Cheesy Chicken

Joan_Shaffer — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 22:30:01 GMT

Hello Everyone,
Here is a recipe from Aajonus Vonderplanitz' new recipe book:

Parmesan Chicken
1 Serving

6   ounces raw chicken, diced    (Aajonus only eats raw; for those of us who prefer cooked, I am sure that is fine!)
4   Walnut halves
2   tablespoons stone-pressed olive oil
1   tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2   tablespoons raw cream
1   tablespoon finely chopped oregano
1   slice minced garlic clove

Blenderize walnuts into flour in a 4-ounces jar on high speed for 5 seconds. Add all ingredients, except chicken, and blenderize on low speed for 15 seconds. Spread over chicken. Eat immediately or marinate for 45 minutes.

Hope you like it.

Protein Type & Osteoporosis

margaretgough — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:24:32 GMT

I have severe osteoporosis & have been told professionally to have very little protein in my diet, particularly red meat & this of course includes dairy products. How can I undertake the protein type diet with this condition?

I also have chronic adrenal exhaustion and insomnia. Please what do you advise?

Alternatives to Bison

dwitko — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:17:54 GMT

Want to try the Prime Protein Meal Plan

Only problem is I live in the UK

Not too many bison roaming around - and noone in the shops either

Can anyone suggest a good alternative as Bison is sugested for at least 3 days of the plan?

Food Order for Eating

Kris Larson — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:54:41 GMT

According to the plan, we are supposed to eat all our protein first, then eat low glycemic vegetables, then and only then eat the things in the third category. This is an extremely unappetizing way to eat and bores my palate. This completely limits all meals to very basic grilled protein and simple vegetables. Does this mean I can never mix ingredients into a delicious recipe again? The joy of food comes from the blends and contrasts of textures and tastes. How important is it to eat food in this order and will I get any results if I don't do it, but instead combine these foods into delicious recipes which are more edible? If it's not possible to get results by eating these foods out of order, or in other combinations, please et me know now. Thanks.

High Protein Frozen Sorbet with Psyllium

Suzanne1 — Fri, 22 May 2009 15:02:43 GMT

this is the only way I can eat 2 tsp of organic psyllium powder daily. Because of this recipe, I never miss it. In fact sometimes I have it twice a day! I got the idea from the fact that the food industry uses psyllium powder to thicken ice cream and jams.

Must have: blender that really crushes ice (I have an Oster Beehive...works great)

4 oz ice water

4 oz frozen fruit (blueberries, org. rasberries etc.) or try a fresh fruit of your choice (I've done fresh apple w/cinnamon and nutmeg)

2 packets of stevia (I like Sweetleaf stevia ...loaded with FOS)

Mix in blender until liquid is gone...becomes a very thick blob.

Pour into bowl, sprinkle 2 tsp organic psyllium powder over top and fold with a fork.

Enjoy!

Suzanne

Be sure to use only ORGANIC psyllium powder. This is hard to source so you may want to order off Dr. M's website.

High Purine: Yummy sardine salad for folks who don't like sardines

Suzanne1 — Fri, 22 May 2009 14:54:49 GMT

I buy BRISLINGS (which are sardines that come from the cold water around Norway and Scotland)...I think they are healthier and higher in omega3 etc.

Take 1 can of Brislings and drain the water

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish and break up (flake) with a fork...(the lemon eliminates the "fishy" taste; lemon is not recommended for our type so if you want you could squeeze some of the lemon juice out before doing the next step.)

Mix in up to 1 Tablespoon of South River Azuki Bean miso paste (check Dr. M's list of beans that are beneficial for your blood type and use that flavor miso)

I stuff celery sticks with this and top with fresh cilantro (cilantro is not recommended for our type... however it binds with mercury and escorts it out of our body and it tastes great! )

Another option is sometimes I chop up a little bit of green onion and mix in the sardine salad.

Enjoy!

Suzanne

You gotta have heart! Easy recipe for folks who need more purines

Suzanne1 — Fri, 15 May 2009 13:24:19 GMT

The hardest part is to source ground heart meat. I get it from my butcher as he gets a 100% grass fed cow every Monday from a local ranch. I have him cut all the white stuff off and then grind the heart just like hamburger. Grass fed cows are small and so are their hearts, so a whole ground heart is usually about 2 lbs of ground meat (or less).

