ZERO Recipes Needed

Vegan Diet – No Animal Products We have eliminate virtually all cholesterol from Addi and Cassi’s diet, except for the occasional treats. This includes meat, fish, chicken and all dairy products. While doctor’s don’t think diet plays a key role in NPC, we saw an immediate improvement in the twins’ stability within a week after starting a zero cholesterol diet. While we are not advocating this diet, we have remained on this strict diet for over 1 year. Today, Addi and Cassi eat soy, fruit, nuts or plant based foods but are taking Omega 3 fish oil which contains a small amount of cholesterol (10mls per day). We understand DHA could be beneficial for progressive neurological diseases. Submit Recipes For Our Cookbook We decided we would create a section on our website and ask people to submit zero cholesterol recipe ideas (or ideas for products that you love that don’t contain cholesterol). Any creative idea is welcome. We look forward to trying all your fabulous recipes. Our dream is to compile a cookbook, which lists all the great zero cholesterol recipes submitted by people around the world with proceeds going to NPC research. Help turn our dream into a reality by submitting a recipe today! You can post ideas in the box below or email us.

I just read over your recipies. I have celiac disease and have been developing recipies for the past three years. I find that thickening soups and casseroles can be done with instant mashed potatoes (not the Betty Crocker type but Paradise Valley puts out an instant potato (both regular and yukon gold) that contains no sulfites or chemicals – just potatoes.)and is delicious. Breads by Anna is the best gluten free bread mix I have found she is at http://www.glutenevolution.com. Gluten-free foods are very healthy, you don’t have to have celiac to benefit. I use strictly white rice flour and can’t tell the difference. Good luck.
My daughter is on a vegan diet with the exception that she is allowed baked, grilled or smoked chicken and turkey (provided the spices/seasonings qualify), so her intake of food is very strict. She, like all other children, LOVES french fries. We found a 0 trans fat, 0 cholesterol, gluten-free french fry that taste’s fabulous! It’s made by McCain’s. You can check out their website: http://www.mccainusaretail.com. My husband and I even love them & it’s a great feeling to be able give her something she enjoys so much.
