For vegetarian newbies from a vegetable hater - Ginger

[Guest guest]

Don't worry about to much gas from those good healthy foods that sometime cause

that side effect. It is not worth loosing the health benefits of those good

nutrition rich foods, like beans, things like broccoli, cabbage, brussel

sprouts, rutabaga's, some fruits. etc.......... Take a charcoal tablet or

Gas-X or Beano to quickly get rid of it. They even have those Gas-X strips

that melt on your tongue now, so you can take it anywhere.

 

Read this and you feel lots better.

(don't miss the links on this site that give you even more info on gas)

and this one.

I'm glad that you are retrying many new foods. Often times the more we eat

them, the more we enjoy them. I used to dislike Asparagus, until I tasted it

in some salad and didn't realize it was in it and it was great from then on.

Also with Brussel Sprouts, I didn't care for them at all, but knew how really

good they are for us and so I just kept eating them prepared different ways and

no I love them...

Don't give up on foods that are good for you. You have to keep trying them

prepared different ways.

 

Well I'm off to hit the hay and hopefully get some good sleep. One of my

daughters has a big sewing project she wants us to work togehter on and my brain

needs to be clear and my body full of energy to do this. I don't sew often and

it is alway a challange to get in the right set of mind to tackle it. LOL

Especially when blind zippers and button hole making is involved. Pray for a

clear mind, that we finish it with no problems.

Thanks,

Judy

Re: For vegetarian newbies from a vegetable hater

 

 

Thank you SO much for your message! I am a picky eater, too. It is nice to

know I am not

the only one. I'm iffy on many vegetables but I'm learning to eat a few new

things. I have

to be careful not to eat too much bean and possibly soy because of gas issues.

Still, we

can find things to eat and be successful vegetarians. :-)

everything in the cabbage family except kale. I hate olives, cucumbers,

eggplant,

mushrooms, rice, and all Asian food. While I don't hate any fruits, the only

fruits I love are

strawberries, apples, bananas and raisins, and I rarely eat any others. I

share this because

most likely you are not this extreme, but if I can succeed at being vegetarian

for a year

and a half, anyone can.
