Pritikin Recipes
Due to a recent illness Ive been advised to avoid Red Meat/Poulty/Pork, Fats, Processed/canned and refined food, Beans, Wheat/Gluten and Dairy. Im a culinary arts graduate, so complicated recipes dont bother me, but im looking for good ideas for meals for myself. My diet allows Tofu/Gluten-free pasta+bread/Seafood +Shell fish/ and mushrooms as a main source of protein, many organic fruits and vegetables and rice and sweet potatoes as a starch. Any Vegetarians/Vegans have any tips for me? Please realise that this was not a choice for me to be meatfree but a medical reccomendation due to an illness I have-and so far since ive started this diet ive been almost pain free.
My question again was about diet cooking tips and there have been some great answers

Since you mentioned you needed to avoid meats and gluten foods and refined foods. My suggestion is a delicious gluten free Hawaiian pizza using fresh pineapple chunks, black olives, green bell pepper, Almond Cheese, fresh tomato sauce and the sliced thin tofu as an alternative for the meat. Also a mango plot using fresh mangoes and crushed gluten free bread crumbs will be a great dessert. You can find the gluten free pizza crust and gluten free bread crumbs here.
