WHAT TO EAT IF YOU ARE VEGAN OR OVO-LACTO VEGETARIAN???

[Guest guest]

Here are, below, 2 good links that you might want to visit and even print out

and stick to

your refrigerator. But first a tiny explanation:

 

Every now and then we get asked (by newbies to the vegetarian or vegan

lifestyle) about

what people should be eating - and of course we'd say 'vegetarian diet, well

balanced,

avoiding as many of the refined and processed foods as possible ' blah blah

blah. (And on

*this* list we also suggest, for slimming and health, low fat and little if any

sugar.) Each

individual has her or his own needs, depending on weight, medical problems if

any,

height, activity level, lifestyle etc. and it is therefore difficult to

generalize.

 

These two links take you to Food Pyramids plus info on your chosen way of

eating/diet.

There are others, but I kinda like these and hey this is my email, right?

There are also other excellent sources of information (look in our Links under

Health and

Nutrition or whatever that folder is called ;-) for some good info, also in the

Vegetarian

Organizations folders.)

 

If you don't find what you need there, then of course ask, but these are good

starting

points!

 

Good luck!
