TYPES OF HIGH FIBER BREADS THE JULIAN BAKERY OFFERS:
Sprouted grains
Stone-ground
Flax seeds
Whole-grain wheat
Oat bran
Millet
Quinoa
Sourdough (with whole grains)
Julian Bakery Smart Carb Breads are an excellent place to start as they provide several truly whole-wheat breads that are healthful and delicious as well. The Julian Bakery offers gluten-free high fiber bread for individuals that are allergic to this substance. By comparison, breads that are low in fiber are usually common white breads, breads advertised as whole wheat but containing low grams of fiber per slice (such as so-called “white wheat”), and breads high in sugar or sodium content.

A high fiber diet is vital for promoting good health. Fiber is the internal cleaning agent that just may prevent digestive diseases and help restore optimal vitality. Not just for the older generations, fiber is an important part of the menu and shouldn’t be left out.

Nut day is a different method that has shown a successful 1-2 lb loss.  The nuts must be eaten raw and choose nuts with the highest fat content.

An ex-patient should never gain more than two pounds without immediately correcting this, but it is equally undesirable that more than two lbs. be lost after treatment, because a greater loss is always achieved at the expense of normal fat. Any normal fat that is lost is invariably regained as soon as more food is taken, and it often happens that this rebound overshoots the upper two lbs. limit. Pounds and Inches

Concentrate on staying at 2500 calories for the day.  You can mix any variation.  Try eating some every hour as this will be quite satisfying.  There is the added laxative benefit as well.

Try this recipe sweetened cinnamon pecans.

Stir fry pecans with butter and cinnamon.

Take 1 ounce of Pecans and mix with butter.  Stir Fry in the pan and sprinkle with Stevia and cinnamon.  This is a very tasty treat.

This is very similar to the Steak Day but you are allowed to eat all day long.  Roast an entire chicken yourself.  Do not buy store bought as they may use sugar in their basting.

Eat both legs and thighs with skin on.  You can then eat on the chicken throughout the day as you are hungry even making chicken salad with mayo and sugar free relish.  Start with the dark meat and work your way into the white meat with the skin on.  This will give you the correct ratio of fats and protein.  General weight released is -1-2 lbs.

Recipe for Roasted Chicken:

• 1 (5 to 6-pound) roasting chicken
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 large bunch fresh thyme
• 4 lemons
• 3 heads garlic, cut in 1/2 crosswise
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup chicken stock

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outside dry. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the thyme, reserving enough thyme to garnish the chicken dish, 1 lemon, halved, and 2 halves of the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Cut 2 of the lemons in quarters and scatter the quarters and remaining garlic around the chicken.

Roast the chicken for 1 hour.  Continue roasting the chicken for an additional 1/2 hour, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.

I am going to start a series on Correction Days and also a breakdown of all the important sections in Pounds and Inches.  I learn something every time I read it and think breaking it down in nuggets will help us master our results.

Part 1:  Correction Day= Egg Day

Having an egg day which I have personally tried and seen the results from can generate a 1-2 lb loss the next day.  Unlike the Steak Day you can eat all day long, but only eggs.  No fruits or vegetables allowed.   Eggs are the most balanced protein and fat available and is a natural diuretic.   You are allowed to add mayonnaise, butter, cheese and sugar free relish.  Eggs whites are better.  On my egg day I mixed it up with boiled eggs throughout the day with some yolk included, egg salad for lunch and a big omelet for dinner.  You can also have deviled eggs or try this easy poached egg recipe. I showed a negative release of 1.8 loss the next morning.   Total eggs should be around 8-12 eggs for the day.
