BREAD WITHOUT WHEAT

MY 160 POUND WEIGHT LOSS

YES IT CAN BE DONE.

Alright. Ive told you that wheat is not good for you. I’ve posted SOME of the information. 
I could fill pages with articles, videos and studies that prove WHEAT IS SLOW POSION. And we should avoid it. 
So what to I do without wheat bread? How do I have sandwiches?
I make my own bread, and crackers. I use almond flour, coconut flour, and flax meal. I also make Oopsie bread, also called Cloud Bread. It’s made from eggs and cream cheese.

First let me tell you about Almond/Coconut bread. 

It makes great bread for toast, sandwiches, and even croutons. 
The recipe is a good base for many kinds of bread. Herb bread, rye bread, coffee bread, even banana bread.
I put ripe bananas in it for a very good dessert bread. 3 ripe bananas, some coconut flakes, and walnuts. WOW. I could sell it for $8 a slice. 

Then for sandwiches I make Oopsie bread, also called KETO or Cloud bread. It is light, you can make it any size you want. round for hamburgers, square for sandwiches, rectangular for hot dog buns. 
It’s made with eggs and cream cheese. 

Here are videos of some of the "WHEATLESS" bread that I make:
Oopsie / Keto / Cloud Bread

Carnivore / Keto Flatbread

Keto Almond and Coconut Flour Bread

And don't forget the CRACKERS
Almond Flour Crackers

You can also use these recipes to make great pizza dough.

Oopsie or cloud bread is great for burgers, sandwiches and hotdogs.

You can make it round for burgers, square for sandwiches, and rectangular for hot dogs. You can make it ahead of time and keep it refrigerated. Just make sure you separate the slices with wax or parchment paper so It won't stick.

You will save LOTS OF $$$ and be healthier without it.

STOP EATING WHEAT

My 160 Pound Weight Loss and How I Did It

What I Learned About WHEAT

Like I’ve said. 12 years ago I began an in-depth study into health and nutrition. I found that we have been LIED TO about many things.
One of the MANY lies we were told is that Wheat is good for us. And that we should eat “Heart Healthy Whole Wheat” products. 
That lie has caused so much suffering in this country and the whole world it’s saddening. 
The purpose of the USDA is to sell grains. I learned that when you combine diet related causes, around 900 people a day DIE from following the USDA Dietary Guidelines called the Food Pyramid also called the “My Plate”. Where we were told to eat MORE harmful grains and less healthy animal meat and fats.  
As a result of my study I lost 160 pounds and LOTS of health problems. I learned to cut out grains, especially wheat, even organic whole wheat is bad for you. I learned to cut out sweeteners and seed oils.  I learned that animal fat and meat is good for us. Seed oils like canola, soy, and corn are BAD for us. 
When I tried to tell people about the dangers of wheat I heard,
“the bible says we should eat wheat” and about “Ezekiel Bread”. 
Then I found this article during a search. Back then you could do a Google search and actually find TRUE information, not like today when Google censors searches to push government and big pharma lies. The article is “Does the Bible Say We Should Eat Grains?”
So THAT took care of that argument. 
Next I found a book called “Wheat Belly, Lose The Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health” by Dr. William Davis. That book was part of what changed my life. 
I listened to MANY health related podcasts. I found out about the LCHF ( Low Carb High Fat ) lifestyle. And so my life changed.
I am going to link to some of the videos and articles I found about wheat. 
I welcome you to scroll through this blog to fine my earlier posts where I talk about Wheat. I’m reposted many of the posts from my blog from over 12 years ago. 
Read the book “Wheat Belly” here is an online PDF version. And check out Dr. Davis’s web site. He has an updated version of the book and lots of helpful information. 
The Wellness Mama website with the article about wheat in the Bible.
The toxicity of wheat affects every organ in the body. Even the brain. Dr. Davis talks about this in “Wheat Belly”.
Another book you must read about wheat’s affect not he brain is, Grain Brain” by Dr. David Perlmutter. By Neurologist, Dr Perlmutter.
There are MANY videos on the dangers of Wheat one good one you should watch is, "What's With Wheat? What’s With Wheat?’ is a hard hitting investigation into the growing epidemic of wheat & gluten intolerance, and why after eating wheat for thousands of years, it has been linked to so many health problems. Tens of thousand of people are suffering with ill health and don’t realize it’s a result of the food choices they are making.

Dr. Jane Ruby interviewed Dr. Le Merritt on her podcast. Near the end of the interview Dr. Merritt says, we should take care of our health. That we should cut out wheat and that wheat is TOXIC.

