Date: July 29, 2008 06:28PM Hello,
I am interested in this diet, but I am allergic to nuts. I'm wondering if you have suggestions for nut replacements, in terms of texture and consistency in some of the recipes. For instance, would flax seeds be a good substitute for almonds or walnuts? Just curious from a "successful recipe" point of view. Thanks much! Chantal Re: NUT ALLERGY! Substitutes??

I love sesame seeds, make raw halva out of them, both the white and black. Raw tahini can be used too as a binder or in salad dressings instead of nuts. Re: NUT ALLERGY! Substitutes??

Date: August 05, 2008 10:00PM Which nuts are you allergic to? Just almonds and walnuts? I've used sunflower seeds in place of almonds lots of times, with great results. And I've used almonds in place of walnuts, I'm sure sunflower seeds would work there too. Depending on what all your allergic to, I'm sure you can find alternatives: hemp seed milk is delicious! Cashews are great and creamy for ice cream, cheese sauce, etc... but if you are allergic to those as well you could use coconut or sunflower seeds depending on the recipe.
