Low carb Bull Malarke

[Guest guest]

Hey guys I have been lurking here getting ideas about

basic recipes and haven't been posting but now I think

I will. I need to contribute. I don’t have a recipe

for a dish but thought I would share my recipe for

surviving as a vegetarian and now slowly so slowly

switch to vegan.

 

Carbs, carbohydrates are very good for you, without

them your brain won’t function. You need 500 calories

a day from carbohydrates. Complex Carbohydrates from

Oats and other grains as well as fresh fruits and

vegetables is LIFE! Simple carbohydrates from refined

food sources such as white floor and potatoes, ie

wonder bread and potato chips is DEATH.

 

I have also discovered that there are 9 essential

amino acids that are required to make a protein chain.

However you don’t have to eat the 9 all at the same

time. If you have some brown rice in one meal and then

beans in the other meal, my body will assimilate them

into protein. Isn’t nature wonderful! I like to make a

bean salad dish with brown rice mixed into the recipe.

Makes a wonderful dish hot or cold and high in protein

from food combination. There are religions where

eating meat is prohibited, billions of people live

entirely off a vegan diet.

 

There are also some really great vegan protein powders

to supplement if you are working out with heavy

weights and really trying to build bulk.

 

When I start craving potato chips it’s usually because

my body is lacking a carrier oil such as flax seed

oil. My body used to use animal fat as this carrier

oil now that I am vegetarian I need to replace this

with a carrier oil. Very important for getting the

Vitamin B’s to the cells and cleansing out the cells.

Sometimes I will also crave bloody steaks when I am

running low on iron and B vitamins. However I can get

more than my daily allowance by eating some flax seed

oil, which allows my body to uptake the vitamins. Also

very important, vitamin C helps the body uptake iron.

There is plenty of iron in grains.

 

Eating nuts, pumpkin and sunflower, and avocado’s is a

great source for natural oils that your body needs.

 

Craving sugar, enzyme tablets have helped me with this

to some degree, also doing a parasite cleanse is

suggested if you’re craving high amounts of sugar and

iron.

 

I hate to talk bad about people, but Atkins always

seemed a little mean in interviews and wasn't what I

would call a thin man.

 

I hope this has helped anyone new and if I got my

information wrong in any area please feel free to

correct me. I am still learning.

 

Well I am off to yoga!

 

Here is a great link to a macrobiotic site that may

explain complex carbohydrates better than I did. Also

do a search on complex carbohydrates.

Could you talk a little more about this or maybe have some pointers to info.

This is my main issue of weight control, good health, and even adhering to a

vegan diet, as so many of the sugary convenience snacks are not vegan, let

alone all the other things they are not. I haven't had the opportunity to

read it yet, but my understanding of Neal Barnard's latest book is he

contends sugar is physically addicting and you can break the addiction cold

turkey (so to speak) in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure if he talks about

anything missing in the diet that causes the cravings.

 

Thanks for your input!