SOME of the DANGERS of Wheat

The Alarming Dangers of Wheat: Unveiling the Health Risks

 

Introduction: Wheat, the most widely consumed grain in the world, has become a staple in our daily diet. However, recent research has unveiled the hidden dangers of consuming wheat, shedding light on the potential health risks associated with its consumption. In this blog post, we will explore the various ways in which wheat can negatively impact our health and provide examples to support these claims.

1. Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease: One of the most well-known dangers of wheat is gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. For individuals with celiac disease, consuming gluten triggers an autoimmune response that damages the small intestine, leading to malabsorption of nutrients and various health complications. Even for those without celiac disease, gluten sensitivity can cause symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

2. Inflammation and Autoimmune Disorders: Wheat contains a protein called gliadin, which has been linked to increased inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is a key factor in the development of various autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. Consuming wheat can exacerbate these conditions, leading to worsening symptoms and potentially life-threatening complications.

3. Blood Sugar Imbalance and Type 2 Diabetes: Wheat is a high-glycemic food, meaning it quickly raises blood sugar levels after consumption. This rapid spike in blood sugar can lead to insulin resistance, a condition where the body becomes less responsive to insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. Over time, insulin resistance can progress to type 2 diabetes, a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels and increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other complications.

4. Weight Gain and Obesity: Wheat products, such as bread, pasta, and baked goods, are often high in calories and low in essential nutrients. Consuming large amounts of these foods can contribute to weight gain and obesity, increasing the risk of various health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the consumption of wheat can have detrimental effects on our health, ranging from gluten sensitivity and celiac disease to increased inflammation, blood sugar imbalance, and weight gain. While wheat is a staple in many diets worldwide, it is essential to be aware of the potential risks associated with its consumption and consider incorporating alternative grains and whole foods into our daily meals. By making informed choices about our diet, we can significantly improve our overall health and well-being.

The Wheat Deficiency Syndrome

by Dr. Davis

Beware the dreaded Wheat Deficiency Syndrome. This is what will happen to you if you eliminate wheat, the food that the USDA and U.S. Dept of Health and Human services tell us, through their Dietary Guidelines for Americans, to eat more of. The American Dietetic Association, the American Heart Association, and the American Diabetes Association also all agree: Terrible things will happen to you if you eliminate wheat. You will develop Wheat Deficiency!

So what does the Wheat Deficiency Syndrome look like? Like any other syndrome, you can recognize this condition by its many tell-tale signs:

–Flat abdomen
–Rapid weight loss
–High energy
–Less mood swings
–Better sleep
–Diminished appetite
–Reduced blood sugar
–Reduced blood pressure
–Reduced small LDL and total LDL
–Increased HDL cholesterol
–Reduced triglycerides
–Reduced C-reactive protein and other inflammatory measures

Of course, you could choose to cure yourself of this syndrome simply by taking the antidote: foods made with wheat flour like bread, breakfast cereals, pastas, pretzels, crackers, and muffins. All the signs of the syndrome will then disappear and you can have back your protuberant abdomen, irrational mood swings, exagerrated appetite, higher blood sugar, etc. and you will have satisfied the requirements for a healthy diet as advised by the revised Food Plate.

There is so much information about the dangers of wheat available online.

Like I said, Google censors results that go against USDA and BIG Pharma talking points. As I find more of the videos and articles I'll post hem.

I posted this on Facebook:

SLOWLY BEING POISONED

It’s the food we eat that is the greatest risk to our health.
Are you having health problems?
Look down, your problem is staring back up at you.
It’s the food on your plate.

One of the biggest culprits is WHEAT.
They modified it for greater yield.
Yield increased 10 fold.
They modified it for greater stability.
The dwarf wheat can stand up to high winds and low moisture.
BUT THEY NEVER CONSIDERED HOW THE CHANGES WOULD AFFECT OUR HEALTH!

Todays wheat is a slow poison. It affects every organ in the body. From the brain to the skin.

Read the books called “Wheat Belly” by Dr. William Davis and “Grain Brain” by Dr. David Perlmutter

Remove the poison. Regain your health and save money in the process.

 GROW YOUR OWN

I’m aware of the high price of food and how difficult it is for families or even individuals to make it now days.

I watch videos people post of what they are going through and it breaks my heart. I can say that about 90% of their food dollars are spent on JUNK that should NOT be eaten, or even allowed to be sold. They should JERF, Just Eat Real Food. That would save 90% of their food bill.

Everyone should grow their own. It’s a lot easier than you think. Most everyone can have their own INDOOR garden, YEAR ROUND. Where they can grow all the fresh vegetables their family needs. Even in winter. You can do it in a single room or an apartment as well as a house.

Start a Kratky hydroponic garden. I have one and I harvest fresh greens indoors in my pajamas, even in winter. See how I do it.

