vegetables

[Guest guest]

Good Evening

 

I am, for the most part, doing pretty well. I am on step 2 this time around. I

forget to write down what I eat sometimes still and over the weekend had a

little sugar and today had a lot of sugar. At least tomorrow is a new day. :-)

That is what I love about this. I regret ever falling off, I was just feeling

so great I fooled myself into thinking I didn't need it any longer. LOL!!

Rookie mistake. :-)

 

Anyway, as for the vegetarian portion of this, I am really working to eat more

meatless meals and loving it. The first time I did this plan very successfully

about a year ago until last Sept I, eating lots of meat, I found with the volume

of browns (usually 1/2c brown rice my very best brown!) and the 25g of protein I

just wasn't hungry for green vegetables.

 

Now eating lots more beans, two or three eggs a week, and cheese, I am eating

even more volume and really missing my green vegetables. All vegetables in

fact. By the time I eat my beans and rice I am so full. I shred carrots and

zucchini into my sandwiches and wraps which helps but that is not enough. I

have been thinking about adding fresh vegetable juice but I am not sure when to

add it. For the best benefit it should be taken on an empty stomach and nothing

else eaten for 30minutes (ideally).

 

Can I drink my fresh green juice prior to my protein/brown meals so long as my

meal follows shortly after (15 to 30 mins) (and of course for breakfast within

the first hour of rising)?

 

This is the only way I can think to get my vegetables back into my diet at a

beneficial volume.

 

Cheers

Hi Cleo

 

It's great that you are here.

 

You can have veg juices with meals.  There is no need to drink them separately.

 

I hear you about volume.  Many people find that a veggie diet is high in bulk

and that some adjustment is needed.

 

We don't need to do everything at once though, so I'd suggest that you add a

small amount of any veggie that appeals at each meal, alongside a juice.

 

25g of protein and half a cup of brown rice isn't a huge amount though really,

unless you are finding the pulses challenging!

 

If so you could try having varied proteins at a meal, like some tofu and less

beans together?

 

It could be delicious.