I started out mixing ground heart (25%) with ground chuck (75%), then upped it to 30/70, then 50/50 and eventually got to where I skip the ground chuck and eat 100% ground heart.

Taste: heart is benign tasting and the texture is stringier than chuck. So I like to super spice this up.

Recipe:

2 lbs of ground heart (or appropirate mix for you from the above)

1 package of Organic spicy taco seasoning (chili peppers are heavily sprayed..so I only eat organic chili and spices)

Sprinkle with additional very hot organic cayenne (to taste and optional)

Lots of Himilayan salt

SLOW cook in an enamel cast pot (like Dr. M sells at the store). I put this in the pot, add the spices, a little water, stir and cover. This "cooks" on the lowest heat on my stove for about a good hour or so. I set a timer for 20 minutes to go stir it up. When it's done, I store in a glass container and use about 4 ounces of my Mexican meat in my "salad" at lunch. This also makes a great breakfast. I put the fresh spinach in my steamer, add the 4 ounces of heart on the top, and steam lightly until the spinach wilts a tiny bit. Invert into a dish and push the spinach over to half of the plate so I can eat the heart first. I start with the meat and usually eat about 1/2 before I end up mixing it up with the spinach.

As the week goes on the meat gets less tasty so I sprinkle more cayenne or organic hot sauce on the meat after steaming it.

This also is my "fast" food. I only cook it once a week and I always have this high purine "food" to go...easy to scoop out. If I'm going out with friends I just take 4 ounces of Mexican heart and add it to my restaurant veggies or salad or whatever.

This is also amazingly cheap and very high in nutrition. The butcher charges me $1.99/lb for ground heart so for $4.00 I get about 7 or 8 meals!

Cheers,

Suzanne

PS: heart is loaded with COQ10 and I have no idea if my slow cooking on low heat is destroying the COQ10 or not. I assume it might but trying to preserve the COQ10 in heart is what caused me to start doing the slow cooking that Dr. M and Glen recommend.

Appies?

Special_K — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 05:09:08 GMT

worried about high cholesterol

kuether — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 00:35:08 GMT

I have just learned I am a protein type, I am concerned with the high fat content of the foods I am expected to eat as I have high cholesterol. I have been under the care of a doctor and nutritionist at a cholesterol clinic and for the past 8 months have not eaten eggs, cheese, butter, or dark meat. I have been keeping my saturated fat at 10 grams a day. If I start eating according to my Protein type am I at risk for heart disease?

Questions regarding poultry, vinegar, and 225-degree cooking for Protein Type

sleep2 — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:10:58 GMT

Hello! I just received my nutritional plan and discovered I am a protein type. I have three questions:

(1) I was surprised to see only dark meat for poultry - is that true, or can you have white meat occasionally?

(2) By reading other posts under protein type, someone mentioned not using vinegar - somehow I missed that - Is that true, and is lemon juice ok in dressings, marinades, etc?

(3) In my daily emails from mercola.com, sometime while back he was talking about cooking meats (chicken, burgers, etc) in a 225-degree oven. Can you tell me where I can resurrect those instructions, or can you reiterate them? It seemed to me that the cooking times were not very long considering the lower temperature in the oven and I was concerned that I missread.

Thanks,

Bonnie

Pro Optimal Whey advice

bobbychaos — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:33:09 GMT

Hi,

As a protein type I have been using Pro Optimal Whey frequently for a while now. I have just finished reading the book "Excitotoxins" by Russell Blaylock where he states that "Protease enzymes of various sources can release excitotoxin amino acids from food proteins" Since reading this I have been a bit concerned about using Pro Optimal Whey due to the Protease enzymes it contains. Hoping someone could put my mind at rest.

Many Thanks,

Bobby.

Protein Type Snacks

ejab — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:13:17 GMT

Hi everyone! I just took the nutritional typing test and found out I am a definite protein type. When I want a snack, I go straight to the organic peanut butter and celery. I just want to make sure that it's okay. Also, I appreciate any other suggestions for good protein snacks! Thanks.

Sprouted seeds

Hi,

I am a protien type and was wondering if sprouted seeds (vegetable and grasses) are any good for me.

