Introduction: How to Reverse Heart Disease and Diabetes
Years ago I was diagnosed with heart disease and diabetes as well as obesity. But then people told me that eating fat was good for diabetes because it does not raise your blood glucose levels. Well most people know that eating fat is not good for Heart Disease nor obesity.
Then looking on YouTube for information about fat, I discovered that the coconut oil industry put out a lot of misinformation about how good their fat is [the palm oil industry is owned by the same corporation that owns Crisco [or should I say: ...it is “affiliated” with ], which was the first company to produce Hydrogenated fat]. And there are videos about how you can eat fat without carbohydrates to loose weight. I know a man that has converted to this Ketogenic diet, and right away he discovered that he had to eat vegetables for carbohydrates and vitamins. He still eats too much dead meat, but his weight is under control. So the big question is whether or not low carbohydrate meat alternatives will do the same thing.
My heart doctor told me about Dr. Barnard's videos, and I discovered that the newest research shows that there is factual evidence that saturated fat clogs the body's cells so that glucose cannot inter [known as Diabetes] so the only safe thing to eat is Vegetables. Even large quantities of olive oil is not safe. And lean meat has more cholesterol than the fat. There is evidence that if you stop eating cholesterol that your body will start to clear out your cells and blood veins. However if you are as clogged up as much as I am it will probably take too long, I am 70 years old. So I have to keep taking the “miracle” drugs that the medical industries puts out.
Please take action while you are still young, to stop your body from becoming as badly clogged as mine is.
There is a lot of evidence that even “whole” grain bread is bad unless the grains have been sprouted [turning them into a vegetable]. I now believe that Tempeh [with beans and grains] is the best vegetable you can get because beans are not vegetables until they have been activated by soaking for a couple of days, or until they begin to sprout. And because fungus makes food more digestible. Tempeh is not too hard to grow; See my other instructable: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Cook-With...
So if you have a local bread baker ask them to make sprouted wheat bread; even if they need to add wheat gluten [it is a protein]. The paranoia of wheat gluten allergy is mostly fear produced by the food industry's lies] However sprouted bread can be made without additional gluten; simply by not waiting until the sprouting grain starts to actually grow.
There are a lot of videos about how to make mouthwatering plant based burgers and a multitude of other vegan foods. My most favorite is Tempeh Burger with homemade Sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is the easiest to make.The
There are concerns that heavily processed plant-based products may be as bad for health as the much-maligned processed meat, mostly because they use way too much salt as a preservative. Make your own and you will know what's in it. Like the plant burger called Beyond Meat is hideous, tasting like raw meat even after cooking.
You can't go wrong with Yuba noodles. When soy milk is boiled on the way to becoming tofu, a skin forms on the surface of the liquid. This bean curd skin is Yuba. It has been employed for several hundred years as a meat alternative. Yet it may not be so easy to manufacture it. Chinese Buddhist monks [possibly the original vegans], eschewed animal-based meals, getting their protein instead through steamed bundles of chewy Yuba.
Warning!
Salt is a bigger killer than fat and cholesterol

Step 2: Nut Cheese
This is better than any kind of fake meat.
Soak and ferment nuts in chlorine free water and clean jar [a few drops of sauerkraut brine can start the ferment fast; do not use more than a teaspoon]. Kosher salt [about 3 tbsp per quart of water] for 2 to 6 days [or possibly longer in cold weather] untill the ferment has a sharp odor [not a peutred bad odor].
Poor out the brine water. Add yeast flakes, miso, garlic [pressed] lemon juice, tarragon [or other herbs] olive oil, chopped olives? Ground Ginger is good, and even hot pepper sauce. Mill in powerful food processor [450 watts or so] use spatula to keep pushing down the pulp to create a smooth paste. A blender will need more liquid, so you may need to strane some out. Find a tofu/cheese press on the internet. Place in jars and refrigerate. If you have live lacto-bacteria in it and plenty of salt you won't need to refrigerate [in hot weather it may need a little vinegar or more hot pepper]. Do not tighten the lid, the gas needs to force it's way out. I believe that this can be made with much less salt if you ferment the nuts in a sterilized container, like a pressure cooker that has been cooking beans. And leave out the Miso. Then keep the cheese cold. https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Cook-With...

Step 3: What Is the Difference Between Falafel and Humus?
Falafel does not need the garbanzo beans to be cooked before starting like Humus does. Soaking over night with a little balking soda helps make them softer. But the cooking is done after grinding, usually in deep frying, but baking works without the extra fat.
Falafel
In food processor:
- Pre-soaked Garbanzo chickpeas. [or Chickpea flour]
- Coriander [this is strong flavored but sweet]
- Paprika powder smoked [this could be hot pepper powder]
- Cumin [some people think this is essential but I do not]
- Wheat flour? [helps old it together]
- Garlic fresh [essential] Do not use powdered garlic, the flavor is not the same.
- Parsley [lots of it] essential.
- Onion [dry flakes are the best]
- Sesame seeds [toasted and ground] optional
- Oil? toasted sesame optional [gives a very good toasted flavor; you don't need much]
Bake or fry lightly
Humus
In food processor:
- Garbanzo chick peas [canned or fresh cooked]
- Tahini and Toasted Sesame seeds [ground in Siribachi]
- Toasted Sesame Oil [for flavor only] Or very good tasting Olive Oil [don't buy cheap bitter olive oil]
- Garlic infused olive oil or fresh garlic
- Lemon or Lime juice [more than you think]
- Tamarind [lemon substitute tree seed pod powder from India]
- green onion optional [or dry onion flakes]; never use garlic or onion powder.
- Salt [not much]
- Chili sauce ?[optional]
This is the best thing for non cholesterol food.
