I AM ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS, THE INGREDIENTS WHICH I USE ARE WHAT I CALL “SUBSTITUTES” WHICH I KNOW CAN BE EASILY ADAPTED TO MY RECIPES AND DIET. 

 

 I AM VERY GLUTEN SENSITIVE AND DO NOT DRINK COW`S MILK,  EAT ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS OR HYDROGENATED OIL. I NEEDED TO SUBSTITUTE THEM  WITH OPTIONS WHICH WERE MORE HEALTHY AND BETTER FOR ME, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEAT FLOUR CONTAINING GLUTEN I SUBSTITUTE WITH COCONUT FLOUR, SORGHUM, ALMOND, RICE, OATS (GLUTEN FREE), QUINOA, FLAXSEED FLOUR, AMARANTH  AMONG OTHERS.

 

 FOR COW’S MILK I USE NUTS AND COCONUT MILK, GOAT’S MILK, RICE, SPELT GRAIN MILK.

 

I AVOID USING SOYBEAN MILK AS IT IS GENETICALLY MANIPULATED AND ELEVATES THE ESTROGEN LEVEL IN THE BODY.

 

I AVOID REFINED SUGAR AND SUBSTITUTE WITH DEMERARA SUGAR, BROWN ORGANIC SUGAR, STEVIA, COCONUT SUGAR, AGAVE NECTAR (CORN SYRUP FREE), HONEY, DATE SYRUP, MOLASSES TO NAME A FEW.

 

AS FOR THE SATURATED FAT OR TRANS FAT OILS I SUBSTITUTE FOR UNSATURATED FATS AND CHOOSE OILS LIKE  COCONUT OIL, FLAX SEED OIL, AVOCADO OIL, GHEE, SUNFLOWER OIL, GRAPE SEED OIL, SESAME SEED OIL, OLIVE OIL .

 

SO REMEMBER, ALWAYS - MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES!!
