Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hello, I've just started reading the posts and this looks like a great group! I'm just beginning the SARP program, after several years of 'thinking about it'. I'm still working Steps 1 and 2, and trying to eat 20+g of protein at each meal. This is MUCH more protein than I'm used to eating, and I'm doing okay for breakfast and lunch, but dinner is usually... pasta! Anyhow, I'm a semi-vegetarian -- I'll eat chicken and turkey as long as it's free-range, and fish. I usually have a shake for breakfast and that seems to work well. I'll look forward to learning about more veggie food options from this list. Lentils and beans tend to work havoc on my digestion -- any suggestions?? Thanks for this resource. It's great to be able to ask questions, and it's really inspiring to hear the success stories! Cheers, Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi Cindy. Welcome! I also tend to have problems with beans, if I eat them too often. If I cook them myself, I have fewer problems. I use the method where you put them in water, bring it to a boil, cover and turn the burner off, then soak the beans for a few hours. Then drain well, add more water and cook. That method is supposed to reduce gas. You can also put a piece of kombu (a dried seaweed that you can find at places like Whole Foods) in the cooking water. Have you tried Beano or digestive enzymes? Allison >Cindy <hey_jonesy >Aug 17, 2006 5:24 PM > > Hello from a Newbie > >Hello, I've just started reading the posts and this looks like a great >group!
