Guest guest Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Has anyone tried this? I've gotten similar email months ago and am interested in receiving but ... anyone know what types of flour/ingredients are in it? How easy is it to find ingredients and make? Thanks! Shirley Based on 2000 Year Old Recipe Housewife In New York Accidentally Invents A Bread That Miraculously Stops Your Appetite And Hunger HUNZA DIET BREAD is said to beat all fad diets hands down. It's the fastest, painless way to lose weight. By Allen Perry, Special feature writer (Champlain, NY) Here is a message to all you genius research scientists trying to find a painless way for people to lose weight. It's been done! Not by a scientist, but, by a housewife. Being hailed here as the weight loss method of the century, HUNZA DIET BREAD is rolling out like a juggernaught! The bread was discovered by accident, Irene Sette, wife of a health researcher, was trying to duplicate a 2,000-year-old, high roughage bread used by the little known civilization of Hunza. The Hunzas were being studied by her husband. The Hunzas are considered to be the healthiest people on earth. Their bread is the main part of their diet. Irene was trying to make this bread good tasting so that her children would eat it. Irene succeeded in coming up with a recipe that was absolutely delicious. Everybody loved it. But, then a startling discovery was made. Just one or two very small pieces of bread would ruin a person's appetite for 5 or 6 hours! At first, she became upset at this drawback. But then while talking it over with her husband. Scott Sette, it hit them. This was not a drawback at all, but a huge benefit. It was the ultimate weapon in the fight against obesity that researchers have been trying to discover for decades. Irene had apparently come up with the first natural and healthy appetite inhibitor. Or was she the first? Could this be a designed bread invented thousands of years ago? Mr. Sette is a researcher for The New York Health Institute. He had been studying the Hunzas for years. Now he had some questions that needed answered. The Hunzas have little food in the winter. Was the bread an ancient discovery of a hunger suppressant which also provided healthful nourishment to the body during winter months? I held an interview with Mr. and Mrs. Sette in their lovely home in Champlain, NY which is located right next to the Canadian border in Upstate New York. Upon arrival my greeting was warm and friendly and I immediately felt right at home and everyone was on a first name basis. I also noticed that the Sette's were exceptionally trim, fit and healthy. Our interview took place in the kitchen with the HUNZA DIET BREAD being prepared for me to taste. It smelled delicious. Question: " Scott, to what do you attribute the powerful appetite inhibiting properties of your wife's bread? " Answer: " Well, Allen, right now we're in the stage of making edu- cated guesses. Theory 1 is that Irene, while experimenting with the bread recipe accidentally combined natural food substances which react together to form a natural appetite or hunger inhibitor. There are also facts being uncovered that support Theory 2 that this bread was designed in ancient times for the express purpose of tiding people over, when food supplies were scarce. Let's start with the Hunzas who are the healthiest people on earth. I consider their bread to be one of the main reasons for this. " Question: " Before you do that, Scott, I would like to give the reader a little background of the Hunzas. I have here a feature story which has been published in many major newspapers through- out North America. " Here is an excerpt from the article: " The Hunzas exist isolated from the rest of the world in the Himalayan Mountains where they live to be 110 to 120 years old. They have no cancer, heart attacks, or other major disorders to speak of. They are active and fit to the very end. Men father children at 100 years and older. Overweight people are unheard of because they have the perfect weight control system. " The story then relates research and fact finding visits to Hunza by such notables as Queen Elizabeth, Art Linkletter and N.B.C., The National Geographic Magazine, Frank Shor, Lowell Thomas, Jr., Chou En Lai of China. Visitors to Hunza all came back with the same identical description of the Hunza people: " Hunza men are straight, tall, broad-shouldered, deep-chested, slim-waisted, heavy-legged, and have full heads of hair. Hunza women are straight, tall, slim-waisted, developed bosoms, perfect complexions, and luxuriant hair. Both men and women have perfect teeth and eyesight even at 100 years and older! They are neat, clean, intelligent and friendly. And you can't find an overweight person. Hunza women at 80 look no older than North American women of 40. Fatigue is virtually unknown. Hunza men over 90 years old repeatedly walk the mountain trail of 65 miles from the town of Gilgit with a full pack and immediately start to work in the fields again! " The article then relates an eye-opening experiment by the world renowned, brilliant English surgeon, Dr. Robert McCarrison, who tested the merits of the Hunza diet in a controlled, scientific experiment on 5,000 laboratory rats. He took the one group of normal rats and put them on the Hunza diet. He then took a second group and put them on a typical English diet. After several years the rats on the Hunza diet showed absolutely no disease, had proper weight, and were completely healthy beyond normal. The rats on the English diet were overweight, diseased and had