Guest guest Posted January 15, 2002 Report Share Posted January 15, 2002 Hi, I have been planning on writing but have been so very busy in addition to suffering from ongoing neck, back and feet pain. My daughter and I have just eliminated pork and beef from our diets as of 1/1/02. I hope to be meat free by the end of the year. I just don't think it will work if I try to go cold turkey. It will be quite a challenge for me because I have hypertension, a heart condition and an allergy to msg. Trying to eliminate or greatly reduce sodium, fat, and msg from my diet leaves a lot of work to be done. When I visit the health food aisles, I find that a lot of the vegetarian items are high in sodium. I guess this is to enhance the flavor. I will probably have to make everything from scratch, which I do a lot of anyway. I love trying new recipes. I have some vegetarian cookbooks, but the recipes call for "so many" ingredients that one could go broke LOL. I will probably be asking for a lot of assistance from the group until I get the swing of this. Just the idea of no "Chicken" which I love, is oh, nevermind. Is there anyway to do this and not loose the flavor. I can handle eliminating fish, beef and pork, but the chicken is the problem. It has such variety, fried, baked, barbecued, casseroles. I have never cared to eat fruit and salads, it's not that I don't like them, it's the preparation, availability, and cost. I am open to suggestions.
