A Newcomer - Welcome, Atma ;)

[Guest guest]

Welcome, Atma - It's lovely to have you join us You've come to

the right place to get support for losing weight as a vegetarian -

we have wonderfully motivated members here who have great

tips, menu ideas and recipes.

 

This is a low-fat group (meaning both animal fat AND vegetable

fats and oils), as our homepage states, so recipes here

are very light indeed on what you call the 'heavy dairy' (good term).

Likewise the refined sugar - because refined sugar and slimming

don't make a very good fit.

 

In general, we recommend that those wishing to lose weight and

stay healthy (or of course maintain weight and stay healthy) avoid

refined foods altogether. This means using whole wheat or whole

grain flours, whole wheat or brown rice pasta, brown rice instead

of white, etc. - and avoiding processed foods as much as possible

(that's where the extra fats and sugars sneak in all too often).

 

So have a look at the Files on our Homepage and you will find lots

of good recipes - very tasty, very easy, and very slimming! Ask

for anything else you need, okay?

 

And good for you for doing yoga - it's a great way to keep the

body limber and the mind at rest, at the very least

 

Best, Pat (Group Co-Owner with Cindi)
