I have seen conflicting information about oats. Are they good for Os? I know thwey have gluten which we are meant to avoid. I am looking for breakfast ideas besides egg and essene bread as I don't like to eat too many eggs. I used to balance this out with porrridge some mornings, but now want to add soem protein with my breakfast somehow. I just found a protein shake made from rice milk and tofu which looks great. Anyother grain / protein ideas that are beneficial to O's? i know we arn't mean to eat many grains but balance feels right to me and i like to have some at breakfast with protien and the rest of the protein and veggies esp seafood and greens which I just love, esp salmon!

This is a reply to # 10,201Oats once in a while won't harm, at least not for me but I can't have them everyday. Breakfast is the worst part for me when it comes to this diet. Some times I'll make a shake with the just a very small amount of oatmeal, different fruit (bananas, blueberries, pineapple) and soy milk. So far, that has worked best for me. Most of the time, I skip the oatmeal and have a slice of Ezekiel bread with almond butter on the side. Hope this helps.

This is a reply to # 10,204Thanks for your reply :) I agree breakfast is a bit of a pain with this, everything else seems good. I am using essene bread in the mornings, the nut butter sounds good. I am looking into a protien shake but am confused about the whole soy / whey dilemma as they have both been written up as bad.

This is a reply to # 10,205I have to avoid whey. After all it's dairy. Soy is ok in limited quantities. I think it's on the neutral list. I can't do soy protein shake from soy protein powder. I found that that a glass of soy milk from whole soy is alright. I know it sound like it's not much protein but using whole organic foods, even in small amount, will keep you going a lot longer than a whole lot of food that has little nutrients in it. Plus being able to eat red meat get's enough protein into the diet even if it's only a couple of times a week and chosing a natural meat makes all the difference.

Choosing a Natural Meat... what would the alternative be? Is there an Unnatural Meat? Or do you just mean avoiding Oscar Meyer Weiners and things with nitrates added?

MoreThis is a reply to # 10,212Most commercial red meat, like beef, not just Oscar Meyer Weiners, is not a healthy option because it is primarily grain fed and full of hormones and Antibiotics . In order to get health benefits from the meat you need to find "healthy" meat that is grass-fed and organic, meaning it is free from chemicals and hormones. That's what I meant by 'natural'.
