I'm "waquin" and am new today to LDL. What a wonderful website! God bless you Roger!
I saw you and your wife on Christian TV this morning and you gave your website out.
I believe God led me to your website through TV this morning.
I've spent the better part of two hours on this website.
I will have to order your book tomorrow, but am finding great recipes to get started.
I had a TSH panel done for underactive thyroid on Monday and will know the results next week.
I have gained over 20# since last August, after having pneumonia.
I know that doesn't sound like much to some people, but I'm 5'4" and weigh 152# today.
I have gone up from size 12 to size 16.
I know I can lose this excess weight following your plan, as beans (any kind) are my favorite food. Your refried beans/eggs recipe for breakfast sounds awesome. Can't wait to try it tomorrow morning. Hopefully, that combination will help me with my carb cravings.
I have a profound weakness for bread and potatoes.
No sugar cravings, don't really care for sweets.
Here is a recipe I want you to check out to see if it's acceptable for LDL.
Cinnamon is more than just a simple spice. It has the ability to control hunger, zip up your metabolism a bit and helps diabetics process insulin more efficiently. Research has shown that cinnamon can cut blood sugar levels by as much as 20 to 30 percent. Further, it has a natural appetite suppressant quality and may help increase your body’s production of muscle mass. Do you love that? But wait there’s more…cinnamon may help lower your cholesterol levels anywhere from 10 to 30%.
Is that cool or what? But here’s the kicker—cinnamon can also help tame your sugar cravings! Now whaddaya say we get some cinnamon going for breakfast this week? Here’s a recipe that will get you started using cinnamon without the sugar:
Chicken Tandoori
Serves 4
1 (6 ounce) container no-fat plain yogurt
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons paprika
8 chicken legs (skinless)
spray oil (olive oil spray is best)
In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with all the spices - sea salt through paprika. Set aside.
Place the chicken in a large, resealable plastic bag. Pour the seasoned yogurt mixture over the top, using a spatula to get all of it out of the bowl. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal it up. Place in the fridge and marinate overnight.
Preheat your outdoor grill to about a medium heat.
Remove chicken from bag, removing the marinade. Spray the chicken with the oil spray to prevent sticking on the grill.
Cook the chicken on the grill, turning every 2 minutes or so or until nicely browned on all sides. Turn down the heat on the grill to low and continue cooking (still turning every 2-3 minutes) till chicken is cooked through. Enjoy!
