Lizzie, I actually just released my new pre and post natal program, What to Eat While Pregnant – it contains a great deal of information about how to eat post-pregnancy.

Hi! I just bought your program last week and finally got my hard copy in the mail today. I’m so excited! BUT, I am breastfeeding and wondered how I adjust the program for that? Please let me know…

Thanks!

i am not one for much corn, never really have been. honestly, it’s just because i hate it getting stuck in my teeth!
my family does enjoy it, and we are currenlty growing our own. about 8 stalks for my family of 5.
however.. once i saw Food Inc and saw how the farmers are growing corn, and how a certain company controls most of the corn supply in the US, and have it actually patented and modified… i grew quite disgusted with the idea of corn products.
all of your information has been so amazingly helpful and eye opening for me.
i have switched about 60% of my food in the house to all organic brands, varefully reading the ingredients though. even some of those have hydrogenated oils! oculdn’t believe the canola oil in the granola and cereals!
anyway… thanks again for all your information. i LOVE reading about it all! have read most of your manuals now in 2 days. thanks!

I have recently started this program. So far I like it very much.

About corn, I have been air popping organic corn. I love it and was eating a lot of it–everyday!! I am so glad to get this info. I have stopped since I started this plan. On a popular weight watching program you may have air-popped corn a lot. I thought it was good for watching your weight.

You might read “The American Diet, A Recipe For Disaster” by Dr. Edmund Devroes. Even non-GMO organic corn is a fairly useless item in the diet as humans haven’t yet had time to adapt to corn as a food source. And yes, I eat popcorn once in a while.

Linda, you’re right – those peas and lima beans count as carbs.

Dalia, I definitely wouldn’t recommend eating corn tortillas that often. I would say maybe 3-4 times a week, maximum. It’s not so much that it’s bad – it’s more will you be able to eat those and still lose weight. See how your body responds to it. I still would say to limit your intake to 3-4 times a week though.

Isabel you did not mention anything about corn tortillas. Here in Mexico we get them freshly made from the tortilla shop. We normally eat some in the morning with breakfast, some in the afternoon with lunch and sometimes even at night with dinner. I know it sounds too much, but I would really appreciate if you explain further about eating corn tortillas.

Thanks for this information! I was not aware of the corn-additive.
As far as corn equaling a grain, how does green peas(yuk!)
lima beans(more yuk!) measure up? Are they like a starch
rather than a vegatable?

Have you seen “The Informant”? The movie talks about all of the ways corn has been genetically modified you mentioned. It also discusses how corn is in pretty much EVERYT processed food and how its causing an increase in child hood obesity. The only time I really eat corn myself is via corn tortillas or air popped pop corn occasionaly. The movie is a satire, but it kinda freaked me out!
