Recipes 1 year agoAnyone get a little frustrated when they think that they have done really well only to realize what you ate was NOT allowed? Geez I got rice milk – oh it was not brown lol. I got rice protein powder only to realise it was not brown… Got Almond milk but oh it is not organic – ahhhhhhhhhh.
Seriously if everything is not organic is that a problem?-
There are some things I didn’t throw out. My almond milk is not organic and I figured I would use it then switch to organic. I don’t use it much now that I’m not eating cereals or making sugar free puddings. I also have a very expensive supply of whey protein powder I hope someday to be able to add back in. I’ll just have to see. I don’t…[Read more]

Agreed with everyone above…do the best you can! I had a box of sweetened almond milk left over that was about half full. I didn’t realize it had sugar in it until there was only about a quarter left. So I used the last of it in a protein shake yesterday, and I don’t think I am any worse for wear. Then I just made sure that I bought the…[Read more]

Sometimes ”organic” is more of a marketing strategy than an actual commitment for some companies. Yup, just do the best you can with what is available. (and affordable)

I’ve seen a recipe in BSS book with Mirin, too, which is a sweet Japanese cooking wine. Perhaps the book is designed for all phases of diet lifestyle. Guess a little bit every now and then is okay.

DIDN’T REALIZE PEANUT BUTTER WAS OUT. TIME TO REREAD.

a natural peanut butter shouldn’t be out- it doesn’t have sugar in it.

Thanks for the note. I buy natural peanut butter-no sugar, no salt. I wondered if it was banned for allergy reasons, like some of the other things we shouldn’t be eating. I guess my weird peanut butter veggie soup is a go. I made a peanut butter/chicken broth soup years ago. It was a typical southern recipe. Although it tasted good, it was…[Read more]

If you go to your profile go to download then download Nutrition Basics for Everyone – this will give you an idea of what you can have. Advanced program is much more restricted. Good luck!

I love salmon patty’s, wish I didn’t have an allergic kid!

I just read this again, I should say he is allergic to nuts and shell fish I couldn’t add the almond meal.

Maybe you could add whole wheat bread crumbs to his instead of the almond meal? Or is he so allergic others can’t have it in the same room?

-
Sounds like a great recipe with the spices I love to use. I wonder if they could be made and oven-fried by, perhaps, coating them lightly with the almond meal you mentioned, and baked at around 425 for 20-30 minutes? I am going to give it a try. I have never eaten my arugula any way other than raw in a salad. Do you just lightly wilt it with…[Read more]

I thought there was also mention of 70%chocolate being ok for a treat I need to search again.-
Yup, on page 201–chocophiles rejoice! Says small amounts (2 0z max) of at least 70% chocolate is okay–ideally, after the first 6 weeks of the plan. I’ve got this one covered with previous dieting. I like Ghiardelli’s 80% chocolate chips. They’re easy for me to portion control and give that chocolate kick. I’ll be looking forward to this…[Read more]

Hi, I got an explanation for the small deviations from the nutritional coaches, The recipes are meant for wide appeal. The advanced plan people need to be cautious. People that have completed the 6 weeks can use the recipes more widely. Chocolate 70% is meant to be a very rare treat in very small amounts. teaspoon size not candy bar size.

What do you put in your smoothies?
I use 8oz unsweetened soy or almond milk, add a scoop of protein powder and the 1/2 cup frozen berries. Any frozen fruit works. I usually keep a few peeled frozen bananas in a freezer bag in the freezer. Just break into pieces and plop in the processor. I just bought a bag of mixed berries at WallyWorld and they are really good.
I have a killer breakfast smoothie that I have been making for awhile now. Here’s what it has in it:
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon of peanut butter
- 1 heaping teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 packet of PGX fiber powder

The flaxmeal gives it a good texture.
I also buy organic broccoli, organic green beans, organic blueberries and an organic berry blend in the frozen foods section of Costco. The prices are much lower than in the regular supermarket.
