For most people increasing

their intake of raw foods is probably a good thing, but a 100% raw

diet is obsessive and of no demonstrable benefit.

 

Paul

 

 

Thanks Paul - thats a worthy reminder, I'm the kind of " all or nothing "

personality

and I did try a raw food diet about 10yrs ago (bought a lot of the Kentons

books:

Raw Food Energy etc) ...but I just couldnt sustain it ..think I lasted two

weeks

and then I couldnt do it anymore! I missed cups of tea, toast - and a hot

cooked

meal now and then! Amazing what you miss isnt it. I was looking at some of

the

links and I could feel myself getting obsessive and mentally cutting out

everything

- but realistically, if I just made sure that at least one meal a day is

totally raw

that would be a start wouldnt it. I tend to read articles and go over

board -

especially as in the back of my mind my mothers side of the family suffer

terribly with cancer - my own mother died of bowel cancer at 55yrs - and its

so

prevalent in that side, so I tend to read all the stuff about it being so

good

and healthy and then try to go to the extreme 100% - probably making myself

and my poor longsuffering family miserable in the process!

 

Thanks again! Alison

Yes, like so many things in life, it seems that it's all about

finding the right balance. I suggest eating stuff raw that tastes

good raw (e.g. broccoli) and cooking stuff that doesn't (e.g. potatoes).

 

Good luck, and don't let those obsessive tendendcies get hold of

you. ;-)

Hi Lisa!

 

May I ask if you find it difficult doing all the cooking for everyone

in your household when you are vegan? I'm vegan, but my husband is

not. We have no children. He eats what I make occasionally, he

doesn't mind many of my vegan meals. But he also makes himself

plenty of omnivore meals. When he wants meat, he prepares it himself.

I am trying to transition my daughter in to fixing their meat and leaving the

rest up to me. I don't WANT the meat or anything, I just think it would be nicer

if I didn't have to fix it for them.

My DS is only 8, and although we are an all-veg family, he knows that if he

does not want what I have prepared for dinner, he can go to the

fridge/pantry and make himself:

 

- sandwich

- veggie dog

- frozen waffle

- toast

- microwaved leftovers

- fr bean burrito

- fr pizza

- fresh fruit/veg

- yoghurt

- cold salad

 

He can also make a number of things with only minimal supervision, such as:

 

- eggs (I believe this is that okay to say on the list?)

- oatmeal

- soup

- fr veggies

 

He has certain guidelines to follow so that he still has a balanced diet,

but that is not usually an issue.

That's really good for him too, to be able to take care of himself like that. I

miss my kids being that little. I have a 21 year old daughter and my stepson

(whom I raised)is 26.

 

I became a vegan after fighting colon cancer. Four years ago this month, I was

given 2 months to live. Here I am , cancer free and vegatarian and feeling

better at 42 than I have in years. For that reason alone, I wish I could get my

loved ones to understand that eating meat is dangerous to their bodies. They

don't see it the way I do though.

My daughter who's 3 isn't allowed to fix anything for herself other than a bowl

of cereal or assisted with a sandwich of some sort.

With toddlers, you have to be careful not only that there is no preparation

required on the child's part, but also that they are supervised when they

eat and aren't going to either choke gobble up everything at once [i am

still trying to teach my DS about portion sizes].

 

All of the following are easy for a three-year-old to help herself to if

pre-cut and preportioned by mom, and dips are put in a snack-sized

bowl/yogurt container. Little ones like being able to choose or get it

ready themselves. When you are preparing it ahead, you can have her help

you pick out and wash veggies, spoon dips into containers, choose what to

mix into a trail mix, etc.

 

- fresh fruit and veggies

- crackers and sliced cheese

- teddy grahams or dry cereal

- pitas and hummus [DS would eat hummus by the handful]

- taco shell and refried beans

- granola bar

- juice containers

- dried fruit/trail mix

- applesauce

- yogurt

- jello/pudding cups [the commercial individual-sized cups do not include

gelatin]

- canned fruit

- rice pudding

- veggie deli slices, hot dog chunks, ham cubes, etc.

- mini bagels

- cubed cheese

- cubed hb egg

- popsicles

Well duh, she's my shadow. I have preportioned food for her, but I'm just

stating that she can go into the cabinet and get a box of cereal and ask for

help with milk jug. I don't expect her to cook. What do you think I am an idiot?

