Guest guest Posted January 19, 2002 Report Share Posted January 19, 2002 Mary P. What they say about millet in the "The Millet Diet" by Bibiji Inderjit Kaur is that unlike other grains millet is alkaline not acidic and helps to balance the blood sugar. This booklet has recipes and would probably be well worth the investment of $10 for the variety it would offer your diet. She has a recipe for a millet type of cake using matzo meal with the millet & a little salt. You make a dough and bake it. I know what you mean though about eating millet for 40 days. I would recommend that you experiment with other grains keeping to the same amount and just see how you feel. As long as you keep the calories down you will still lose weight. If you start having cravings you could go back to the millet until the cravings subside. Yesterday I went without millet (I don't weigh myself but have lost an inch since Jan 1) Yesterday I ate my tofu with a mashed up sweet potato flavored with Braggs, garlic and Tamarind (I have Tamarind extract from the "ethnic" section of a food co-op, it is from India). The sour taste of the Tamarind was great on the sweet potato. I had just heard some friends talking about the benefits of sweet potatoes for women so felt like I wanted to have some. That was a delicious variation and very filling. I hope that is helpful to you. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 Quinoa and Amaranth are both alkaline producing grains. Most grains are acid producing with rice being closer to neutral than most but it is still acidic.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Sat Nam, The best way to find out if a millet substitute works is to try it. Keep track of what you do so you can report and be "scientific" in your results. > Quinoa and Amaranth are both alkaline producing grains. This is a postitive point for the above. I personally really like Quinoa because it is so light and easy to digest. Re Millet balancing the blood sugar -- this is definitely true. It is because Millet is an Earth food as are sugars. So over time, millet reduces the craving for sugar. If someone has a list of foods by element, you might look up Quinoa, Amaranth and "back weeds" (I never heard of that, but would be interested in finding out what it is) and see what element they are classified under. I think the combination of Earth element and alkaline make the millet work. But after your experiment you can give us new insight.