tumors, ulcers, bad teeth, crooked spines, falling hair, skin disorders, heart trouble, kidney trouble, glandular trouble and they were very hostile. He then took these dis- eased rats who had been on the English diet and put them on the Hunza diet. They all became well! " O.K., now we can continue. So, you feel that the Hunza bread may be " by design " both a hunger suppressant and a super health food? " Answer: " Yes, but if it is, there's a question, who designed it? Now the Hunzas were originally soldiers of Alexander the Great. This bread may have been designed for the use of his far traveling armies. It would make sense. It's the most compact form of hunger satisfaction and nutrition I know of. But, further investigation brought about some really wild possi- bilities. According to traces of Macedonian Heritage, this bread could have originated in Egypt over 5,000 years ago. As you know, the Egyptians were capable of doing many things that modern science cannot duplicate. But getting back to the focal point of this matter, regardless of where it came from, we have it. And, it's tested and it works. " Question: " That bread smells delicious. And since we're going to discuss the bread, let's ask the discoverer. Irene, how did it all start? " Answer: " Well, as I mentioned. Scott had been investigating the Hunzas for many years and was convinced that their bread was one of the major reasons for their good health. So he asked me to duplicate it and use it at home. I thought it would be easy at first but it turned into a nightmare. The recipes that visitors to Hunza came back with were either too general or did not turn into bread at all. So, I decided to make a list of all the key food elements in Hunza and began experimenting, trying to come up with a bread that would taste good so that our kids would like it too. " Question: " How long did it take before you were successful? " Answer: " Oh, after about six months of trial and error I finally hit on a perfect batch one summer morning. Everyone in the family shared some of the bread and raved about how good it was. With no exaggeration, it was the best bread we had ever tasted. After eating the bread, nobody had an appetite that day and the kids weren't hungry for lunch which was very unusual but we didn't think much about it at the time. Then we started to notice that whenever we ate the bread during the day we weren't hungry for our evening meal. It got so that I wouldn't allow anyone to eat the bread unless it was with our evening meal. But, then I found that when I served it at dinner, everybody ate a much smaller amount of their meal. It got to the point that if we were going out to eat or if I was cooking a special dinner, the bread was not allowed for that day. I was even beginning to get upset that my delicious bread had turned into a problem because it devoured everyone's appetite and hunger. " Question: " How long did it take you to realize that what you really had was the all-time weapon against obesity? " Answer: " You know it was quite a long time. Three or four months. And surprisingly, my husband was involved in obesity research at the time. Also, both of us had trouble with being overweight. There it was right in front of our noses; but, we were too close to it, to see it ourselves. Then one day we were talking to a friend I grew up with who was telling us that she was taking prescription diet pills to help reduce her appetite. It hit both of us at once. We jumped up and said. " Boy, have we got the thing for you! " That was it. We both were ready to kick ourselves for not seeing it before. Both my husband and I started using the bread as a weight loss device and began losing weight like crazy, much faster than any weight loss method we ever tried, and, we have tried them all believe me. We then decided to call it " HUNZA DIET BREAD. " Question: " Scott, according to your research, exactly how does it compare to some of the fad diets such as liquid protein? " Answer: " There's no comparison. Those diets are in another league, the minor league, next to our HUNZA DIET BREAD. Fad diets such as, The Zone and Protein Power are not only ineffective, they're downright dangerous. When I say they are ineffective I mean; that either a person will not stick with them because they are uncomfortable or when the diet is over they'll put the weight right back on. All of us lifetime dieters know of the miseries of the high protein and liquid protein (or milkshake) diets. They seem okay for the first few days, then they become repulsive. You get " full " on these diets but not satisfied. Then they bring on unpleasant complications that can jeopardize your health. The liquid protein diet is the worst of all of them. This diet is really dangerous to your health and very unpleasant. Some of the side effects include: fatigue, dizzy spells, bad breath, hair loss, oily skin, constipation and cardiovascular disorders. All that stuff they tell you about liquid protein is complete nonsense. What it really amounts to is fasting. But, they tell you that " in fasting the body attacks the body protein first. " That's hogwash. Fasting is an effective and healthy way to lose weight which has been successfully used by the greatest men in history for over 2.000 years. The Hunzas fast regularly and they live to be 120 years old. Liquid protein actually ruins a fast. The only thing you do when you add liquid protein is cause problems. You have a less effective fast and the excess protein wreaks havoc with the body. All liquid protein diets amount to nothing more than a scheme to sell liquid