I have been told by my doctor that I need to be under 10 grams of fat

a day..I am vegan so it's not too hard..But where do I start? Any

advice would be very appreciated

Eliminate margarine completely. Get accustomed to eating your bread plain, or with low sugar jam. On baked potatoes, no margarine--try lemon juice only.

Most soy-based and rice-based cheese and deli-type "meats" are very low in fat. Stick with low fat tofu. if you use soy milk, be sure it is the low fat variety.

Elimninate any unnecessary condiment--try a sandwich dry, without the vegannaise. You'll grow accustomed to it, so much so that when you (once in a while) splurge on the reale thing, it actually tastes good.

If I think of more, I'll let you know.*********************

If it's meant to be,

It will be.

Hi Janice:

I have looked alot for low fat vegean recipes and haven't had alot

of luck. The other day at the heath food store, I came across a book that

is exactly what I was looking for.

It is called "The Lighthearted Vegetarian Gourmet Cookbook" by Steve

Victor. It is pretty old, 1988, but I did a search under the name of the

cookbook and it looks like you can still get it.

It is really different than other cookbooks. He explains everything

in great detail and tells you why and how on everything. He tells you how

many fats grams on everything and even helps you figure it if you combine

different foods at a meal.

His recipes are very ordinary! He doesn't do Tofu or anything usually

thought of a "Vegetarian" or :Vegan". He just takes normal recipes and

makes them work.

It is interesting and looks great. I have to admit that I have not

tried anything in it yet. But, I think it is going to be a fantastic bood

and guide for what your are looking for.

Anyway, you might want to look into it. If you cannot get a copy of

it, let me know, and I can run you off copies of it. It is only about 100

pages long.

Hope this helps,

Kathy

Instead of baked potatoes, I have found that if I cut them up and sprinkle some Season-All or other seasoning on them, and microwave or roast them, they are delicious without added fat.
