Protein

[Guest guest]

Okay, I have to add my two cents here. I agree that eating a raw veggie is

better, but the point of juicing is that you don't have the time or energy to

snack on the vast amount of raw veggies that you need in a day. Before I

started juicing I was only getting a couple of servings of veggies and now I am

getting much more. Juicing is a great way of getting enough nutrients and it is

also a great way to detox. To all their own, but for me, juicing has helped me

look better, feel better, and gain more energy.

P.S. If you are feeling tired, make sure to get your thyroid checked. That is

the culprit for alot of women, including myself.

Re: protein

 

Certainly, I am no scientist, but it just occurs to me that perhaps the energy

rush one feels from juice is actually the reaction to the concentrated sugar you

are getting.

 

Forgive my skepticism, but I think this is a science developed to sell juicing

machines.

 

But, that's why they put pencils on erasers...

A suggestion for the person who is feeling tired. Before rushing off to the doctor why don't you spend a week and journal. Journal what you eat and the sleep you are getting each night.

 

 

If you are grabbing black coffee for breakfast, chips for lunch and other low nutrition stuff for dinner and only getting 5 hours sleep its no surprise if you feel tired.

Compare what you eat to the food guide... Make sure you are eating properly. Make some changes if you aren't. Get proper sleep.

 

If you are doing everything right then go to the doctor and get tested.

On Behalf Of Christina Watt

there are plenty of ways to get protein and great sources on vegan sites as

well. A good cookbook to start with is Vegan with a Vengeance. It has some

great tofu recipes in there as well as using TVP (texturized Vegetable

Protein) in chilis and spaghetti sauces.

Nuts are a good source of protein and if you are still up for fish and/or

chicken you can cut back on the reds first.

So just check the protein content..there is some in most foods..soy,

oatmeal, peanut butter, broccoli, spinach, baked beans (if you like those

versus kidney or other beans), quinoa (I have a great quinoa recipe and it

is a complete protein)...whole grain bread, couscous, ..type in any food at

nutritiondata.com and all info will come up.

 

Good luck

I am getting ready to make the plunge to cut meat from my diet (starting

with beef & pork.) Besides beans, what do you eat for protein. I'm not

much of a bean-eater.

Congrats on the transition, hope it goes well for you. As for protein, if you don't like beans, why not try tofu (personally I rarely eat tofu), nuts, seitan, tempeh, or lentils? (I forget if lentils are concidered beans or legumes). A very small amount of lentils packs a LOT of protein.Hope I helped a little. I too, am a baby vegetarian of 2 weeks. I'm transitioning to vegan, but am having problems with cheese addiction. :)AshleySent from my BlackBerry® wireless device from U.S. CellularChristina Watt Sat, 10 Jan 2009 14:50:58 -0500 Protein I am getting ready to make the plunge to cut meat from my diet (starting with beef & pork.)

There's plenty of protein in all the foods you eat. If you lived on rice

and potatoes, you'd get plenty of protein. Most Americans get too much,

not too little. Here's a good page to start learning about this:

Hi ChristinaCongratulations on improving your diet and welcome to the list!You say you're not much of a bean-eater, but I hope you'll keep an open mind about beans! There are so many different varieties, and so many ways to cook them. They're very nutritious and cheap and can help you make very quick meals (eg if you've got a can of refried beans in the cupboard, plus some tortilla and salad vegetables, you can have a very healthy and delicious meal in minutes; or heat up a can of any kind of beans with whatever seasonings you like, and maybe some tomatoes, and serve over rice - easy!).I recommend you listen to the podcasts at www.compassionatecooks.com.

So if there is plenty of protein in fruits & veggies, than what (with

In my opinion, you are craving a taste you like and that you grew up

eating. Unless there's been some new research that I haven't heard,

it's never been proved scientifically that what we crave has anything

to do with nutritional deficiencies. People like to think " I'm

craving X so I must need Y " (meat-protein, cheese-calcium, etc.), but

I think it's just a justification for eating what they're craving. If

you get away from a food long enough, the cravings will diminish and

often even stop. I haven't craved a cheeseburger in over 20 years.

But I'm sure I craved them for a while until I got to the point where

I didn't.