protein. " Question: " I know what you're talking about, I'm what you call a " lifetime dieter " myself. These fad diets are just that fads, because as soon as people find out how bad they are, they disappear. Now, I like hearing about a diet that's been around for at least 2,000 years. That rings of stability. (At this point Irene placed the hot bread on a bread board. It looked very appetizing to say the least.) Tell me about the advantages of HUNZA DIET BREAD. I will get a piece, won't I? " Answer: " Of course, just as soon as it cools a little. There are primary and secondary benefits. The biggest benefit I can think of is that the dieter just doesn't suffer AT ALL! It's such a natural and powerful appetite inhibitor. This bread satisfies both appetite and hunger. And it does it with only 84 calories (100 calories spread with butter) as effectively as most 1800 calorie full meals. We define appetite and hunger like this: appetite is mainly the desire you get for food even when you know you're really not hungry. It's that craving in your mouth you get that's known as the cold mouth feeling. It can also be present even though you've just eaten. Your stomach may be full but you still crave something else. This is the feeling you get with a protein diet. You can stuff yourself with protein until you're ready to bust but the cold mouth craving is still there. Hunger on the other hand is best described as those pangs of hunger you get or that empty feeling in your stomach that lets you know you really need to eat something rather than simply wanting to eat for the enjoyment of it. After a slice or two of HUNZA DIET BREAD you eliminate both appetite and hunger. You feel satisfied and full. And, it lasts depending on the person up to 7 hours. For both of us it lasts 6 to 7 hours. " Question: " What is the secondary benefit? " Answer: " Well, first of all each slice of HUNZA DIET BREAD is close to being a balanced meal in itself. So right off the bat you don't strip your body of nutrition or give it too much of one thing or too little of another. Second, not only is the bread nutritional, but it contains some proven good health producing foods of the Hunzas. Also, it is high in roughage or fiber. It passes through your digestive system quickly so the actual absorbed calories are less. You also become very regular eating this bread. " Question: " IRENE, tell me what it's like to eat a piece of the bread, that is, what do you experience yourself? " Answer: " OK., let's start with the eating. We suggest eating it while it's still warm, with a little butter. It's a heavy bread. I only need one slice, my husband usually has 2 slices. Eating it is the first delightful experience you'll have. It tastes better than any bread that we've ever eaten. Along with the taste, being warm makes it truly satisfying to eat. Now, here's what its like hour by hour after you eat the bread. Hour 1 and 2. Each minute after you finish eating the bread seems like a build-up of a " fullness " feeling. It's just as though you have kept on eating. You keep getting fuller and fuller. Both your appetite and hunger are very satisfied. You don't crave anything more. Hour 3. In hour 3 something else happens. The thought of food just doesn't appeal to you. It's not an unpleasant experience, quite the opposite. But, you don't have a desire for food in any way, shape or form. Hour 4 and 5. You no longer have a feeling of being stuffed or turned off by the thought of eating but, there's a kind of nothing feeling. You don't want to eat, and you don't crave anything. It's just as I said, a sort of comfortable " nothing " stage. Hour 6 and 7. Toward the end of the 6th hour you begin to get mildly hungry which then slowly increases into the 6th and 7th hour. " Question: " Now, all that for only the cost of 100 to 200 calories. You can't get that performance out of a 2,000 calorie meal can you? " Answer: " Right. Now you've got the gist of the whole thing. Here's another little known thing about standard lunch hours and dinners. Let's say you eat a milk shake, hamburger and french fries for lunch, that's over a 1,000 calories. There's a lot of sugar and salt in that meal. When you're done, the first thing that happens is that your body shoots a large amount of insulin into your system to counteract the sugar. Your blood sugar is lowered and within an hour you feel hungry again and start snacking. On top of that, the salt has made you thirsty and you gulp water or soft drinks and retain the fluids. On the other hand, if you try a " Weight watchers " lunch, or similar balanced diet, you'd have to eat between 400 to 600 calories of cottage cheese, lean meat, and eggs to feel reasonably full. But, you would not be satisfied and almost immediately you'd be hungry again, and need to consume more of the same. You can't win. There's no diet that exists where you don't suffer in some way. " Question: " Scott, exactly what kind of a program do you go on to lose weight with HUNZA DIET BREAD? " Answer: " There are many ways to do it. This is another benefit. It's flexible. Here are some typical plans. Each slice of bread is thinly spread with butter for a total of 100 calories. Plan A: Eat 1 slice every 5 hours of the 16 hours you're awake. That's 3 slices which total 300 calories. This is the fastest way to lose weight I know of. It works faster for me than any high protein diet. Why? You have more energy and burn more calories. Second, the high fiber bread keeps your digestive system regular. Third, your body stays healthy. A healthy body means a properly functioning metabolic