Q: Can anyone recommend any Yeast-Free Diet recipes or meal/snack ideas? Or tips on how to stay on track?
My wife has just gone onto a Yeast-Free diet and is struggling as she has a sweet tooth and is missing the suger and especially the chocolate. She has been suffering headaches, tiredness and mood swings. Can anyone offer tips on what she can do to stay on track or even any foods she can eat a little to treat herself? Recipes or ideas for snacks in particular - and also breakfasts, lunches and dinners - would be helpful. Anything you can offer would be appreciated.

A: Wow, this is a very challenging diet. I went on it after I had my first child. The best thing to do is focus on what you CAN eat. Here is a list: Proteins: Eggs Beef Chicken Seafood Turkey Pork Lamb Duck Pheasant Goose Veal Cornish Hen Nuts, Peanut Butter, Almond and Cashew Butter Vegetables: Asparagus Avocado Beets Broccoli Carrots (limited) Cauliflower Celery Eggplant Green Beans Leaf Vegetables (Lettuce, Kale, Collards, Mustard, Greens, Swiss Chard) Onions Peas Peppers Potatoes (in moderation) Radishes Squash Tomatoes Turnips Misc: Oatmeal Hummus Seeds (Sunflower, Pumpkin, Sesame) I have some recipes on my website that might work for your wife's diet. Here is the link to one for sesame crackers that does not have any yeast or leavening in it; high in protein, it is one of my favorites: http://www.elanaspantry.com/2007/05/03/sesame-crackers/ I hope this helps and good luck to your wife.

Q: Help with diet/recipes that contain little to no meat?
I was raised in a meat-loving family so I never was used to eating salads, nor do I know how to make vegetarian meals. Now I have a medical condition that requires me to lay off red meat completely, and to have very minimal white meat. I'm allowed to have some free range fish and eggs, but the diet is supposed to be based on vegies, lentils, chick peas, and such. Please share some of your vegetarian recipes or links to help me out. Thanks :)

A: Amy's Soy Mac-n-cheese, add Soy Knox or Smart Dogs. Amy's Indian food or Trader Joe's Indian Food (Dal) with rice. Veat 'Salmon' (pan fry in olive oil, garlic powder and capers or lemon juice) serve with rice and a salad. Hummus, pita bread and a salad. Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon - make a BLT add avacado.

You can also top it with sliced veggie cheese and serve on toasted sourdough with mustard. Gardenburger Riblets, baked potato, broccoli (w/ lemon, margarine and garlic) and a salad. Pasta w/ marinara sauce, if you have Boca Itailan Sausages cut them up and add it to the sauce.

Clean portobello mushrooms, cut up, saute in olive oil, garlic and a little soy sauce. Serve with salad. MorningStar Farms Sausages (not the breakfast ones) are good on homemade pizza - add mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, onions, soy cheese. Easy Corn Chowder Soup – 1 can each of White Corn, Yellow Corn and Creamed Corn, including the water from the can. Cut up celery add to the pot, add a little rice dream milk. To vegetarian refried beans add mild green sauce. Add soy cheese if desired. Make Spanish Rice – Far East and/or Rice-a-Roni makes it in a box, just add tomatoes. Serve in a burrito, taco or tostada – add lettuce, tomatoes, soy cheese and avacado to the top. Quorn turkey roast, with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Use leftovers on for a 'turkey' sandwich or in soup - Vegetarian Chicken Noodle Soup 6 cups of pure water ¾ cup Vegetarian Chicken Soup Base 6 organic celery stalks, chopped 1 ½ cups sweet onion 6 carrots, chopped finely 1 package organic noodles (rice, corn or barley) 1 package of Quorn Tenders (or use leftover Quorn Turkey Roast cut up) Sauté Tenders lightly in olive oil.

Q: What are some good diet recipes to make, I love chili so any diet chili to make? (with meat)?
I'm looking for some recipes that can help me lose, but a recipe that will give me a few leftovers.For example when I made the chicken soup, I had 26 cups, enough for a while to last me, so I want recipes to last me, since I don't have a whole lot to spend on dieting all the time.

A: Depending how how low cal you want to make this, I can make it really low cal and very good, but it takes a bit of work. Spray a non stick sautee pan with a bit of Pam. Then add diced 1 yellow onion, 2 cloves of garlic and half a pepper. Cook for about two minutes then add about 1/4 c. chicken stock, 1 finely diced chipotle pepper in adobo with about 1 tsp. of the sauce, and about 1 tbsp. each salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin. Let this cook on a light simmer until the liquid is almost gone. Then add about 1 lb. ground turkey breast. Sautee this up until almost done. Then add 2 large cans of diced tomatoes, 1 can of light kidney beans with the liquid and 1 can of dark kidney beans without the liquid. Mix in 1 tbsp each salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Also 2 tbsp. of seasoning salt. Let it simmer on low for about 1 1/2 hours. It freezes really well. I do this all the time. Made it for superbowl and I thought I was going to have leftovers, but nothing.

Q: can any one please give me some Raw Diet recipes for my Bull Terrier?
i have a 4 month old bull terrier and she has bad allergies and her coat is starting to fall so i wana try the raw diet i been researching and wana make a change for her, can any one help me out with some good recipes thz.

A: There is no need for recipes - just approximate ratios!! aim to feed about 70-80% raw meat, 10-15% bones and 10-15% organ. This is not as complicated as it sounds as these amounts are fed over a week or two not every day. Feed your pup about 2-3% of his projected adult weight from a wide variety of protein sources. My dogs and cats eat chicken, beef, lamb, pork, fish, eggs and kangaroo. I currently have a 4.5 month old SBT pup and she and the rest of her litter were weaned straight onto this diet. Today she had a chicken drumstick for breakfast and will be having kangaroo mince and lamb heart for dinner. Start slowly with bone in chicken breast or quarters for a few weeks and then add one new thing once or twice a week once you know she is not reacting to anything.

