Organic Guinea Pig Description
My name is Dale - some will know me as the Critter Man. I am 47 with the following health issues : diagnosed around 10 years ago with early onset Parkinsons Disease ; 2 heart attacks at the age of 42 which made me re evaluate life - I was managing just fine though without meds. Sadly I was also smoking, drinking way too much and eating all of the wrong foods.
Due to some stressful life events, I had to revisit my doctor as my Parkinsons took a massive turn for the worse, and I was prescribed some drugs to stem my tremors. As I was visiting a new doctor for the first time, I had to have my "Well Patient Check" (thing is visiting the docs means you aint a well patient! ! ), and my blood pressure was massively over normal. He became quite concerned about me, telling me I was heading for a fatal heart attack.
So it became time to change my lifestyle and staple diet of cheese cobs, biscuits, crisps, coffee, wine and cigarettes, and swap it for a healthier more organic lifestyle! To do this I decided to enlist the help of Gilly-Marie Harvey, ο»Ώ nutritionist in training, who really knows her stuff and has a passion for a healthy lifestyle and the 6 pack to go with it ! ! So here I am, Gilly's guinea pig! !
The idea of this page is to show you guys how to eat healthier and lead a healthier lifestyle, and maybe lose a pound or two and tone up on the way (as I may enlist the help of other fitness experts too), by using my errors and ignorance of diet and fitness.
Since the page and I began our journey, and having seen the power of the right nutrition and lifestyle choices, I too have trained and qualified as a nutritional therapist! Using all of the correct lifestyle and nutrition choices, I have lost 2 stone and 5 inches off my waistline, going from 34 inch waist to 29 inch and 13 stone 7lb to 11 stone 4 lb. In addition my Parkinsons symptoms are under control WITHOUT medication, and my blood pressure and cholesterol are now normal ! !
Being healthy does not mean you have to be boring. There is a blog on the website with some tasty recipes, but theres more . . .
On 14th April 2015, I published my first book : "Organic Guinea Pig's Health Revolution". In this book I explain, from my own personal practical experience, how I have turned my health my fitness and my life around. It has had great 5 Star reviews on Amazon, and is available worldwide from :

Organic mint π
So vegan food is "boring" apparently...lets take a look at desserts. I made this today...Raw Chocolate Torte
Dinner tonight was quinoa and spinach pasta with portibello mushroom chips π
Portobello Mushroom Steaks on a bed of spinach. Yummy
Home made pesto and pine nut bread with mushroom and leek risotto π went really well together
I made hummus - so easy and tastes superb
It's Shrove Tuesday in a week...I tried making these tonight and they were a real treat...Vegan Chocolate Pancakes with home made banana ice cream and raspberry jus. (If you don't want to do vegan pancakes, simply substitute 1 tbsp flour in your batter with 1 tbsp of cacao powder π) Just thought too...some peanut butter spread on them to make a Reeses pancake
Vegan chocolate pancakes with home made banana ice cream and raspberry "jus".... How to make :
Pancakes :... Half cup porridge oats Half cup of spelt flour 1 tbsp cacao powder (blend to fine powder) Half cup oat milk 1 tsp vegan butter 1 ripe banana (add to powder and blend till smooth...I tasted the batter and added another tbsp of cacao powder and third cup of oat milk to make it chocolate π) Ice cream and jus...slice a banana and freeze them put in blender til smooth. For jus I used a tbsp of frozen raspberries added a little water and blender

Tonights dinner - Vegan chili
Then I made this for dinner....spinach and potato soup, as I had an old bag of spinach in the fridge that I needed to use. Tasty stuff
For lunch today, I had vegan French toast with raspberries and maple syrup. Oh man, the tastiest French toast EVER and only 100 calories per slice!! AND it's really good for you π I had mine after a run, but would also make a nice breakfast or even a dessert....despite the calorific content it's really filling!!
Made the cashew cheese...it tastes horrendous!! π· I shalln't be making that again :P
Here are the details of the vegan cheese I made yesterday. Sadly doesnt melt. I used oat milk instead of the milk specified in the recipe
Sadly the vegan cheese i made yesterday failed its melting challenge. It did however pass the grating challenge. Sliced and grated, just doesn't melt.
So here is one I made earlier...this is the cheese. The nutritional yeast and smoked paprika give it a strong cheddar tang. (I posted the pic of the cracker packet to show they are suitable for vegans!) Tomorrow I am going to try melting it and also make hard cashew cheese so that I can compare the two
So the first photo was dinner tonight...can you guess what it is? I also want to know what the hexagonal ingredient is and whether it is a fruit or a vegetable. The second photo is vegan cheese made this evening - will let you know the outcome ;)
Thought I would try my hand at making a vegetable pie this evening....came out rather splendidly π even if I do say so myself π lol. Happy New Year
My other book would also make a good Christmas present, especially for those wanting to start the New Year healthily. Organic Guinea Pig's Health Revolution is available on Kindle and Amazon have copies at Β£30+ (!!) but you can go direct to the publisher and get it for Β£6.99 - stocking filler city ;) https://www.feedaread.com/β¦/Organic-Gui nea-Pigs-Health-Revoβ¦
