About the Genesis of The Greysheet Food Plan - Very Low Carbohydrate Foodplan & Greysheet Recipes

The Greysheet Food Plan is used as a personal plan of recovery by many members in Overeaters Anonymous, Greysheeters Anonymous, and others in eating recovery groups dealing with eating disorders and problems around food. Overeaters Anonymous and Greysheeter's Anonymous are 12 Step Recovery programs, patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous. They are eating recovery programs to help members deal with addiction, food issues, compulsive overeating, and eating disorders. This book provides a new Foreword explaining the genesis and history of the "Greysheet" Food Plan. Readers will find complete information about the 12-Step Recovery Group, Greysheeters Anonymous, based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous Inc., and the "Greysheet" Food Plan and Method, a very low carbohydrate, high protein food plan, no breads, flour products, only products that list sugar at least fifth on the label, and quantities suggested in weighed and measured amounts. The Greysheet Recipes included in this edition are contributed by members of greysheetrecipes@yahoogroups.com, an online forum, and conform to "the original Greysheet" very low carb food plan, copyrighted 1972, Rev. 1974. The discussion group greysheetrecipes@yahoogroups.com is for members to post and discuss recipes that meet the requirements of the food on the Greysheet Food Plan. While this reader does not contain a copy of "the original Greysheet" Food Plan, you can obtain a copy of the Greysheet by contacting a member of one of the Greysheet support groups and get a Sponsor through one of the links offered in the book. The recipes are published with the advisory that members of both programs, Overeaters Anonymous and Greysheeters Anonymous, work with their Sponsors and consult their Sponsors about what is abstinent. You can find links to both OA and Greysheeters Anonymous resources in this reader, and more about some of the specialty foods like soynut butter, soy products, digital scales for weighing and measuring food amounts, and literature on recovery from compulsive overeating.
