Hi Adam,
I am really excited that you now have a blog. I have a question for you. I am a vegetarian and struggle to find sources of Iron in my diet. What can you suggest?
Thanks for the great question. Like so many others, I grew up all meat and dairy. If I didn't have a piece of meat on my plate or some sort of dairy product throughout my day, where was my protein, iron and calcium coming from. Turns out there are many other sources of these essentials found in 'whole foods'. Nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables offer an enormous amount of healthy benefits that cover all of our essential nutrients for life.
Here are just a few of my favourites for Iron
Hemp seeds
Quinoa
Unhulled sesame seeds
any dark green leafy vegetable such as kale or spinach.
These are just a few, but there are many more and all more easily digestible than meat and dairy.

Hi Adam,
I have low blood sugar. What extra benefit is your diet to me? I think it sounds very good and simple, which I like. I'll be on it as soon as I receive the kit.
Thanks.
Hi Adam:
My daughter and I just made cookies based on the Hemp chocolate chip recipe. She's three and enjoyed watching your video. She says you're a nice guy because you showed us how to make good cookies.
I had to make a couple of substitutions because we didn't have everything on hand. I added a 1/2 of honey instead of cane sugar and then added about 1/2 cup dutch process cocoa powder instead of chocolate chunks. What do you think of how these substitutions would effect the healthiness of the cookies?
Cheers,
Fay
Hi Fay
Thanks for the email. It was a pleasure meeting you today at the Power of Food Lunch and Learn. I am so happy to hear that you tried the flourless hemp cookies already.
It sounds like the substitutions worked out well for you. Switching honey for the cane sugar is a nice alternative and will help hold the cookies together and take nothing away as far as nutrition or sweetness. As for the cocoa powder, as mentioned during the show today, cocoa powder is actually a great source of iron. Choosing an all natural cocoa powder is ideal and will only boost the nutritional value of each cookie as well as the flavour.
Say hello to your daughter for me and I look forward to having you and your family a part of the Power of Food community.
In Good Health
Adam
