Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Molly, Hi, I'm new, too. I've been a vegan for 8 years and one book really, really helped me with the transition of becoming a vegan. It's called, Eat Right, Live Longer by Dr. Neal Barnard. I love that book. It talks all about the health benefits of the vegan diet, and also has recipes in the back--many of which I have tried and are very good. I love that book. Dr. Barnard is very knowledgeable. Good luck! Anita , " molly37862003 <molly37862003> " <molly37862003> wrote: > Hello everyone, > I'm Molly. I live in Indiana ,I'm 42, and married w/4 kids.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 HI Molly, One great book that helped my family was the McDougall Program: 12 days for dynamic health. It has each day layed out:breakfast, lunch and dinner, with shopping lists and the menu and recipe directions day by day so you don't have to do a lot of flipping around the book or note taking. There are lots of other recipes and ideas in the book too. We also have the Mcdougall plan for a healthy heart (its the same program as 12 but goes into details about the tests, surguries and medicines) I think McDougall is a heart specialist. Anyway I have also seen the book called the Mcdougall plan for weight loss. My husband wasn't obese, just a little overweight in the middle but now he is sleek. He says that he now feels in his prime when he was a very athletic 17 year old (he is 54 years old now) Had High blood pressure for years and then developed high colesteral and angina. The McDougall program saved my husband from a heart attack (he had high colesteral and blood pressure) and he was being sceduled for heart surgury and on betablockers, Lovastatin (cholestrol lowering drug). Basically McDougall just asks you to try it for 12 days (my husband did this last june and loves it so much the way it made him feel he wont stop plus he is freaked out by his tendency towards heart disease. I totally recommend trying this book just get it from your library it is full of vegan recipes and substitutions and I tell you very helpful just to get organized and make meal plans! and In a message dated 2/20/2003 5:48:35 PM Pacific Standard Time, writes: << Fri, 21 Feb 2003 00:32:55 -0000 " molly37862003 <molly37862003 " <molly37862003 newbie Hello everyone, I'm Molly.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Hi Mollie, Welcome. Here is a book that would be perfect for you: "Eat To Live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It's has total vegan and almost vegetarian options. Dr Fuhrman has had an outstading record of helping obese individuals reach their ideal weight and keep it off for good. It's a fairly newly published book but it would be an enormous help to you. You can read a review of the book here: http://www.vegsource.com/articles2/fuhrman_eat_review.htm Also do a search on Amazon for the book and read more reviews. This medical doctor helped me personally recover my health. Good Luck! Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 littlemousekc [kerrycoutts] 12 August 2003 10:11 newbie Hello! I'm new to this group - just signed up. I have to confess that I'm not actually vegan - well not yet anyway. I've benn veggie for the last eight years and am now considering taking the final step and giving up all animal products. I'm taking my time and looking into everything first - nutrition, hidden ingredients etc. I kind of plunged in to being veggie without thinking about those things and I really don't want to do that again. Its not about you . Animals are dying /stuck in veal crates etc because you are taking your time . Don't think about it ,do it --tomorrow My family are veggie, but not sure they will be entirely supportive of me going vegan - which is why I want to make sure that I'm going to be doing it in the healthiest way I can. My boyfriend is supportive but my mum is convinced that it is unhealthy (I mentioned it to her in passing at the weekend). Think my sister will just think I'm just being awkward! So any advice or support you guys could offer would be great. Let them think what they like It is about the animals dying You need to make the decision for you. You can't spend your life pleasing others ( Do they live their lives to suit you ? NO they are not considering veganism are they ?). You have to live with your conscience and must make your own mind up . Do you still live with your Mum . Does she buy/cook for you . You may have to wait till you leave home for the sake of harmony !! Angie (went vegan overnight from animal eating at age 18 Had read nothing -didn't even know the word vegan for 2 months . That was 37 years ago .You have to be determined to stick to it ,as you will get lots of stick from all sorts of people. I have had 4 vegan sons -now grown up . Got stick from midwives/doctors etc . Also have my elderly Mum living with me She has now been vegan for 4 years except when in hospital (due to old age ) ~~ info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remember that the above is only the opinion of the author, there may be another side to the story you have not heard. --------------------------- Was this message Off Topic?

It makes no sense at all to think that cutting something as intrinsically unhealthy as dairy, with it's load of hormones, bacteria and pus, from one's diet is somehow risky! Just goes to show how well the milk marketing board or whatever it's called these does has done its indoctrination job! Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone vegan and wanting to lose some of themselves is more than welcome. It's very easy going and very supportive and men are more than welcome because I don't think single-sex communities are ideal, personally. Anyway. good luck with the cycling - do you think it actually does help you to lose fat? I know it tones muscles and that, but at one time I used to walk for about 4 hours per day and I never lost an ounce. My leg shape improved where the muscles filled out, but I didn't get any thinner.

I can tell that my strength, stamina and general well-being are definitely improving as a result of 30 minutes on the bike each day. I can set the rseistance higher, cycle for longer, and see that my heart rate is lower than it was for the same amount of effort, so it's definitely having a positive effect. If I also manage to lose weight in the process then that's a bonus, byt my main goal is to live long enough to take care of my son until he's grown up and not have a heart attack or stroke in the mean time (sorry, that sounds morbid, but it's my primary motivation).

It's good that you have such a worthwhile reason to look after yourself; too many people just do what feels good with no thought for the consequences for others, or even themselves. The hard bit is hitting a happy medium between total hedonism and fanatical self-denial.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 I often say " it won't matter if I die now " because by kids are all over 15 I remember holding my first son and my first thought was (feeling panicky!) I mustn't die until he has grown up. It makes sense getting those feeling but it is something that would not occur if one did not have kids ,I presume . I expect all parents have felt this (I thought I was the only one !!!!until you mentioned it ) > bonus, but my main goal is to live long enough to take care of my son until he's grown up and not have a heart attack or stroke in the mean time (sorry, that sounds morbid, but it's my primary motivation).

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Barba, re: oil, I hav not used ANY oil in 3 years. When saute'ng, I just use water. You could use broth or wine, if you care to, but oil really isn't a necessity. The times I do prepare baked goods, I use applesauce or other baby foods instead of the oil and it works very well. Some of these things you will find are acquired tastes or just different tastes. I've been accused of having no taste, so works well for me. SMILE A huge collection of recepies can be found at fat free .com. An impressive number of them are vegan and are labeled such. Great that your spouse is willing to give things a chance, if skeptical at first. One problem I had with the kids when they were younger was the opposition their mother put up to trying things, so they had an easy out when they didn't think they would like something. When they got old enough, I quit trying. I always cook enough to share, but if they don't want it, they can fend for themselves now. The best!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Oh my god! I could only imagine the opposition you must get in your household there. Especially with your husband being a dairy person. If you've managed to go vegetarian in this kind of environment you've got 'knockers of steel I tell ya'. Keep up the good work, but I love cheese though. Can't find a good vegan alternative yet. Lisa On 9/15/05, Heather O'Neil <diamyst wrote: > > Hi.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi All wanted to introduce myself. I have been doing the programme for several months now, am on step 2 & planning step 3. I do eat a little fish but prefer a veggie diet. Any advise regarding how to get in enough protein would be most welcome. Breakfast is easy as I stick to soya PP shake. I don't eat cheese, do have soya & beans & pulses but find the quantities to get enough protein a bit daunting, adding in the brown as well is very filling, what do you all do? I need 27g protein for lunch & dinner. Thanks Jo p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
