Overall, I’ve been doing a good job of avoiding the “avoids.” I have some nut bars that I keep in my purse that are mostly compliant, but not 100%. They do contain sugar, honey, sunflower seeds, and cashews, along with almonds, chocolate, and other things that are fine for me. Somehow they’re more satisfying than […]
La Enciclopedia ERFYT
La Enciclopedia ERFYT sirve de guía y referencia en la conexión existente entre los grupos sanguíneos y sintomatología, enfermedad, condiciones diversas, vitaminas, suplementos, hierbas, alimentos en general y protocolos a seguir. Cabe recordar que el primer libro de D’Adamo, ERFYT, permanece aun en la lista ‘best seller’ por mas de una década. En 1999 fue […]
More cheese struggles
I’m still struggling with the cheese issue. I thought I’d solved it on the first night of Shavuos, when I’d had fish, rice pasta, and vegetables, plus a tiny sliver of cheesecake, and about a teaspoonful of the cream sauce I’d made for Jack. I got this sudden feeling of “ugh! no more dairy!” and […]
Adventures in Free Food
I’ve been acquiring free food in a variety of ways. A couple of years ago, I blogged about Food Not Bombs, which has since been renamed “Community Solidarity.” Most of the food they distribute is donated from Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s- things like dented boxes of cereal, slightly over-ripe produce, and dairy products close […]
El maíz: alimento sagrado o bien….. todo lo contrario….?
El maíz ha sido sinónimo de lo sublime, de lo sagrado, desde que tenemos memoria de la historia en América. Remontándonos a la época prehispánica en América central aun antes de la conquista y colonización de América del norte; no se diga el resto de Latino América. Lamentablemente este atributo no lo convierte en la […]
Shabbos Cooking For One
Leah and Hannah have moved out, and Jack is away for Shabbos, so this leaves me free to cook what I want for Shabbos, without having to take anybody else’s dietary restrictions or food preferences into account. Before Hannah moved out, she often went away for Shabbos, but I still wasn’t free of cooking for […]
Se Repite La Historia!
Una vez más, reconocimiento a BTD por la comunidad medica Una noticia relevante y actual en relación a mi columna de la semana pasada titulada: Como zumbido de moscas (sobre la controversia de incluir cierto tipo de grasa a la dieta diaria, coadyuvando a la prevención de enfermedades cardiovasculares). Sobre el tema, la publicación este […]
Cooking for Two
Hannah just moved out about a week ago, and I’m developing new routines in the kitchen. There are some foods that Hannah enjoys eating that I don’t care for, or that contain ingredient I shouldn’t eat. Already I’m noticing that the fridge is less cluttered, without the “Hannah foods” that Jack and I are unlikely […]
El huevo, y su supuesto contenido de colesterol
Unos 20 años atrás como estudiante de naturopatia en Bastyr College, recuerda el Dr D’Adamo haber oído sobre la practica de limitar el consumo de huevos a pacientes cuyo colesterol fuera elevado, ya que un huevo de buen tamaño contiene como 215 mg de colesterol (prácticamente concentrado en su totalidad en la yema ). Estudios […]
