During the time one wants to heal metabolic imbalance/ insulin resistance / diabetes – the smoothie plus the described salad is all one takes. My DH has only had this with maybe a time or two eating a vegetable dish I made for the past 4 months or so.

Did this replace all other food? or was it a breakfast, lunch, snacks thing, plus a dinner. Would you mind sharing a bit more information about that?

sorry didnt mean to say winter months – summer months! in winter nothing grows here

AAJ,

Thank you for writing… sounds like that person should stay away from MSG and all the other nasty chemicals he has now become sensitized to if he is vomiting from eating instant noodles.

Indian cuisine is ancient and based on a deep medical/scientific understanding of the effect of foods and spices on the body – not only is that garam masala tasty and do an awesome job flavoring a dish – it is also good for the body! (I am sure I am not telling you anything new there

In the US and likely in India, MSG is hidden by many different names and is pumped into foods like crazy to cover over the fact that people are eating tasteless non-foods like doritos chips and other junk food. I am a scientist and I find the MSG name landscape daunting. I am convinced that only a food chemist in the food industry can definitively identify and avoid MSG and other dangerous food additives.

We try to never eat prepackaged foods and make everything from scratch. We also raise our own chickens for eggs and meat and our own dairy goats more milk/cheese/yogurt, etc and we grow veggies in the winter months – all so that our food is not exposed to these nasty chemicals – chemicals added to cover poor ingredients or to make the food easy to handle during the manufacturing process and not to add anything to the consumer’s nutrition.

Its a crazy industrial world out there isnt it!

Thanks for your comment..

Hello,
This article is very informative. I know a kid who start eating instant noodles every alternate days after he turned two. his mother used to feed him with it as he used to refuse to eat other things. He fell sick badly with respiratory infections and now a days he has acidity very often. i’ve seen him vomiting many a times after eating instant noodles or pasta. I am sure it also affects the digestive system very badly especially if consumed in such industrial amounts daily.
In India, we get lot of instant mixes, you’ve just heat, add veg/meat to it and the curry is ready. but we use ground spices too to add taste to our food, called as garam masala. I feel that’s better as we atleast know that we aren’t consuming any MSG.

Thanks for the information.

I always use PAM cooking spray for cornbread muffins and banana bread!

I use Pam for so many things. I especially like to bake cakes, but things like meat loaf and lasagna are so much easier to clean up after when I use Pam.

I like using PAM spray for my enchilada casserole and oven french toast!
