THE SOLAR DIET, "EATING THE SUN"
THE HOLISTIC HEALER'S REGIMEN FOR THE NEVER LOSE
DIETER.
Certain types of fat people swear on a bible to their
thin friends that they really do not eat a great deal of food. This could be true.
The reason they may be quite abstinent and still gain weight is that they
choose food groups that are dense in calories for every bite. That would be
flesh, fat, dairy, sugar and starch. The fabulous, forbidden five.
Another
'never-lose-an-ounce " type maintains that although she eats very little
in her three meals she doesn't lose weight. She will usually also confide that
even though she sometimes takes in a lean cottage cheese, hard boiled egg diet
-- 1,500 calories a day of lean food, she's HUNGRY all the time, and has a
vicious sweet tooth, hence she simply is FORCED to nibble extra snack items
taking her up to 4,000 or 5,000 calories, so that this perpetual dieter ALSO
never loses weight.
What
could be happening is she is consuming diet foods, which have LOW
nutritional potency, which leave the body with strong cravings. Meat, cottage
cheese, hardboiled eggs and steak are such foods. They create a GRINDING need
in one for some carbs!
The
starving dieters who eat these so-called wholesome foods and are still hungry
hence snack themselves FAT might well try an alternate diet from the California
Health food movement, called "The Sunlight Diet". It's one high in
vital power foods which are often 'light' foods but which are packed with
vitamins, like high chlorophyll greens, integral grains, sun ripened fruits,
seeds, nuts and sprouts all of which FEED our nutritional deficiencies to such
a high level that those perpetual munchies (related to hypoglycemia, a syndrome
caused by nutritional deficiencies) will be calmed.
The
weight will pour off immediately, and then, as a treat they can have a bite of
steak or a little egg, cottage cheese or yogurt, (fairly heavy foods) but only
as an occasional comfort food or special treat.
The
mainstay of the SUNLIGHT diet is going to be solar foods, veggies, nuts and
fruits. You are going to enjoy "eating the sun" as healthy food can
be quite tasty; (think of a huge, garlicky Caesar salad, or a cup portion of
buttered sesame carrots.)
It seems
to be a fact of life that one's sensual nature craves foods that seem more
'stick to the ribs', which are perhaps aromatic, chewy, meaty, chocolaty,
starchy, salty and recreational to bite into. Meat, creamy things, oily, dairy,
sugar and starch are fairly low in solar power minerals, fiber and vitamins,
(which are more often found in light, beta-carotene rich food), but there's an
emotional attachment to their use. However, this love affair with richness is
mainly 'mental' and can be broken. The mind is amenable to being trained and
re-educated when one reads up on the danger of plaque in the arteries from
flesh, fried food and dairy, and when one learns how carcinogenic fats are and
that there actually is higher stroke incidence from over-salting fatty food.
Reading
nutritional magazines can help you walk away from those foods, and turn quite
happily to healthy foods, which the 'new solar palate' adjusts to and quickly
becomes fond of. Soon, a dried, sun-radiated black fig or prune can be the
equal of a chocolate bar. A mango beats an ice cream cone, and a hot corn
tortilla with guacamole is more superb than a Nathan's Coney Island kosher
hot-dog, which has such a big downside: toxic meat, carcinogenic nitrites &
NO VITAMINS and none of those unsaturated oils that clean your bloodstream like
a whiskbroom which an avocado will do. And when the transition is made, energy
is high, physical activity feels natural and one burns off old weight problems
easily and one's veins are clean as new, copper pipes! So you have to make this
switchover, attempt to clean up the old graveyard.
There
is, however, a fourth kind of 'never-lose' dieter, one who cannot stop
his ravenous appetite, no matter how much he struggles to diet, someone whose
'appestat' goes crazy quite frequently, and mysteriously. Nutritional
researchers have learned this type may have his problem because there is one
organ in the body, which can actually become as addicted to one of the
Forbidden Five as a junkie is to heroin, or as an arsonist is to a five-alarm
fire. If you crave starches regularly, of any and all kinds, as bread,
fruit, alcohol, sweets or baked goods, you may have an addicted pancreas.
