Hi!, Through one of your members, I have "come onboard". Can't believe all
the exciting recipes and conversations. I have been on a food program for
four and a half years and released 62 pounds, but gained back 15 over the
four years. On this program I do not eat sugar nor white flour. Now I
have osteoarthritis and all the books say to not eat: nightshade
vegetables (which include potatoes and green peppers), sugar, caffeine,
whole wheat, dairy products, etc. They do say to take flaxseed oil daily
and I take the Barlean brand which has borage (high lingnan) and it tastes
pretty good). I am slowly trying to get off the dairy products. I am
going for my graduate degree, so don't have a lot of time for cooking, so
after reading your recipes, I dragged out the old crockpot and cleaned it
up and went overboard cooking rice and beans. They used up all the liquid
and nearly ran out of the pot!! So I learned from that! But at least I
have those to eat during the week for dinner without doing a lot of
cooking. We eat fresh vegetables with it. So much to learn, so please
keep sharing. I have released 3 pounds since I started this new way of
life. Judy in AZ judyandjim@xxxxxxxxxxx
