Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Yes cup 4 cup, but on your own birthday you should not restrict yourself. That is why you want to eat as well as you can other times. On a few occasions, you can " cheat " and still get away with it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! ABO Specifics Inc. - http://www.foodforyourblood.com substituting spelt My birthday is coming up, and I thought I would bake a cake of which I could eat a few bites, to satisfy my family who want to celebrate with me. When substituting spelt for wheat, do you use cup for cup? I thought I had saved some recipes that were recently posted, but I can't find them. I can just create something neutral, if I know the basic proportions. I have both white and whole spelt flour. Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I bake some cakes for my birthday too and am using white spelt. I just subsitute spelt for regular white wheat flour for regular recep. Sometimes I add a TB of Arrowroot or tapioca flour, when I feel I need a lot of gluten, but I think, I'm just overcompensating.LOL My cakes always turn out just dandy and company never knows I used spelt.

Personally, I think of my birthday as a day I want to treat myself as well as possible and that includes eating foods that make me feel good!! I've learned to stop thinking of high sugar/high carb foods as necessary to my enjoyment of special occasions. It's just food, it's not love, comfort, entertainment, etc. Changing that mindset has taken the focus off of food at these events and lets me enjoy the more important aspects like spending time w/people who care about me.

Just giving my opinion on it. I look at the foods I no longer eat as if I were allergic to them. No one would expect you to eat a food you were allergic to knowing it would make you sick, especially not someone who cares about you. I personally haven't found a time yet when I " had to " eat a food that is not compliant with my new way of life. I'm not going back to the way I used to live for anyone. If that hurts their feelings, then it's not my responsibility. You can only control yourself and your reactions to others, you can't control them or their feelings. That said, I don't think anyone needs to feel guilty or beat themselves up if they eat something they'd prefer to avoid. Just saying that you can have celebrations without feeling like you 'have to' have this or that food to make it special, in MY opinion.

Birthday, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas avoids aren't going to kill me and by deciding to splurge before hand I don't feel guilty and I get back on the diet sooner.

Even though I've never been that much of a cake fan. was just saying that you don't need to feel guilty when you're put into situations where you pretty much have to eat avoids.

That's one of my downfalls. I can't believe that I've only had one scoop of the stuff since I started this way of eating half a year ago.

I'm playing with the pizza recipe from CR4YT tonight. Added a tablespoon of soy protein to see what that does. It's pizzapalooza on foodtv tonight and I got a craving.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 They use soy protein in the book on other recipes and it's still considered a neutral. RE: substituting spelt > Please use the O protein in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Belinda, Even though we O Secrtors can have soy, if we don't have a reaction to it, we need to keep in mind that all soy comes from the soy bean. We should only have 1-3 servings of any kind of beans a week. If added to a bread of any kind that is a serving, if I remember what Heidi has said. You might like to go to http://www.dadamo.com/columns/begin/ask2.pl She is not a doctor, but she is familiar with the material enough that this column of hers can answer a lot of questions. You might want to see how far back she may have information. There are times she has to ask questions to find the information for people also.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Thanks, I'm still not worried about it. I added 1 tablespoon of soy protein for a recipe that makes two 12 inch pizzas. That mean it would be about 1/4 serving if I ate half a pizza. Oh, and it did help. Made for a much lighter, crisper crust. > Belinda, > Even though we O Secrtors can have soy, if we don't have a reaction to it, > we need to keep in mind that all soy comes from the soy bean.
