Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I seem to have hard time keeping my blood sugar stable on a veg. diet. Can anyone help me out. What is a good way to get really dense veg. protein? I am gluten/ wheat sensitive so seitan is out and I don't want to eat all of those fake meat soy foods.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi Laurie, I find that stacking my protein with different sources helps me feel the most stable. So one of my favorite lunches is to make a burrito with a brown rice wrap, and stuffed with black beans and cheese. Or and egg and cheese omelet (brown on the side). Or black bean soup with poached eggs on top (brown on the side). I don't eat wheat or gluten either, I do miss seitan, it was an easy and dense protein source! But the stacking seems to work well for me Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Is that why people use whey protein powder and brown rice protein powder in their shakes? Stacking in the shakes too.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Well to be honest I started doing it because I was running low on Restore and wanted to make it last longer--plain brown rice PP tastes yucky, but half and half tasted good, and in the end, I prefered the taste to straight Restore .

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Heather, I love your stacking protein approach, and I've been looking at my own meals and incorporating more of that.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Thanks, Heather! I also gave another look at the incredible...egg. I absolutely love eggs and they make me feel great. I was maybe getting into a wee rut with eggs, though, so I've decided to use a little more creativity when whipping up a simple egg dish. For example, I recalled a Madhur Jaffrey recipe for eggs with Indian spices, and ginger. So I made something like that. It was really good. She said modestly!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm new, but if you don't mind my jumping in--since I've now begun paying attention to my protein intake as a veg, something I never did before, I'm astonished at how much protein there is in some veggies. 10 g in a cup of cooked spinach, 7 g in a serving of broccoli. Don't forget the veggies when you're looking for protein sources! Also, I'm not crazy about fake meat either--except those Morningstar sausage patties! One alone has 10 g of protein, and they're SO yummy! And I never even used to like sausage, back in my meat-eating days. But I do love those, with hash browns or on a whole grain bagel . . . mm! :-) Dani , " Laurie " <laurieseidman wrote: > > I seem to have hard time keeping my blood sugar stable on a veg. diet.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi Dani, Welcome to the list! It's great that you've joined us. We've had some interesting discussions on the list recently about the quality and density of protein from vegetables. I encourage you to read through the archives from the last 2 or 3 weeks. We've found in RR that the quality of our programs (especially as vegetarians) is strongly linked to good quality, dense protein. That can be tough with vegetables as you have to eat a lot of them and they still aren't quite as " solid " as things like beans, tofu, tempeh, and other veg protein sources. Does that make sense? Anyway, I'm glad you're here! Where are you in the steps?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 > Hey, Dani, nice to have you here. I am not sure where you are > getting your numbers from about the protein in veggies, but my USDA source says 3 grams in a cup of broccoli, and 5 in a cup of cooked spinach. I would not really consider veggies as protein souce <smile>... The point of the program is to get enough protein to repair your brain and body. I love that you are being creative, and you can stack up those veggie grams, but truly, it works better if you focus on the dense sources. warmly, kathleen >> >> >> I'm new, but if you don't mind my jumping in--since I've now begun >> paying >> attention to my protein intake as a veg, something I never did >> before, I'm >> astonished at how much protein there is in some veggies. 10 g in a >> cup of >> cooked spinach, 7 g in a serving of broccoli.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 hi Janine I've heard of this but it's not a food as such, in that you work up gradually to a maximum of 1 tablespoon daily of the product, & that's negligible protein. When I saw that it was [the Romanian stuff?] up to 45% protein [usually more like in the high 20%s], I was thinking in terms of the size of scoop I use for my usual PP, & that's many many tablespoons. Plus I need more than one of those! Mel , Janine Acevedo <janine wrote: > > Speaking of protein...well first of all hi Dani, nice to meet you!
