Tastes horrible. erithritol and stevia is good in a smoothie. Alternative sugar addict.
"I'll go back to the story of being desperate. Just because, I gave up sugar. Actually to tell you the truth, my angels told me to do it. And I just started making up recipes because I was desperate to have sweets that I could eat to heal myself, and I think that the sweets are my best things to share with people. If you look at a lot of raw vegan recipes out there, they're mainly using just agave. They're not using erythritol, they're not using stevia. I use as little agave as possible, with stevia and erythritol, so it has less fructose. I'm using good fats, fiber and proteins. The carbs that are in the sweets to begin with are breaking down even more. How do you feel right now? How does your blood sugar feel? you can use hemp butter, almond butter, etc. usually people don't complain about this recipe. If you can share this with sugar, chocolate addicts, it's a lot better choice than reeses.
I asked her how she got interested in healthier eating.
"I grew up in famous catering business family in Western Ny, and so ever since I was born, I was around Italian food, large quantities. When I was a teenager aged 14 to 18, for 5 summers solid I worked for my grandparents. So I saw them feed thousands and thousands of people. So something must have sunk in. I became very adept- I didn't know I had a talent for budget, and feeding a lot of people, so I got into craft services in Boston, on film and tv sets. If you're good, it's a great job, but i was also a studio teacher and actress, and I learned to do every part of the crew. So but I did craft services, because it paid like triple what a PA was paid. And so I said, 'I can do that.' So I was on a film set, cider house rules, I was the head studio teacher, it was an amazing experience working on an academy award winning film, just magical, from that experience, they realized they'd hired me as the head studio teacher and yet I wasn't certified. And I was the only studio teacher in Massachusets, I had been working in education for about 10 years, so I got certified. Than I had to go to graduate school to keep my certification, and I thought, what's the wildest thing I could do, so I took film! So I started writing films and got into AFI. And I couldn't believe it. So going from production to film school is so stressful. It was horrible, and my hair was balding at 39 years old. And i thought, 'it's not right for a 39 year old to lose the only good thing on her body! So thank god I was vain enough to say "I don't want to lose my hair." So I consulted with Rhonda Lenare who I worked with, and she's a specialist in addiction. She's completely learned in naturapathic medicine, wholistic medicine, nutrition, and she worked on a supplement level, an energetic level to heal the body to go back to where it was before it became addicted. I was lucky enough to see her in the early 90's one on one for sugar addiction. I lost weight for the first time in my life, had a completely normal, balanced system, no pains, No PMS symptoms, nothing. Than when I went back on production on cider house rules, I couldn't handle the bagels, the food, and i went back to an addictive state. And I stayed that way on and off, back and forth. So 8 years later, I contacted Rhonda again, when I was back in L.A. She gave me a list of what to eat, what not to eat, supplements, etc. I taught myself everything on that list to eat, and what it did to my body. Sea vegetables, stevia, and I was like, that is so exotic! I have to eat that crap? And I'm borderline anemic, too. I couldn't eat like brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, and I was like, fine.
I asked, "was there anything that she told you to give up that was hard to give up?"
" Sugar!!!!" and chocolate. So carob was my new best friend, but I didn't find that out until later. back in the 90's it was 300 dollars, now its 2000. in 2004 for a phone session it was 375 dollars. She didn't tell me to go raw or vegan- just very little dairy, lot's of salmon, sea vegetables, black oil, omega 3's, supplements for thyroid, adrenals, all that stuff. And I started to heal myself. After 6 weeks of eating apples, plain yogurt, and quinoa, I said, what am i gonna do? Than I got a new job and I wanted to celebrate, and something within me told me to make brownies, and I said, I can't make brownies! But literally I just had an intuition to just start studying: I went to erewhon, I studied every single package on the shelf, I saw what people were doing, and I said, "I can do that!"
The minute after she got off the phone with Rhonda, she decided that 'not one more grain of sugar is gonna pass these lips.' When you're a sugar addict and a compulsive overeater, you only last 6 weeks on anything. Most people only last two. But I was doing the green drinks, and i was cooking to heal." Within a couple weeks, friends of hers were asking if she had gotten botox, or a facelift. She kept losing weight, and than after the first 6 week mark, she started making her first brownie. Out of dates, carob and stevia, maybe with a bit of eggs. and i was just jumping for joy. I got so fascinated and the fascination became a discipline. and I ended up quitting every single job, and inviting people to cooking classes, to develop these recipes. I had a knack for sweets, and taking the best of what I see and making it better. It was a creative junction, because it kept me fascinated with my healing process. Now I know more than I did now. Within 8 months, after taking chinese herbs from Ron teaguarden, my hair started sprouting back onto my head. I started making up recipes, and became a cooking consultant at Erewhon. And it was fun back then! Golden Bridge was down the street still, there was a lot of different people and activities. It was just a cool fun time. That's when I made up the hemp balls they were called fudgeit's I was in Erewhon learning from all of the extreme raw foodists. I learned, and I studied nonstop. Because I'm a self healer, I wanted to show other people that they could self heal too. I think that nutrition and cooking are new trends. And self healing has always been around, but food is your basic thing that everyone can do, you can sprout quinoa. So I definitely love healing through food. I didn't realize that not only would I heal my hair, but that I would heal my sugar addiction and compulsive overeating patterns. that is major. I never thought I would be released from the prison of being obsessed with food and being worried about that. I don't have cravings. I feed myself. I'm health conscious, i take care of myself. I enjoy it, and no matter what, my kitchen's a mess-even to make a salad, I pull out 10 containers. I just think, Kelly, you're so lucky, you spoil yourself. Every time I eat a salad at a salad bar I get sick, I don't understand why. I don't know what it is. So I think another mission is encouraging people to get back in their kitchen.
I asked her if a lot of food cravings went away, partially because she was getting right nutrition in her body?
"Yeah," she said, "and it took four years. It's been a process. I know what it's like to be obsessed with sugar, so what I do is I have people make what they crave, but make it alternatively. So they don't feel like they're going without. They don't feel like they're being punished! If they're craving pancakes, here's a recipe for it. I don't eat how i ate 4 years ago. I eat for nutrition and satiation.
What's the best thing for hair?
Omega 3 oils, fish oil, chia, hemp, avocado, vitamin e, selenium, flax, pumpkin.
Dates were good for sweets. I stopped eating a certain something and my skin cleared up.
Stopped drinking the almond milk and pine nuts because it was flaring up skin on her elbows.
