Ezekiel 4:9Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. - King James Version

In my quest for pursuing something more along the lines of Theron Randolph’s Rotation Diet, I discovered Ezekiel bread at the health food store. It seems that products that have the most potential to aggravate my system tend to be either milk and or heavily sugar laden foods, and items made with refined white flour.

Although this bread contains yeast, which also aggravates the systems of some people with my condition, I doubt that I have celiac disease, greatly restricting or eliminating items made with yeast also seems to be a good idea. Any way you slice it, though, getting back to whole foods as opposed to highly processed ones is always a good idea.

The Ezekiel bread and English muffins are fantastic. One of the more positive things about it is-it’s kept in the freezer and you take out a few slices or a single English muffin when you’re ready to toast it or use it. This cuts down on the waste from mold that might develop from a loaf of bread that’s been kept out at room temperature. I hate refrigerated bread; but frozen means I can heat it through and it still tastes very fresh. I’m going to experiment with making my own sprouted bread and gluten free bread, too. It’s a wonderful epicurian adventure! And whole foods are always better if you have the time to prepare them.

So I’ve been cooking a lot over the weekend so that I don’t have to cook much during the week.

Cod, Trout, Whitefish, clam chowder, pork tenderloin, baked sweet potatoes and a few other things will set us up very well for the week. Foods rich in iodine like fish are good for supporting the thyroid, which is also an inherited weakness, as my blood tests ‘borderline’ low for thyroid.
