Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi everyone: Have been vegetarian and vegan in the past. Right now am including dairy & eggs, poultry and fish. Am interested in vegetarian protein replacements for above, that agree with me. Looking forward to learning from everyone. Rae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi Rae, welcome to the list! Have you poked around our files section, yet? There is a great list of protein sources. I've been experimenting with tempeh recently. I'm not too sure about the flavor yet, but I love the texture. I made these reuben sandwhiches that JoEllen suggested with whole wheat bread, tempeh, swiss cheese, saurkraut, tomato and mayo and then toasted them in my George Foreman grille, that was a nice change of pace and a nice amount of protein.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi Rae! I am new to this group too! We can learn together! I love cottage cheese, you can make it savory (hot sauce) or sweet (fruit) and Tempeh is good too! I am currently eating dairy, eggs, poultry and fish too! I think the poultry is going to be the first to go though - just not agreeing with me anymore. Blessings, JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 JJ I never thought of adding hot sauce to cottage cheese, hmm, add in some chopped veggies and whole grained toast and that might be a nice meal!

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi Rae, I've been using brown rice protein, along with beans and soy for my protein. The rice protein (you can also find soy protein) is somewhat, but not totally flavorless , but it's bearable in oatmeal and shakes. I too would love to wean off poultry, but it IS difficult. I eat canned beans and I guess my stomach has adjusted, LOL, so no issues there. I have heard if you cook and eat your own beans, soaking them longer before you cook them helps that gassiness they can cause. , " raebarclay " <raebarclay wrote: > > Hi: > New to this group. > Would like to start weaning myself off poultry & fish. > Have been a vegetarian for a long time, vegan shorter while, prior to a > couple of years ago. > Bit concerned re protein substitutes - such as soy and beans.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Welcome, Rae! Nice to have you here. Can you remind me what step you're on? I'm not sure if I know <smile>. I think your " weaning " approach is a good idea. Baby steps are so much kinder to our bodies than quick, dramatic changes (ask me how I know, LOL!).