Kratky Method Hydroponics

Kratky Method Hydroponics

The Tanks

It's been a fairly mild winter here in central Kentucky. We did have a short bitter cold spell. I've seen worse. No matter the outside weather I still have an indoor garden in a spare bedroom turned office and now hydroponic room. I use the Kratky Method. It's so simple. No hoses, no pumps. Just set it and forget it. It's so nice to be able to harvest fresh greens in the comfort of your home, in your pajamas. YEAR ROUND.

I've planted many vegetables. A few of my favorites that are so easy are. Kale, Spinach, Lettuce, and Onions. I've planted Tomatoes, Peppers, and even Bush Cucumbers.  I love to make my own Kale chips. I'll post more on that. 

Here is my Kratky Hydroponic garden. I use 10 gallon Rubbermaid Totes I buy used at Goodwill. New Rubbermaid Totes will cost about $20 each. Used ones from Goodwill run around $3. I found the 10 gallon to be the best size.

Used 10 Gallon Rubbermaid Totes from Goodwill Stores

Used 10 Gallon Rubbermaid Totes from Goodwill. 
Color doesn't matter. Make sure you get lids to go with them. 

Use a Hole Cutter to cut various size holes for Net Pots

Net Pots

You will need to cut holes in the Rubbermaid tote lids. If you buy used totes from Goodwill stores make sure you buy ones with lids. If you can't find them with lids, you can always use styrofoam sheets cut to size. You can buy the green styrofoam insulation board from a hardware store and cut it to size your self.  Use a hole saw the size of the net pots you will be using in the tote. I use 2 inch, 3 inch and 4 inch Net Pots. 

Cut Holes in the Lids for Net Pots

Various Size Net Pots

Nutrients

The next thing you have to consider is nutrients for your tanks.  There are many sources of nutrients available. I've tried a few different ones. There are organic nutrients. And you can make your own. Learn more about nutrients here.

Along with nutrients you should have to consider water. I do not recommend tap water. I use rain water. I have several 275 gallon IBC totes hooked to the downspouts on my shop. If you use IBC totes make sure you use food grade. 

Grow Lights

LED Grow Lights

The nice thing about hydroponics is you can grow indoors or outdoors. If you have a green house or bright sunroom that's all the light you need. 

If you are going to be growing indoors you will need grow lights.  I started out with Fluorescent tube grow lights. I still have them. NOW I use LED grow lights. LEDs are much lighter, cheaper and cost about half to operate than the fluorescent lights.  

There are many lights to choose from. Click here for a link to lights on Amazon.

Here You See My LED Grow Lights

Planting Medium

You will need Planting Medium to put in your net pots to start your seeds and grow plants.

There are a couple things you can use. Some people use Rock Wool, some use Coconut Coir. I've tried both. I prefer the Coconut Coir. Coir, also called coconut fibre, is a natural fibre extracted from the outer husk of the coconut.  

Rock Wool Planting Cubes is made of material formed by spinning molten mineral or rock.

Here is a picture of Coconut Coir in Net Pots, ready to plant and place in the Rubbermaid Tanks

Net Pots Redy for Tank

Plants Growing in Coconut Coir Planting Medium

Seeds

You'll Need Lots of Seeds

And of course you will need seeds. With hydroponics you use the same seeds you use in an outdoor garden. You can purchase seeds from many sources, even at Walmart. 

One Company I like to use is True Leaf Market. It is an online site. They have all kinds of seeds. Check them out.

What you plant is up to you. You can plant in tanks, large jars, and buckets For larger plants like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers you will want to use a 5 gallon bucket. 

Click here for net pots for 5 gallon buckets

Net Pots for 5 Gallon Buckets

You can get FREE 5 gallon plastic buckets, called pickle buckets at local sandwich shops. They just throw them away. I've gotten as many as 9 at a time.

Get FREE Buckets

Harvest Fresh Greens

You Can Even Grow 2 Onions Per Net Pot

Harvest Fresh Onions

Cut Fresh Kale As You Need It.  It keeps Growing

Fresh Kale For Kale Chips

Fresh Lettuce

---------------------------

It's So Simple. Harvest Fresh Vegetable Year Round 

So you see, it's very simple and inexpensive to have fresh vegetables all year round in the comfort of your own home. 

You can grow for yourself if you're single. For a family, and even grow to market. 

With the all the uncertainties we face, with rising food costs, chemicals in the food.

NOW IS THE TIME TO GROW YOUR OWN.

POSTS FROM JUNE 24 2011

 This website is dedicated to all those who are over weight, or have health problems, and want to learn why. Why is it that you do everything you are told and STILL can't lose weight. You diet only to gain the weight back. Why is it that you don't feel like you would like to. Is it just part of getting old?