The yen for carbs is similar to the craving an alcoholic has for his
"carbohydrate of preference"---alcohol.
If no
matter what you eat in a meal, afterward you tend to crave starch or sweet, you
might suspect this to be the case. The appetite for carbs doesn't feel like any
normal hunger. It feels like an 'irritation' or an itch which is not relieved
by other food groups. Over the years you become less interested in proteins,
vegetables or salads. You eat them because you know you should but what
you really want is starch.
In
such cases, a good "New Age" nutritionist promptly suspects a food
allergy. Quite often people crave what they are allergic to. During
the 80's, when food testing by needle scratches became popular, the examining
doctors found that frequently people who had a chocolate 'positive' reading,
(or a red welt on the chocolate scratch) claimed to love and use a great deal
of the stuff, yet their body was actually aggravated by it.
An
allergy is a problematic body response to certain foods, which causes other
systems to jam up. For instance, the immune system is severely lowered for a
while after ingesting the allergen food, wheat and dairy being prime allergens.
The lack of an immune system may make body-resident viruses and bacteria get an
upper hand. Sometimes other environmental allergies are triggered--to things pets,
pollen, and carpets ordinarily don’t bother you. Colds, cankers and cold sores
appear. In the wake of consumption of food-allergens, one will also have a
fatigued feeling. The thyroid may swell a little, and you'll feel it when you
swallow.
But
the "carb-allergy" specifically irritates another organ, the
pancreas, which swells up and over-secretes insulin making you hungry again TOO
soon. This syndrome is called hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. It is often a
pre-cursor of diabetes, for--after decades of over-secreting insulin, one
finally will run out of insulin. Diabetes is a very inconvenient disease,
causing blindness and gangrene, which then can make amputation of feet
necessary. Diabetes also causes kidney failure, possibly due to the massive amounts
of animal protein diabetics erroneously eat. In "Reversing Diabetes"
Dr.John Whitaker shoots holes in the high-protein diet and gives a regimen,
which will take a diabetic off of insulin and restore his health. If Diabetes
is reversible, hypoglycemia may be too.
If we
are overweight, can we assume low blood sugar? If we know we are not diabetic,
and are hungry too often, we can. (NOTE: if insomnia accompanies the
perpetual munchies it may be intestinal parasites. As l00% of us have some
parasites, it's always wise to do a 3-week natural herbal cure, which will
definitely reduce your appetite.) There are hunger-killing herbs that will help
you kill appetite, too. Some people can mask hunger momentarily with caffeine.
But a few hours later it comes back three times as strong. Have you ever
noticed that when your coffee wears off your appetite comes back in spades?
That in the late day and evening, you can eat a huge steak and salad but even
that meal makes you ravenous for sweets? If so, suspect an addicted
pancreas.
If
you wake several times during the night, hungry, unable to sleep. And wander to
the fridge and eat some cheese and then, sleep soundly, suspect the pancreas.
If three hours later you're up again nibbling milk or toast and all this eating
---with no fasting ever---ultimately stresses the stomach, damages the liver
and kidneys, aging us by leaps and bounds and that's only what we KNOW
over-eating can do,---there are probably other, worse results---suspect the
pancreas! And if you suspect the pancreas is sick, the most important thing you
can do right now is CURE this organ.
How?
Conventional medicine has no answer, but holistic healers suggest you give your
pancreas a trace mineral called chromium, herbs like: golden seal, juniper
berries, uva ursi, mullein, comfrey root, yarrow flowers, garlic bulb, cayenne,
dandelion root, marshmallow root, buchu leaves, huckleberry leaves, dried root
of licorice, and freeze dried adrenals, (avail at HFS). For special healing
foods, eat fennel (finocchio) in your salads along with Jerusalem artichokes or
sunchokes and for dessert: BLUEBERRIES. Use hot castor oil packs over the
pancreas. Wet a rag in castor oil, get a hot water bottle and apply the pack,
then the bottle to the area under sternum bone, on the stomach. If you really
want to heal pancreas, do the compresses several times a week.
