Millet was possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic
purposes and was the staple food in China before rice was introduced about
12,000 years ago. It is still an important staple food in parts of Africa,
India and Asia. The grain has long aroused the interest of food experts,
such as in the case of the Hunza tribe where millet is an essential item
in the diet. The Hunzas are a remarkable tribe living in the Himalayan
foothills and famed for their longevity and fitness. Every basic Hunza
food such as yoghurt and millet is now coming under scrutiny by modern
nutritionists.
Among the grains, millet is well balanced in essential amino acids.
It has more iron than any other cereal. The protein utilization value of
millet is greatly increased by the addition of legumes. To cook millet,
bring 4-5 cups of water to a boil & stir in 1 cup of millet. Lower
the heat and simmer for 15 - 25 minutes.

nutritious and is almost impervious to spoilage. The following recipe
makes a huge batch of approximately 60 (sixty) x 2 inch squares, high

Hunza Diet Bread has a taste that is very satisfying and chewy all on
its own, but you may also add if required, apricots, raisins, chopped
walnuts, almonds, sliced dates to the above ingredients. Mix
ingredients. Grease and lightly flour cooking pan(s). Ideally use
baking trays with about 1 inch high sides. Pour batter in pan(s) half
an inch thick over the base. Bake at about 300 degrees farenheit (150
C.) for 1 hour. After cooking, dry the bread in the oven for two (2)
hours at a very low heat - 90 degrees farenheit (50 C). After it is
cooled tip out and cut into approx 2 inch x 2 inch squares. Store it
wrapped in cloth in a container.
You may need to repeat the baking depending on the size of your baking
pan, and oven, until all the mixture has been used.
Hunza Diet Bread is made from natural buckwheat or millet flour. It
is
rich in phosphorous, potassium, iron, calcium, manganese and other
minerals, as nothing has been destroyed in the preparation from the
wheat. Thus it contains the essential nourishment of the grain. This
is
why you must ONLY use natural buckwheat or millet flour to make your
own Hunza Diet Bread..... Good luck and good health .. bon appetite :-)
Suggestions to lose weight with HUNZA DIET BREAD There are many ways
to do it. This is another benefit. It's flexible. Here are some typical
plans. Each piece of bread is thinly spread with butter for a total
of
approximately 100 calories.
Plan A: Eat 1 piece every 5 hours of the 16 hours you're awake. That's
3 pieces which total 300 calories. This is the fastest way to lose
weight I know of. It works faster than any high protein diet. Why?
You
have more energy and burn more calories. Second, the high fiber bread
keeps your digestive system regular. Third, your body stays healthy.
A
healthy body means a properly functioning metabolic system.
Plan B: Really gorge yourself with the bread. Two pieces every four
hours for a total of 8 pieces but only 800 calories. You'll feel full
all day. In fact, I doubt many people could eat this much of the bread.
Plan C: Eat a piece in the morning for breakfast and a piece 3 hours
before your dinner and you will eat a great deal less.
Plan D: Eat a piece of HUNZA DIET BREAD, 10 minutes before you eat
your
regular meal. When we do this we eat only a fraction, such as 1/4 of
what we would normally eat. If we wait longer than 10 minutes we don't
want to eat at all.
Plan E: Eat the bread at the end of meals that don't fill you up
enough, such as low calorie meals. This is a perfect way to use the
bread. You eat a low calorie meal, enjoy it, then eat a piece or two
of
bread to fill you up. Perfect! No suffering and no urge to snack.
Plan F: Alternate Plan A, B, C, D. We recommend an alternation of the
plans, but some people who just want to get the weight off as soon
as
possible will use Plan A exclusively.
