Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Thanks for replying to this Mosaic. It took me a while to find that post and the file on protein amounts (I get regular e-mails with everybody's posts and sometimes get mixed up using the group page instead!) I've worked that out now though - thank you! Kathleen's post seems to say what I was basing my thoughts on (from the normal guidelines) about using only dense proteins to add up your protein amount. It's very handy to have that list for reference. I think I'll be making one of my own too with the foods that I like to eat. I have a question though. We use dairy and eggs a lot, as well as some nuts, soy, " faux meats " and now the lentils. We figured that pulses were a decent dense protein food, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much protein there is in them. We have a lot of experimenting to do there with beans and peas, as we've not been extremely keen on them in the past, but are sure that they must all be quite different and that there must be so many different ways of using them that we're bound to find foods that we like. Plus our tastes are changing somewhat! Anyway, my question is about grains and yogurt /milk (at least the soy variety). I didn't think these could be included in the protein count, but are on this list, so I just wanted to check that. The grains I'd use as my brown anyway, but wondered especially about the yogurt. Somebody said they'd had it explained to them that if you can't hold it in your hand then it's not a dense protein, and yoghurt's a bit runny! I think it's just the soy yoghurt and soy milk that are mentioned, and they may be a bit different, I don't know! Any clarification? I need to try tofu too sometime. We really liked the idea of making tofu from homemade soymilk. I was worried about using too much soy though, especially with five children eating along with me (we normally eat the same thing), so wanted to get other options sorted first. I should see if we like it first I should think too (!), although maybe home-made tastes different as with most things. You said Cinzia was helping you out with that - is that with making it, using it, or both? Okay, information overload here, but one last thing. You asked what step I'm on. I'm about to move onto step 2 (just thinking about it for a while first! Everyone else are pretty steady on breakfast too, but I'll leave them there while I carry on. Saying that, we cut sugar out 6 months ago having increased the protein, and were already eating whole grains so just made sure it was all of the time. No, I know that's not how it should be done, but it was an emergency measure at the time and we're so glad we did. Now having some of our challenges lifted a little through doing that and other things I'm working on, we are more able to go steadily through the steps. So basically we already eat regular meals, on time, with snacks when we remember for me and the children (I'm breastfeeding our youngest) and with whole grain and protein amounts. We enjoy our meals, and can often see how we have gone off track or are going to and are growing quite a lot more intuitive as to listening to our bodies and understanding our needs. I hadn't liked the idea of journalling much before (couldn't cope with the mental requirements for it anyway before now), but it seems quite exciting in terms of helping me to see even more what things are affecting me and how, and working on understanding my body more. Having made those slight adjustments, and having such great benefit from them, we're not going back, but are now stepping more slowly through the steps in order. So I'll say I'm going on to step 2, but my meals are all program-friendly for later on! I'm waffling - shows me that I need to be in bed!

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hi Ceri, and welcome! Regarding " dense " proteins, on 28 October Kathleen posted an explanation on the community forum (accessible via this link, you might need to copy and paste into your browser address bar: http://www.radiantrecovery.com/cgi-bin/bbs-new/webbbs_config.pl? read=259416). When it's all said and done, whether or not the " less dense " proteins work for you will be up to you and your journal to sort out (it will be very useful to you as you go along...though it can take a while to make friends with it, LOL). I can use something like yogurt for a few additional grams of protein but it wouldn't work for me to use it as a substantial portion of my protein need. And it probably wouldn't have worked well for me even as a " topper upper " earlier in my program -- I've been on step 7 now for nearly a year. As to my " help " to Mosaic regarding tofu, I simply suggested a recipe and some ways to change the texture (by pressing to extract water and to make denser, or by freezing to change to a chewier texture). Yes, I've made some tofu myself but I prefer the type I can buy. I'm fortunate to be able to get very fresh (made the day before) organic, non-GMO tofu from a small local producer whom I've gotten to know from a farmer's market. The recipe I posted was for Thai-style red curry. It's message #1890 or you can simply