The
perpetual munchies dieter should then follow a pancreas healing dietary
regimen. You have to swear off carbohydrates all together. After a week of no
carbs at all, carb lust fades and the pancreas is restored to health. As
carbohydrate is contained in so many foods required for health---fruit,
vegetables, grains---it is hard to get the susceptibility to fade. But toe the
line and avoid this food group, aiming for 95% abstinence and if you hit 95%
you can get the low-blood sugar syndrome to fade into the background.
Some
research sources (Atkins Diet, Enter the Zone by Sears) feel the carb addict
can have a little bit of a natural, unrefined carb (brown grains, fruit, beans)
as a reward for staying on a non-carb diet. This is a question the dieter must
decide for himself. Atkins says 14 gms of carb a day is maintenance. Zero carbs
causes you to go into ketosis and lose the chub, the fat. Zero means no bread.
14 gms a day means one slice of Whole grain bread and that's it. No corn, no
potatoes. No carrots even. One can try NO carbs, no toast in A.M. just proteins
and greens all day. Grapefruit as a treat, or strawberries, the low sugar
fruits. You will go into ketosis. Bad taste in mouth as you lose your fat, or
burn it off. Live off it. This is hard on the liver so you must stop drinking
coffee while you do it. It may be a difficult regimen but when carbohydrate
addicts go on this zero carb diet they find that the fat and the real weight peels
off. So you might be motivated to go high vegetarian proteins for a week or
two, and no more than once a day, ANIMAL proteins like fresh fish, which rarely
IS fresh these days so why not stick to our vegetarian meatloaf. (recipe
below.)
ANIMAL
PROTEIN VS. VEGETARIAN---PROS AND CONS.
New Age holistic health food healers believe that proteins are necessary, and
they recommend avocados, millet, tofu and lentils/beans as there's such a severe
downside to frequent use of meat. Meat is high in saturated fats, cholesterol,
hence harder on the liver than veggie proteins. Meat is high in a substance
called uric acids that stress the kidneys and which holistic healers believe
cause arthritis, gout and compressed nerves. Even conventional doctors tell us
that high-protein consumption causes excretion of calcium hence osteoporosis.
If that doesn't dissuade you, Hindu Yogi mystics tell us of the sensitivity and
intelligence of cows raised by humans from childhood. This is a conscious
animal. Imagine the fear and panic of a friendly, trusting person penned near a
slaughter house, then dragged to a bloody spot and butchered. Imagine eating
that flesh so full of fear and pain hormones! Then imagine the karma of eating
this kindly creature, and participating in this murder. Enough is enough. Go
veggie.
Because
we're making a week-long experiment in a new food technology, for the sake of
vitality and youth, instead of doing the conventional high protein diet,
(steak, boiled eggs, chicken, which is mainly un-vital, highly cooked
foods to which they add a little white-colored salad, and pasteurized
grapefruit juice), let's do a California Vegetarian health food high protein
diet.
This
regimen will be easier on your kidneys than meat diets. Animal flesh puts uric
acid 'puff' on our faces over the years as a kind of edema builds up. The proof
is that meat-eaters all have faces like round meat pies at age 60. You can see
no resemblance to the person they were at 20, whereas vegetarians keep the
facial contours of a 20 year old until they are 90. Meat and eggs also give the
breath and body an unpleasant smell that mirrors the condition of the bowel. As
vegetarians tell us 'food should smell the same way going in as passing out!'
And for them, it does!
