really throw your system off. It would be better for that to just buy some fruit or sugar snap peas or even a bag of carrots and hummus. I…[Read more]

Paolita-
I have a friend who lost about 80 pounds and always looked nice while doing it. Goodwill was her secret. It was a definite ”lift” for her to get new things and kept her focused on her ultimate weight-loss goal. When they became too big, she donated them back and got more.

You really can save tons there.

In reply to: jim posted an update in the group Diet & Nutrition can you use almond milk instead of soy milk? I have been advised that soy milk is not so good for men. ViewUnsweetened hemp milk rocks! I love it, Tempt brand is the best.. They even have an unsweetened vanilla, but be careful because it looks exactly like the sweetened vanilla. It is purple and white, where the plain one is orange and white. Anyway, I use it in the morning in my cup of hot tea and it is great, I almost don’t miss my cup of coffee and…[Read more]

I think it would be OK, but you might want to ask the nutritional coaches about that. Arrowroot, garbanzo and teff flour (in small amounts are OK.

You are correct, those flours are for the after the 6 week plan. If you stay on the basic, which is a good idea you will need to wait further. Margaret

Coconut flour is very difficult to work with. It’s very healthy though and has no gluten and lots of fiber. However, it’s seldom used alone. I think it’s recommended that you use up to 20% of your flour requirements in coconut flour. So you would have to make up the difference in other flours. It also requires extra liquid. Years ago I…[Read more]

Almond flour and coconut flour are excellent choices for the transition and maintenance part of this program. However for these 6 weeks please choose all whole foods, nothing processed for the best results. This includes all flours, even gluten free!
-
So we can not coat chicken in almond flour for the first 6 weeks? I just made a batch.
-
Yes, you may coat your chicken in almond flour. The main goal is you will remain as flour free for 6 weeks as possible with exception of this homemade almond meal ever so often. Any recipes Dr. Hyman has provided for you are ”safe.” If you make the almond flour yourself, this is best so you know exactly what it is-no additives, sweeteners etc.

thank you.

Thank you for the report. Hang in there. Many of us have had a tough two or three weeks with our energy level. Make sure your husband rests if he is tired.

Your husband is still doing well, despite the lesser need for weight loss. Remember this plan is not solely about weight. It is about what issues precede the weight.

Hi, I too had some low blood sugar issues. For me I think the PGX supplement helped the blood sugar levels. I was constipated, but after week 6 I was fine. I realized I was not eating enough food. As my meals got larger my intestines kicked into gear. I also introduced Quinoa at that time, I have since taken it out of my diet, but my gut is back to normal.
