Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Substituting with regular foods instead of organic or raw shold not have too much of an impact on your weight loss if you stick to the pattern of the menu planner int terms of amounts of foods that fit your activity level. Staying active also helps. |
Lynn 11 years ago | HI I’m a new member and I too am finding the raw ingredients difficult to find and understand. Added to that is the problem I work away from home in remote isolated communities where a lot of these products are just not available. if I substitute normal processed foods for organic or raw until I go home will this stop me from losing weight altogether? |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Raw dairy is dairy that has not been heat-pasturized. It is believed that this preserves the true nutritional value of milk, cheese, etc. |
Chubby 11 years ago | What is raw cheese and raw granola? |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Even where legal, raw dairy products are rarely found in stores, even health-oriented stores. The following is a link to find them in your area: http://www.realmilk.com/where-other.html#can. Having said that, we certainly would not want you to risk anything, so substituting with organic is absolutely fine. |
smcdonald624 11 years ago | how do I make raw granola? they don’t really give a recipe that I can see .. maybe I need to look more? |
smcdonald624 11 years ago | I tried to purchase raw milk etc but every store says its not legal .. I live in toronto .. where can I purchase raw milk in toronto? It’s frustrating because your recipes either ask for raw milk, raw butter or raw cottage cheese… is there any other type of milk, butter or cheese that can be used as an alternative in the recipes? |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Unprocessed cheeses are fine. |
Valerie 11 years ago | what’s an alternative for raw cheese. |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | These items are available in health-oriented stores, including chains like Whole Foods and Trader Joes. Most of the grains are cooked like rice, and the soy products come ready-to-eat or frozen to be reheated. Nearly all are featured in our recipes (see “Downloads” above). |
chickaroo 11 years ago | I just joined and have been reading the Express Meal booklet. I don’t understand the lack of directions or the types of foods listed. I have never seen or eaten soybeans, edemame, Kamut or SWG bread to name just a few. I don’t know how to prepare or where to buy these items. I live in rural area and my local store will not carry all these things. Did I make a mistake in joining? |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | “Uncooked” in parentheses next to a food item does indeed mean to measure it before cooking – not that you are supposed not to cook it. |
patruckle@net-change.com 11 years ago | what is meant by “uncooked” in parenthesis next to a food item? Is it the mearsure before cooking or am I suppose to NOT cook it, such as oatmeal. And what is meant by “raw” in parenthesis next to diary items usch as Cottage Cheese? Surely it doesn’t mean unpasturized fo I didn’t think that was safe. |