So,
hoping for all these new levels and areas of non-toxicity, we are going for a
full on California Health Regimen of steamed veggies and grains, lots of raw
foods and certainly some nice, New Age all-vegetarian (low uric acid) proteins
and plenty of hi-vit dark green salad! And let's add a few health food store
herbal preparations which (like STP type fuel additives) can really rev you up
and create super-vitality and youth. You may not have heard of them before, but
if you go to good health food store you will find them for sale.
I
feel the BEVERLY HILLS diet is one of the best systems that ever existed. Judy Mazel’s
books are found used at ABEBOOKS.com
THE
SUNLIGHT DIET MAKES USE OF THE POWER OF VEIN-CLEANSING MINERALS The high mineral content of the foods you will be
consuming is said to create natural 'chelation'. In other words, the organic
minerals penetrate and sweep away the inorganic minerals trapped in your
arteries and capillaries...as plaque. High-min raw juices are especially
effective. When your veins are clean, you will drop years, rejuvenate, and as
you lose weight, FIRM your body again!
Rejuvenate
with vein CLEANSING OILS - Lecithin,
Evening Primrose Oil, Kyolic de- odorized garlic, Vitamin E. Omega Fish oils.
Use all of these with fatty meals. On top of food, use fresh garlic mixed with
cold-pressed oils purchased at health food store, which will not become thick
when cold. Do not fry or heat any oils; don't sauté with them. Put small amts
on top of your cooked food in the way you used to dress vegetables with melted
butter. A little clarified sweet butter is alright, too as it banishes hunger
like magic, making vegetables the equal of meat. Use no Salt- Small amt
of low-salt soy sauce can be mixed into the oils we use on food. Toasted sesame
seed 'gomasio' is also fine.
THE
MAGIC OF ALMONDS! Get a pound bag of
almonds. Raw almonds. Store in fridge. Soak some an hour before a meal. If for
breakfast, then soak (15-20) the usual full meal for an adult, at bedtime.
Next morning, while you eat breakfast, peel them and eat them chewing well.
STEAK ON A TREE! Oprah’s secret. YOGI BHAJAN is the one who told us about
peeling them, soaking and peeling as skin is so astringent it’s not good for
anything except closing pores! ONCE you soak and peel, eat right away OR store
in fridge, peeled. (Fridge will RE-adhere skin, that’s why we peel it before
storing.)
THE REGIMEN --BEFORE BREAKFAST (on empty stomach) L-salivarius (a beneficial bacteria
like the one in yogurt). Potassium, (for muscle strength) preferably liquid
form, magnesium, chromium piccoliniate. Cayenne capsules for 'glow and arterial
flow!’ and JUST BEFORE BREAKFAST-Electrolytes (minerals in solution). Take one
or two capsules of INCREDIBLE ENERGY PRODUCTS, "Herbal Energy Boost"
which kills appetite, makes you active. 800-808-1259 for a bottle and samples.
You then start dealing it to pals and yours is free. Formula is Fo-Ti,
Chromium, boron, beet powder kelp or bladder wrack, hawthorn, kola, saw
palmetto, sida cordifolia linn, ginkgo, zinc, white willow if you want to make
your own. Remarkable stuff.
BREAKFAST - If you can sleep nine hours without hunger awakening
you, this can be your carbohydrate meal. The items you use will be whole grain,
but they still may create mid-morning hunger later. If this is the case, take
note---you are a probable carb-allergic. You have to go on a total-protein
breakfast. If you have mild hunger reaction to grains/fruits in a.m., you can
use SPROUTED SEEDS to sooth appetite. Eat big fistful of soaked, peeled raw
almonds. Take raw pumpkin or sunflower seed SPROUTS at l0 a.m. This is a 'stick
to your ribs' protein snack. If you handle grains well in winter time, use
fruits in spring and summer. We make them into a fruit shake. (No dairy or soy,
just plain fruits.) Add bee pollen, rice bran syrup, any brand blue green algae
and flax seed oil. In cold weather, steamed or hot, baked fruits or whole grain
cereals. (no milk). Dairy foods are slightly mucous forming as well as not
combining with starch as well as fat, so it is better to have a small amount of
pure unpasteurized cream. Sweeten with rice syrup, tupelo honey or genuine
maple syrup but in miniscule amounts. To sweeten grains causes fermentation in
your stomach, which we want to avoid. And NO CAFFEINE as it gives you a morning
high, but followed by afternoon/evening LOW with munchies, not EVEN energy.
