Thanks again …
Thanks again Natalie! I was wondering wouldn’t the cooking of the coffee cake kill the bacterias in the yogurt?

Terrific video! Can’t give up that sour cream though. Excellent information!

Both Protein Powder …
Both Protein Powder and Pre-packaged Vegetable Broth from the store are very high in Monosodium Glutamate, which is a neurotoxin that gives me Migraines, Tinnitus, Vertigo, and Tachycardia…duh.

Not if you go to a whole foods or health food store and by organic protein powder and organic vegetable broth.

Natalie, are you …
Natalie, are you for or against soy? I was just wondering because the health info on it is very conflicting.

Hey thanks for this …
Hey thanks for this video. I don’t like using protein powder and I’m surprised Natalie recommends it, but the other tips are great.

Right, I ca’t use …
Right, I ca’t use soy at all, unless is fermented and then in very small amounts.

Duchova October 21, 2007 at 1:03 pm

All the stuff that …
All the stuff that you can buy in shops is fermented already, cos apparently before the fermentation it’s close to unfit for human consumption, and causes growth problems in animals.

But Natalie we do …
But Natalie we do need fat in our diet. Organic butter is not unhealthy at all. Not everything is about calories or taste – this is a bit too biased for me, unless you targeting MacDonald public here. Other than that your video is full of good info as usual.

Not all – soy flour …
Not all – soy flour, soybeans are not fermented products.

It depends on what …
It depends on what temperature you are cooking at and for how long. About halfway through before the mixture becomes bread texture, you can fold in the yogurt. I can’t guarantee that all the bacteria exists, but it certainly gives them a better chance of surviving through the temperature change. I still believe it’s a better choice than sourcream.

nutritionbynatalie October 21, 2007 at 4:58 pm

If you read up on …
If you read up on hemp protein powder you’ll find it’s excellent. Supplements are always the second best option, first choice is eating the right foods. I still believe that most people can benefit from them though.

nutritionbynatalie October 21, 2007 at 5:01 pm

I do agree with …
I do agree with your comment. I do purchase organic butter, cheese, etc. But there does have to be a balance in calories, especially for those trying to lose weight. I’m not suggesting at all that the alternative is nonfat spray or other manmade chemical-laden “calorie free” products, but rather natural alternatives.

nutritionbynatalie October 21, 2007 at 5:03 pm

I’m for it, to a …
I’m for it, to a degree. The only forms of soy I consume and recommend are edamame (soybeans) and soymilk. I feel that all other forms are very processed, especially tofu.

kiya3 October 21, 2007 at 5:54 pm

I suppose it is …
I suppose it is difficult to address everybody at once on all levels. RE: FAT – It is good to excercise and keep in shape that way instead of buying all theses low calories products usualy distorted with some chemicals. Some processes of removing fat are actually damaging to food and give us problems instead of benefits.

Duchova October 22, 2007 at 5:46 am

Yes but apparently …
Yes but apparently the more processed soy is, the better, because of all the nasty stuff that it contains naturally. The fermenting process filters out all the dangerous anti-nutriens and toxins.

there are so many …
there are so many protein powders on the market. i use muscle milk. which one do you use?

Soy should be …
Soy should be fermented. Soy beans and soy milk are not so good, tofu is good, some tofu yoghurts or tempeh might be OK, if they are fermented.

dominicanville December 24, 2007 at 8:48 pm

What about the …
What about the phytoestrogen and other stuff in the soy. Isn’t that a cause for concern? Check out mercola’s video about soy…
