I saw this article today about the cost of diets, Atkins about $100 a

week and South Beach about $90 a week. It probably doesn't include

supplements either. Looks like you did a great job!

Hi Tom - Was wondering how one can eat 18 bunches of KALE in a month!

Do you eat it every day? Do you have different ways to cook it?

I have sauteed onions, garlic and fennel -- added browned tenderloin

tips and kale; when kale cooks down I add beef broth.

I love it but sure would be interested in other ways to prepare it.

Thanks.

What is so unusual about eating Kale every day? I don't, but I eat

collard greens, and sometimes kale, at least once every day, except

for the unusual time when I run out of both at the house. A typical

bunch of kale that I get at the store is only enough for 1 or 2 meals

for me.

I choose to eat collard greens more often than kale since collard

greens are a Tier 1 beneficial and kale is a Tier 2 beneficial.

Collard greens are higher in calcium than kale, which we Os need.

Also I think that collard greens are a little less expensive than

kale.

I eat greens of some sort 2 or 3 meals a day and sometimes snack on

seaweed. The greens in one of those meals are usually in a salad

with some mix of romaine lettuce, parlsey, dandelion greens (when I

can get them), and occasionally spinach.

Remember greens are important.

I didn't realize that distinction between Kale and Collards. If I'm a

Non-Secretor that changes the Tier system in some way, right? I eat

Collards, but not quite as much. I like the taste of Kale a little better,

but you're exactly right about calcium both that collards have more and that

O's really need it.

<<and sometimes snack on seaweed>>

Don,

What types of seaweed do you snack on? Do you eat it alone right out of the bag

or do you prep it in some way?

Thanks!

After I posted the message I remembered that you are a non-secretor

and that I should of made the point that the tier system only applies

to secretors. Since non-secretors don't have a tier ranking system

kale and collard greens are equal, at least from the beneficial

rating standpoint in LR4YT.

That's right. The non-secretor diet is automatically tier 2, for all the

values. I never could keep track of the tiers anyway

LOL--after all of this research, I find out that non-secretors have no tier

system. Might explain why I couldn't find one.---LOL.

[Guest guest]

Hi all - Thanks to all who replied re Kale. I will try different ways

to prepare so I can use more often. Thanks for the recipes. The bunches

I find in the market are quite large and one enough for 5 to 6 meals for

me. I have not noticed the Red Russian variety. I shall be on lookout

for it. --- Lorrie