Q: Does anyone know any cheap Atkins diet recipes or foods?
I'm going on the Atkins diet soon and I've been looking at what I can and can't eat. The price of food is going up in the UK anyway but if you're eating lots of protein it's going to be even more expensive. Can anyone suggest cheap protein or cheap recipes please? Many thanks

A: The incredible edible egg is always a good choice. Chicken thighs are better than breasts. Buy in bulk if you can. Here is a wonderful low carb recipe site. Very few odd ingredients found here. Most recipes are done with whole foods found in any grocery store.

Q: I would like diet conscious recipes for penne ala vodka, tuna steaks, salmon and desserts please?
I am on a diet and I am getting bored with the same things. Please help me with your diet conscious recipes. Thanks

A: Low Fat Tuna Steak Bring something new to the table! White wine and dried basil bring a distinctly Sicilian taste to these luscious yet low-fat tuna steaks. START TO FINISH: 45 minutes MAKES: 4 servings 1pound fresh or frozen tuna steaks, 1 inch thick 1small onion, chopped 2cloves garlic, minced (1 teaspoon minced) 1tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2pounds roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped 1/2cup dry white wine 1/4to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1/4cup pitted ripe olives 2tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained 2tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil, crushed 1tablespoon chopped fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried mint, crushed 1/4teaspoon kosher salt 1/8teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1tablespoon lemon juice Thaw tuna, if frozen. Cut tuna into 4 portions, if necessary. Rinse tuna; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. In a large skillet, cook onion and garlic in hot oil over medium heat until onion is tender. Add tomatoes, wine, and crushed red pepper. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 7 minutes. Add olives, capers, and dried basil and mint, if using; cook for 3 minutes more. Sprinkle tuna with kosher salt and black pepper. Add tuna to skillet on top of tomato mixture. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes more or until tuna flakes easily when tested with a fork and is slightly pink in the center. Transfer tuna pieces to 4 serving plates. Spoon tomato mixture over tuna. Sprinkle with fresh basil and mint, if using. Drizzle with lemon juice. For this recipe you will need: 2 pounds of salmon filets, ¾ cup of low or non-fat sour cream, 1/3 cup of low or non-fat mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 8 ounces of low or non-fat cream cheese, 1 minced clove of garlic, 1/3 cup of your favorite white wine, salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash the salmon and pat it dry with a paper towel. Use a non-stick spray such as Pam and spray your 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the salmon filets in the baking dish with the skin down in a single layer. In a medium size bowl, blend together the sour cream, mayonnaise, flour, lemon juice, cream cheese, garlic, and wine until smooth and well blended. Now, with the back of a spoon spread the mixture over the salmon. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper and paprika to your liking. Do not cover and bake for around 20. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure your salmon is done and not overcooked. The internal temperature should be 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The salmon will still cook once you remove it from the heat source. Do not go by color alone. You can also prepare low fat salmon recipes on your grill or barbeque and create some wonderful low fat sauces to enhance the flavor of your salmon. A great sauce to serve along side grilled salmon is a low fat lemon dill sauce. For this sauce you will need: 2 tablespoons of non-fat mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, ¾ teaspoon of dill weed, salt and pepper to taste. Blend together all ingredients with a wire whisk and refrigerate until ready to serve. LOW FAT AND EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE 3 c. flour 2 c. sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 tsp. baking soda 3/4 c. oil 1/3 c. cocoa 1 tsp. vanilla 2 tsp. vinegar 2 c. water Mix all ingredients together well. Dump into a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 35 minutes. The recipe calls for dumping ingredients into a 9 x 13 pan and mixing well with a fork. I like it better mixing well in a bowl then dumping into the pan.

Q: does anyone have recipes for a liquid diet?
i am looking for liquid diet recipes that i can make to help me lose weight. i am interested in something like the lemon juice and red pepper. i am looking for other recipes also to try. I do not want to take laxitives, i just want something to get rid of water retain. can anyone help?

A: One of the best liquid diets in my opinion isn't something you make yourself, its the Isagenix system, which can help you lose 10 lbs in about 9 days. The diet consists of meal replacement shakes, which are high in protein and many essential vitamins and minerals that you actually wouldn't get from your regular diet. On top of the meal replacement shake, you're encouraged to consume one low calorie meal per day. On top of the shakes, there is one day a week (or more depending on the system you order), when you don't eat and have nothing but water and the Isagenix Cleanse formula. The formula is rich in vitamins, minerals, and natural antioxidants (such as yucca root and ginseng), which will clean your body of harmful impurities. Besides making you feel better (a number of day to day problems such as fatigue are a result of toxins), it will help you lose excess fat, which stores these toxins. In short, fat has toxins--lose the toxins, lose the fat. My friends have safely lost weight with this system, and I have gained more energy and feel better when I wake up in the morning than I ever had before (I had no weight to lose so I had the shakes as an addition to my meal, not replacement). The system is a great way to detoxify your body and lose weight. If you're interested in purchasing it retail, check out jovanplamenac.isagenix.com Also, if you're interested in obtaining the product WHOLESALE (up to 100 dollars off on certain systems), contact me at jplamenac@ucla.edu You can not only receive this great product wholesale, but by referring friends you can GAIN COMMISSION. The product doesn't only pay itself off, but offers additional income if you put effort into promotion. Don't hesitate to check it out!
