help for yeast and breakfast ideas

January 14, 2003

I'm sorry I started such a furor with my question about suggestions for

breakfast! I should have included a bit more info. I don't eat pork and eat

very,very little dairy. I really just wanted a few creative and easy ideas

incorporating protein and little or no carbs. I eat little wheat, but do eat

spelt, oats,etc. I very much appreciate all of the suggestions everyone gave-

and apologize again for all the ruckus!! Thanks- Ginny

Ginny, no apology is warranted here. If anything, you need to be thanked and

appreciated for participating in this family here. Sometimes it gets very

quiet and that just might be the day somebody who mostly lurks is reading and

needing all of this family. The more we give, the more we get - in my opinion.

I believe the breakfast game is a really big mind set to overcome for us, at

least it was for me. Dr. DeWet has me on a powdered drink in the mornings

which really has taken this stress off of me. By the time I take that, I am

stuffed. I have many mornings I just go in and eat left overs out of the

fridge. Soup, veggies, beans, rice etc. I don't mind a salad 20 times a day,

in fact, I crave them. One of my big pushes over the past two years has been to

find recipes for healthy salad dressings. Dr. DeWet will say to his patients

that IF IT HAS A SHELF LIFE, YOU DON'T. I am THINKING that I also have heard

Ethel say this but cannot be sure of that. Certainly, it is something I think

she would say. For this reason, I don't use purchased salad dressings and I

have been surprised at how good mine have gotten. I have never been able in my

life to make wonderful salads but now, I am known for them. We never do know

where life is going to take us, do we?

Back to the breakfast, like you, I occasionally indulge in oak meal and I

really like it. Once one can think in terms of not breakfast but just another

meal, then a lot of the battle of the choices has been done. I also have

homemade jelly without sugar, yes, it looks different and has a different

texture but so what :>), should I think I have a sweet tooth. I will have a

piece of spelt toast with an egg, also. But then, I also will have that for

dinner as that is as good then as at our " selected " breakfast times. I hope

this helps you. This diet part is a really HUGE part of the journey, and I am

speaking in terms of discipline. It is hard at times, isn't it? And I am not

sure it ever will get better. Being southern, I LOVE all the things I should not

have. I just have discovered that for me, I have to love where I want to go

more, and sometimes I make the wrong choices and pay for it.

Huge, warm hugs to you, Ginny, and to all the rest of us, me included, who

are crossing a rather unknown land. Love,
