At the out set it is necessary to explain what is Long Wheat.There appears no grain called Long Wheat in agricultural terminology.So name Long Wheat is the name given by the protagonist of this particular diet regimen.So what is this so called Long Wheat?Actually it is a variety of ANCIENT GRASS WHEAT domesticated (as per history) 12000 yrs.back near modern day Turkey.It is a hybrid variety,hybridization occurring before domestication .It still grows in wild and is also cultivated.Because of low yield it's cultivation is limited,but in recent times it's cultivation is picking up due to its nutritional and medicinal value.It is also grown in India in Maharastra,Andhra Pradesh and parts of Tamil Nadu.This wheat is commonly known as EMMER WHEAT.When it is harvested it is graded as LONG,Medium and cracked.It is a suggested by most people to use LONG,hence perhaps called Long Wheat.
Nutritional Value-- It is a whole grain that is an excellent source of Complex Carbohydrate.This carbohydrate of Emmer is different.It is called Cyanogenic Glucoside, which has been found to stimulate Immune System,lower Cholesterol AND help maintain Blood Sugar levels.Additionally EmmerWheat contains Twice the Fiber and Protein than the normal modern wheat which we eat.It is a Complete Protein diet when combined with legumes due very high protein content.While Emmer does contain gluten, the gluten molecules are weaker than the modern wheat making it easily digestible.
In addition to vitamins, minerals specially Magnesium and niacin and Iron,it is rich in Anti Oxidants,and Phytonutrients.These phytonutrients when combine with Choline has shown to prevent or reduce Stress Induced Inflammation which is a factor in development of CAD and Diabetes.
Here I quote an extract from an article by Dr.R.R.Hanchinal,Vice Chancellor,University of Agricultural Sciences,Dhawar, published on 23rd. Feb 2011.
"Emmer Wheat commonly known as Khapli, is found to have curative properties for treating diabetes and Cardio vascular diseases.Its capacity to Lower Blood Glucose and lipid levels and high temperature stress tolerance compared to other cultivated species make it therapeutic .The products of this variety are softer,tasty and have high Satiety value.These nutritional and functional qualities make Emmer Wheat more suitable as therapeutic food."

Very good. job done for the community, Patilputra I eat LW mash, LW roti, LW paratha. Its taste is addictive. I do not chance to eat rice and regular wheat chapati are out of my itinerary as it is now not that interesting. I have a problem though. My cook is angry that she has to eat regular wheat and not mine. I wait for season to start and plan to buy 2 50 kg bags. I find that neem leaves, dried and added keep the wheat safe. It keeps my stomach full longer and helps in reducing food.
I told you in the beginning you will enjoy the wheat's softness and taste. I am glad Patliputra is taking interest and has started simplifying its benefits to us.
Very informative and timely release. Thank you. I agree with you Anil guptha 101. We do not feel like eating any snaks but nuts and butter milk. You are steadily loosing weight with out any effort as well body is light.
I used to at at least one pack of Haldiram Namkeen/kurkure/samosas etc every day. Not anymore. Nuts, yogurt are good and also tea as it is still cold here.
You should not change yr diet without consulting yr doctor. Most of the guys around here seem to be otherwise okay and looking at improvement. This kind of concern has been raised first time. Good question.
Because you are here only to monopolize your view points and take on the forum. Is this your full time (24 X 7) job ? Give a chance for others to participate too. Do not snub anybody, please.
LW keeps gives the feeling of stomach full by eating lesser food. It digests slowly that is the feeling I get. When fat is added liberally, then even 5-6 hrs hunger pang is not there- so the period of satiation is further increased by 30-50%. Food is tastier and there is no constipation after this. See I did not like to make you angry so i did not tell you I had breakfast of eggs, bacon and bread fried in the lard from bacon after 7 years. It was heavenly. I eat the food without any feeling of guilt. calories from carbs <100 gm or it is a problem.
Medfree I have already expressed remorse. Now let me APOLOGIZE again for having donated money to AAP. They were trying and so i sent something. I am not a volunteer as my age and health will not like me to disturb my relaxed schedule. In deference to my friends wish i have decided never to argue with you so pls be assured I will,never retaliate, I have said earlier also that you have helped improve quality of my life and I should not have talked about AAP and antagonized you. Sorry again.
