Morning TIA,

Well, Glory BE ! Maybe us Americans finally invented something worth

while.

 

It is simply a mixture of seeds and nuts that suit your fancy. Most are

high in fats and amino acids. Some items are not so high in amino acids,

but the variety is impressive.

Most items contain a good amount of potassium as well.

 

It is surely a " GodSend " for Vegetarians. While I am not a true

vegetarian, One can virtually become one without even trying when he eats

trailmix regularly.

 

I have lost my desire for meats. Even before this transition, I would only

eat a steak once every 3 to 4 months. Now it is one about every six

months. I still eat eggs and milk, and am not opposed to eating meat. I

simply do not want it.

 

My trialmix page contains the recipe I use and also has nutrition listings

of all the ingredients. Originally, this was a trailmix page only. I

kept adding links and other nutritional information. Now the page has

become a bit long.

 

Two or three of the blood analysis on the page are the results of trailmix

and water being added to the diet of the other guinea pigs, other than myself.

 

For anyone that is a " doubting thomas " about the effect of sea salt and

water, take a look at the 48 year old female. The changes she

accomplished in only 60 days is amazing.

 

Almost forgot...... the trailmix page www.fugitt.com/trailmix.htm

 

Originally, I had only the nutrition info for the trailmix ingredients.

Later I started adding every item that I eat regularly.

Dear Wayne,

 

Many thanks for the info about trailmix. I will visit your website.

Don't worry, Australia seems to think most things US are worth adopting! We

probably have a version of trailmix somewhere - I just haven't come across it.

 

Thanks again

Thank you to all those who sent me info about trailmix. It sounds good! We

have something here called LSA - a mix of linseeds, sunflower seeds and

almonds - to sprinkle on food, so perhaps that is the Aussie version of

traimix.

You could be right. I checked with a book I trust and it said LSA is

recommended to prevent constipation, reduce menopause symptoms, PMS and other

period problems , reduce osteoporosis ...

 

But naturopaths and doctors also recommend it as a generally useful adjunct to

the diet.

It cannot do you any harm and that is the most important aspect after all -

it can only do you good, so long as there are no additives which they

sometimes do put into these mixes. If there are no additives then it is the

ideal lazy cooks trailmix (that would do for me and I think I may well go out

there and get some).
