What should be the new items?

[Moderator's note: Robin had the courtesy to check with me before posting this

to the list, as he is not completely vegan and did not want to cause offence,

e.g. with references to eating fish. I hope we can provide some good advice to

help him make the transition to a 100% vegan diet.]

 

I thought I had my diet sorted out.

 

I have been 90% vegan for the last 5 years. I consulted with a

dietician as well as a number of doctors and all said my diet was

excellent if boring. I have had my doubts and then I started to read the

China Study by T. Colin Campbell and it is clear that I am eating much

too much animal fat in the form of the daily 90g of sardines. I have

decided to change it for a vegetarian substitute and will thus be

completely vegan. I would like some suggestions as to what to

substitute for the fish in my meal, but I do not want it to be a

ready made meal or something that is the result of a factory process.

 

So you can understand why it is not that easy for me to work out how to

make the change I now outline what was my diet until last week:

 

Breakfast:

 

I eat my protein is in the morning at breakfast time when I had been

advised I needed the maximum boost. It was the same each day. A 90g of

sardines on ryevita crisp bread, loads of garlic mashed into it, plus

lemon plus parsley, sprinkling of olive oil, a sliced tomato , beet root

slices, and lettuce leaves over the top. I also have a drink of juiced

fresh greens from my sprouter together with some pomegranate juice to

make it palatable and to help my heart.

 

Lunch:

 

Mid day a bowl of very dense

vegetable soup with a generous hand full of chic peas and a teaspoon of

psyllium husks.

 

 

Tea:

 

Tea at 4 is 2 table spoons of freshly ground flax seeds plus a bowl of

frozen forest fruits and some fresh fruit. In between this loads of

fruit and some nuts plus a single big mixture of a herbal tea, all

carefully researched, and a fair number of carefully chosen supplements.

 

I eat no milk products at all or meat.

 

I would very much like suggestions as to what I can substitute for the

sardines so that I can still retain the character of my morning

breakfast and end up with a generally healthy balanced diet. The

vegetable ingredients are worth the effort to retain in their current

form. I had thought of humus but the chic peas in the soup are the same

and they make the blended soup more palatable and pleasant to eat.

 

Hope you can help

How about a nut butter with some nutritional yeast, or tofu and hemp

oil mixed and add something to taste, theres tonnes of alternatives,

but I suppose something with Hemp oil wold be good as you get the Omega's.

 

You just need to creat a sandwich filler type thing in a processor and

whizz it all together, could be any veg, or soya, or nuts etc.

 

I would experiment if I were you..
