Thank you for all your helpful posts! I have your cookbook and am really enjoying the healthy options even before getting started.<br /><br />Quick question - can you reccommend a substitute for olive oil? I&#39;m allergic. Is canola ok? Thanks!<br /><br />MeredithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-35342824186061599242010-01-22T19:36:11.804-08:002010-01-22T19:36:11.804-08:00Thank you so much for all these wonderful recipies! I have been on the elimination diet for 9 days. My nutritionist recommended this as an adjuct to my treatment for spondyloarthritis. I am very full on this eating plan. I noticed around day 5 that my body ached for sugar...I did not realize how much refined sugar was in my diet before! I am enjoying foods that i did not even know existed! I am following the E-diet to the tee, I am looking forward to a fresh start! Thank you for caring!barbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-20515369899682271952010-01-05T21:01:17.497-08:002010-01-05T21:01:17.497-08:00I LOVE the green apple dressing - I did the elimination diet this summer and I still prefer this dressing over anything else for coleslaw and I&#39;m still eating it daily this winter! For the coleslaw I finely chop (in my food processor; in batches) one whole head of green cabbage, 3-4 large beets, and 4 large carrots (the whole mixture looks pinkish/purple at the end). Then I store that in a covered container in the fridge. Then I pour the green apple dressing over it just before eating. For the dressing I actually alter the recipe a bit and reduce the garlic to 1 clove, add 1Tbsp of agave nectar, and 1/2 tsp of Herbemare. It&#39;s great garnished with cilantro. This coleslaw and dressing combo got me through many &quot;moments&quot; during the phase 1 of the elimination diet. Your pesto recipe over rice noodles was a favorite as well!

And, in fact, we have stories of people completely normalizing their blood sugar while on the diet. Phase 1 was difficult for one individual so Tom suggested adding all beans and nuts which helped him stay on the diet and see dramatic results. Good Luck!<BR/><BR/>Mike - Yes that smoothie is very tasty, though it is not my creation, it comes from my good friend, Jenna.<BR/><BR/>-Ali :)Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04581435966686625594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-40420237768993758172009-03-25T09:07:00.000-07:002009-03-25T09:07:00.000-07:00I cant wait to try the pumpkin seed smoothie.

Have always wanted to try it since I have gotten your cook book but just didn't know if I should.Bonnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-21991626057569918272009-03-24T09:56:00.000-07:002009-03-24T09:56:00.000-07:00meghantelpnerblog - Thanks, I am planning on posting plenty more e-diet recipes coming soon.<BR/><BR/>Coconutgal - Great point, I had not thought of that. I think it would be great to send in your story even though you followed a different elimination diet. Essentially the goal is the same with all of the diets. Just state in your story the overall points of the diet you did. And this goes for anyone else reading this as well. <BR/><BR/>Stories can be emailed to me at info@wholelifenutrition.net <BR/><BR/>Thanks, -Ali :)Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04581435966686625594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-5614470252268479072009-03-24T07:36:00.000-07:002009-03-24T07:36:00.000-07:00Great recipe ideas!<BR/>I have not been on your 28-Day Elimination and Detoxification Diet myself, but have done many elimination diets and basically live on an elimination diet now.<BR/>I would love a copy of your cookbook!! I am not eligible to enter a story about my own trials with elimination diets am I?!? :-)<BR/>Anyway, thanks for all your wonderful ideas and I so appreciate that you take the time to share these for free. You have no idea how helpful recipe ideas are to people who feel alone in the way they eat!!<BR/>Hugs xoxoCoconutgalhttp://bananasncoconut.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-34611830009119619132009-03-24T05:52:00.000-07:002009-03-24T05:52:00.000-07:00This is so great!
