Do you have a favorite source for your natural peanut butter? It's $7 a jar here at the local health food store... doesn't that sound about right? Love Your Blog! Thank you
ReplyDeleteI meant does that sound about right (as in reasonable; sorry! :)
ReplyDelete@Laurie, Thank you! I usually get Smucker's or Smucker's Organic or the kind at Target. It is about $5 for 16 oz. Peanut butter has definitely went up in price over the past few months. Consider looking online like at Amazon and see if you can get it cheaper and delivered to your door! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi, as someone just starting on a low-carb diet, I'm really enjoying your website. I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes but was wondering if you have a source for decently priced coconut flour. It's going for $10.00 a pound in my local grocery store, which is kinda pricey!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and thank you for the great ideas and drool-worthy pictures.
Hello. I decided to give this wheat free diet a try & I have some questions. As I was shopping today, I found "Heartland gluten and wheat free fusilli pasta". The food & allergan label does not list wheat as an ingrediant. Is this pasta a good choice for me to add to my food list/shopping cart? And is it safe to say that if the food label & allergan labels do not list wheat as an ingrediant that it is a good food option? Also, what about corn flour-is that a good food option? And what fruits are ok to eat when following a wheat free diet? Lots of questions!! Thank you, Lynn
ReplyDeleteHello, Lynn here again with a few more questions. I use my bread machine to make bread all the time. Could I just swap out the all-purpose flour for brown rice flour? I really appreciate the starter food list, thank you for that! Would there perhaps be another list somewhere with other food options? is Fiber One cottage cheese ok? Just starting and not 100% certain on all my options. Thank you! Lynn
ReplyDelete@Lynn, I over all avoid products labeled "Gluten Free." This means, you will need to read ingredient list and see if other grains such as corn, soy, rice, oats, etc. are included and the pasta you mentioned I can most certainly say includes other grains. Wheat is the #1 evil but other grains are a close 2nd. About fruits, berries such as blueberries and strawberries are best a limit fruits like bananas and peaches, fruits that just taste sweet.
ReplyDeleteAbout your bread machine.... you may never have to use it again! ;-) Bread machines are great when using yeast and wheat because it kneads the dough to develop the gluten. Unfortunately swapping rice flour instead of wheat will not be the best approach. Rice is still a grain, packed with tons of blood sugar spiking carbohydrates. Have you read "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis yet? I highly recommend doing so, gives lots of info on why not only wheat but other grains should be avoided.
hi! As I'm having some health issues and a lot of weight to get rid, I'd like to give this nutrition a try..
ReplyDeleteBut I have a few questions..
By grains you also mean chickpeas, white beans etc.?
And how much of this food are we allowed to eat daily?
Thank you!
