Is cornbread permissible on either MWL or otherwise?

[Michele613]

I am feeling guilty about eating so much homemade cornbread but I enjoy it and it helps keep me on program.
I use 2 c cornmeal, 1/2 plant milk, 2/3 c unsweetened applesauce, (I'd like to add 1/4 c of some kind of sugar but no sure if it is okay to do so and then eat so much). Can I eat as much as I want of this?

Can I eat as much as I want of brown rice fettuccine? Also creating guilt.

Your help would be so appreciated. I just finished up my 1st month and lost 11#s but I want to find those 'simple' few recipes that you suggest we have to stay on program. The above 2 are getting my attention. Thank you.

They're not MWL, but they're McDougall-friendly, and I say if you're losing weight and feeling good while eating them, go for it!

I think those two foods are okay on regular McDougall. If at some point you stop seeing results you like, then you could reassess.

There are some cornbread recipes archived on this site that do contain a little sweeteners/sugar, but if you actually like cornbread without sugar why add any? The applesauce does add a hint of sweetness.

Thank you Idgie and Always Agnes for your input. I'll just keep trying....persistence, right? One of the keys to success. Hope you both have found it through Dr. McDougall too.
