 "I love sharing my ideas about food, but it is ironic to me that part of this process has been creating recipes that people follow, because I hardly ever follow recipes. I often consult recipes, typically checking several different sources, but then I end up ignoring them, varying the ingredients, using what's around, and learning from my experiments. That's what I like for people to do with my recipes.
Recipes offer step-by-step instruction, and some people want that very badly. Beyond food, people love recipes for health, wealth, spiritual well-being, sexual prowess, and a better world."- Sandor Ellix Katz, The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved (Get the book.) |

 "HOW TO CONVERT recipes AND MENUS
As you experiment with the Origin Diet, you're likely to find that most recipes are easily adapted to this new style of eating. Some recipes might require only modest changes, such as using nonfat milk instead of whole milk or substituting prune puree for the fat in an oatmeal cookie recipe. Other recipes might take some imagination, requiring several ingredient changes and some trial and error before you create a good alternative. The recipes most likely to fail the test are the ones heavily dependent on highly refined ingredients and sugar."- Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D., The Origin Diet: How Eating Like Our Stone Age Ancestors Will Maximize Your Health (Get the book.) |
 "Frozen greens are suitable for use in recipes for cooked greens but should not be eaten raw.

If not organic, they should be peeled, especially if they are waxed. With root vegetables such as carrots or beets, the above-ground ends should be trimmed. Some people drop their vegetables into a pot of boiling water for a minute or so to clean them before juicing. Use organic produce to avoid chemical herbicides and pesticides. The right juicer is important." - Elson M. Haas, M.D., The New Detox Diet: The Complete Guide for Lifelong Vitality With recipes, Menus, and Detox Plans (Get the book.) |

?There are no forbidden foods or dangerous fad-dieting rules in our program.

Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "Flaxseeds can be sprinkled on cereal and vegetables, added to breakfast shakes, or mixed into muffin, bread, or cookie recipes. ?When adding ground flaxseeds to a cooked dish, do so at the end of the cooking time. The soluble fiber in the seeds can cause the liquids in the dish to thicken, and high heat damages the delicate essential fatty acids in flax (and heating/frying with flax oil under high temperature generates cancer-promoting compounds). ?Add flaxseeds to your diet gradually; use 1 teaspoon on your cereal the first few times rather than 2 tablespoons. ?" - Steven V.

 "I recommend in our Tree of Life recipes that one can try substituting these oils for olive oil.
Conventional cooking oils should be avoided, as they have been highly processed. Even "cold-pressed oils" could have been influenced by heat at some stage of processing. Recommended oils include:
?Cold-pressed flax seed oil, which should be used within three weeks from date of pressing, as it is highly susceptible to rancidity
?Hemp seed oil, which should be used within six weeks from date of pressing, as it is highly susceptible to rancidity
