With the Healthy express, I am reading 13 grams of carbs per slice or am I wrong?

Umpa, forgive me if I am overwhelming you.. I guess its obvious I am a newbie plus my lunch time is the only real time I get to do this..

So, I am Cuban and one of our all time favorite is Flan.  As you will discover, the caramel is what makes it. Do you think this is one of those impossible recipes?

BTW: you're heaven sent for sure!!!!!

You and Doug deserve national recognition for sure...  Let me tell you that you guys should work on a good tasty healthy school menu and present it to the school boards.. It surely would help with children obesity...

Thanks Paula. I know that commitment along with discipline is what going to make it happen. I have 4 kids and I want to see them grow up and be part of their lives.. So this is a MUST for me.. I also told my husband that I know its harder for the older kids (16 and 10) to adapt (which with time they will) but that this is the time to teach our younger ones (3 & 1) good eating habits..

I will approach it with baby steps, cause i know that I'm impulsive at times and I can become discouraged..

Ask Umpa / Thanksgiving

Hi Umpa,

So I was thinking that since Thanksgiving is around the corner, you may be willing to give us replacement ideas for those delicious traditional dishes.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and every year I cook with such pleasure and my family eats with such pleasure. I want them to enjoy again thsi year but in a tasteful and super healthy way..

Are you gamed for that?   :) ;) :D ;D ::) :P

im soooooo excited...

woo hoo..Doug I said something similar to that without reading the book.. (regarding the withdraws) yay 
I look forward to reading the book

I too have been on so many different diets or whatever they wanted to call them. I have done the pills, injections, shakes and anything that said would help me.. Though Atkins has the low carbs treats, I decided a while ago to stay away from them because I too realize that it brought the sweet tooth out, (that little devil) so to make things easier, I stayed away from it all together with the exception of splenda in my am coffee.

At first it was a little hard but that is because sugar mimics withdraw symptoms in my opinion, but once you detox your body, you are on a good path.. 

Its ok to fall as long as you NEVER FORGET TO GET UP AGAIN. 

One of the things that I think will help me soooooo much is the forum because I know that I am not doing it alone and can get that support that I know I will need.

I know you have what it takes and you need to remember you do too.   ;)

Hi Doug.

Ive been a diabetic for 5 yrs and have met with 4 different nutritionists who state that I should not have any "WHITE ANYTHING" except cauliflower. Then they told me that wheat and sweet potatoes are acceptable and healthy carbs.  I can only trust the professionals since I am not qualify to disagree.

2 of these nutritinists were during 2 of my pregnancies. What I can tell you is that I did apply the wheat theory and so no difference. My BG in the am were sky high at times. I ended taking up 140 cc of insulin in shot at night..  :o  my pharmacy even called the DR thinking he had made a mistake. Granted that hormises play a huge role in BG in a pg woman..

Since the birth of my last baby (1 yr ago July) my sugars have been stable with the ocassional spike due to be a bad girl.   :(

Please educate me though I know  youre going to say its all in the book I am anxiously waiting.  ::) :D

As for the book, before I found your site and email, I found it on amazon and the cookbook I bought through your ebay store.
