Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hey, Does anyone here on the MWLP have any sort of substitute for bread they can suggest? I know there are flourless tortillas out there somewhere, but none of the tortillas on the supermarket shelf at this Australian country town fit that description. Over the weekend it was SO tempting to get the ones with whole wheat flour and use the " it's not as bad as white flour " excuse. A brief Google search found one brand of tortilla with no flour, but which contained soy, which would defeat the purpose of finding something McDougall-friendly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 According to posts on the MWLP discussion boards, Dr. McDougall is reported to " allow " corn tortillas (made without fat of course) on the MWLP.

Is McDougal against soy? I don't think I ever read that anywhere. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 It depends on what you want it for. You can use steamed collard leaves for a wrap for a sandwich or put bean burgers or chickpea salad kind of things on a bed of greens.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 You can make " socca " which is a flat bread made from chick pea flour (so dried chick peas made into a flour, no " grain " flour), here is a great recipe: http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/07/recipe-for-socca-garbanzo-or-chickpea.html I'd love to know what you think if you try it! I haven't made them yet, but I have a bag of chick pea flour, just for that very purpose!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 There is no soy or flour products on MWLP. I pretty much use a lot of potatoes when I'm on that plan. The 12 day plan allows flour products. You can always have 1 day or 1 meal off the 12 day program and generally not effect your weight loss goals. -Xanthia On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 7:51 AM, Ginger Lemon Girl <gingerlemongirl wrote: You can make " socca " which is a flat bread made from chick pea flour (so dried chick peas made into a flour, no " grain " flour), here is a great recipe: http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/07/recipe-for-socca-garbanzo-or-chickpea.html I'd love to know what you think if you try it!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 In the book/cookbook "Turn off the fat genes" by Neal Barnard who is and advocates a very low fat vegan diet (www.pcrm.org) there is a recipe by Jennifer Raymond (Peaceful Palate cookbook) for a fat free brown loaf bread made with ww pastry flour, which I always wondered about. Being a gluten free ite I never made it. Food for Life makes a great flavor rice tortilla -6 to a pkg with no wheat but each has 2.5 grams of fat per. They are really big though so 1/2 is an ample wrap. La tortilla factory makes gluten free flour tortillas that have 1.5 grams of fat (in 2- 6 inch tortillas as a serving) coming from the stone ground corn masa flour-no added fat. Don't know if these distribute down under. Bryanna Clark Grogan has put out a cookbook "almost no fat every day" with a fat free flour tortilla recipe and a basic fat free yeast bread dough for rolls, a loaf and sweet variations and a "no fat holiday" cookbook where she repeats the recipe and includes a french bread dough also.
