Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi, everyone. My name is Lisa, but I go by Lis on the forum and lists, because that is what my friends call me. I joined this list some time ago, though I am not a vegetarian. I am starting to become interested in making some of my meals vegetarian, with the eventual goal of one meatless meal per day (other than breakfast, which is already). I have read the files, which are very helpful. I have also read several past posts, which have already taught me a lot and given me some really good ideas. I don't do that well with dairy, and want to avoid large amounts of soy. So I will probably try to figure out some entrees using beans, lentils and maybe cottage cheese. I am apprehensive, as I love just being able to make sure I have about a quarter-pound of meat in every meal (and protein powder at breakfast). Starting to experiment with meat-free meals makes me nervous about blood-sugar crashes. But, so be it. I am curious to learn more about my body and more about vegetarian dishes. Bob, I would politely resist ever going in one of those places, trying to offer other suggestions (air-conditioned Starbucks for decaf iced coffee?). But if I did end up in an ice cream shop, I would probably order a bottled water and that's it! My husband gets instant headaches if he eats sugar, so he almost completely avoids it. My colleagues and friends all know I " eat weird " , so they would never expect me to get ice cream with them. That's my story. I look forward to learning more about vegetarianism as well as getting to know you all better :-) Lis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hi Lis, I feel the same way you do about wanting to eat one vegetarian meal per day. And I can't have dairy either. So far my favorite veggie meal is a can of beans heated up in some vegetable broth with some veggies tossed in and some brown rice. My friends, family and the people I work with all say I "eat weird" too.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Lis, Ditto! I wish we could go back really soon. Also, I saw you just responded to Bob about your journal. Am I remembering right that you have a really great journal that you created yourself? If so, I can see how you are having fun with it.
