Opnion on D-Ribose

deemccaffrey — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:42:24 GMT

Dear Mrs. McCaffrey,

Do you recommend D- Ribose and if so, how much? If not, why? Drs.

Eades recommend it in their book The 6 week Cure For the Middle Aged Middle.

I find I must eat Low Carb or I don't lose. I am 70 years old and have lost

11 pounds in the last year and am thinking of trying their recommendation to try to get this abdominal fat off!

Hope to hear from you about this as I respect your opinions.

Thank You,

Ann Huffman

Pregnancy and Plan-D

erinn — Thur, 05 Nov 2009 03:20:59 GMT

Hi Dee,

I'm reading Plan-D, and your book has brought these questions to mind that relate to pregnancy nutrition:

If a mother is practicing processed-free eating habits, will she be more sensitive to refined sugar? If so, how might that affect the results of the glucose tolerance test that's often used to diagnose gestational diabetes? Also, can processed-free eating help a mom avoid or 'counteract' a gestational diabetes diagnosis?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts -

Milk protien / animal protien

What are your thoughts on the work of Dr. T. Colin Campbell as outlined in his book "The China Study". He has some pretty convincing research on caesin (milk protein) and it's connection to cancer. I have stopped eating dairy at this point. I eat very little meat as well.

grapeseed oil

debbiegorman — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:35:46 GMT

I read that grapeseed oil is very healthy and a good choice for cooking because it can withstand high heat.....what do you think?

Didn't your newsletter say you were coming out with a tortilla? When will it be available and where?

Flax Oil

mdececo — Thur, 29 Oct 2009 22:00:54 GMT

Dee, in one of your workshops you recommended that people over 200 pounds take 2 tablespoons of flax seed oil per day and I've been doing this. I'm down to 189 (and counting) and wonder when I can reduce the amount to one tablespoon.

Patapar paper

mdececo — Thur, 29 Oct 2009 21:56:40 GMT

Hi Dee:

After more than 5 months (and 30 pounds) on Plan-D, I finally got around to ordering the Patapar paper you recommend for cooking veggies. When I saw the cooking times table on the Baar website I was a bit taken aback as the cooking times seem so long for veggies. I don't want mushy veggies......will these longer cooking times result in firm veggies?

A happy Plan-D follower.

Citric Acid & Maltodextrin

andraya77 — Thur, 15 Oct 2009 21:08:53 GMT

Hi

Blessings to you and thanks for all your dedication to the truth about foods. I have been very blessed by your ministry to others.

I keep receiving conflicting info about both Maltodextrin and Citric Acid.

I was under the impression that Maltodextrin was not good to eat because it was a form of MSG??? What is the truth and should products that contain this be avoided or not?

I was also under the impression that Citric Acid was a preservative added to food and was harvested from Aspergillus Niger black mould through a fermenting process??? What is the truth and should products that contain this be avoided or not?

Thanks so much & God Bless.

Stevia Use During Pregnancy

deemccaffrey — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:18:59 GMT

Hello! I'm a big fan of Dee's Mighty Muffins and her cookbooks. However, some of the recipes ask for Stevia. It was fine last fall, when I wasn't pregnant, but now I am. My research has indicated that stevia isn't recommend for use during pregnancy. Do you have any suggestions on a substitute for this ingredient for those who cannot use stevia? I've also completely avoided any artificial sweeteners for obvious reasons during this time.

The protein powder I want to use has soy that has the qualifier non genetically modified. Is this okay to take? Had been using Jay Robb and his also has soy in it.

Yucca Flour

deemccaffrey — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 04:13:25 GMT

This is a new post by Judy that I copied from another thread. I thought it deserved its own topic. You can read my answer below:

I am new here. Have followed Plan D for exactly one month and one day. Increased exercise from 20 mins. to 30 mins. five days a week. By the third week I had lost six pounds, but, for whatever reason, I gained back two and have kept them for seven days even though I am following Plan D to the letter!

Last week we went out for dinner at the new Brazilian restaurant. Expensive, but they had a lot of different veggies to select from on their salad bar. I avoided the actual salads because of the dressings. When they brought their specialty bread I told the waitress that we don't eat white flour, so didn't want the bread. The manager came over about a half hour later and asked if we were the ones who don't eat white flour. "Yes." Then he told us that their bread has NO WHITE FLOUR in it, but only yucca flour. Is YUCCA flour OK to eat?

Whole Food Vitamins

deemccaffrey — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 01:39:58 GMT

The following question was e-mailed in to me:

Hi Dee or Michael,

I've read Dee's recent Plan D book and am still confused about vitamins. I've checked several health food stores and vitamin chain stores. I still can't find one that I'm completely happy with. What kind/brand of vitamins have you been most happy with? Do you have any children's vitamins you'd recommend?

Also, with the swine flu threat coming up this winter, are there any immune boosting suppliments you'd recommend for my family?

Thanks a lot for any suggestions you may have! I love your books and recipes (in fact I'm baking the Better for you Banana Bread right now)!

Plan D Checklist and food lists

jcalla — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 19:32:53 GMT

Hi Dee,
I have bought both Plan D and the cookbook and am excited to get started. I came to the website in hopes of finding the Daily checklist and the food lists online so that I could print them out easily without ruining my book. My husband and son and I are starting Plan D and would love to be able to print out the check list as needed. I would appreciate any direction you can point me in to find these lists. Thank you so much for your assistance and I look forwards to the improved health and weight loss to come!!