I went off meat, after finding a Magot now meat free, I did find I had a headache for a week or so, now that is going, I feel a lot better,

[Guest guest]

Most of the protein is in vegetables. Many fruits are mostly sugars, but have very little protein. Green beans, spinach, broccoli, etc... green things have a good amount of protein, maybe other veggies, too. And, some grains have higher protein content than others. http://www.nutritiondata.com

 

lists the protein content of the foods. It even breaks it down to which amino acids you are getting if you want to make sure to combine foods to get all of the proteins. Quinoa and other grains, or what ever they really are if they are not technically grains, might have all of the amino acid protein components, therefore could be a complete protein that would not need beans and grains at the same meal to be complete. A 24 hour window is the said time to eat grains and beans for them to work together to form a comlete protein as with rice and beans. Soy may also be a complete protein. Protein rich meals can offer a sense of fullness for longer than eating less protein meals. Some people use lofat soymilk if they object to beans.

I concur with what Susan said. And I'd like to add that it's most likely the cheese that you're "craving." Several of the good doctors have written about how addictive cheese is. In particular Dr. Barnard's book Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings--And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally has a whole chapter in it explaining the opiates in cheese. He also addresses meat seduction in the following chapter. If you haven't already read that book, then perhaps you can check it out from the library or order it. I've mentioned all this to reassure you that your cravings of McDonald cheeseburgers isn't because you're lacking protein.

Yet I don't deny your cravings are real. The good news is that they can be overcome. MarthaSusan Voisin <susan Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 4:12:20 PMRe: Re: Protein

I get asked this question ALL the time ever since I became Vegan. I found a great website (www.whfoods.org) which is like an encyclopedia for food. As a matter of fact, I ended up buying the book because it's such a great resource!

 

anyways, I've picked out the protein table for you which details the best sources and have posted it below. However, you can find the same information at http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=nutrient & dbid=92#foodsources

 

Obviously you'll have to overlook the animal protein, but it's still interesting to read.....

 

Good luck!

Ugh.I stopped eating fast food for a year when I went on a diet. Mind you, this was looong before I became a vegetarian let alone vegan as I am today.I tried to eat some a year later, and it used to be my favorite food.

EW. EW. EW.Basically I think people eat the stuff because they're conditioned to like it, never knowing how unbelievably bad it tastes because that's what they're used to eating. Try changing your eating habits for a lengthy period of time and I can guarantee you will suddenly like all sorts of food that you didn't think you did before. Not only that, but your taste buds will change. Carrots taste sweet to me now because I so rarely eat sugar.

In short, the idea of eating at Micky D's made me want to hurl even before I went veggie. Now I want to super hurl at the thought.On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 8:58 PM, Serene <serene-lists wrote:

--- Hi All,

 

Just a note: I love to eat my beans and rice together everyday. I

like the taste of them together. I also add steamed veggies on the

side, and sometimes mixed in, like brussel sprouts, carrots, or

broccoli & califlower ect. Taste great & I don't use any salt,

sometimes a little parsley or other spices. Makes a great complete

meal!

I will be off the internet for a week starting tomorrow, but will

be back Monday 01/19/09. I will miss reading all the post and great

ideas!

Sincerely, Monna

Also on that page, in reference to another post about

addiction to cheese, you all may get a chuckle from

Dr. Barnard's presentation on the topic.

-Hi Erin,

I went to your link but not sure where to navigate to the top 10

sources(which I think would be interesting)

and Dr. Barnard's talk-

Is it right in front of me and I'm just not seeing it?-I have a

tendency to do that

LOL. Yeah, Dr. Barnard's is the first vid,

about halfway down. And, the Top 10 Sources

report is a freebie for newsletter rs.

If you don't get a popup dialog to sign up,

it's at the bottom of the page. Or here:

I was listening to a veggie podcast yesterday, and heard that if you eat beans/brocoli frequently enough, you will build up the bacteria (what is causing the gas) and not have these issues anymore. Or you could try a vegan version of Bean-o. You can by it online over at compasionate cooks.I feel like I'm selling some advertisment, ha.AshleySent from my BlackBerry® wireless device from U.S. Cellular"Tom Williams" Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:51:22 +0700Re: Protein Guys, I love beans but there seems to be a gas problem with me. Any suggestions-I am in a foriegn country.