I know how to take care of my child. She has her own snack drawer while her

friends do not and are not allowed to get anything by themselves unless the

parent unlocks the cupboard or fridge. I do not lock food away from my child,

she knows that she can go and get something if she's hungry. I don't expect her

to only eat at specific times of the day like we adults do.

Hi Karen,

 

Let me add my voice to the welcome...I have some thoughts about

protein powders...

Whey protein isolate does not have the allergens found in dairy so it

may be just fine for you.

I found the pea protein one to be nasty <smile>. If you decide to go

non soy, non dairy, Nutritbiotic rice protein is nice.

It is fine to use the .4 grams to calculate which would bring it down

significantly.

Try and see what you get.

Yes, canned are just fine <smile>

Hi Karen,

I usually recommend Students Go Vegan by Carole Raymond because it is very

simple to use and most of the dishes have only a few ingredients.

 

If you are new to vegetarianism too, I suggest buying or borrowing a copy of

Laurel's Kitchen and reading the introduction, to learn a bit about protein

combining. (The recipes are good too, just not all vegan.)

 

I use a non-soy vegan protein powder made by Naturade; however they seem to be

having production problems (or going out of business?) as Whole Foods is out of

stock with no replacement date known.

 

Yes, you can use canned beans. Just be sure to drain them and rinse them well

as they are processed with salt (if sodium is a concern). I use both canned for

convenience, but when I have time, I cook a huge batch and freeze in individual

servings in Tupperware. Many people find that beans that have been frozen lose

much of their gas-producing qualities. Also, many also find that their digestive

systems adapt after awhile. I eat enough beans to make my teenage nephews tease

me mercilessly - but beans don't bother me at all anymore!

 

If you are able to eat soy at all, try shelled edamame. They can be found

frozen in most big supermarkets as well as Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. They

don't normally cause gas like other beans, and have a whopping 24 grams of

protein per cup. You can mix them half and half with corn for a high-protein

succotash.

 

Nuts and seeds are good sources of protein; however very high in fat, so are

good to combine with other vegan protein sources.

 

Lastly, if it is within your budget to do so, visit one or more vegan

restaurants, and try some of the more exotic dishes. It's amazing what a little

inspiration (and a night off from cooking) can do!

Sharon, Gail and Lacie,

 

Thanks for the warm welcome!

 

I'm on step 3.25 I guess - babystepping step 3, working on the

I'm a bigone and it's a challenge getting enough protein even with

meat. So it would be a big help to hear about protein sources. I'm

probably overdoing it with cheese. I've discovered I probably have

a dairy allergy. Milk seems to make me sleepy - since I stopped

having a milk based shake for breakfast I am much more clear headed

in the morning. I still use a whey based protein powder though - I

add it to oatmeal. I'd like to get away from dairy altogether but

that doesn't leave a whole lot. Most protein powder seems to be

I doubt I will try to be vegan (to my daughter's dismay). I just

can't see how I could get enough protein. Perhaps waay down the

road when I don't need as much, I will rethink that. If anyone has

ideas to share for getting 42 grams of non meat protein in a meal, I

think that's what I need help with. That's a lot of eggs, even more

beans. I won't have to worry about oil prices, I'll never run out

I will look in the files for protein sources and values. I did copy

some recipes from the files and tried one - the sour chick peas.

They were good - my whole family liked them - but took forever (a

day and a half) and still the chick peas were a little crunchy. Can

you use canned chick peas instead?

 

I'll look for that book on Amazon.com. What a clever title! I have

one in my cart - a cookbook, Vegan with a Vengeance. Anyone tried

that one?

 

Thanks again

Thanks for the explanation about the whey protein. It didn't seem

to be making me spacey like milk does, I should trust my

perceptions. Nice to be validated. Also I will try using .4 to

calculate protein. I weigh 250 lbs :( so that would be 100 grams a

day or 33 a meal, does that sound right? I have found that if I use

several different protein sources in a meal it doesn't seem so

excessive as I don't have to eat huge amounts of any one.

 

Everyone says that pea protein is nasty. I had a shake made with it

once that was delicious (made by someone trying to sell it to me).

It had lots of vanilla yogurt and frozen berries in it. Hid the

taste but sorta defeats the purpose.

