[Guest guest]

thanks, i ordered both the idiot's guide and the veg for dummies, both at great

prices, can't wait to get them!

 

although i'm curious as to breakfast items, can veggies have rice or corn

chex, or raisin bran cereals?? i also heard that instant oatmeal isn't o.k.

whole grain pastas are good, but can u use any type of meatless sauce in a jar??

i think i understand all the veg/fruit/legumes/nuts etc., etc., but i'm not sure

about the occasional packaged items from the supermarket, if anyone can help

with this that would be great, thanks

There are some excellent organic meatless pasta sauces on your

supermarket shelf. Walmart has several brands. IT is not easy to

change 'everything' at once so you might feel more comfortable eating

boxed cereals and move on to preparing your own granola later. You

will be better off not buying expensive packaged items but in the

begining they are helpful. Not all wheat pasta is tasty but you can

buy reg. organic pasta. All of these items are available at your

super market. Check out the files for some really fun and tasty

recipes and experiment when you have time. Also try to prepare your

favorite foods for the time being so you do not feel deprived.

If you don't have time to prepare oatmeal in the morning , fix it the

night before , refrigerate it and warm it the next morning. Tastes

great and you can add so many yummy fresh fruits etc. to it.

Most of all...Just have fun..

Hi Jennifer,

Welcome to the group As far as packaged foods from the store,

you're going to have to get used to reading all that tiny print on the

labels to be sure there are no animal products in them. Some of the

things animals products end up in are surprising! I would think

breakfast cereals would be ok but I would still read the labels very

carefully just to be sure.

 

hth,

Peace,

Diane

As far as breakfast cereal, about the main thing to watch for is gelatin. It

is in those frosted mini wheats and some other cereals. Just read the fine

print ingredient list. Gelatin unfortunately is in a whole lot of things, from

some margarines, some dips, medicene, most yogurts, and a whole lot more.

Watch for animal stock/broth in things too. Smart Balance and Earth Balance

don't contain gelatin or transfats. We love this product and it is all I buy

for using as is or baking/cooking with. We love the Bare Naked Granola's,

Kashi Go Lean Crunch(almond flax seed clusters), Cascade Farm Cereals, oatmeal,

grits, cream of wheat and musili cereals very much.

 

If it isn't meat it, it is ok. Nuts, grains, veggies, fruit, etc..... are

great. Drink lots of water.

 

BTW there are basically 2 kinds of vegetarians and both are on this list.

Lacto-ova vegetarians, which eat dairy products and eggs along with the nuts,

grains, veggies and fruit and Vegans, which only eat the nuts, grains, veggies

and fruit.

 

There are lots of meat substitutes out there on the market. If you would like

a detailed list of these wonderful products, let me know and I'll send them to

you. We have been lacto ova vegetarians all our life and have always used

these products. They are really delicious and allow you to still make lots of

your favorite recipes.

 

Watch your canned Refried beans. Many have lard in them. There are some widely

available in all grocery store that don't have it in them though.

 

If you have chosen this diet to become healtier, then consider breads that are

100% Whole Wheat or !00% Whole Grains. They are much better for you than those

with enriched wheat flour, which lacks a whole lot of nutrients that the !00 %

Whole Grains/Wheat have.

 

Become a label reader and eat lots of varieties of foods.

 

Hope this helps.