ALTERNATE
BREAKFAST- If you wake several times
during night with distinct hunger, you are not ready for a starch breakfast.
You must have protein drink. Soak 4 oz almonds in water at night. In the
morning you will be able to peel off skin. Blend 1/2 cup of blanched almonds
(FRESH MADE, never store bought!) in spring water or soy or rice milk, add rice
bran syrup or tupelo honey (l tsp), 1 tbsp bee pollen, and 1 tsp good liquid
algae, flavor with almond flavoring and banana or 1 tsp unsugared cocoa. (and
take algae capsules on the side. Ask your HFS to stock spirulina or blue-green
Klamath Lake algae.) You can learn to make great 'milk' shakes out of mixtures
of fresh coconut, almonds and cooked soybeans or tofu. For shakes get the delicate,
not firm. To flavor, add almond or vanilla extract, or Sanka for a coffee
flavor, or Cinnamon/nutmeg and banana, or carob for a chocolate flavor, and
SOME milk to give it the dairy flavor you love. Just get used to high vit B
tofu stuck into foods as often as possible, because this diet is about POWER
FOODS. SUPER FOODS. Algae is very tasty by the way, as it's totally tasteless
and then they add APPLE juice concentrate to it if you get the wet kind in the
eye dropper.
BEFORE
LUNCH - Digestive enzymes, if no
money, use a bitter leaf, dandelion works fine. Herbal supplements: Mucus-
reducers like de-odorized garlic, cheapest, or if you can find Mullin,
Marshmallow, Fenugreek, (Arab or Iranian, Jewish markets sell it in bulk fresh,
great for tea) diuretic Kidney herbs like Uva Ursi, Juniper Berry, dandelion).
LUNCH
DIET: Steamed or raw vegetables, broccoli, (beets are grated.
If starch is wanted, parsnips AND carrots replace potato. If pasta is wanted go
for SPAGHETTI SQUASH which makes noodles too, replaces pasta made of stuffy,
inert, mucus forming flour.) Raw salad, soup, whole brown basmati or regular
rice, never white. Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes) in salads to provide
insulin to even out hunger pangs. Licorice in the form of fennel (finochio) cut
into your salad to kill appetite. Find a tea called weightless, available
everywhere. Drink with meal. Very tasty, diuretic. NO SALT. It holds water on
you.
1/2
HOUR AFTER LUNCH- Digestive enzymes, herbal supplements.
LITE
SNACK - If hungry, corn tortilla,
avocado made into guacamole. If you are smart and want to peel back the years
and look younger, drink home-made, fresh raw vegetable juice. (Carrot, beet
watercress, celery, cuke, kale best.) Raw milk, goat being best. ALMOND milk
(soak, peel almonds, grind, strain; add almond extract. Use nutmeal for face.
BEFORE
DINNER Herbal Supplements.
Herbal-Minerals, Kidney mixture, whatever you feel you need. Menopausal Women
should use estrogen replacement herbs like fo-ti-tieng with raspberry tea.
DINNER
DIET- Raw Greens, protein which
should be vegetarian, (Veggie meat loaf, hummus, tofu.) Vegetable soup, steamed
or baked vegetables, 1 or 2 digestive enzyme capsules.
BEFORE
BED Sleep-aid herbs. L-salivarius
1-3 capsules and an herbal laxative capsule, chromium, magnesium.
