Hello,

Thank you for your explanation! I am familiar with the oat bran/fiber

information. It was the term " Euro Spa " that I wasn't familiar with. I haven't

heard the breakfast you describe called Euro Spa in the states. But perhaps I'm

out of the loop!

Regards,

Bruce

Bruce's on Euro Spa breakfast

This " Euro Spa " has been mentioned in connection w/

diet a couple of times. I'm afraid I don't know what

it is. What, for example, is a " euro spa breakfast "

Kind of surprised you are asking this because it was the Americans who

steamrolled the whole oaten bran thing - after it was found that the soluble

fibre in oaten bran was really good for heart health, through absorbing

undesirable fats and sugars, which in turn leads to better lipid and chol

levels. Even Safeway are selling oaten bran now, tho have yet to get around to

barley bran, which is slightly more palatable and v popular with bran

afficianados.

Example would be: one handful barley bran; one handful oaten bran; one

handful breakfast grits; one handful ground whole grains (eg. wheat, rye,

millet); one handful raw barley or wheat flakes; heaped teasp psyllium husk;

half handful seeds (eg flax, sesame, sunflower, alfalfa).

The whole thing is v nutritious, ie busting with Bs but also low carb because

the grain fraction is controlled. Also very anti bowel cancer because of the

brans and the fibre in the grains.

Breakfast grits: one part soy grits or coarse cornmeal/polenta; one part

millet flakes or meal; one part linseed meal; half a part sunflower meal; half

a part sesame seeds; quarter part almond or hazlenut meal; half a part lecithin

meal or granules.

I never saw it before! But I've been a member for only two months or so.

I did a search of the archives & while I found reference to the Euro Spa, I

didn't find the details that Lizzie posted today.

I appreciate her answering my question, and I'm sorry if it seems redundant to

others on the list.

Regards,

Bruce

I asked about it too. Always looking for more nutrition advice :-)

Happy New Year!
