Hi, Ovive. Yes, that would be considered a sprouted grain bread. Looks great.

omega 3 0.2

The most popular is Food for Life http://www.foodforlife.com. Others are good also, but be sure to read the label for undesirable additives such as hydrogenated fats and added refined grains.

Can someone please give me a specific brand name of a SWG bread? I am a little confused on this topic. Thanks

Hi, Naomi. It is unfortunately that some areas are slower to take up healthy products, but thank goodness for the internet. Coconut sugar syrup is just simple syrup you can make from coconut sugar (currently considered the healthiest sugar) available here http://www.greenlove.co.za/cacao-with-coconut-sugar-organic-140g/

Hey Ossie. I am a normal meat eater. Sometimes I will go without meat for long periods, because I want to. I am definately not a Bread lover. If any I will eat 2 slices per week, I would prefer crackers that bread. I think SA is a bit behind still with all the musts on labels. I dont see what % of grain is in Whole Grain and dont wanna buy it. I will then buy Rye Bread, but apparently that is also made of normal flour. I have to learn alot about shopping and just want this to be normal for me. I read the article about Organic and its very interesting, but now I dont like peaches anymore – I would rather go without it than hunt it down all over Cape Town. I have my own business and 4 Kids (husband included :)) – so its not easy making time to fit all these things in. OOOOO – I must sound like a “nagg” and I am sorry, but I want this more than anything – I want to be healthy. I introduced Omega 3 (Krill Oil), Spirulina and Pro-Biotics into our lives and I feel good. Now its time to move on to this project. Its just frustrating that everything is not available. I looked at the recipes and things like “Coconut Syrup” – I’ve never heard of. Thanx for your kindness and willingness to help me.

Hi, Naomi. I don’t know what your preferences are in general, but if you like bread, I would suggest getting used to a good whole grain bread – sometimes it takes trial-and-error to find one you like. Then whole grains for cooking – start with swapping out the refined ones for whole/brown, and then each week introduce a new grain for cooking. Along the way, maybe try less meat and more beans. I don’t know if you are an omnivore or vegan, but if the former, try to get grass-fed meat (http://www.greenlandsmeats.co.za/) at least once in a while – if you cut down on meat in general, the price will balance out. Same for dairy. Getting used to better sweeteners can be an early or eventual step – I suggest starting early, because if you are a sugar lover, this will take some getting used to.
Regarding the recipes: do you like to cook and experiment? Do you have time? Most people seem to like the recipes with “homemade” or “classic” (or even “simple”) in the title. If you like something more, I would suggest just going through the lists in the Menu Planners, and trying a couple each week until you find something you like.

Hey Ossie. Thx for the reply. I went onto the website and I will be able to get to R500. I will be very selective though, but at least I can start somewhere. Is there any suggestions from your side as to what I can start with thats easy and as I learn the program I can add from there. I looked at the recipies and they all look so yummy, so just want to know what is the best to begin with. Thanx so much for all your help.

Hi, Brandon. That’s just fine.

Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago

Hi, Naomi. Can you get to R500 at a time? http://www.wellnesswarehouse.com/shop/?dep=5
Other than that, organic is critical for a few things, not as much for others. See the Club article here https://www.trimdownclub.com/when-to-go-organic-2/. Hope this helps (if not, please write back).

I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I was very excited when I 1st came across this site. I immediately joined, but to my suprise, everything I read, made very little sense. I have no idea where to even get all the ingredients to make a simple meal. Spent almost 3 weeks on google and finaly found a shop almost 100 km away that can help me with a few ingredients. I dont want to give up!!! I really want to do this. Organic is another word for “To be Rich” – that I am not. Is Organic the only way to go? Is there a more easier way to start this and not have to kill yourself in the money department? I like fresh vegetables and made a nice pot of cabbage soup, no extra salts ect. just a combination of greens. Its great, but I cant seem to incorporate that into my daily plan. Can some-one pls help me to get started, again… I DONT WANNA GIVE UP>

SWG – sprouted whole grain. I just learned this tonight by reading through several posts.
I’m new to the site n to having to reach outside of myself to lose weight. Always one to be in shape n active. After issues with life; lose of my brother, dating a plus sized man that eats fast n large quantities, and switching to a sit down job I’m finding it difficult to get in gear. Please help. No family our friends nearby so I’m taking walks w my ipod.