IN
SUMMATION: The NO CARB diet is easy
to research, shop for and carry out. It is, however a radically new way of
eating. Will the pleasure of being thin and loved outweigh all the garbage you
used to put in your mouth? What do you think? The diet allows you nut butters,
and moderate use of whole grain starches, delicious dishes like waffles with
maple syrup or tupelo honey, healthy fruitshakes even cheesecake made of
cottage cheese, sweetened with apple juice concentrate in a rich NUT crust.
Avoid processed foods with shelf-life (meaning they're dead!) empty calories.
Eat full calories. Nutritional Natural food. Everything has to be ALIVE. That
way less of it is required. Most of our hungers are vitaminosis-related! So try
LOW Protein, Low CARB, high NUTRITION, eat all you want of delicious food
(chosen from SUPER FOODS ONLY) and GROW super active, and super THIN.
NEW AGE FOODS: HOLISTIC RECIPES FOR
POWER & ENERGY
HUMMOUS- This is a middle eastern protein food like western types
of party dip, (I use it for that) which YOU will use as sandwich spread as it's
thick like chicken salad. It's very satisfying and the highest food you could
find in calcium due to sesame, hence it replaces cheese & milk. All
bean-based dishes sour in 4 days so we will freeze half of the finished
product, making a lot at a time as it does take a few minutes of work.
HAVE
ON HAND: One jar/Can TAHINI, (a kind
of peanut butter only made w. sesame seeds, avail at Israeli, Iranian,
Armenian, Arab grocery stores.) Dry raw garbanzo beans, onion, soy sauce, pckg
untoasted sesame seeds, garlic, lemons, 1 sml. can chopped olives, cumin, curry
powder, Cilantro, Chile-Sesame oil, (oriental section.) Pickle/relish optional.
METHOD- SOAK beans over night. Boil in crock pot until soft.
While beans cook, toast sesame seeds in iron skillet, stirring until they pop.
Cool. Reserve most of liquid in beanpot for tomorrow's soup, leave 1/2 cup
remaining liquid while you mash beans into a paste. Add 1 part tahini to 3
parts beans, mashing with finely chopped onions, lemon juice, soy sauce. Add
toasted sesame seeds to the bean/tahini mix, add a few dashes of chile sesame
oil, your spices, cumin, curry, lots of crushed fresh garlic, olives, cilantro
and lemon juice. Freeze what you can't eat in plastic, not foil, as there's
acid in hummus and aluminum leaches out of foil. Later, hummus thaws good as
new. Serve with fat free baked all corn chips or in sandwiches w. pickle/
lettuce/tomato. Kids will take this to school quite happily.
VEGETARIAN
MEAT LOAF- ON HAND- 1 cup of your
CHOICE OF GRAIN* (soaked 2 hrs. at l00 degrees), garlic, chopped onion, oil,
thyme, oregano, chopped celery, celery seed, mushrooms, 1/4 cup soaked, almost
sprouted nuts: may be mixed sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, hazlenuts. Other
ideas: bell pepper, tofu, cooked lentils or garbanzos, tahini, Salt/pepper
& vegie broth. Use a good grain from health food store like millet, brown
rice, quinoa, (COOK GRAIN, or, if bulgur wheat, soak in hot water 30 min.).
Grind nuts. (Almonds must be soaked overnight in water, then skinned) METHOD-
Sauté onion, garlic, red or green peppers, stir in the other ingredients:
GRAIN, nuts, spices, until you have a burger.n top. Then, you can then shape a
patty, dredge in flour and sesame seeds, fry lightly in butter, olive oil, then
bake, last 15 minutes. Serve with a little cheese, tomato sauce, olive on top.
U also can bake in meatloaf shape. Freeze 3/4 of patties or slices. NOTE:
Reason we pre-soak grains, sprout nuts/seeds is to inactivate PHYTIC acid which
prevents mineral assimilation.
