Hi Carolyn-

 

I had my baby 19 months ago and am still working on losing the

pre-pregnancy weight - it takes time!!! When he was about 5 months old I

began exercising again at a gym and was slowly losing weight but was

stuck at a point with 10 pounds to go for the longest time. I had been

exercising 3 to 4 times a week regularly (aerobics and weights). Since

August I have been going 4 to 5 times a week and I put my step up one

level for the step classes - that seems to really have helped. I have 3

1/2 pounds to go to my pre-pregnancy weight but my clothes fit me better

than ever before because I am much more firm now!

 

I think for me the key has been to focus on enjoying the exercise so that

I continue it regularly, as well as eating what I enjoy so as not to feel

deprived. I am very lucky though in that I do not have a sweet tooth -

salty things such as chips are my downfall...

 

If you are looking for someone to correspond with about this to help keep

you motivated, I would be happy to be that person. Good luck!!!

I think there is so much truth in what you are saying here. My decision to

become vegetarian steemed from my daughters' need to do so. She has

different ideas about it than I do but I want her to know I respect her

feelings. I have always had a personal revulsion about cooking and

handling meats. I never have been able to eat meat off the bone and my

daughter's decision to become veg has given me the 'out' I have perhaps

needed and been looking for. My husband and my son have been pretty good

about this new cooking going on in our home too. While I think that humans

don't need to injest any animal products to live healthy lives I do think

there are some obvious benifts to consumming these 'gifts' (good word).

Convenience being one. I think there needs to be tolerance on both sides

of the vegan/veg lines with the flesh eating community that dominates the

population in order for there to be a healthy demonstration of the use of

animals.

Hi Katie,

 

I have read your pleas and feel I must repond. First, do you smoke?

Smokers tend to be more likely to be victims of the dreaded cold, flu and

lung infections. With regards to supplementing your diet and avoiding the

'sick syndrome', I would personally recommend vitamin C, vitamin E (be

careful of those in gelatin capsules), co-enzyme Q-10 and a multi-vitamin.

I have recently starting taking Q-10 and I am in love. Since taking Q-10 I

am no longer a victim to the " office cold' and the occasional dizziness.

The most important thing to remember is that knowledge is power. Learn,

read, listen and make sure you know what you need and what you should eat to

satisfy what need. I hope I helped... Donny

The list has a lot of great info...

Where can I learn about macrobiotics?

I don't think I am really lazy, but I am certainly time challenged with

barely enough time to eat my lunch. However recently I have been eating

at KooKooRoo in the San Francisco South Bay Area where I find them, and was

delighted with the rich taste of what they call their " 10 vegetable

vegetarian Soup " which is truly delicious. I buy it from them by the

quart to take home after finishing my meal including it when I am lucky

enough to be near a KKR at lunch time. I talked with the manager, and she

said they make it there from scratch.

 

Now I want to make it at home myself, and the following recipie looked kind

of like it. But vegetable broth that I buy in the local grocery store is

expensive, and I want to make that part of it also, preferably at the same

time. I think I've seen recipies for vegetable broth, but don't know where

one is at the moment.

 

Does anyone have a way to make the entire thing all from vegetables at the

same time? I kind of thought I would cook it in a crock pot overnight.

I'm really fond of soup for my evening meal, when I eat much less than I do

at lunch. But I hate to buy the canned variety, since I'm sure there are

things in it I wouldn't like if I knew, and this despite taking much too

much time reading the ingredients lists for every kind of vegetable soup I

can find at the store.

 

I notice that the 10 vegetable soup from KKR has excellent seasoning in it,

which I think is the secret of good vegetarian soup, but I have no idea how

to season something like this. They also serve it scalding hot, so I

presume it cannot be overcooked.

Thanks, Dennis. I printed as friend's dh has kidney stones. Is it true

that heating the oxalic acid turns it to crystals if conditions you

mentioned were right. Is one of those conditions, besides what you

mentioned, have to be that the oxalic acid needs to be heated or cooked?

Are you suggesting if I do heat soymilk, even if I'm ok in the other areas,

then I'm not going to get the kidney stones? My friends husband drinks a

gallon of milk a day. I am taking calcium supplements, but don't know if my

vegan diet and healthiness will protect me from this. The guy that got sick

in the book was eating cooked spinach, raw tomatoes and onions, maybe,

almost exclusively, which she told him to avoid all of this. I'm just

wondering if it's still safe to drink soy milk. I'd be interested to know

your opinion. You seem knowledgable about these things. How did you learn

all of this stuff? Thanks for your help.

Although calcium oxalate along with calcium phosphate forms the greatest

percentage of urinary calculi there are other causes for kidney stones. In

order to obtain the proper treatment, the type of stone needs to be determined.

However, as a general rule in treating stones, increasing fluid (water) intake

can be very beneficial in increasing urinary flow and in diluting the urine.

This reduces the possibility of mineral precipitation and formation of calculi.

It is my recollection that heat actually destroys oxalates but please don't take

that as gospel because my memory has proven faulty in the past.