system. Plan B: Really gorge yourself with the bread. Two slices every four hours for a total of 8 slices but only 800 calories. You'll feel full all day. In fact, I doubt many people could eat this much of the bread. Plan C: Eat a slice in the morning for breakfast and a slice 3 hours before your dinner and you will eat a great deal less. Plan D: Eat a slice of HUNZA DIET BREAD, 10 minutes before you eat your regular meal. When we do this we eat only a fraction, such as 1/4 of what we would normally eat. If we wait longer than 10 minutes we don't want to eat at all. Plan E: Eat the bread at the end of meals that don't fill you up enough, such as low calorie meals. This is a perfect way to use the bread. You eat a low calorie meal, enjoy it, then eat a slice or two of bread to fill you up. Perfect! No suffering and no urge to snack. Plan F: Alternate Plan A, B, C, D. We recommend an alternation of the plans, but some people who just want to get the weight off as soon as possible will use Plan A exclusively. " Question: " Yes, Irene, you have a comment? " Answer: " Yes, you can really think up all kinds of ways to use the bread. For instance, as a housewife it's harder to diet because you have to prepare food for the family. I eat my bread exactly 2 hours before I am going to prepare a meal. That way when I prepare the meal I am in the 3rd hour where food just doesn't hold any interest for me. No way am I tempted to nibble or taste. " Question: " Irene, you all look very healthy. Is it because of the bread? " Answer: " That's a big part of it. You feel better and look better after you start eating this bread. You know my daughter, besides having a weight problem, also had a mild case of acne, and since she started eating the bread her skin has completely cleared up. " Question: " Scott, how many pounds can you lose a week using this bread? " Answer: " The exact number of pounds depends on the person's size and metabolic rate. Using the bread I lost 11 pounds and Irene lost 7 pounds in the first two weeks. The point is, as I said earlier, that our experience shows that you lose weight faster on this method than any other method that I know exists. " Question: " That's a lot of weight to lose in such a short period of time. Irene, I see you're cutting the bread. It's strange to say, it even looks like it would fill you up quickly. " Answer: " You'll soon see for yourself. Take a piece. Spread a little butter on it and enjoy. I had a slice with butter. The bread was medium brown and it was a heavy bread. It had a very appealing grainy texture and when I spread the butter on the warm slice it melted into the bread and made my mouth water. I took a bite. The delicious taste of the bread filled my mouth. You could tell that it was hearty, full of substance, chewy, and I could just tell it was good for you. Perhaps our bodies trigger an instinct that lets us know what's good or bad for us. White bread gives you an empty feeling like you're biting into cotton compared to this bread. It was indeed the best bread I ever tasted. I devoured two slices and felt very full and satisfied. I looked at the time. It was 1:25 pm. " Question: " You weren't kidding were you? That bread is out of this world. It just gives you what you crave. I can't put my finger on it. " Answer: " The best part is yet to come. Let me know what you experience by calling us in about 6 hours. " Question: " I'll tell you my appetite is just about gone right now, I see what you mean by the build up effect. I feel like I have just eaten a full course meal. But now, how can other people get the bread? " Answer: " We originally felt the best way to make the bread available to the public was to contract with a reputable food processor to prepare and package the bread and then distribute it for us. But that turned out to be unbelievably expensive and the red tape involved in getting a food product on the market wasn't something we wanted to get involved with. " " So we decided to just publish the recipe for anyone else who'd like to make it at home. " To order a copy, all you have to do is write the words " HUNZA DIET BREAD " on a piece of paper and send it along with a check or money order in the amount of $9.00 to: Westport Publishing 1320 Route 9 Champlain, N.Y. 12919 Question: " Sounds great! And thank you for your hospitality it was very nice meeting you. " Answer: " You're very welcome. " At 7:30 p.m. I phoned the Sette's with the results of my post bread eating hours. It went like clockwork, exactly as they had told me. I wasn't hungry for 6 hours. Their bread really is great. ****** Kraig and Shirley Carroll ... in the woods of SE Kentucky thehavens http://www.thehavens.com/ http://www.legacyforlife.net/thehavens 606-376-3363 " Cancer was a blessing that continues to this day " Expect Miracles We only have one Earth.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 Dear Shirley, Thanks for replying. As I already posted to Dorothy (a few moments ago), my bread tasted very bitter (which I thought was from the large amount of flour), and it felt extremely " grainy & dry " on my tongue when I ate it. That's why I washed it down with milk. : - ) I'm glad you & Kraig are enjoying it. : -) I still don't understand, how many " cups " of flour you used. I'd purchased 1 pound of flour, and when I measured it here, at home, the full amount I'd purchased, amounted to: 4 cups (plus 1/4 c. + 1/8 c. + 2T + 2 teaspoons). But I only used 4 cups in my bread, and I still have the 1/4 c. -- 1/8 c. -- 2 T -- & 2 tsps here, in a baggy, in my refrigerator. : - ) With Warm Regards.
