Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hi folks! I'm a bit embarassed to be dropping in here, because I'm mostly a lurker. After taking my time and slowly getting to step seven doing it by the book, I was really listening to what my body was telling me, and it was asking for a lot less meat, and I've drifted towards lacto-vegetarian eating. My body feels a lot better this way. I'm no longer counting protein grams, but just listening. It's probably less than the amount I was eating before, but it feels right and sugar isn't calling to me at all, so I'll continue this way for now. My question is about my daughter. I don't think she's especially SS- -in fact, not much of a sweet eater at all, except when she feels peer pressure to do so. Nevertheless, I make sure she has at least 10-12 grams protein for breakfast, mainly whole grains, minimal added sugar. She recently decided to become a vegetarian for ethical reasons. She does like beans and nuts a lot, so I support her decision and think she'll be able to do it in a healthful way. But I'd really appreciate some tips and suggestions. Does she need to mix the grains and the beans in the same meal, or over the course of the day? Any lunch box suggestions? Any tips on flavoring plain yogurt for her? Any bean dip recipes (she doesn't like hummus)? Any emergency, grab from the refrigerator meals or snacks that I can have handy? I know she shouldn't have too much soy, but is Quorn okay? Any other meat substitutes? Thanks so much for any advice you can give! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
