Recipes 1 day, 1 hour agoHere is a vegetable roasting idea
To roast veggies, cut into 2-3 inch pieces. Coat with olive oil, I just pour olive oil on my hand and rub over veggies. Sprinkle spices over if you want (curry, allspice, salt and pepper, chili or your favorite)
Place in an oiled glass or ceramic pan, in a single layer.
Roast at 350-375 for 30 minutes and check.…[Read more] -

Recipes 6 days, 3 hours 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]

Recipes 6 days, 4 hours 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 6 days, 7 hours 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]

Recipes 1 week, 2 days agoTabbouleh with Quinoa
The more herbs you add the better. They are very healthy for you. Quinoa is a complete protein and fantastic for your health, especially if you are a vegetarian.
To make quinoa tabbouleh 6-8 servings:
Combine 2 cups cooked, cooled quinoa with
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered;
4-inch piece cucumber peeled, seeded, diced…[Read more]-
This sounds delicious Margaret I think I will make this tonight!

Margaret would it be suitable to use flax seed oil instead of olive oil??
-
If you like the taste of flax seed oil, you can use it. But I would use less, due to the taste.

Recipes 1 week, 2 days agoTis the season for grilling! I will be attending a couple of cookouts later this month. I would love to hear of any ideas you may have for desserts or side dishes (other than greens/veg salad) to go with burgers and brats. I need a dessert or side dish to feed a group of 20, one that won’t spoil sitting out in the open for several hours. Thanks!

Hi Vimala, How about a quinoa tabbouleh. A bean salad will hold up as well. Or you could grill veggies, squash, yams, bell peppers, onions etc. These can be eaten with your hands. Just coat with olive oil and any seasoning you want.
A good dessert (not BSS) would be a strawberry-rhubarb crisp. You could try using ground almonds instead of some of…[Read more]-
Thank you, Margaret. The tabbouleh recipe looks yummy!

Metabolism 1 week, 4 days agoI have read ultramind solution and am reading ultra- metabolism. I usually just juice in the morning (apple, kale, lemon, ginger, beet). I was wondering if there is a reason i should not juice while doing ultra metabolism. Thanks!
-
Hi Susan, most of us on this site are on the Blood Sugar Solution program. Perhaps someone on the ultra metabolism plan will chime in.

Thanks, i couldn’t find a group specific to my plan…

Thanks for the tips, Margaret. I did roast some veggies. My favorites of the mix I made, all on the Advanced plan, are Asparagus, Red Onions, Zucchini, and Red Bell Peppers. I have never been a big onion eater because I do not like the after-taste/breath; but the roasting is making onions one of my favorite veggies.
