how do you use humas?



Recommended Posts

7_13_17.gifO.K. this may seem like a dumb question, but how do you use humas? I kept hearing about how good it is for you. I bought 2 different kinds of it and have no idea in what to use it in, or how to fix it into a dip or anything else. So would somebody please help me out? Thanks

I buy whole wheat tortillas, spread hummus and roll it up and eat it. Nice snack. As someone else said, you can use it for veggie dip, pita chip dip or by itself. In New York City there is a vegan restaurant that serves a meal that has hummus as a base, brown rice on top of it and a vegan style chicken on top of the brown rice and it is WONDERFUL!!! I didn't miss the meat at all at this restaurant.

as already said above, i use it as a dip with raw veggies...carrots, celery etc or i use it as a spead...in stead of using butter or margarine on my bread. I also use it for pitta pizza....

cut the pitta bread in half, spread the humas over the pita....

add red onion, grated cheese, sliced peppers, sweetcorn, mushrooms, tuna and top with a lil bit of cheese....umm its delcious!! and low calorie.

Add it to your salads, avocado, salmon, rocket leaves, spring onions etc and then hummas. LOVELY STUFF! Blend red peppers into a paste and add it to the hummas put on crackers or pita bread...hmmm yummy! I use my hummas on just about everything. I love the stuff.

Want to add more garlic to your diet? Blend garlic cloves till they are a paste and add to your hummas. This with grilled chicken is yummy yummy.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
