Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi Janey ;=) Nice to have you join us! Please feel free to post whenever you like, won't you? We're an informal lot here *lol* You might want to take a look at the recipes in the Files section - also the Links and Polls. Meanwhile, it'd be great if you could fill out the questionnaire when you have a moment so that we'll feel we know you a little bit better - saves a lotta time, right? Well, there are a whole lot of us on this list eager to lose a little weight - or a lot of it. At 10.3 stone, you shouldn't have too hard a time losing what you need to in order to have all the weight in the right places. That and a little - wait for it! - exercise *lol* Anyway, let us know how you're doing and just join in with the chat, okay?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hi Mandie....we're glad to have you aboard! We have tons of recipes in the " files " section. I've tried quite a few with great success (of course putting my own spin on the recipes...peppers, peppers, garlic, oh and more peppers). Some of us here really enjoy cooking. So, if you ever have any questions or have a recipe request, just let us know! Are there any special veg dishes that you enjoy?

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Jennifer, there must be a fairly large veg*n community in Portland. In the brand new VegNews that just came out (March/April 2004) there is a whole article on veg*n shopping, restauants and grocery stores. Check it out at vegweb.com They say there is even a vegan grocery store named Food Fight! Pretty cool. --Tracy > Hi there! My name is Jennifer and I'm new to the group.

A friend of mine (not a vegetarian) used to send her son to a day care that served only lacto vegetarian food because the owners were Indian and followed a lacto vegetarian diet themselves. That's not exactly vegan, but it's a lot closer than most day cares. If there is a South Asian community in your area, you may be able to find something similar by asking members how they or their vegetarian friends handle day care and diet issues. Another option, if you know any other vegetarian or vegan families with young children, might be to share the cost of a nanny. A nanny would hopefully respect your diet instructions more than a large center. (If not, it's clearly time for a new nanny.) ---- Patricia Bullington-McGuire <patricia The brilliant Cerebron, attacking the problem analytically, discovered three distinct kinds of dragon: the mythical, the chimerical, and the purely hypothetical.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Hi Kevin, Congrats on choosing the raw foods lifestyle. It's hard at first, but after a few months, it's easy to stick with. Depending on where you live, you might be able to find raw takeout foods in local stores. If you live in certain places, you might even have a raw restaurant to go to. I'm trying to get someone to open one here in Sarasota, FL. I used to live in Manhattan where there are at least five, plus takeout, and there is at least one more in Brooklyn. You might like to visit my online magazine, www.rawfoodsnewsmagazine.com Rawsome regards, Judy Judy Pokras editor/founder/designer Raw Foods News http://www.rawfoodsnewsmagazine.com An online newsmagazine founded in March 2001 as rawfoodsnews.com featuring authoritative info, breaking news, and fun interactive features on the raw vegan lifestyle. * Rated Number 1 in the Webseed Directory's most interesting sites list, based on how many articles a person looks at in any one visit. * Recommended by Writer's Digest, EnergyTimes, The Vegan Guide to NYC, the Japanese magazine Engine, breathing.com, and the national radio program Carolyn Craft's Inner Wisdom.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Hey Kevin: Started rawing in August, and mostly, going relatively easily. Some days are a challenge depending upon who I'm with and what doing, eg. at a business luncheon, it can be a challenge depending upon the restaurant they choose (esp. here in TX), or some times there's just that craving that willpower doesn't quite seem to overcome, though most days manage quite well. Taking lunch to the office, when don't have a business lunch, really helps me to support this choice. And, what saw the other day on this post, where person recommended to keep reading about why making this choice, until it's instilled as a practice, has been helpful to me as well, leading to few slips. Good for you that you're making this conscious choice to support your health, and likely that of your children too. Nice side benefit is feeling better and some weight loss [gone down about 15 lb.s already since Aug., with exercise too].

