Hi, GFRice.

I just avoid the grains. I do not try to make things out of substitute ingredients which imitate the things made with grains.

Some use coconut. Some use tapioca flour or rice flour.

My food plan is just as unique to me as Deb's is to her.

I eat according to a food plan which is anti-inflammatory.

I eat beef, beef fat, beef bacon and liver, chicken liver, wild Salmon, egg yolks (am allergic to whites), pastured butter, cream (which I also use to make yoghurt), a few herbs and vegetables. I eat fewer than 20 carbs per day. I follow much of the Failsafe Diet for choosing vegetables.


I don't eat any packaged/prepared/refined foods, and of course, no sugar/sweets/artificial sweeteners or alcohol.

I don't eat legumes or sweet fruits. I don't use nuts or seeds or their oils.

I don't eat anything with phytic acid, which blocks mineral absorption.

I don't use recipes or spices, except black and white pepper.

Dr. Kurt Harris' dietary recommendations at his site, PaleoNu, have helped me very much. I find his whole site to be an excellent reference.

All the best to you.
