Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Since I have religiously gone fat free for a few months now, I thankful that I have experienced a partial healing and am working on continuing fat free vegan eating for a full healing. I am sticking to it for Thanksgiving and plan to have baked sweet potatoes for breakfast and dinner, and for lunch kale, and pea soup or maybe a barbeque sauce & tempeh sandwich. I have never had the sandwich before, but I have had that tempeh for almost forever and I need to eat it someday. Has anyone else experienced some kind of healing with the fat free vegan lifestyle? Happy Thanksgiving. Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 ok guys, Please help me understand. Vegetarian, vegan, vegan fat free-does that mean all fat or animal fat?

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Maureen - I'm glad it's working for you and am curious what has improved for you. I have a rare small intestinal disorder that is mainly treatable by a very low fat (as well as high protein) diet. I appreciate knowing there are others out there doing what I am trying to do - follow a fat free diet. In the past month and a half, I have noticed a slight improvement so I'm hoping for continued healing along with you. It really is an inspiration to know there are many out there following this diet. Sometimes I feel like it is a different world, and that most people just don't get it. I have to say that I am very thankful for this group! I am preparing a traditional meal tomorrow because my oldest son (who just turned 23 today) requested it. It will be a very simple meal, with some of the dishes adapted a little so that I may eat.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Is there any way to determine that the mold on the tempeh is due to the creation of it and not from expiration of the 'Best if eaten by......' date ????Happy Thanksgiving everyone!Patricia Squyres (714) 299-6468 (714) 974-7055 Fax--- On Wed, 11/25/09, maureen smith <maureensgardengrotto wrote:maureen smith <maureensgardengrotto partial healing Date: Wednesday, November 25, 2009, 8:10 PM Since I have religiously gone fat free for a few months now, I thankful that I have experienced a partial healing and am working on continuing fat free vegan eating for a full healing.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Tom, when we talk about a fat-free vegan diet, we mean a diet free of all animal products, oils (vegetable and animal), and high-fat ingredients (such as peanut butter). Such a diet is more accurately called " very low-fat vegan " because all food has fat, even if it's just trace amounts. Some people eliminate nuts and seeds while others just reduce their intake of these high-fat but arguably healthy foods, depending on their reason for following a very low-fat diet. For this , we follow the guidelines listed on this page: http://www.fatfreevegan.com/faqs.shtml#allowedSusan------------------------- Susan VoisinFatFree Vegan Kitchenhttp://blog.fatfreevegan.comhttp://www.facebook.com/FatFreeVegan-------------------------- On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 11:27 PM, Tom Williams <tomcw4aa wrote: ok guys, Please help me understand.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 My husband has reversed his heart disease, dropped 40 lbs., and 80 cholesterol pts (into good range) with a fat free vegan diet. There is such a thing as junk vegans. Make sure you are getting high quality food which means lots of vegetables and greens and fruit and beans. Very little if any processed food. Watch the meat analogs such as Boca Burgers. They might be good for transitional foods (from meat eating to vegetarian to vegan), but are highly processed and you're better off without them or only on a very limited basis. I even heard Mark Klaper, M.D. recently say he only eats tofu about once a month. Vegetarian includes animal products such as eggs and dairy. Vegan doesn't include any animal products, and for some this means no honey or bee pollen. Non fat vegan means you don't add any additional fat like oils, margarine. You should be careful not to overdue the nuts and avocados as there is a lot of fat in them, although fat in its whole, natural form unlike oils. Dr. Esselytn, the vegan heart specialist, says that if you are diagnosed with heart disease and you're trying to reverse it, you need to give up nuts and avocados as well. Make sure however, you get your Omega 3s and B12 somewhere ... usually then with some sort of supplement. Protein is in virtually everything and Americans get way too much protein anyway. I've heard from good sources (medical doctors who also know nutrition) that we don't need to worry so much about getting enough protein. Hope this helps some. Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving to all U.S. people today. I'm making Susan V's Mushroom, Lentil, and Wild Rice Timbales with her Impromptu Mushroom Gravy and a great big green salad and asparagus. Her pumpkin pie (with no tofu for dessert). Can't wait! Mary Tom Williams <tomcw4aa Wed, Nov 25, 2009 10:27 pm Re: partial healing ok guys, Please help me understand.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hi Tom and Maureen, Here's the plan I follow; http://www.fatfreevegan.com/etl.shtml I use the 1 tablespoon of freshly ground flax seed daily. Other than that, my veggies and fruits give me all the lipids I need. Teresa M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I get a lot of support here on this group and also at another one Eat-2-Live/ The fatfree vegan eating plan with lots of leafy greens helped me bounce back to health after chemotherapy. Hugs of support, Teresa M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
