Guest guest Posted July 26, 2000 Report Share Posted July 26, 2000 Dear Vilik, I think there are holes in his theory that you could drive a Mack truck through. Ask a chiropractor about ear infections and they will tell you it is due to a tight muscle on the side of the neck which pulls the child's head over, cramping the Eustachian tube, and leading to ear infections. Ask a nutritionist about leukemia and they will tell you about the work done over 60 years ago by Dr. Wheeler (?) who found that leukemia was an antibody response to food, and that he could cure it with a diet change. Cells are going anerobic and becoming potential cancer cells every minute of every day in our bodies, and the body has a dozen different mechanism to clean them up. Cancer only grows beyond this stage when the clean up crew is subverted by a toxic buildup, and nods off. Did you see the interview on PBS' Tony Brown's Journal had the week before Hulda 's four-week set? He had a British doctor on who said that his 30 years of research had proved to him that the level of cleanliness was directly related to the level of albumin in the blood, which was directly related to general health. (Cleanliness is next to godliness!) And lastly, I wish it were true that vegetarians don't get cancer. I have calls from vegetarians all the time. In fact, two this week, both over twenty years without a morsel of meat. Best of Health! Dr. Saul Pressman, DCh URL: http://www.plasmafire.com email: saul@...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 My family hates vegetables. They do like fruit, though. Any suggestions? Even I don't really care for veggies, especially raw ones. It's just the way I grew up and have eaten for the past 39 years. Teach me!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 I hate veggies too, so I trick myself. Like someone else just mentioned, I put grated everything in to anything. Carrots, zucchini, etc. I'll even eat cauliflower if it's cut into tiny pieces and cooked into a burger with nuts, wheatgerm, etc. Very yummy! The La Leche League Whole Foods Cookbook has a great recipe for " green spaghetti " - pureed spinach and parmesan cheese sauce - its so good and looks really gross - just what kids like. selahdream@... wrote: > My family hates vegetables.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 I make my own salsa, and don't really have a recipe, so it kind of turns out different each time I make it. I can give you approximately what I use and you can adjust for taste. 4-5 medium ripe tomatoes 4-5 green onions 1/4 white or red onion 1-3 jalapeno peppers 2-4 cloves garlic black pepper cilantro Sorry I don't have exact measures, it depends alot on the flavor as you mix it. Sometimes I just chop all the ingredients in tiny pieces and toss together to give it a pico de gallo consistency (chunkier). Sometimes I blanch the tomatoes to remove the skins, then throw all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree roughly (not so it is totally liquid). I will also throw some random stuff in there depending on what is in the fridge... celery, carrots. Also if I can't use tomatoes from the garden (or organic from the healthfood store) I just use canned tomatoes because the ones from the supermarket are really horrible. Luckily, being in California I can get fresh or organic almost year round. Hope this helps. Jen B. P.S. The salsa will get hotter as it sits in the fridge, so I make mine a little mild to start. The first time I made this stuff, I made it to taste pretty hot the first day and by the next day when I tried some, it almost blew my head right off my shoulders!! <g> > The rumour goes so:- Veggies are so low calorifically (greens and cauli etc) that your system uses more calories to digest them than they're actually worth. > > Wives tale or not I'm not sure but there is some sense in it. > > Can anyone share a good recipe for salsa, that will keep in the fridge for a week.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Cilantro is also known as coriander and chinese parsley. There are about 300 million different types of chili peppers, but you can use just about any in salsa. Its really good with chipotle peppers, too.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Cilantro is a very punguent tasting fresh herb, and I believe it is sometimes referred to as Italian parsley over there. I could be mistaken about that (and please, if I am, someone rescue me). Jalapeno peppers are the small green chili peppers. Jabanero peppers are medium-size orange chili peppers, and are the hottest chili pepper you can use, so be careful with those.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 I eat my veggies mostly in big salads (spinach, romaine, broccoli, onions, carrots, sometimes kale) and then eat tons of red peppers and onions cooked with meat. You're right - not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. stephen www.xiveren.com " But you know something? Sometimes you have to break the rules to free your heart.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 I have used those steamers for years. Great and very versitle. Just a little water. Cooking times vary, Most things are betweeen 3 to 6 minutes. If you are mixing things;put in the long time things (carrots, brocoli stems etc) first then after a few mins. add the less time stuff(brocoli tops, greens etc) KM --- Kennedy <lambchop_71@...> wrote: > > I bought one of those vegetable steamers that fit in > a > saucepan to cook my spinach and broccoli.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Those little folding ones that open like a flower? I have one. I usually steam for about 5 minutes. Steam is hotter than boiling water, and I like my veggies on the crispy side. I've been sauteing more lately, in the meat drippings. Wow... new tastes for me and so yummy!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Hey Guys!!! I had the best dinner ever!!! Chuck steak on my Geo. Forman Grill. Just enough fat to be really tasty!! And...steamed veggies. I put a few carrots in the bottom for color and let them steam about 4 minutes, then I added the broccolli stems like you guys suggested. Then the broccolli flowers, I topped it with a few spinach leaves and sliced onion. I never knew spinach could be so goooooooooooood!! Wow. And I had a salad. It's too bad I am full, because I still want to eat more. LOL K. OKC __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Hey Tink, Bridgette already answered this, but, yeah, lentils aren't veggies. They're a bean and have 160 cals per 1/4 cup with 6 grams of fiber nd 12 grams of protein. As far as veggies go, I know I would make better progress if I ate more, but I just hate them. I buy them frozen, because I hate cooking, and chopping fresh veggies feels like such a chore to me (I know, I know, I'm being a total lazy whiner I like mixed veggies in bags (but buy ones without corn and peas, which have a lot more sugar); broccoli and spinach are fabulous choices. They're almost all fiber. Cucumbers and celery are great raw, because they practically take more calories to digest than they give you. Carrots are a tad high in sugar, especially when cooked. Tomatoes are also good. Dani > Dani, > > What veggies do you reccommend other then Lentils? Lentils are those > little beans right?

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 WARNING! Low GI Carb talk below..... Lentils are a carb. ) Veggies I love to eat are: Mixed greens- you can make a MONSTER salad and it is about 15 calories. LOL! I buy the bagged greens. Broccoli- I buy it precut and in a bag and dip it in fat free dressing. Tomatoes- I love to eat these with a LITTLE salt and lots of pepper! Asparagus- I could eat steamed asparagus all day. Onions, peppers, etc.- awesome in omelets! If you are looking for Low GI, low cal fruits..... Strawberries- these are awesome. I even dip them in Cool Whip Free. They are VERY low cal and low GI. I think a pint is like 100 calories. LOL! BOOHOO strawberries! Peaches, Plums, Apricots, grapes. They are all Low GI and low cal. Apples are good too. I have 1/2 c cottage cheese and a fruit as a meal all the time. It is about a 110-150 cal meal. You can add a salad for bulk and you will still be keeping the calories really low, whether you are trying or not. LOL! They are just low calorie fruits. The calories get high when you add the starchy carbs, but you should still have these at LEAST once a day. Don't try to go Low GI after a workout. I eat toast, a whole wheat tortilla, oatmeal or cream of wheat every day for my post workout meal. ) Hope this helps some Tink. Veggies Dani, What veggies do you reccommend other then Lentils? Lentils are those little beans right? I want to make sure I have lots of variety so I don't waiver. Thanks, Tink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
