Are there any pot luck get togethers that are held in the Monmouth County, NJ area?and finally :)3. Can anyone suggest a good way I can fill up on any specificvegan foods?

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Stephanie,Welcome. I get filled easily when I eat winter squash, baked with a sprinkle of cinnamon. I am not a tofu lover but the husband really loves baked tofu and finds it filling.Hope this helps-keda Sent from my iPhoneOn Oct 11, 2009, at 12:36 AM, Stephanie Faith <stephaniefaith94 wrote: Hello,I am new to the group and I have a few questions.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Perhaps you are hungry because you are trying to go low carb and your body is telling you something: it needs fuel to operate (which is what carbs are for). I would be terribly hungry if trying to limit carbs ... and I see no reason for doing so. Are you eating enough calories? Is there some particular reason you want to go low carb? It is possibly to avoid junkier carbs and still get good ones from potatoes, whole grains, legumes, etc. Also, the more fiber one eats the more full one will feel. How are you doing on that score?

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Neal Barnard MD who advocates a vegan diet or John McDougal who advocates a vegetarian diet are experts on eating as a healthy veget. You can be a vegan and eat terribly. Emphasis on whole grains, vegetables, legumes, fruits and low fat non dairy are paramount. Barnard has a web site pcrm.org and has written many good books - one of which is " Breaking the Food seduction" to help you get off sugar, dairy etc for good. The Vegetarian Resource group at VRG.org also has many good vegan recipes. You also could look into a cookbook by Rose Elliott called Low GI Vegetarian which says eating low on the glycemic index will get you to a good place and limit the bad carbs.When you have the time- think ahead for the week to come - say on the weekend, make up extra whole grains like oat and wheat groats, brown rice, millet, quinoa, kasha, beans, lentils and freeze them in serving sizes. Stock up on organic canned beans, tomatoes, salsa, vegan soups, frozen Amy's vegan mexican and italian microwave dinners to add fresh or frozen vegs and make up good meals at a moments notice and the extra fiber will fill you up.. Your gut and skin will thank you.Good luck --Patricia Squyres (714) 299-6468 (714) 974-7055 Fax--- On Sun, 10/11/09, hathor42 <hathor42 wrote:hathor42 <hathor42 Re: A Few Questions for the Group Date: Sunday, October 11, 2009, 8:02 AM Perhaps you are hungry because you are trying to go low carb and your body is telling you something: it needs fuel to operate (which is what carbs are for).

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 thanks - I will have to try it. I save more of fat free vegan recipes than any other site and she does it with little fat and so much flavoring - a real talent I am a vegiac - a gluten free vegan ........so I have to do so much substitution for any recipes that outcome becomes suspect but her site works well most of the time.Patricia Squyres (714) 299-6468 (714) 974-7055 Fax--- On Sun, 10/11/09, marylizzy <marylizzy wrote:marylizzy <marylizzyRe: Re: A Few Questions for the Group Date: Sunday, October 11, 2009, 7:50 PM Yes, Patricia.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I think --- correct me if I'm wrong -- you can get gluten free lasagna noodles for the lasagna. Good for you for being vegan AND gluten-free. Tough to do. I have gluten intolerant friends so will pass along any recipes I have that I like and fits the criteria.
