+ Metabolics - Low Protein Living

So Organic

2010-09-22T18:02:21Z

My husband and I grow our own organic foods and we mostly buy organic fruits and veg. Lately I have been enjoying pumpkin tender leaves from our allotment and therefore getting extra shots of iron FREE.

Do you grow your own veg?

Nutricia Products

2010-09-11T17:21:16Z

I just found this forum a few days ago and only today realized that I can get low-protein foods through the site. It’s been hard for me to find food I can eat around where I live, so I’m happy with that. I’m having trouble deciding what to get. Please share with me what some of your favorites are.

Spices to Boost Metabolism

2010-09-22T16:09:34Z

I’ve heard that one can use strong spices such as garlic, cayenne, and mustard power to boost and speed up one’s metabolism in an effort to lose weight. Does anyone know if theis is 1) true and 2) if so, safe ?

Health Food and Natural Food Stores

2010-09-18T14:52:37Z

Would it be worthwhile to shop at health and natural food stores? I suppose they would be about the same as other stores, except that the products wouldn’t have chemicals and preservatives in them, but I’ve been thinking about it and decided to ask.

Low-Protein Nuts

2010-03-19T03:18:32Z

Is there a nut that is low in protein? I haven’t eaten nuts for a long time because many of them have high proteins. I can finish a can of almonds or pistachios when I was a kid. I can’t eat nuts now because I’m on a strict diet.

Dinner party tricks

2010-09-16T21:52:43Z

Does anyone know of any products you can use to make a PKU dinner party meal look and maybe taste just a little better for an average person who is not used to it?

Entertaining

2010-09-15T11:30:07Z

Are there any Nutricia foods you would recommend for entertaining at home? I am planning to make dinner for a few people, about half of them will be on the restricted diet which is so familiar to me. It would be great to have a few things that don’t need much preparation.

Hydroxycut

2010-09-15T12:22:45Z

Is anyone familiar with how effective the product called Hydroxycut is for weight loss ? I’ve heard it is good, but not necessarily safe and was taken of the market for a short while.

Planting Vegetables

2010-03-24T03:11:50Z

Have you considered growing your own vegetable garden? I thought about this today since I’m buying a lot of vegetables for my low-protein diet. I think it will help reduce my expenses when I grow my own vegetables.

Herbs That Help

2010-09-08T13:51:37Z

Has anyone found any herbs that help PKU? There seem to be herbs that help just about any medical condition, so I’m wondering if anyone is using any and what you’re using them for.
