Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Hi /m Please check out Gabriel Cousens' " Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine " Besides having very sound information, it has recipes specifically created for low glycemic eating. It is the best book I have found yet in regards to eating raw and doing so for YOUR body. It helps you understand how foods affect the body and why it is important for everyone to start out on a low glycemic diet. There are three different phases which include recipes for each phase. Also, the higher glycemic recipes can be altered for low glycemic eating. He offers a glycemic index for fruits and vegetables too. I hop this helps. peace & joy, *Brigitte On Saturday, October 16, 2004, at 07:46 AM, rawfood wrote: > Message: 5 > Fri, 15 Oct 2004 15:46:22 -0700 (PDT) > michele bustos <ixim_mbustos > Re: New Here > > > I'm 90% raw and I can't do fruit.

I've been vagan since last July pretty much on my own. Looking for place to chat with other vegans for info./issues and how they do things and why. Thought this may be a good place to try. I'm sorta dismayed though just from the last couple digests seeing political type comments. I'm pretty far right leaning (which doesn't seem to be too popular for vegans), but on animals and the enviroment I'm equally far left. I know the board is open to everything, not just vegan, but it would be nice to get away from various things and just talk vegan/animal protection/enviroment type stuff.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hi Zodanga We tend to chat about anything and everything on here! But there are other vegan groups on - just have a little search through their directory. Personally, I've given up with concepts of left and right wing.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hi and WELCOME to the group! Hmmm, I don't know of any other Vegan groups that don't get into political issues at all, but maybe not quite like us. I can say one thing about this group tho. We do disagree, we do state our minds and opinions heavily, and sometimes we go over and under board. But in the end, we always (ok almost always) respect each others view. We may " argue " our points back and forth but after all is said and done, even if Peter, Jo or Fraggle have put their foot down if a conversation carried to far, we can all still go back to discussing other things. It really is amazing how people do not hold grudges here. They really are very open to others speaking their beliefs. With that said, I will step off my soapbox, stop complimenting others (they're not quite use to it from me) and again say WELCOME! I do hope you'll stay. A discussion is never any good if all sides aren't given or if everyone agrees. It's a great way to learn from one another!

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hi Linda. Warm welcome to the group. You are going to love it here and get so many ideas for recipes you'll never be able to try them all. I know that's how it is with me... so many great recipes in my to-try-soon files from all the members here that share. If you have any questions, please ask away. People here are nice and always helpful.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Natasha, Welcome to the group! I had allergies all my life, terrible in the summer and fall when I lived in NJ and Michigan, and a little better here in Puerto Rico, but even here often had to take benadryl just to be able to sleep. For Christmas 2006, my mom gave me the book The China Study, and after reading it I gave up milk and cheese (I used to eat a lot). Since then, I have been totally allergy free, and haven't used benadryl once to sleep!!!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Brian, Yes, isn't that book great? I was also an ovo lacto vegetarian (for 30 years) and I ate a lot of dairy. But I gave it up in January and my diabetes (and weight) are definitely improving. I'm really amazed at how powerfully healing the vegan diet can be. (And if you had told me last year that I would become vegan I would have denied it hotly.) Now I'm trying to wean my youngest off dairy. She's 12 and still has lots of ear problems and I know those would be so much better if she gave up milk and cheese.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Bryan, Oh if you knew the list of things to which i'm allergic... Even my allergist kind of freaked out. I'm on allergy shots, well sort of as they keep giving me bronchitis. But the amount of foods and chemicals and herbs and spices I'm allergic to leave me a bit freaked out at eating anything that I don't know 100 percent what it's been through and where it's been. My goal is to stay out of the hospital by eliminating my allergens from my diet. Only time will tell for this though. Natasha Dilbert's Words of Wisdom: Am I getting smart with you?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi Natasha, Ok, you need a lot of wisdom to figure this out. You probably need to go as natural, organic and unprocessed as possible. Fresh squeezed vegetable and fruit juices, as long as you aren't allergic to the ingredients, would probably be very good and healing for you. You should probably try to stay away from medications as much as possible too. I'm reading a great book right now about a medical school student's journey to her role now as a natural healer and its pretty eye opening!!!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Welcome Kristy, I just wanted to say, I stopped eating meat for digestive reasons, but I am so pleased to report that I am losing weight at a very steady pace!!!! I am 5'5 " and weigh 253, so I have PLENTY to lose. I've only been w/out meat for about 4 weeks. At first I was worried that it was muscle that I was losing, but I reminded myself that I walk daily and go to cruves 3x a week, plus a very active mom who works full time outside of the home, and I'm a homeowner, so I do plenty of shoveling, wood lugging etc. If my BF% doesn't start to increase, I will stop worrying.

Marilyn Daub mcdaub Vanceburg, KY My Cats Knead Me!! - Karen Ogle Saturday, June 09, 2007 5:29 PM New Here Hi. I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Karen and I'm 43 years old. I decided to become a vegetarian a few weeks ago. I've been eating pretty much the same things and need to learn some new things to eat. I live in Tennessee and have 3 children. Two are grown and one is almost grown. My husband and my son, who live with me are supportive but don't eat only vegetarian themselves. I am a type 2 diabetic so that is another challenge to my diet. My blood sugar is under good control but I am seriously overweight. I'm hoping this new lifestyle will help me to become healthier. I guess that is about all. Thanks for letting me join. Blessings, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
