Re: beyondhom Re: rubric help & thoughts needed

Funny you should say that Liz they did a doco on McDonalds last week and the chips are there dipped in a sugar solution - dreadful for diabetics!! Flour was not mentioned.

  How right you are. The chip thing (French fries to you) is probably because most commercially produced chips are dusted in wheat flour to improve their 'flow' properties and stop them sticking to each other as they freeze. So I now always ask the waiter to check with the chef before I order chips with my steak.

  Yes - wheat - it doesn't upset me too much, but I lost a stone in weight without even trying over 6 months on the exclusion diet, in spite of eating my fill constantly (on foods good for me) so I think that could be because of the wheat clogging up my colon. Once it went, I got back to a better weight.

  And I'm good old O Rh+ so nothing abnormal there - just a hunter-gatherer diet (apart from chips!) suits me best. (Protein and actually quite a lot of carbs if I analyse myself with the metabolic diet.) But I prefer to just judge what makes me feel good. So....a big juicy steak, some mixed salad and chips - yum!! And a nice cold glass of white wine. Perfect!
