Re: Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

Didi,
Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything regarding the teleconference. I have been emailing someone from the board but she has had some family responsibilities come up. I am waiting to hear back from her. I may try to contact someone else so we can get going on this. I think it is an exciting opportunity and I don't want to let it slip away.

Thank you Tanya,

I appreciate all of the work that you have put into this.

The diet is especially interesting to me now that I have put on 6 lbs of weight in 3 weeks, despite exercising daily. So frustrating. Naturally, the temptation to eat comfort food is facing me as the sun is setting earlier in the day and the weather gets colder. We had snow the ohter day. A Mediterranean diet is just what I need, along with the beach and the azure sea!

Oh, for a Holodeck, just like they had in Star Trek : )

Have a great day!

Re: Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

I hear you! We had snow here too (Michigan). What I wouldn't give for the Mediterranean beach =)

On a more serious note, I just tried to send an email to the general "contact us" email and it was returned undeliverable. If anyone has any suggestions as to whom I should contact I will be happy to do so.

Hi from Canada.... on my way home, with truck sagging with supplies...

Tanya, I won't be online until this weekend when I get home (aboard a ferry most of the time or on the road), but will contact you to help make things happen once I am home. I too am looking forward to the conference and am glad you and the author are interested in us!

Question Progress Report

Hi All,

Joe, wherever you might be, you are more and more appreciated....

I just want to say that some of the behind-the-scenes technical tasks for putting together the opportunity to have a presentation and Q/A with Tanya and Dr. Flynn are in progress. As I understand it, it would likely happen after the holidays in the early part of the New Year.

Has anyone figured out any burning questions for the discussion that we could all share?

A.A.

A teleconference is a good idea. Will transcripts be available for folks who can't attend in real time?

Question Re: Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

After seing Laurels Post I ordered the book and got it today.The intro is intersting.I am going to go through the recipes and find if there are any which I can do without Hema's help
I find from her intro she is more +ve on Olive Oil than
Canola. I saw in the site about foods for BC patients undergoing Herceptinvontaining a recommended list and a axoid list Canola is in the recommended list.
I request Tanya to say if canola has any +ve traits

Re: Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

Pibikay,
Canola and Olive oil are both considered "good" oils to use in the diet, however, olive oil is considered to be the superior oil. Olive oil has more of the desirable mono-unsaturated fats than does canola oil. I recommend using olive oil as first choice followed by canola oil when you can't or don't wish to use olive oil.

Smile Re: Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

Hi All,

Get your calendars out and mark the weekend of January 29th/30th for the Pink Ribbon Diet chat, with the exact time to be announced (29th for USA/Europe, 30th for the Aussies).

Be sure to review the book itself plenty of time in advance so that we can have a good discussion together.

You will need to have the latest version of Java installed on your computer, so don't wait until the last minute to get that done ahead of time.

Advance questions about the diet are welcome - have you tried the diet, or do you know others who have?

Re: Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

Thanks, AA.

We'll be sure to attend the 'Pink Ribbon Chat' on the 29th/30th of January.

Incidentally, I came across this video clip/site today and thought it conveys similar messages. I'd like to get Tanya RD's opinion on this video:

Re: Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

Jackie,
I watched part of the video you provided. I have a few areas of concern. One is the credentials of those promoting the program. They are from self-study programs purchased for $99 (CHEK Nutritionist). Also, I feel that some of the information in the video is based on truth but then exaggerated. For instance, (from the video) whole wheat bread turns into sugar in the body just like sweets and is considered a "bad carb" but rice (not even specified as white or brown) is considered a "good carb". There would be little difference in the blood sugar response between these two foods, in fact, rice may cause a higher spike in blood sugar thus increasing the insulin response. There isn't anything wrong with the foods listed on her "good list" but I think she is promoting elimination of other foods that can be good choices as long as portions are well managed. Exercise is also key for keeping blood sugar/insulin response in check.

Thanks for posting this for review.

Question Re: Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

Hi, Tanya:
Where did you see the video clip? I'd like to see it, too.

Are you saying that they feel white and brown rice have the same glycemic index?

Re: Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

The link is in Jackie's post above. They don't specify white vs brown, just state that rice in general is a better choice overall, which I found very strange. Several red flags in the video.