Simple Recipes

andrealcarter — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:57:03 GMT

I haven't even started the new meal plan for protein types and I'm so overwhelmed! The meal planner is just too complicated for me. I really don't have the option of having meals that are so complex and diverse. I'm young, on-the-go, and my life is pretty spontaneous, so I don't always have the option of a sitdown meal. I LOVE the convenience and the idea of a breakfast shake or something ready in a few minutes (I've seen the link for the breakfast shakes). Is that something I can do when I'm starting out?

Also, I would really appreciate any tips or basic guidelines for quick and simple meals for say lunch and dinner. Also I love red wine. Is that something I can still have? What should I consider if I can still have it?

Thanks!

-Andrea

Confused

amywillfly — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:24:30 GMT

Dr. Mercola recently wrote a post where he shared what he eats for breakfast... as a protein type! And it was porridge! No flesh protein at all. Hmmm.... It is confusing as I feel like I am subscribing to something here that Mercola has researched and is behind... and yet it seems like he is not actually on the same page.

I want to make clear that I have been completely convinced of this way of eating. I am not wishing to begin eating porridge again. (When I eat porridge and only porridge for breakfast I am not able to stop eating it!) I am in the beginning stages of this path... and I have not been 100% on it... there have been times when I have "cheated" and had some coconut macaroons, or some such thing. But it is confusing to read this from him. Who is this that has developed this diet? Is it you Glen? Are you connected to Dr. Mercola? And why aren't you writing the books? (I say this with a smile, but in truth what I am reading on this forum is very very different from what I am reading in Mercola's books or on the website.)

Help me understand these contradictions...

Thanks Amy

Dairy, Egg Intolerance

Hello, I am new here.

I am a Protein Type but have High Dairy and Egg Intolerance. I went through the "'weekly meal-ideas " and there is egg and cheese almost in every meal. Any suggestions on how to overcome this problem?

Thank you, Erato

How do you cook organ meats? Are some organ meats dangerous (mad cow)?

Morningside — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 04:32:47 GMT

Hi, I'm a new protein type and I'm wondering besides liver, heart, kidneys - what other organ meats would suggest? What other organ meats are there? Sweetbreads and brains come to mind. I was at Whole Foods today in Toronto and the only organ meat they sell is liver. He said maybe he could get me a heart on special order, but that is all. I have another organic source for sweetbreads. Any suggestions on how to cook these organ meats? What have you tried that you really enjoy and how do you cook it? I remember having calves brains in a very exclusive French restaurant in Quebec years ago and they were quite delicious...and I'm sure they weren't organic. Are some organ meats dangerous to eat?

Protein Type Lunch

dogmom — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:22:32 GMT

While I love the meal suggestions, for me they aren't very practical. I do not have access to a full kitchen at work to whip up any of these wonderful creations. However, what I have been doing for quite some time is whipping up soup/stew type creations in my crock pot, and bringing those to work. As long as the ingredients are protein type ingredients, and I eat the meat first, will this work? Or will I be ripping myself off? I'm trying to figure out ways to make this meal plan workable.

A couple of questions for a new protein type

DRC — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 04:24:21 GMT

I've taken the online test four times and each time i come out a protein type. not a surprise, i also tested a protein type from walcott's book. it's just that the test in the book was so much longer and the questions so hard to answer i didn't have much faith in the outcome. particularly hard are the questions as to which foods provide lasting energy because i suffer from extreme and sometimes debilitating bouts of chronic fatigue and nothing really gives me energy.

anyway i was going to write down all my questions and wait to post until i had a complete list. of course that's impossible, i'lll always have new questions, so i'll start with these two. until i find a quality source of liver , are the dessicated liver tablets any good? and, what green supplements are good for a protein type? i'm talking about barley, wheat grass, etc. i usually buy something like green magma, or kyo-green, or g of l perfect food, and mix it with flaxseed. good or no?

Smoothie Recipes for Protein Types?

dogmom — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 03:09:32 GMT

Help! I just took the test and discovered I'm a protein type. During the week, I normally make a smoothie for breakfast, and drink it at work. I do not have time to whip up steak and eggs for breakfast, AND eat them in the morning! My smoothie has 1/4 cup ground flax seed, 1 T rice protein powder (dairy and I do not get along well) 2 egg yolks, 1 T coconut oil, 1 T almonds, 1 T walnuts, and 1 T pecans for protein sources. Also includes 1 cup frozen fruit, 1 oz pomegranite juice, 1 T gogi berries, 1 T green powder, and 1 cup water.

Cheers!