Gail,

Thanks for all the suggestions. That cookbook sounds good; I'm into

simple (just don't have time for anything else). The protein

combining would be a helpful also. I can eat some soy, it was just

when I started every day with a soy/soy shake (soy milk and soy

powder) I didn't feel so good :P. The edamame and corn succotash

sounds great - I like edamame and I think I have some in the freezer

right now. I like edamame in yellow rice, too. I have a rice cooker

that makes rice dishes very easy. hmm...

Hello,

 

About protein powder -- I've seen both hemp and rice protein powderavailable at

some health food stores -- the Vitamin Cottage comes tomind, they're a regional

chain who have stores in Colorado, NM, andsome other places I think. I can't

remember the price but seems to meit was reasonable. Vitamin Cottage tends to

be cheaper than the otherhealth food stores where I live.

Sharon, Gail and Lacie,

 

Thanks for the warm welcome!

 

I'm on step 3.25 I guess - babystepping step 3, working on the

interval between breakfast and lunch. Taking two steps forward and

one step back.

 

I'm a bigone and it's a challenge getting enough protein even with

meat. So it would be a big help to hear about protein sources. I'm

probably overdoing it with cheese. I've discovered I probably have

a dairy allergy. Milk seems to make me sleepy - since I stopped

having a milk based shake for breakfast I am much more clear headed

in the morning. I still use a whey based protein powder though - I

add it to oatmeal. I'd like to get away from dairy altogether but

that doesn't leave a whole lot. Most protein powder seems to be

based on either soy or whey. I know Arbonne makes one with pea

protein but it's expensive - haven't tried it. Anyone know of a

good non soy non dairy protein powder?

 

I doubt I will try to be vegan (to my daughter's dismay). I just

can't see how I could get enough protein. Perhaps waay down the

road when I don't need as much, I will rethink that. If anyone has

ideas to share for getting 42 grams of non meat protein in a meal, I

think that's what I need help with. That's a lot of eggs, even more

beans. I won't have to worry about oil prices, I'll never run out

of gas!

 

I will look in the files for protein sources and values. I did copy

some recipes from the files and tried one - the sour chick peas.

They were good - my whole family liked them - but took forever (a

day and a half) and still the chick peas were a little crunchy. Can

you use canned chick peas instead?

 

I'll look for that book on Amazon.com. What a clever title! I have

one in my cart - a cookbook, Vegan with a Vengeance. Anyone tried

that one?

 

Thanks again

 

Karen

I have been using a powder called The Supreme Meal by Peaceful

Planet. It is pea based also. At the health food store it is close to

twenty dollars but I found it on line for $13.00 plus some change.

The shipping was $5.00 so I bought two of them. This powder has no

added sugars and includes a glocose support formula. I am very new at

doing the food and actually tried this powder the same week I found

the Sugar Addicts Total Recovery book. I have tried other powders and

I feel stuffy from them. I feel very light with tghis one and it

lasts for hours with me. I have been having it alone in the morning.

The serving size supplies 17 grams of protein so I have added a half

scoop more to bring it to 24, but tomorrow I think I will have an egg

with a regular serving. The canister should last 10 days if I have

one shake a day.

I use it in chili and baked beans - nothing fancy, I just throw it in.

Hi everyone at Vegan Chat. I just wanted to say hi really and introduce myself. My name is Samantha and Ive been vegan for three years and veggie for around 15. I am absolutely committed to animal rights and am involved with a few campaigns to stop animal abuse. Will keep this short and sweet for now and once I know my way around, will start getting involved with the chat.

Awesome Dayna! My personal favorite for shake flavor is frozen banana and

strawberries.

So far so good. Two days of breakfast.

 

 

 

I had smoothie with

 

rice protein

 

soy milk

 

frozen banana

 

bluberries

 

 

 

It was okay. I'll have to experiment.

 

Feeling overwhelmed and " paralyzed " in life but getting through.

 

Can hardly believe I'm willing at all. I hope I can get this.

 

Thanks you all.

Dayna,

 

Congratulations! It sounds yummy! I haven't put blueberries in my shake in

forever. I may have to go and get some. And I know for me, the overwhlemed

and paralyzed did slowly lesson. For me, a big part of that steadiness were

making the steps habits. Breakfast became less of a commitment and a worry and

more like brushing my teeth in the morning. I never think about doing it or not

doing it - it's just part of the day.
