Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Everyone, I'm Barbara, and I'm from Connecticut. I've just recently gotten back on a vegetarian diet after taking a year back into meat eating, and finding my joints and muscles extremely unhappy about that choice! The acid buildup from digesting meat had me in constant pain. I had been a vegetarian before that for about two and a half years though, so I know what I'm doing this time around, and that for me, going vegan was too far for my hypoglycemia (I was exhausted all the time!), but the diet did heal a bleeding ulcer and iron deficiency anemia that had motivated me to make the change initially. This time, I'll stick to being ovo-lacto vegetarian, so I can be sure to get enough protein to keep the low blood sugar at bay. Though I do eat less dairy and more soya. Here's a recipe for some Spinach and Sausage Quesadillas I concocted recently. I love them! 1 multi-grain or whole wheat tortilla 1 Morning Star Farms soya breakfast sausage Frozen chopped spinach Low-fat Mexican cheese or cheddar cheese (soya works too!) Sprinkle of Chipotle Chili powder, to taste Salsa for topping, if desired Heat non-stick skillet with 1 tsp. olive oil. Microwave the sausage for 30 seconds, and crumble on one side of the tortilla. Sprinkle on some cheese, and then add a layer of frozen chopped spinach and a sprinkle of Chipotle. Top with another layer of cheese. Fold the other side of the tortilla over the top, and fry at medium heat until the tortilla is browned, then turn and do the other side. I like the multi-grain tortillas because they're chewy, but whole wheat works well too. You can also add thinly sliced onions, pine nuts, or some black beans, but it's hard to put too much at once, as they get too fat to handle really fast! You can also top with salsa, but I'm allergic to tomatoes! I've only been for about a year, and I miss them! I just have mine with a serving of steamed broccoli or a salad on the side. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Welcome Barbara! So pleased you are coming back to a vegetarian diet - I'm sure you'll feel better for it. (And of course there are other wonderful, kind, humane benefits from it too ) AND before I forget: Thank you for the recipe!!! I have put it in our Files!!!! > going vegan was too > far for my hypoglycemia (I was > exhausted all the time!) Well, I found that a good vegan diet actually solved my lifelong problems with hypoglycemia - but there you are: Everyone is different! You will do what's right for you - of course you must - and that's fine with us. After all, this is a vegetarian group, founded that way simply because everyone IS different and welcomes chat about food (and other matters, of course) and recipes that include all kinds of vegetarians: ovo, ovo-lacto, lacto, vegan, raw vegetarians, raw vegans, fruitarians, etc etc. We have everyone LOL (But no talk/recipes about animal flesh here, I assure you.) We'll be most interested to hear how you're coming along with your newly regained veggie eating regime. This isn't a health group, of course, but many members are here for reasons of health and would be interested They might indeed have suggestions for you too! Enjoy the group - Files have recipes with a vengeance, and there's lots of find in the Links section too! Write in often!

I'm doing great today, both with food and exercise! I had an " Egg McMuffin " (homemade with a 100% whole wheat English muffin, egg, soya cheese, and soya sausage, and today added sauteed onions and garlic) for breakfast, and a huge salad plate for lunch, like a salad bar, with things around the green salad like taboule and pickled beets and feta cheese stuffed olives and stuffed grape leaves. In between the meals, I went to Curves for a workout, and then took Shaman for a mile and a half walk. Two weeks ago, I couldn't have done that! I was so sore from the acid in my muscles, and my joints were so stiff. So, I'm getting back on track quickly. I've been doing self-Reiki too, getting back to that as well. And this might seem silly, but I bought an Apatite ring, because I liked the pun on appetite, and politely asked the ring stone to help me with my appetite! I think it is! And it's a lovely aqua color which I love anyway! I don't know why I fell away from the healthy stuff for awhile, but I guess it's just the way we work sometimes when we're trying to develop new life habits. We have to fight off that resistance to change. Sometimes, pain kicks us in the behind and gets us going again! So, I guess it's a blessing in disguise. Welcome Barbara!

