Each morning I grind one tablespoon each of: Pumpkin, Flax, Chia seeds, plus 2 Tblsp. Hemp hearts, (grind them in my electric coffee grinder for several seconds) then add four heaping tablespoons of homemade apple sauce (apples, lemons & cinnamon, dried berries, no sugar) Mix all the ground seeds into the sauce and… breakfast!

Love, love the dessert idea! Thank you, Ann!

I regrettably decided to try the keto diet to lose weight and when I got my physical done 7 months into the diet, my cholesterol went through the roof! My doctor told me not to go eating a lot of carbs right away so I swapped out my two egg breakfast for a smoothie made of 1 serving of Nutiva hemp protein powder, 1 small banana, 1 tbl chia seed and 12oz unsweetened almond milk. My lunch at noon would be my homemade flax bread. It's a simple recipe with 3 tbl ground flax, 1 heaping tsp of extra fine almond flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, a couple pinches of salt and 4 tbl liquid egg whites from a carton. Mix everything up well in a rectangular dish. I sprinkle a little everything but the bagel seasoning and microwave for a min, then toast for 5 min. I love it with nova salmon, sliced tomato, onion and cucumbers with some light cream cheese. Dinner is veggies, lean protein, a whole grain and dessert like a piece of sugar free chocolate, or a small serving of fruit. I ended up not gaining any weight back, in fact, I lost another 10 lbs and to my shock when I had my blood work done for an upcoming medical procedure, my cholesterol dropped 60 points into normal range. Blood pressure went from 130/90 to 116/70. It only took 2.5 months for me to get these results. I keep to the same breakfast and lunch every day. If I wake up starving, I eat the flax bread for breakfast. It keeps me so full, that by the time I make the smoothie, I usually only have 3 hours until dinner! When I get bored of the smoothie, I make hemp protein powder pancakes. When I get tired of nova salmon, I top the bread with 2 slices ham, a slice of cheese and a fried egg OR smashed avocado and egg. I love not having to think too much about what I am eating during the day. I have a ton of variety with my dinner, eating 2 cups of veggies, starch, lean protein, and dessert every day.

Excellent advice!

Thanks Dr Ann. How do you keep the rest of the large bags of seeds fresh?

Dr Ann, I have been following your make it happen Monday video’s first a couple years but have a hard time putting it all into practice. This new program looks amazing. I deal with lots of inflammation and strange autoimmune symptoms that baffle my doctors . Finally started an online/group support frugivore plan with a local doctor. Seeing some “results” but hard to know as the inflammation comes and goes - like a week my hands are bad then my feet etc so hard to evaluate real long term change/healing. May I ask your thoughts on a frugivore plan?

Instructive piece

Here's a great seed cake idea. 40 grams each of ground flax, hemp, chia, and oat bran plus 30 grams of whey protein powder. 1 TBS of sugar, 1 TSP of cinnamon, a couple of grinds of salt, and 1 TPS of vanilla. Add egg whites to make a runny batter and pour into a large skillet or wok. Cook covered for 20 minutes on low to med-low, flip and cook for 10 more minutes. Feeds 2 people or makes for a morning and evening meal. 880 Kcal for each cake. 30 grams of fiber, and 65 grams of protein.

great advice

Thank you 🙏🏾

Is it not better to purchase whole flax seeds, and grind them just prior to consumption, to avoid them oxidizing and their oil becoming rancid?

do you know if using hemp seed would come out on a blood test for mariuana

How about lectins?

Dr you should let your viewers know if chia seeds can interfere with certain medication.I'm sure u know about how healthy seeds r but what about side effects. Hope you look into this.Tks!

Great video. Great suggestions.

I eat all three daily

Hello..I suffer from essential tremor disease. When I hold a cup of water, my hands shake and cause me embarrassment..And when a problem occurs in front of me, my body trembles and my heartbeat increases, and I feel difficult to speak. Do hemp seeds help in treating essential tremor

How many times a day should we have this?

I have heard that the seeds need to be ground because if you swallow them whole there is not real nutritional value. Is this necessary?

I started using flaxseed and chia seeds though I am experiencing bloating and it's quite uncomfortable.
