But I need something else for variety. Any suggestions? Tuna's not bad with cottage cheese. But I haven't been able to come up with a bread substitute, either. I've just been eating it out of a bowl. (At least I did until I found out how much Omega 6 was in mayo.) You might try looking for non-wheat pasta. Tuna is good with pasta. I used to eat pasta made with Jerusalem artichokes, I think it was. Tasted like pasta. Don't know if regular groceries sell it. I always got it at health food stores.

But a nearly wheat free existence does seem possible. Even without the Heart benefits, getting off wheat and sugar seems to be a very good way to lose weight without having to starve yourself. I am almost though my first week with "no wheat" and it has not been the problem I thought it would be. My "Tuna Salad" will be just that, a salad with iceberg lettuce. A meal. I find Google to be a very good place to check out products for problems. I knew I was sinning by adding a half cup of OJ concentrate to my morning smoothie, but I didn't realize it was 65% sugar. So I will replace it with a banana, frozen strawberries, and splenda. I add two eggs, milk, water and ice for a smoothie. That's breakfast. My goal is to find products I like and make as many of my meals as I can around them. I love oatmeal and make a combination of 1 1/2 cups with 2 1/2 cups of water, microwaved for four/five minutes and then add some milk. Also a dash of salt, some raisins, and splenda. That's a meal. I like eggplant, zucchini, onions and tomatoes. That combines into a great "ratatouille." Another meal. Costco sells fresh spinach, 2 1/2 lb package, for $7.50. Combine a skillet of that with a piece of their roast chicken. Another meal. My only sin left that I know of is adding creamer [sugar!] to my coffee. That's once every other day, and I will live with it. :>)

jrhana, Here is a quote from that article: Citing the 20-year landmark Seven Countries Study conducted by Dr. Ancel Keys starting in the late 1950s, Dr. Ozner explains that a diet low in processed foods and saturated animal fats was found to produce the longest life expectancy in the world and the lowest heart disease rates in those living in the Mediterranean region. The study tracked more than 13,000 men from Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, the Netherlands, Finland, Japan, and the US. Among its dramatic findings: Greek men were 90% less likely to die from a heart attack than American Ancel Keys was a con man, and even after his death, he has influence over the dietary confusion. My advice is: when you see someone citing Ancel Keys as support for his diet / theory, run as fast as you can. Joe