His job is keeping me healthy, but I've been horrid about not allowing him to do it fully of late, so have to change that. Curves are franchised, so yes, everywhere. The owner at mine is divorced, and started it after her divorce. Great way to make a living, I think. She's as fit as can be. I always have taken that loner attitude too, but lately, could not get myself MOVING, and was developing symptoms of Fibromyalgia, and very frightened because there was so much pain just walking or climbing stairs. I just suddenly felt a need to be around people, and allowing someone else to lend a little support for a change. I'm surprised how much I like their program. The way it's designed, the time goes really fast, and it seems so easy, but later on you feel the muscles and know you really did work out. And there is so much positive energy there, and it's friendly. I do other things too. When I got home from Curves yesterday, I walked a mile and a half. Today, I'll probably do ecstatic dance for my exercise, and maybe another walk. I can only do Curves three times a week until my muscles get used to it, but I can do other things the days between. I want to get back to taking long hikes like I was doing until a couple of years ago. I love to hike, especially at one place that has both woods and ocean beaches. <<<About the ring: Lovely idea to buy yourself a present as a reward for getting back on track!

Love and hugs, Pat>>> Oh, good, I will love hearing what you ate. Enjoy!!! Later, I will try to reconstruct what I put in the muffin I just had for breakfast and send it... it is high protein, as I used 1/3 soya flour and the rest was Hodgson Mills Oat Bran Blend Flour, which is all oats and whole wheat with oat bran added. But I adapted it from a regular white flour banana muffin recipe, and changed *everything*. But they came out delicious, and light, and all I needed with it was a bowl of mixed fruit. They have lots of ginger and fruit and nuts in them. Love & Light, Barbara BarbaraJean1732 ..-=*=-..-=*=-..-=*=-..-=*=-..-=*=-..-=*=-..-=*=-..-=*=-..-=*=-..-=*=-. No aspect of Grandmother is neutral.

My younger beagle thinks her task in life is reminding us when it is time for us to go in the kitchen and prepare a meal - of course, she usually gets something out of it too LOL but even when she doesn't - at least half the time - she contentedly goes back to lie down once she knows things are cooking. Beagles would make excellent chefs, I'm sure, if they only were taller and had opposable thumbs! > I do other things too. When I got > home from Curves yesterday, I > walked a mile and a half. Today, I'll > probably do ecstatic dance for my exercise, > and maybe another walk. Good for you!!!! Oh yes, walking is a good exercise too - especially for those of us who are limited in the kinds of exercise we can manage. My dh and I walk several miles each day (well, not at 20 below or in a snowstorm, but most of the time!) - and I also do some modified yoga and follow a couple of exercise videos I like. It all helps. > Oh, good, I will love hearing what you ate. > Enjoy!!! Thanks, but not sure what's going to happen about that. something has occurred that may delay it a bit. We may squeeze time in for a quick meal at an asian veg restaurant not far from here - not quite wine and roses, but it's something! And I've seen your muffin recipe - nice work!!!! I'll be putting it in the Files asap - thanks for that!

Dogs are so funny in the way they want things to be habitual, and they get their own ideas of when it's the right " time " to do something. They want a routine, I think, and don't quite get that sometimes humans want spontaneity instead. Shaman cracked me up yesterday, because he obviously enjoyed the walk the day before. He lead me into the living room... he has this way of demanding I follow him... and *pointed* at my walking shoes with his nose! Like a retriever points at ducks for a hunter. I laughed so hard, but I was all achy, and we're having an arctic blast here, so told him " not now, Baby. " He looked really sad. I do have to be sensible and increase slowly though, else pain will knock me out! It is wonderful there is such a variety of ways to exercise, and it's sure easier when you pick ways you love! It's nice to switch to different things sometimes too, for variety. I got into the ecstatic dance after reading Gabrielle Roth's book, _Sweat Your Prayers_. I got a set of her videos too. It's fun, and I can also just do it to my own music choices, as it's really just free-form dance. Something I can do home inside out of the cold. And Shaman likes it! I noticed a list on the bottom of your post called vegetarianslimming. Is it good? Are there tips and recipes for weight loss? I dropped another pound this morning! That felt good, as it had been several days feeling stuck. Well, going to scoot out for awhile. I'm done with my Light Box, and need breakfast!

Unlike your Shaman, our dogs sleep through our exercise routines, but the cat gets into it bigtime. He does wonderful yoga stretches too - quite an inspiration!

I dropped another pound > this morning! Well, I think it's good - but I am co-owner of the group and started with it the day after it was inaugurated by a lovely English lady back in January 2003. (She, sadly, has left the group and now we have the lovely Cindi as co-owner - plus two very nice moderators.) It's a low-fat group and we are keen to encourage non-processed and healthy foods as much as possible. We chat about all aspects of health and slimming and do the recipe thing too - you might enjoy it. Why not come along? You can always leave (over my dead body, you understand, but I have to say that!) if you hate it Congrats on the weight loss - every little bit helps and it's going in the right direction!
