Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Ah, thanks Mel, I am problem solving this as I am typing lol! Soy did occur to me actually, I have a tub of George original somewhere...... I am 42, not his menopause yet. If I just had one serving this could be an option. My problem I guess is I'm used to how I've gotten things, and I am not a great cook, and need quick and easy and ready made stuff.....especially in the morning, I get up before the kids to get my brekkie. Do you mind me asking what you had at ranch for brekkie....muesli type thing, looked yummy. I'm not sure if you are vegan or veggie, sorry...thanks so much for helping me with this.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi Steph, you're doing the right thing by reaching out. When I switched to vegetarian I recall saying a lot that it felt like I was learning to do the food all over again. Which actually is a good way of thinking about things because it means you can step back with a beginners mind . I used a protein powder that comes from brown rice for a while. It needs more dressing up then whey protein powders, I think, but it's doable! I love Mel's ideas for breakfast. Maybe also a good creamed vegetable soup with the pea protein powder mixed in? No real cream, of course, but the veggies purreed so it's smooth might go down easier first thing in the morning. Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. --Albert Einstein ________________________________ mel <shaggypoo.chaos Thu, January 21, 2010 10:20:44 AM Re: Too much information!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I think feeling like you're on step 1 again is exactly the right way to think about it! I imagine it's hard being on step 6 and feeling like you're starting over, but you have all the wonderful experience and SKILLS of having gotten to step 6 to help you. I've been experimenting with vegan eating this month and have settled on lentils and quinoa for breakfast. I cook a pound of lentils and a cup of quinoa, and they last me for about 6 breakfasts. The challenge for me with veganism has been finding little ways to bump up my protein. I used to just eat a cheese stick or a hard boiled egg if I needed a few more grams. Now it's more important that I get the right amount of protein in my soy or beans (whatever it is that I'm eating). I am starting to add a sprinkle of nuts to many of my sauces, soups, and salads. Toast with peanut butter has also become one of my add-ons. I am going to spend some time next week experimenting with making my own snack bars, not as a snack, but as a little add-on to a meal, and something I can carry with me in case of an emergency. Let us know what you try and how it goes! Cheers, Sharon ________________________________ Steph <john-steph.hammond Thu, January 21, 2010 7:08:24 AM Too much information!

Do you cook your lentils and quinoa just plain and put it in the fridge and warm it up?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi Steph, Naturade has a pea protein powder, and Nutribiotic has a vanilla rice protein powder. It sounds like you may be in the UK, though-these are US brands. George's Restore is so good for texture and taste that it might help to mix some in if you can tolerate that. A carefully added up big bowl of cereal with oats, walnuts, almonds, wheat germ (lots), shredded wheat, cinnamon and soymilk can work. If you have the luxury of a little time, I would advise not to switch everything too suddenly and to keep an eye on your journal. When I began to eat less meat, it took me a while to be able to go long periods of time without getting cranky. The time I was able to last gradually increased though. At first it was only a few days at a time. Good luck, I know you can do it.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yes, I just cook the lentils with salt and pepper (and the quinoa is plain). I actually split the lentils into 6 servings to store in the fridge and freezer (I don't want to eat lentils that have been in the fridge for 6 days), so I don't have to worry about measuring in the morning. I keep the quinoa in one big tupperware and just add a half cup to my lentils, salt it all, then microwave for 3 minutes. I've also discovered that it's nice having prepared quinoa sitting in the fridge, ready to go. It's a very filling grain, so a little goes a long way. The other night I made a fairly elaborate (for me) tofu, so then I just served it with some warmed-up quinoa. It was nice to have it ready; it was one less thing to cook.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 HI Mel I am new and working on becoming a vegetarian. What is the difference between soya protein, tofu and tempeh? In your post you said Steph was probably too young for soya protein but then you mention tofu and tempeh and I thought they were soy? Is soya and soy the same? I don't post much I am reading as often as I can to learn the tricks of the trade. :-) I really appreciate how much information everyone shares.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi Cleo Yes tempeh is fermented soya beans, sorry! Soy and soya are identical as far as I know. Mel -- Sent from my Palm Prē Cleo wrote: HI Mel I am new and working on becoming a vegetarian. What is the difference between soya protein, tofu and tempeh? In your post you said Steph was probably too young for soya protein but then you mention tofu and tempeh and I thought they were soy? Is soya and soy the same?