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hi Kevin, I'm 41 and was diagnosed a few years ago with hypoglycemia. The dr. put me on a high protein, higher fat diet as well. It helped for a while but not for the long run. I've been eating raw for a while now and feel much better. I can eat all the fruit I want and not have episodes now! I don't write here much, I am on the road traveling a lot, but I do check emails if you ever want to chat about the hypo journey on raw.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Le, Thanks so much for responding! I have been very surprised by the responses so far. It's been wonderful to find that people are out there and interested in sharing their experiences. You are the only one to respond to the hypoglycemia, though, which I find heart warming. When I was diagnosed I had no clue how serious the situation was. Nor did I comprehend how difficult it can be to deal with. I look forward to getting to know you and many others as I stumble through this process! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Julie - Morningstar has a variety of " fake meats " and, perhaps it is cuz they are rather full of preservatives, but my meat eating friends prefer these to the more healthy things. We have lots of success with their chicken nuggets, chick patties, sausage and riblets. I also really like the stuff that a company called Veat makes, though I am down to only two stores I can find them at now. They do fake chicken products that have a good texture and flavor & cook nicely in " chicken " type recipes...I use their nuggets for sweet and sour & kabobs, then they've a smaller product that I use in place of sort of shredded chicken for pastas and rice and fajitas. I also like boca burger & morningstar's crumbles...I sometimes add them to spagetti sauce - more often (last night even) I use them to make sloppy joes - and I use them for hash, too. You may however, that you are better off not serving the fake stuff & sticking to good veggie, beans, etc. recipes. Some people are really put of by the artificial fake flavors & textures. Though, the products are getting better now. Good luck, m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hello Nelleke Welcome to the group. Join in with any chat, ask questions, and make yourself at home. I have one point to argue though - you can't possibly have the best guy in the world - I have! :-) Jo Hi, my name is Nelleke, I am new here and thought I'd introduce myself quickly. Well, quickly ;-) I am working on my Master thesis, so I love things to do that are *sooo* (not) important, so I won't have to work at it. Quickly still though, because if my hubbie love finds out I'm back at doing nothing.. So that's interesting introduction so far - let's make it a bit more formal. Like I said, my name is Nelleke - it's a Dutch name, which is also where I'm from. I study law, almost done (see above) and I will be moving to Italy in September, also for study. I've studied in Berkeley, USA as well, a few years back. Oh and actually, thís time WE are going to Venice, not just me ;-) I am 25 years old, married to the absolute best guy in the world, who has actually been vegan for the past three (four? we're not sure anymore) years. Before that he was vegetarian, and he's been of the meat-eating path for some 15 years. I've only been eating vegetarian for the past few years. Living in California was a blast though - mjum on veggie foods there! We hope things'll be ok in Venice, but apparently there is a whole island (!) dedicated to 'green' gardening - hardly anyone living there, just crops and a market. So that sounds good. I am actually not too sure whether I will go vegan. This is partly because of cheese (ever tried Dutch cheese - well hell you should)(oh wait, this is vegan alley, well there you go - sorry guys ;-) BTW-hubbie is not into cheese at all, so I always tell him that's why it was sóó easy for him to go vegan). Of course that's not the whole case, because I know (yes I knóów) that if you want, then you can, then you just do it. I guess we should blame the mentality too, but as we say here: he does the animal rights, I work on human rights. Now that's me, I am just always looking for more info, so decided to join you guys and hope you'll teach me some valuables. Whenever we have anything here, we'll let you know. And if you know anything about veganism and Italy of veganism and Venice (in particular) we are more than happy to hear of it! ciao!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Nelleke, I was in Venice last year great place, if you want you can eat Vegan almost anywhere in Italy, most places have the roasted veggies they serve with meals just ask for extra bread and their veggies as a main course. I must admit my wife is from Verona sooooo it was easy she did all the ordering =o] but saying all that. when on the Auto Strade there is a restaurant called "ciao" they sell Vegan & vegetarian meals too. if all else fails just go to the veggie markets and stock up Ciao Craig Hello!Hi, my name is Nelleke, I am new here and thought I'd introduce myselfquickly.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hi Sarah, and welcome! That vegpledge thing sounded great, but I filled out all the info and then was taken to a screen that said, " internal error, please contact the webmaster at... " ...Did anybody else get this message or just me? What's a creativity coach? sounds like FUN to me. :>) I'm a vegetarian and trying to go vegan...working on it, I guess is more accurate...along with my husband. My daughter wants to be totally vegetarian and really go vegan as well, but she lives with people while she's going to college who are not simpatico in either path, so...I just try to keep encouraging her to do what she can, when she can and when she gets out on her own, she can go full fledge veg. Meanwhile, my husband and I are making a 'trickle down' difference at our church. We've only been there a month, but hey, we're doin' great. :>) There's one other vegetarian there but he has been a complainer that 'there's nothing much to eat.' We've disabused him of that notion--and fast! We've got one couple who is interested and tried eating no meat for a week, and were pleasantly surprised with how good everything tasted. And our new minister and his family are thinking of going vegetarian; his wife is leaning more and more toward that route, and since they found out we're vegetarians, that has really fueled the fire. I'm a SAH, love to cook & bake, also quilting, rubberstamping, cardmaking and playing the piano and reading. And petting my fur children, Bluebonnet and Dixie. Glad to meet you!