I'm going to tell you how I went from death to life. What I've learned during my decade long study into health, diet, and nutrition, how I live now and give tips and how to information. I offer help free of charge.  I hope you will join me in my journey.

The picture on the left is me at over 340 pounds. The middle picture is after an 80 pound loss. The picture on the right in me after a total of 160 pounds lost. I didn't start at the gym UNTIL I lost 140 pounds.

SALTY CRUNCHY

MY 160 POUND WEIGHT LOSS

My study into health and nutrition began 12 years ago. At that time I had just lost my wife to a health related illness. I was obese and in bad health myself. In the following  2 years I lost 160 pounds and lots of health problems.

I started a blog to talk about what I had learned back in June of 2011. I have posted most of my old blog posts here on this blog. Go back several pages to read the first, and work yourself up to the newer posts.  Some of the links are no longer active, it has been 10 years. I will be adding updated information.

This blog is about me learning to lose weight. It took me a while to learn and do. But I lost 160 pounds and lots of health problems.

I did it by learning what to eat and what to avoid. It's simple, anyone can do it. 

No diet, 

No doctor, 

No pills, 

No surgery, 

No exercise, 

No counting calories. 

Simple, JERF, Just Eat Real Food.Paleo, Keto, LCHF, Low Carb High Fat. Ancestral. What ever you call it, it's a lifestyle not a diet.

One of my weaknesses was potato chips. You can put all the candy, cookies, cakes and pies around me all you want and I won't touch them. But potato chips, now I would have a hard time resisting them. 
SO, I found a healthy alternative. It's the salty crunchy that I miss.
I now make KALE CHIPS.
I'm making some today. Using my own hydroponically grown kale.

I thought I had posted about this in a previous post, but I can't find it so here it is.
Here is how I do it...

#1 harvest or purchase fresh kale.

#2 Wash and dry it.

#3 Take the stems off

#4 Coat it with olive oil

#5 Put it on your dehydrator trays and dry it.

#6 When dry put into a ziplock bag.

#7 ENJOY

START YOUR OWN INDOOR KRATKY HYDROPONIC GARDEN AND ENJOY

GROW YOUR MEDICINE AT HOME.

 Prescription drugs taken as directed kill over 110,000 Americans a year.

God has given us all the "medicine" we need in nature.

You can grow your own medicine at home by sprouting. 

What are the benefits of sprouts?

Sprouts are the germinated seed of a vegetable, young plants on their way to full growth.

Sprouts are jam-packed with vitamins and minerals, fiber and are a great source of antioxidants,

For instance Broccoli sprouts will be loaded with vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid and they are a really good source of the powerful antioxidant sulforaphane.

Sprouts can also carry other nutrients like B vitamins and minerals like phosphorus and magnesium. Plus, they’re low in calories.

Sprouts help you fight illness and are anticancer

Raw sprouts, especially broccoli sprouts, have a plentiful supply of antioxidants. Broccoli helps activate and strengthen our body’s natural cancer protection.

Broccoli sprouts are about 50 times more powerful in cancer prevention than the mature plant.

Sprouts support healthy digestion

Raw sprouts are also good for your gut. Studies have shown that the soaking process actually increases the amount of enzymes available to the sprout, and increases the amount of fiber in the sprout, The fiber combines with enzymes to help break down food more efficiently, making sprouts a great digestion-friendly addition to your diet.

Sprouts improve insulin resistance

For folks who struggle with insulin resistance find sprouts to be a helpful addition to their diet.

Sprouts boost the immune system

The natural bioactive sulforaphane compound in sprouts helps activate the body’s immune response against viruses.

You can enjoy fresh sprouts all year long.

CRAZY TIMES

What crazy times we live in. Shortages and rumors of shortages everywhere. 

 I haven't post here for sometime. With Biden's "Dark Winter" upon us I thought I should try and help those trying to eat healthy in a time of shortages.

Most food shortages don't bother me. I JERF, Just Eat Real Food. 95% of the junk they call food in the supermarkets should be avoided anyway. 

 You should be buying as much food directly from your local farmer as you can. The farmers need us, and we need the farmers, now more than ever. 

There is a website that lists local farmers that sell to the public all across the country it's EatWild.com CLICK HERE  

 GROWING YOUR OWN GREENS

I've posted in the past about seed sprouting as a way to have fresh greens in your home year round. Scroll on down the blog to find the post on sprouting.

HYDROPONICS

Another way to have fresh vegtibles is home hydroponics. There is a new method of hydropoonics that I have just learned about. It's called the Kratky Method. Easy as pie. No more air hoses and pumps