search for " curry " and you'll find it within the thread of messages. You can also make it with tempeh (cultured soybean cake). Or with meats like chicken. I encourage you to try various peas/lentils....there are SO MANY! Some I don't like, some I do. I especially like them prepared with spices, and Indian recipes are wonderful for this. Mmmmmm, I'm getting hungry.... ) And the variety of beans (legumes) is really quite amazing. I hope you have access to many of them; I can get a few dozen varities here in the U.S. (some through mail-order). I recenly cooked some very fresh dried flageolet beans for the first time. I sauteed a little chopped leek, celery, shallot and some lemon thyme and added to the cooked, drained beans. Delicious! Let us know what you end up trying! cheers, Cinzia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Many thanks Cinzia, It's good to know you can change the tofu to your taste in those ways. I like your idea with the flageolet beans too - I may try that. I certainly plan on looking for and trying different beans and lentils with new and old recipes. Maybe with wheat as a base to start with and beans mixed in, or rice with different lentils. I'll get more adventurous too but want to search for recipes a bit and see what I like the sound of. Thanks for your help, I appreciate that.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Thanks Mosaic. I had read this article, and partly because of it feel that I still do want to use soy but not more than once a day and probably less than that for the children. It's a great article.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi Ceri and all. I havent written before, just been looking at emails. I have adrenal fatigue and most things at the moment are too much. I am on step 1, and been mostly vegetarian in the past, but too get the protein I am now eating fish. Please can you tell me where to look for Heather's list of protein in files. I have searched everywhere but I can't find it anywhere. Please let me know wtep by step. Sorry, but otherwise I won't be able to find it. Thanks again, Pat uk> Thanks for replying to this Mosaic.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Welcome Pat! ok I'll have a go. see the blue box on the left? Just under the turquoise bar labelled . Its got headings, Home, messages etc Click on the heading marked Files. then, 4th down, click on- List of vegetarian protein sources. and there is the list. Any other questions or finding stuff just let us know. Glad you're here. Hope you'll call back and tell us about your breakfast. How is it going? mosaic , patmatthews wrote: > > Hi Ceri and all. > > I havent written before, just been looking at emails. I have adrenal > fatigue and most things at the moment are too much.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hello Pat. I forgot about the fish - I do eat fish sometimes if I feel I need something more - the same amount of protein seems to do more for me both with fish and eggs. To get to the list of proteins, try this: - First go to the homepage (probably by going to , then looking through your list of " My Groups " on the left-hand side). - Once you're on the home page for the list, there is a pale blue box on the left of your screen with a list of places to go. Files is about the 4th option on that list. Click on it. - Now you get the list of files coming up. You can click on any of them to look at them. The list I found (assuming it's the right one) is entitled " List of Vegetarian Protein Sources " and is the 4th file in the list. I hope this is step-by-step enough. I always seem to waffle a bit however " simply " I try to explain things! Good luck with your step one, and hope you are feeling well.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi Ceri and Mosaic, Thanks for the info. I was able to find the Files lists. But I am confused. How do you get enough protein from vegetarian food? I couldn't eat that much. I would like to eat more veg foods, but now live mostly on fish. Breakfast is usually cottage cheese chives tomato on 3 rice cakes; tin of salmon mashed with little marg, chives, parsley, black pepper on 3 rice cakes; or pea protein powder with milk, water and now banana, blueberries, and kiwi fruit. Very pleased about the last one as I haven't been able to eat fruit for years. Maybe one day I will be able to eat bread again. Anyway thats all for now, thanks for help.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 hello Pat yes you are right - I do find it a challenge getting enough protein when choosing vegetarian meals! but its fun playing with it to get it right - I combine different proteins. Relying on beans is too much volume, so I'll add cheese topping for instance. Protein powder is a boon at breakfast. Thanksgiving so everyone will be busy today but hopefully you will find more answers when the holiday is over and calm descends! Meanwhile, are you getting enough breakfast protein do you think? Three rice cakes enough brown? and are youhappy with the 4 parts of breakfast? Glad your shake experiments are a success. mosaic , patmatthews wrote: > > Hi Ceri and Mosaic, > > Thanks for the info.