Dear friends,I felt sad and hurt,while going through the correspondences.I am to request all of you to kindly stop all these non issues.To fight for self respect is good, but to fight to satisfy ones ego is not expected of learned and knowledgeable people.We are passengers of same boat and joined this forum with single purpose and that is help each other by our varied experience and knowledge .Difference of opinion is a must but we should be tolerant and appreciative of others views.Let us not wander from the path to seek knowledge at the same time guide others to achieve the sole goal ie.to improve the quality of life through control of diabetes and it's complication.Thanks every body.
I have read your facebook page and appreciate you for standing for the Truth. Let us not give up !!!!!!!
Is Teesta Setelvad a diabetic?
Naqsh, I have become a fan of yours. Since you are a lawyer I need small help from you to give shape to my idea. After the jump in share market and making very good money, I thought I will vote for Namo Namo. One of my Sikh friends who is a fan of current PM says that BJP guysare like beggars outside places of religious worship asking for money in the name of God. They use up the money for drugs, gambling and trafficking. Same way my vote for Modi will be used up to put Papa Advani on the high chair since poor guy has been waiting for 10 yrs. He says Modi is just a decoy. Pls draft an undertaking which BJP must give that if Modi does not get 272 on his own strength and become PM then they will sit in opposition for 5 yr without disrupting parliament. I have written to AAP to pursue the subject and address my concern. I am told by the Sikh friend that BJP are paying guys from a budget of 400 crores to monopolize varius fora in the social media and abuse women who do ot support them. So I have kept low profile as some guys were getting aggressive. Ladies cannot fight goons. Pls only diabetes here. Last appeal. Do not let this forum become a battle ground.
IBN7 was started by my schoolmate Raghav Behl. After he faced financial hardship and cash crunch, Mr. Mukesh Ambani has invested heavily in IBN7 and bailed them out of a mess. In 1980 my wife and i made investments in Reliance and each share of Rs. 10 in multiplied 144 times and market price 960 each. . The More Reliance and Modi grow more money we make. IBN7 will destroy all against Modi. I need a guarantee that Modi alone will sit as PM in a BJP participating govt or they will sit in opposition as they did in Delhi. Dont worry, anyone against Modi will be killed in encounter/sent to jail/mobbed outside.
It was a joke in a very light vein. Not at all disrespect to anyone was intended. My profuse apology. As penance i close today. I spend my life laughing at myself cracking jokes at my own self. Disrespecting anyone is never my idea. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
It is really more encouraging after seeing your article. I am also approaching some of my friends (chemical experts) to provide some information related to Long Wheat. Once it is with me, I will provide the same here. Please keep posting information related to Long Wheat.
For the sake of proving the users of Long Wheat wrong, why don't you try it and post the results here. I am asking seriously and honestly, try LWMD once and let us see your results here. Who knows, we may get to know some more facts (either positive or negative) of Long Wheat from you too. I did tests for 1.5 and 2 hours and found nothing abnormal. Again I will test it for 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 hours and report the values here, very soon.
i am from mumbai but can anyone guide me from where I can purchase long wheat or khapli wheat i am Diabetic since 22 years and take 3 insulin injections per day Please help
This is the real breakthrough; mine is just an experience developed from the words of my maternal uncle who was an Aayurveda physician.
I was praying & waiting for this to happen.
I feel like telling all words like fantastic, marvelous etc etc.
The name Long Wheat is not mine; it is Indian-English name of it. Please see the name printed on a packet healthunlocked.com/diabetes... ---MYPOST 13, Name LONG WHEAT printed on packet.
Once again my heartfelt thanks for your great effort for the diabetic community & for saving my face.
Dear Anil Gupta ji. Thank you for sharing your progress and my best wishes for a speedy recovery, and with the exercise.
After much research I have been able to locate the right item.
For people living in the north india, a clarification is that it is not called wheat (gehoon) in the north, it is simplay called jau or jaw (as spoken in English). Calling it wheat was confusing for me as I kept looking for a variety of wheat in the north, and they never give or show you jau when you ask for wheat varieties.
Technically, of course, jau is emmer wheat.
Also, there is a detailed medical study on Emmer Wheat (which has ancient European origins) effects on Diabetes.
