Hey everybody,, just thinking on doing GLAD for bulking, but have some problems...
what could be a substitution for BASMATI RICE or QUINOA? here in MEXICO its hard to find it, and if i will be doing a carb based diet, rice is essential .
What could be a substitution for RYE KERNEL BREAD? i mean, any bread we can eat
What could be a substitution for hummus?
And talking about the diet, any wheat tortilla would work? and what if i get a pita that isnt made of wheat?

thanks

Try to find brown rice. You want rice that is as unprocessed as possible. You could try amaranth instead of rice, too.
In Mexico, bread will probably be tough to find. The soft, white stuff is viewed as superior, for some reason. In Texas, we have "Ezekiel 4:9" sprouted grain bread that's suitable. The brand name is "Food for Life", I think.
Hummus you'll probably just need to make yourself. I know Goya brand has garbanzo beans, so you probably can find them there. Sun Vista, La Costeña, or even dried garbanzo beans you might find too. Just don't forget to rinse and soak the dried ones if you use them!
I use tortillas called "Smart & Delicious" by La Tortilla Factory that are low carb tortillas, if you can get those where you are. I wouldn't use just any old wheat tortilla. And I know corn is considered evil, but corn tortillas are also pretty much whole grain too.

Hope it helps!

The recipes in this list are great, exactly what I'm looking for. But there just aren't enough of them for me to create a full meal plan for a 10 week cycle. I'm new to the GLAD diet so wondered if there was a concentrated resource that you have used to get started eating on this diet. I'm not experienced in the kitchen so the closer to spoon-feeding (no pun intended) in terms of low GL and high calorie recipes the better.

I will be posting more on the site starting next week, Audity.

Cool Avatar BTW

So huge it's hard to find what you're looking for. I thought this would be smart to put here.

i just started the glad diet its fairly easy to follow until i came upon the limited choices of low GL foods but i found this list with a moderate amount of choices hope this helps i know it frustrated me