No, I'm not suggesting that at all. There are many conditions which predispose

people to kidney stones. For example, there is a condition known as Primary

Hyperoxaluria in which there are large amounts of oxalates in the urine that are

not derived from dietary intake of oxalic acid at all. Rather it is derived

from the conversion of the amino acid glycine by an oxidative deamination to

glyoxylic acid. I believe that the precise enzymatic defect is unknown.

However, YOU DON'T HAVE primary hyperoxaluria and neither does you friend's

husband. This is just an example.

I would suggest to your friend's husband that a gallon of milk a day is way too

much. If he is having kidney stones and the stones are calcium then you can see

the connection here. Adults do not require milk in their diet in order to

experience good health. Also, it is my belief that dietary intake requirements

for calcium are way too high and have been instituted by the government due to

successful pressures from the American Dairy Association.

I drink soy milk myself and also provide it for my family. It is my belief that

soy milk is not only safe but a valuable asset to a veg*n diet. No one in my

family consumes dairy and I do not consider any of us to be unhealthy. As is

frequently mentioned, a varied and balanced diet is best. If you believe that

certain foods are detrimental to your health then I would advise eliminating

them from your diet.

I am a licensed health care professional.

I hope this helps.

thanks for the e-mail. I've been vegan for about 10 years and before that

vegetarian. I am now 27 years old living in Bracing Skegness. I haven't

even met any vegetarians in Skegness never mind vegans. However, I am glad

there is a Lincolnshire vegan group so that I can meet up with fellow

vegans.

 

where abouts are you from? How long have you been vegan? Do you find it

hard to meet other vegans?

 

Anyway I think I am just about getting the hang of this e-mailing, although

something strange always seems to happen now and again to confuse me. Are

you any good with Computers?

Hi Helen

 

I'm same age as you (!) living in a place called Sunbury On Thames which is

near Heathrow Airport (about 5 miles away)

 

I've been Vegan for 3 years now and yes, it is hard to find like minded

people to socialise with!!

 

I mean, most people I meet will confess to loving animals, but to me it's

rather odd to say that in one breath and at the same time be a part of one

of the cruellest, most disrespectful industries that exists - the meat

industry!

 

I have found myself recently to be often quoting a line from a book called

'When Elephants Weep' -namely, 'If slaughterhouse walls were made of glass,

most people would be vegetarian'....

 

I can't even watch Animal Hospital without getting myself in a lather!!

 

I've just watched it tonight only to see a harrowing scene of a puppy who

was thrown over a wall and left

 

It took 45 minutes for the RSPCA inspector to gain enough trust simply to

pick him up

 

Luckily he's been happily rehomed now

 

I work in Sales and Marketing mainly in the IT industry although I must

stress that this doesn't mean at all that I am particularly computer

literate!!

 

If you unsure about anything I believe that Vaughan's your man (in the Vegan

e-group) for any tecchie questions!

 

I hope very much that you will join us for a meal which we are trying to

organise in the next few weeks - admittedly the initial one will be in

London although you are more than welcome to stay over at one of our houses!

 

I 'm really pleased that Hayley has set this group up because I think it's

really important that we all get to know each other and not feel that we are

somehow different. Just because we choose not to eat what we love does not

make us weird - I happen to think that all those people who can somehow

detach from what they see on their dinner plate and what had to happen for

it to get there are slightly weird myself!

 

I think the main problem is sheer ignorance - I don't think that the

majority of people have ever even seen the smallest piece of footage from an

abbatoir - so how could they know?

 

Are you very active on animal rights Helen? Are there any causes which are

particularly important to you?

 

Write Soon!

 

Regards

 

Katy

Dear Katy

 

Thanks for the E-mail, must be noisy living near to the Airport. Do you

like living there? I have always found it easier to meet like mined

people when I have lived in cities, at the minute I am living in a small

town.

 

Tell me more about " when elephants weep " I haven't heard the quote before?

Is it a good read?

 

I'd love to come up for a meal, perhaps for the next one as I am kind of

busy at the moment. It sound as if everyone in the group is friendly, have

you met up before?

 

Unfortunately I am not very active in animal rights, apart from signing the

odd petition and making donations. I used to do some publicity for the Dr

Hadwen Trust for the Humane Treatment of Animal. I just don't seem to get

the time any more. Are you very active in animal rights?

 

Helen

Another quickie: Spinach, tomato, chickpea pasta!

Here's another one that you can fix in less than a half-hour and even my carnivore of a son loves it.INGREDIENTS1 12 oz can of chickpeas1 package frozen spinachA fist-full of cherry or grape tomatoes1 large onion2-3 cloves chopped garlic (I love garlic and use it liberally)1 tbsp olive oil1/4 cup Italian dressing (I like Paul Newman's)1 sm package of bow-tie pasta (or whatever you prefer)Dash of red pepper flakesDIRECTIONSHeat onions/garlic/red pepper flakes in olive oil in a LARGE frying pan until tenderAdd thawed package of spinach, tomatoes, chickpeas and stir without boiling the mixture.Boil pasta until el dente', strain and carefully add to mixtureLast, add salad dressing and mix well.SERVING IDEASThis is one of my one-course quickies and the only thing I add is Parmesan cheese. For vegans, hmmmm. is there a substitute for Parmesan cheese? For me, it really sets this dish off. This dish seems to grow and grow and GROW in the pan so it will easily serve a family of four and makes good leftovers. This is a variation of a recipe out of "Vegetarian Express" by Nava Atlas.