HOME
MADE BREAD- Let pckg dry yeast rise
in 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 cup of warm water. Make 3 cups vegie broth by simmering
vegies that you perhaps plan to eat for dinner. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 cube
butter. COOL. Throw 3-4 cups whole grain wheat/mixed w. rye flour into broth,
(a little millet flour is good if you can find it,) and a tsp of gluten (avail.
at health food store) for each cup of flour. Stir so it's very soft, then add,
stir in the yeast which has proven it's alive by getting a thick scum on it.
Stir more flour into dough until it's mushy verging on firm. Let rise in bowl
in warm spot in kitchen, FOR MINIMUM OF 2 HRS, like open oven on super low.
2-hr yeast raising period is to inactivate phytic acid which is pronounded in
whole wheat, and inhibits our assimilating our minerals. When doubled in size,
turn on dusted board, and knead, as you do, adding several oz. of toasted
sesame seeds and salt to taste. Put on buttered floured pizza pan, or four loaf
pans, set in warm place until it doubles. Bake at 375 l0 min, then lower to 300
until brown. Cool, Cut into 4 loaves, freeze 3. A slice is all the carbs you
get! Toasted. THIS unfortunately is flour bread. If you want a good for you
bread, go with BIBLE BREAD, made of soaked grains, rinsed, triterated, found
only at healthfood stores, though in CALIF we have EZEKIEL bread in super
markets.
VEGIE
CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVERS-(or party
dip) Ground sprouted Walnuts, pecans, pre-soaked lentils, cheddar cheese,
garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice all blended together. YUMMY! Sandwich spread,
too. Pre-soak nuts to sprout them to inactivate phytic acid.
SALAD
- THE ULTIMATE VITALITY FOOD- Wash romaine, watercress, spinach, but not head lettuce.
Get all dirt out of crevices. Put in colander. DRESSING- Olive oil,
lemon juice, crushed garlic, oregano, a little dry mustard powder or wet, 2
tbsp crushed avocado and slices of onion, soy sauce for salt, anchovy paste if
possible. Mix in large, wooden salad bowl, put greens on top. TOPPING-
sunflower seeds, avocado slices, raisins, mushroom slices, hulled pumpkin seeds
(only avail. at HFS), broccoli florets, jicama or sunchoke slices, diced green
onions, fresh basil, cilantro or arugula herbs. SERVE with stacks of hot, corn
tortillas in a basket. Make soft 'tacos' of salad. GOMASIO- Toast 1 3oz
bag of sesame seeds on heavy skillet until golden. Cool. Put in blender with
1/4 tsp salt, whiz l second only. Store in CLOSED jar in fridge. Use in place
of salt on all savory foods. SPROUTED SEEDS AND NUTS- As beans, seeds,
tahini, nuts and whole grain breads have phytic acid, which inhibits
assimilation of minerals, as you start to use them to take the place of MEAT,
SOAK THEM. Beans will be soaked overnight, water thrown away. Nuts should be
soaked also, changing water a few times, until they start to sprout. Seeds
should be soaked until they sprout and whole grain flour should 'rest' 2 hrs in
the dough stage. Phytic Acid is the Catch 22 of healthfooders. Whole wheat
products can cause rickets from phytic acid causing calcium lacks. GET
FLOURLESS BREAD at HFS, toast w. butter and those new, sugar free jams
sweetened with grape juice concentrate. great snack.
SWEETS- Make 'Pinatas' and store in jar in fridge. Each colored
paper cone is filled with ribbon-chopped dried cherries, apricots, peaches,
raisins, home-blanched almonds, homemade peanut brittle, and dipped chocolates
(fruit center) all made w. no sugar.
FRUIT
MARZIPAN- Larger dried fruits like
dates, figs R-stuffed w. nuts or homemade marzipan. (Grind dates, walnuts,
blanched almonds, lemon juice, lemon rind, coconut in blender, add almond
extract.)INDIVIDUALLY wrap each ‘ball.’ STORE in sealed jar in fridge.
