YES, ALL beans have to go on the BBD.

No dairy either. Suggested alternatives to dairy milk are rice milk and almond

milk, as you are doing, all the other nut milks, chufa milk and hemp milk.

I use fruit juice instead of milk on my muesli and actually prefer it.

Sorry no idea about the rice shreds which they don't have here in Spain.

You quickly get acclimatised to no dairy and in fact I can't even bear the smell

of it anymore.

Subject: best bet diet and beans....

Do I really have to give up all beans? I love black beans and its the only bean

I eat. I dont do soy, but I do drink rice milk and almond milk.

What kind of dairy would you suggest? Because all the hormones and crap cows

are given, I dont trust any of it. If I was cheese, then i get the rice shreds

that have the mozzerella flavoring and they satisfy my craving and are good too.

Thanks for your help...

You should probably check the label. In terms of the Best Bet Diet, it is the

milk protein " casein " , not lactose, that is the problem. Rice cheese, at least

here in the US, still contains casein. The only " vegan " cheese I've found

contains either pea protein or soy, also not allowed on BBD.

I buy raw dairy and I make kefir from the milk. You can sprout your beans to

negate some of the natural toxins but no beans are approved on the BBD. Navy

beans are the only beans allowed on the diet that I'm on and I'm not at that

level yet.

, how do you make kefir? I'd appreciate instructions. I've changed MY

BBD to include some goat milk kefir, and it would be nice to make my own.

Thanks.

I got some kefir grains and I put them in a jar with milk and I leave it on the

counter for about 24 hours, lid on loosely (so gas escapes and air gets in). I

pour that through a plastic strainer and start the next batch with the grains.

The fermented milk lasts in the refrigerator for a long time. I usally drink it

faster than it spoils. Sometimes the whey separates from the curd but you can

either shake it up or make cheese, salad dressing or sour cream out of the curd

and use the whey for fermented vegetables.

Start slowly with this because if you use a lot too soon you may have a die-off

reaction as the good bacteria takes over the bad bacteria. I also make water

kefir with a different culture, tabicos, and Caspian Sea yogurt, Matsoni. Goat

milk makes great yogurt. Yogurt is easier to start with than kefir because it

has fewer strains of probiotic bacteria.

I got some good grains from a member of this site:

This is another good site (with visual instructions):
