Advice

[Guest guest]

Thank you all for your advice- I am trying to have a balanced diet

and I don't want to let my cravings lead me in the wrong direction,

as in eating whatever vegan junk food I can. I will let you guys know

if I see a major change in my weight. I did not become vegan to lose

weight, but I will not complain if I lose a few. Alicia- I will look

for that soy milk. I had bought some soy milk and it actually made my

throat kind of dry. I was hoping that I would like it a lot, but I

was kind of disappointed. I recently got a rice milk and will try

that also. I was not a huge milk drinker before I became vegan, but I

did love cheese. I am so mad that when I looked at the cheese that I

thought was all soy actually had casein in it. It was so misleading

on the cover. I am now very precautious about checking ingrediants.

Talk with you all soon and thanks again -Katie

Dear Katie,

 

I just joined this list today myself, and am not hearing from

anyone who is talking from a diet like mine. Today for

instance, I haven't eaten anything that would even have an

ingrediants list. That is I eat lots of raw vegies, and nuts at

present, and some fruit also. That's most of it. But I do get

cravings:

 

I LOVE sweet red bell peppers. Yum. I could eat a dozen a day

I think, if I had them. And I love cilantro...GREENS by the way

are a great way to get calcium and other minerals. Personally I

have a lot of trouble finding good produce. This isn't really a

problem to be solved at grocery stores or even farmers

markets...we need to have vegi/fruit gardening be as much a

focus of our yards and parks as lawns are at present.

 

I do think starting a lot of gardens (with " help yourself "

signs) would be a good way to help others to transition to a

healthy and kinder diet. I would like to think of this kind of

eating style as " garden foraging " . Instead of going to the

restaurant, you stroll through the park, or around the block,

nibbling.

 

A little more about me...I am staying in Wisconsin (near

Milwaukee) USA, and planning to buy a van very soon in which I

will travel to seek more opportunity to live healthy, and to

maybe, I hope, help others to find housing and grow gardens. I

am interested in building tent cities or tent communities to

help with these issues, and hope to find other vegan nice people

who want to help as well. Or perhaps I will find some other

venture already happening in which to join in...Well, these are

the things I am thinking of.

Joanne,

 

I love your ideas! I would like to eat more 'raw', but I have trouble

getting enough cals that way. I always feel hungry after a 'raw' day. How

do you do it?

why souldn't we mix protein with carbs? Don't high-protein foods already

have naturally a fair ammount of carbs?

Hmmm Linda, I can't really answer this yet...my life is really

erratic, and so I don't really have a day to day that can be

described. I can't even really generallize. This is another

day that I haven't eaten anything but nuts, red peppers, and

pears. I had about four red bell peppers, but never got around

to making the other raw vegies cause I was on the go. But I had

more than the ideal amount of nuts (almonds and pecans)...I am

very frustrated becasue the local produce mart has only

waxed/oild pepers now...so much for eating things without an

ingrediants list. Today would not be an example of a good diet.

 

But to answer you anyway. (That is I am going to tell you how I

ended up eating mostly raw vegies, not how I do it presently.) I

used to make a big bowl of steamed greens (maybe kale, parsley,

collards, beet greens...depending on availability) for

breakfast, with maybe flax oil and maybe flax seeds,

lecithin...then I started adding raw greens on the

side--parsley, cilantro...eventually I ate a bunch of parsley

instead, maybe with some seeds, I forget...maybe a carrot or

two? Anyway the bowl of raw veg started later in the day as a

snack for my mom, and then I just kept eating more and more red

bell peppers...can't get enough of em, sort of anyway...I mean I

really like them and find them very satasfiying. So in the

past weeks I have been bringing these big bowls of raw veg to

the computer and have munched away while computing. Mostly it

seems fine, IF I make enough and was able to get enough from the

store. When I eat cooked food, its cooked squash mostly,

sometimes some other veg.

 

I almost missed this letter...I am going to have to see if this

list is available on digest as I have about 100 unread mail and

its likely to get worse at present. If I see the list name, I

am presently skipping over in favor of private emails, mostly.

 

I really want to get involved in vegan gardening somewhere,

either community gardens or something where the food is for

everybody...

Okay, later...if I ever catch up... joanne

I'd like to see more discussion and fewer " alerts " .

 

My reasons?

 

(1) No one has time to do much about so many alerts.

(2) There are lists devoted entirely to alerts.

Why not join them?

(3) Aren't at least SOME of these lists supposed to be

for discussion or for pertinent information about

the vegan lifestyle, not entirely about one particular aspect

of vegan philosophy (which has nothing to do with food)?
