I have no dietary restrictions. I'm here because low-fat vegan is one of my favorite ways to cook, and I think it's the healthiest choice for my family.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I don't have dietary restrictions but I am trying to keep my breast cancer from coming back and losing a lot of weight to also help offset medical problems. But sugar is not at all a part of my plan! So many of the recipes I see are not useful to me. Where I thought Vegan recipes would be perfect, I am finding I must sift carefully through them because of the sugars used. I don't use sugar at all. Any kind. Maybe I am more of a fanatic than I thought. But this fanatic has lost 32 pounds since March 19 and feeling better than ever. And I eat wonderful desserts without sugar. Try this. It is DELICIOUS! About a cup of left over wild rice. Add a dash of cinnamon, a dash or two of Stevia, a few chopped walnuts, and a cup of diced pineapple, along with 2 tablespoons of real pineapple juice and stir. Eat cold or warmed. No sugar needed. Other option, replace pineapple and juice with apple. Shelley H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I don't fit your presumption either, but no apology is necessary because it does help to point out a quandary that exists. The large diversity of needs here can make it difficult in dealing with recipes, adapting them, or even discussing certain foods without causing unintended stress. Just an observation, and I wish I had a solution:) , " Janet Coe Hammond " <janetcoe wrote: > > Serene and rs to Fatfree Vegans - > > Mea culpa > > Please accept my apology for speaking on behalf of the list; it was presumptuous.

Just an observation, and I wish I had a > solution:) I agree that an apology isn't necessary. I do feel that Susan has found a good solution, though -- the list has really clear guidelines about which foods and recipes are fitting here, and she's really gentle about putting those into action, including allowing for that whole " how can I defat this recipe " phenomenon.
