Is the fat from PORK bad for the health?
Normally I use to add reasonable saltin my food.But my friends say, that using salt is not good for health.Please I want to know weather it istrue!
Eating rice daily, is good or bad?
Hey Lily,
Salt is important in the body, so you do not necessarily want to avoid all salt. However, you want to stay away from the typical table salt. Instead, use unrefined sea salt such as Celtic sea salt [www.celticseas.com] or Redmond’s real salt. Just a reminder, make you sure you taste your food before you add any salt.
Also, rice is very high in calories and carbs, even in small servings. I wouldn’t necessarily advise eating rice on a daily basis. However, it is a healthy food that works well with the Diet Solution Program.
What are the healthy cooking oil options? I know olive oil is healthy but I heard not for cooking. Is this true?
Isabel recommends coconut oil for cooking.
You don’t say anything about yogurt or cheese. Are these no no’s?
The DSP manual goes into detail about dairy products. Yogurt is okay, as long as it is organic (which means it will be free from antibiotics and bovine growth hormones). Also, plain yogurt is the best because it has the lowest sugar content.
Buy a magic bullet.
You can use Heavy Cream to make your own whipping cream…or continue on for another few minutes..and you have BUTTER…It’s the best!!!
The Magic bullet was the best thing on our counter top..we can easily grind the flax seeds and having multiple containers that you use..make it easy to store..clean and minimize having to use a larger and complex food processor for those little daily jobs.
Coconut oil is the BOMB!…also best for popcorn. NEVER USE MICROWAVE POPCORN.
Go to a health food store that has batch grains. Usually they have white or yellow popcorn (white is fluffier)..and use sea salt and/or REAL BUTTER.
PERFECT POPCORN RECIPE
(for newbies who were born after 1989)
Use a pot that is rounded..like a wok..approx 12″ diameter at the top (with a glass top for entertainment purposes) to make your popcorn.
Put enough oil on the bottom to just slightly cover about 1/2 cup of kernals. (or 1/2 cup oil – vegetable or coconut) Put only 3 kernals in to test oil temperature and put heat on just under High..once those three pop..put rest of kernals in.
It will all be done in about 45 seconds. Once you hear silence after the last kernal pops ..count to 3 seconds – no other pops?..that means turn the heat off and immediately dump popcorn in bowl.
Hopefully..you had some butter melting in that one minute you were popping on the other burner on low. Immediately put butter and sea salt (you only need 2 shakes).
In New York City..Fairway (upstairs organic) is huge and has grain, nuts, popcorn (3 different kinds), rice, granola and bean selection..along with freshly made Peanut butter, Honey roasted peanut butter and Almond Butter..reasonably priced considering it’s all natural and ground right there.
This sounds just like what I need to loose about 30 more lbs. I have lost 36 lbs. But seem to be at a lost for continueing to loose. Eating the type of fats you are talking about helped me loose the first 36 lbs but then I started getting hungry and ate things I should not have. Please let me know how to find the books on line. Thank you, Ruth
Ruth, you can purchase the program at http://www.thedietsolutionprogram.com.
Great info Isabel. Since I have incorporated coconut oil in my meals; the fat has been melting off. I’m even trying to get my friends and family to use it.
What do you think about Avocado oil? I read it ‘s even better then coconut oil.
Pam, that’s great! Keep up the good work! To answer your question, avocado oil has a very low smoke point so I would only eat it raw as a dressing oil.
Hello,
I would like to know if goat milk is allowed on the diet solution program?
Also, I cannot find raw, organic goat milk in my area. Is it OK to drink just regular goat milk?
Thank you
Dear Isabel,
I’ve been on the diet solution program for one month now, and I’m happy with the results so far.
Can you please recommend a good multi-vitamin supplement that I can take on a daily basis? There are so many out there, and I would like to steer away from synthetic ones.
Thank you in advance.
Liset, goat milk is allowed, but I would still look for raw and organic. Also, read this post for my take on multi-vitamins: http://www.thedietsolutionprogram.com/blog/the-surprising-truth-about-your-multi-vitamin/
What about Smart Balance b/c it has the omg-3? Is it just as bad as I can’t believe it’s not butter? And do you make your own peanut butter? Do you add any sweetener/sugar to it? I’ve tried the Smart Balance peanut butter and could not eat it b/c it tasted so bad.
Stephanie, Smart Balance is not a product I would recommend. It has quite a few artificial ingredients. My favorite nut butter is an almond butter that I purchase at Trader Joe’s. You can make your own peanut butter though.
i am interested in learning more about the omeg fats and staying healthy.
i have heard that pumpernickel or rye bread is best for diabetics. is that true?
Sharon, I don’t recommend eating either one of those breads. Personally, I stay away from bread altogether. If you choose to consume bread, though, stick with Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain bread. My dad is a diabetic, and he follows the DSP to a T and has had no problems. Hope that helps!
Isabel, why aren’t nuts and seeds considered as your fats?
They have more fat than the protein! :/
Hi Isabel,
Is it okay to eat almond butter made from roasted almonds? I recall you saying that roasted nuts are no good since it causes the oils in them to go rancid, but I can’t seem to find raw nut butters anywhere in stores. Do roasted nuts do more harm than good?
what type of rice is better? .Is parboiled and enriched rice better than Basmati or Jasmie rice?.Is substituting rice with whole wheat indian bread like chapathi a good idea especially for someone with diabetes?
Devi, the parboiled and enriched white rice is the one you want to stay away from. Basmati and jasmine are both great choices! Whole wheat breads of any kind should be avoided.
Lydia, stick with nut butters made from raw nuts.
I have a problem with getting rid of fat from my lower belly. It just sits there. What is up with that. I eat grapes in the morning, raw vegetables in the evening, and for dinner I make tomato soup, using canned tomato sauce. I jog 5 miles. I stay in the gym. I am lost. Is there a more effective way? Of course it isn’t the same daily meal plan, I just stop myself from eating processed dried fruits, specifically speaking ””Craisins”"”". I am on a raw food diet. You think its because I just started. Then to I take body cleansing supplements to help regulate my digestive track. I am also on HCG. Is there any solution to this small problem?
hello,my name is libby and i live in ohio i’am a diabetic and i weigh in at 391 n half and so far i have lost 40 pounds and i want to take it off faster i was the smallest of the girls but having my kids and losing my mother, and in a couple of years i was trying to lose weight i was losing some and then the day i got the call that my son is dead from there on i did not care of what happen to me, i was using, food for comfort and all i wanted to do is sleep and this is the size i told myself i was tired of caring this fat around its even hard to keep your house cleaned i was really mad at myself for getting this way, so i called upon my lord to help me and to make food bitter for my toungue, and he has blessed me because i lost 40 pds so far. i have had alot of surgery because i was in a couple of bad accident’s in my life time the one that i had in 1997 i should of been dead but he is not ready for me yet i have a daughter and she has done the same thing i done this girl used to wear extra small in her clothes now r 3-4 plus she a little bigger than me she has it where it is where are family puts the weight on at his in our stomach i know one day i will get this off but i;am limited on what kind of exercise i do but i move around when i can but my daughter don’t want to do nothing and i keep on telling her she has to move more than she eats but she eats but she needs to eat 6 -7 mini meals a day like i do well this is our story and i hope you can help us to get on the right track and to stay on the road to getting healthy. just a mother and daughter that has it to get off these pounds she don’t work and right now she can’t move around to work for anyone and trying to get a treadmill to exercise on they want people to lose weight things needs to be cheaper just a mother and daughter that would do anything for each other or if a stranger needs help we would be there in a heart beat, may god bless you all
