I've been on the diet for certain for at least seven days now. With the exception of the day that I consumed mostly Emerald glazed nuts. They contain Soy Lecithin. Soy is known to be a trigger food for Asperger's and the after effects of consuming Soy Lecithin (note: I also tend to crave and eat large amounts of those glazed emerald nuts) were very very similar to consuming gluten. Maybe a little more intense. Then again, I did eat a lot of them.
Anyway, so last night I made two batches of molasses glazed walnuts. Walnuts have the highest content of omega 3 fatty acids of any other food that I currently know about. According to whfoods.com, 1/4 cup walnuts has 94.6% of your DV for omega 3s.
I found a recipe for molasses glazed pecans that sounded good... I boiled equal amounts of sugar (organic) and light unsulfured molasses for a little under a minute. I mixed the walnuts in there and then put them in the oven. They were really good. In the future, I am going to make large batches of them so we will have plenty of healthy snack food. (2 tsp of blackstrap molasses has 18% DV manganese and 14% copper, 13 % iron, 11% calcium)
I have my very own definitions of what some things are... And Asperger's/autism (you know, I don't know what it is, really, but it's bigger than any of you may know) is one of those things. If you try the the diet and it doesn't work, maybe you have not reached the cause of your problems yet. It takes some time.
I have started to consume a lot of raw fruits recently.
