When the wheat sprouts, it leaves the seed case behind so the primary element to avoid is minimized. Noticeable differences in how you feel and becoming detoxed takes about 2 weeks to 1 month depending on how much you comply with the diet. If you go 100% compliant (including no coffee, no potatoes, no wheat, no pasta, no milk, etc), you'll notice a big difference in about 2 weeks. Eat meat and vegetables and fight off the CRAVINGS from the drop in carbs. Keep little protein snacks around to eat when you're jonesing. Don't yo yo on the diet or you'll balloon in weight gain. You can do this. You will feel wonderful once you get detoxed and your body will tell you immediately if you cheat. I've been at it for 6 years and counting As far as eating with the fam, holidays are when I'm with my family and get the sickest and hungriest. They're all As so I eat too many avoids and not enough beneficials (HBs). When cooking for the family, I choose foods that are compatible for both such as chicken or fish. I do buy milk, bread, chips, etc for them and try to stay out of them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Don't want to discourage you but the sooner you get away from so many grain products the better you all will be. You can't just substitute to other grains. May seen tough to change from what you are used to but in the long run you will be glad you did. Just remember - CHANGE (for the better) is GOOD> Good Luck KM cmmontano <cmmontano@...> wrote: Hi everyone, I am new to the list and new to the diet. Today is day one. I was having some health problems so sought a naturopath's advice and one major recommendation was to do the ER4YT " diet " . I see in the book ER4YT that Ezekiel bread is OK. I bought it but see it has sprouted wheat in it. Exactly how is this " avoiding wheat " ? I don't understand what " sprouted " concept is either, can someone explain as I am curious. I usually bake our own bread here and would be much happier if I could bake my own recipes using spelt flour. But boy, it is expensive!! $4 for a tiny bag that wouldn't make 2 loaves. Does anyone have a resource for cheaper spelt? I am considering using Northeast Co-op as there is a group one town over that doesn't charge a membership fee nor do they charge a commission if I order from them. I married an Italian and we are a big pasta eating family. I was going to change everyone over to rice, spelt or potato pasta but the PRICE!! Yowza! I am used to our favorite Barilla at 99 cents per pound. Looks like to save money I'll have to cook wheat pasta for them and different for me. Sad, as I wanted this " diet " to be as integrated as possible. I am also in the process of finding out my kids blood types as they have had multiple food allergies since birth which I now wonder may be more of a blood type incompatibility. Their allergies are not anaphylactic, and they are not hive-inducing or asthmas inducing; they are different in nature (a la symptoms described in " Is this your child " by Doris Rapp MD), which will take a long time to explain here so I won't go into detail now. Also how long until you began to see improvements? I am just curious. I am reading the 1st book now and also just picked up " live right " from my public library. Any encouragement you can give would be appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 you could try just microwaving the slices slightly before using them. i do that with gf breads anyway.On 1/15/07, piglet95037 < csilverstein@...> wrote:My roommate left my bread open on the counter last night.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I use ours to make stuffing, a zucchini (or veggie of choice) casserole, chicken fingers, bread pudding …etc. You can use your crumbs or cubes in place of regular bread for most recipes that call for these, but for more info or recipes you can give me a call.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I like to make breadcrumbs out of stale loaves of bread, which I can then use in all kinds of recipes like stuffed mushrooms, fritters, Italian dishes, etc. Stale bread is also PERFECT for French Toast! Just leave the bread soaking in the egg batter for a bit. Here's my GF french toast recipe:http://glutenfreebay.blogspot.com/2007/01/my-favorite-french-toast-gluten-free.html Isaiah-- Come visit my food blog...Gluten-Free By The Bayhttp://www.glutenfreebythebay.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