Hi!

I'm a junior in college, been a vegetarian for over a

year now and enjoying it. It's really widened my

horizons when it comes to foods. I enjoy pastas, and I

was wanting to know if anyone had any fun pasta ideas

or unique sauce recipes. Also, I had this soup over

the weekend and it was delicious, just wanted to share

it.

Hi, Jill. I have been a vegan for 2 years, a vegetarian for 12 years before

that (I am now 30 y.o.) and was raised in a meat-eating household. I

appreciate your comment regarding " re-teaching the mind " about veganism. I

find that reading as much as I can and otherwise educating myself about the

benefits of veganism re-enforces my choice to live a vegan lifestyle. In

response to your request about a typical daily vegan diet, below is an idea

of my daily consumption (all items are vegan, purchased at my local

whole/health foods store because we also eat organic, although most items

are available at larger grocery stores). Note that because of my lifestyle

(very physically rigorous--I am a dancer, cyclist, and yoga instructor), I

eat a medium-sized breakfast, large lunch, and small dinner--this just

works best for my schedule (my husband eats differently; his dinners are

more like my lunches).

 

BREAKFAST: 35% fruit museuli with soymilk, OR bagel with fruit, OR pancakes

LUNCH: leafy green salad (various kinds), some kind of grain (brown rice,

couscous, etc., or pasta) with vegetables (various kinds; steamed, roasted,

etc.), and major protein (tofu, tempeh, seitan), soy yogurt (we love " Whole

Soy " brand--tastes just like cow's milk yogurt), 2 pieces of fresh fruit

(banana, apple, orange, grapefruit, pear, peach, etc.)

DINNER: soup (canned or homemade), OR salad, OR steamed/sauteed

greens/vegetables with seaweed, OR left-overs of one of my husband's

interesting experimental but always delicious tempeh-vegetable-grain

concoction (as a recent meat-eater, tempeh has been his hero in becoming

vegan....he loves it and loves to experiment with cooking it: steamed,

sauteed, in casseroles and other recipes).

 

I drink only water and tea, with an occasional soymilk/fruit smoothie. And

my husband and I both have a 'sweet tooth,' so I occasionally make a vegan

cake, pie or cookies. Anyway, hope this helps. I'm sure as you experiment

more, you'll find and enjoy the limitless, varied, and delicious

possibilities of eating vegan. (BTW, I recommend cookbooks like " Simply

Vegan, " that include not only recipes but information and resources about

veganism as well.) Good luck!

Thank you so much to everyone who is sharing recipes. We are trying to go

vegan as much as possible and I told my husband last night that it's hard

because I just don't have that many good recipes or experience in cooking

this way. Ground beef is the staple of pretty much everything I grew up

with! I have printed out almost everything that has been sent to the list

and look forward to more! When I find some of my own I will be sure to

reciprocate.

Welcome Amy! I too was raised on ground beef, pork chops, lots of BBQ steak

and ribs.....it is hard to re-teach the mind about meat potatoes and canned

veggie kind of meals...

I have decided to do some meal planning and shopping so I can be more

organized, that keeps us away from the " lets get pizza " mode or even worse

Dairy Queen!! Ugh!

I would love to hear the typical day of eating from some vegan's out

there... : )

Hmm...for breakfast, I had some vegan pancakes with fruit pieces

 

Since I am pregnant I like to snack, so I always keep a well supply of raw

fresh fruit and lots of nuts around. Also we can buy those vegan snack bite

sized pizza rolls sometimes, or I snack with hummus and crackers. Dried fruit

is great, we plan to get a food dehydrator soon.

 

then for lunch, maybe a bean, rice and salsa pita? yum

 

I snack throughout to make sure I am getting what I need and to keep me from

getting very hungry

 

then we have like 8 vegan and vegetarian cook books, with the vegetarian nes

we replace any non vegan ingrediants like eggs and dairy, and we eat. My

favorite dinner would be rosemary potatoes, stuffed mushrooms, some herb

bread and maybe a three bean salad?? and fruit of course, I'm a fruit freak.

No, but do you have one that doesn't? I'd love a tamale recipe, and maybe I

can convert it.

nope. but i can tell you that my hubby's grandmother (a world-class tamale maker) makes a delicious bean tamale. she started making them when i went veg, and they're better than any meat variety i ever tasted. she uses the same spices that she uses to season the meat (chili powder and.... i have no idea). beware of buying the pre-made masa (dough), though. it's usually made with lard. yuck.

I lost 35lbs of having-a baby fat by using www.ediets.com. They give you a

weekly meal plan and shopping list and they can account for special dietary

needs.
