Hi, Tward410. Try here http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk. In general, you can find links to health-related shops through this link https://www.trimdownclub.com/where-to-buy-uk/. Keep in mind that it may not necessarily be called “SWG” or “sprouted whole grain,” but rather other names with “sprouted” in the title, such as “sprouted wheat”. If all else fails, brown/wholemeal products that contain only wholemeal flours (and no hardened or hydrogenated fats) are just fine, too.

Living in the UK, I cannot find S.W.G. products in any shop, one whole food retailer said they would look into getting it in for me, but I am still waiting to hear if they are successful…. Any idea where I can source this without paying 4 times as much for a quantity that would last me a month??? – amazon and ebay!!

I appreciate the feedback. I finally found the menu planner… It is okay, however, it “forces” you to choose a minimum of items even if some of those items are NOT what I would be willing to ingest. It does seem somewhat helpful though. I will give it a try and see where it goes from there.

Hi, LadyTenazby. You don’t have to eat anything with which you are uncomfortable. For that reason, the Menu Planner can be the best solution – just select the foods you wish to use and avoid the foods you don’t. Then even when you get your final menu if you aren’t 100% OK with a certain meal, you can swap out individual items (by clicking on the circular arrow icon). This program does encourage certain healthy foods, but ultimately you make the choices.
For recipes (link above), do searches for those with “Classic,” “Basic,” “Simple,” or “Homemade” in the title – these are favored among members who want what you are seeking.

Looking at the 14 day menu, I noticed that several of the items on the list are, for me, an absolute “no can do” Such as Almonds ever… No possible way that is gonna happen… Nuts in general actually… I cannot stomach any kind of nut (not even coconut) with the exception of peanuts, pine nuts, and cashews. What is Kamut? And fresh fruits are something I simply cannot get at this time… What are Edamame, Ghee, Tahini,and Amaranth? Figs are simply unavailable anywhere. Salmon is terribly expensive. Sardines? (yuck)
I was under the impression that there would be recipes etc… I am a more cook from scratch type of person. keeping it simple (no exotic bizarre things I have never even heard of) is vital… This is not a “simple” plan. I do not have time in my life to spend too much time on menus that are over the top (and honestly less than appetizing) I generally eat maybe once per day. I am willing to up that to accommodate a healthier lifestyle, however, whatever is on my diet needs to be simple, inexpensive, and easy to cook. Can you help me to make heads or tails out of this site to make it work for me?
