[Guest guest]

Hello everybody,

 

I just joined the list, and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Elisa, I am 24 years old, SAHM of a 20 months old beautiful girl named Sarah and happily married. I am Italian but right now I live in Switzerland. I say right now because I lived also in the US and in Denmark, but I don't think we'll me moving anymore.

 

I am not a vegan, I am following the Fit For Life program and gradually switching to vegetarianism. I am anyway not a big meat eater, I prefer carbohydrates to proteins, and I find them much easier to digest, too.

 

My husband is not at home for dinner a few days a week, so those days I can have a vegetarian menu, while when he's here I usually cook meat or fish, or if it's a vegetarian menu it has to be very rich, like a soup, then a dish of raw veggies and a dish of cooked veggies.

 

I am finding this much easier than I thought, I anyway almost never eat eggs, I don't really like them, and I have not been drinking much milk (now any) since when I was a little girl, except for when I had cereal, which I don't really eat now but if I do I use Rice Dream. Cheese, I really like, but since I have been on the program I noticed that when I have cheese with my veggies I tend to overeat and anyway end up eating carbs after a while, which means it's not a well balanced meal after all... so I am trying not to eat cheese.

 

I love cooking and experimenting new dishes. I recently bought this really cool cooking book, it's called "The Natural Gourmet" and it has many yummy recipes. Does any of you know it?

 

Anyway, hope I didn't bore you... I am looking forward to get to know you all. By the way, how many people are part of this group?

 

 

Love, Elisa
