Welcome to the list, John ;=)

[Guest guest]

Hello, John, and welcome to Vegetarian Slimming ;=)

 

We hope you enjoy this list - there are lots of great people on it, although it

is

true that it has been rather quiet lately. Have a look at our Files section -

some

nice recipes there and even a few Indian recipes ;=) Also, have a look at the

Links and also cast your vote in the Polls. Well, that should keep you busy for

a while.

 

As for wanting to keepthe weight down to a dull roar (my expression, not

yours, of course! *lol*), we are all trying to do that - and many of us

succeeding admirably. For myself, having being a vegetarian some twenty-

plus years, I have found that now and then I rather 'forget' that just being a

vegetarian doesn't automatically keep me thin - especially if I eat out a lot in

any one week or so. The difference, I think, is the fat/oil. Because when I eat

out I generally eat the same sorts of food I like to eat at home, but most

restaurants aren't as careful of the amount of oil or ghee they put into their

recipes. Here on Vegetarian Slimming we try to encourage low fat (not No

Fat) eating (some fat being, as you know, essential to health) and of course,

sigggghhhhh, exercise ;=) Most of the recipes you will find in the Files are

either low fat or can easily be adapted to a low fat diet. Me? I just eat less

of

everything!

 

Again, welcome to the list. I'll look forward to exchanging ideas with you.

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)
