Lifestyle

[Guest guest]

Donna,

You are so right about Vegetarian/Vegan lifestyle. There are some isles

at the grocery store that are off limits. There are empty caloric sodas

and snack foods that have no food value. They should never be in your

cupboards. There are so many wonderful juices, and teas. Each day I

drink a large cup of vegetable juice, at least one cup of green tea, a

cup of fruit juice and at least 8 cups of water. I have a quart jar and

when I have filled twice and drank it, I know I have had my water for

the day. All that drinking leaves little room for food..LOl..If I feel

hungry I always have dried fruit and nuts for snacking. Lots of

chewing works for me. I am not a skinny Vegetarian but I am not

overweight. I eat one plate of green leafy veggies as a salad every

day. Usually leaf lettuce and baby spinach. For protein I eat nuts, soy

beans, all kinds of other beans. Sometimes I have pasta which I love

and rice. I think we should find the foods that we enjoy that are on

the *good for you list* I never ever eat at fast food restaurants and

only on special occasions at restauants and only if I know from

experince that they serve healthy Vegetarian meals.

I apologize for this lengthy mail.

Sending smiles and hugs your way
