Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Laura, What has your diet looked like the past week in terms of fruit and veggie servings, etc. kinds of carbs, etc? I know that as a vegan eating no saturated fat at all i can still easily maintain or gain weight if i don't eat the right way. In the last 2-3 months i've dropped about twelve pounds making my biggest good group fresh, organic fruit and veggies, then dark whole grains, then low-fat soy protein , and then the smallest amount is nuts, seeds and avocado for good healthy fat. I've been drinking tons of water, and hitting the gym 5 days a week alternating cardio and strength training. Are you eating enough calories to lose weight? Have you had your body fat % done?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hi Morgan Thanks for writing and for your questions. Basically, I've been having an egg, bread and fruit for breakfast then fruit for a snack mid-morning. Lunch is veggie soup, beans/tofu-type things, vegetables, carbohydrate (rice/potatoes/pasta) and fruit. More fruit mid-afternoon fruit. Dinner, similar to lunch although I pick a different protein and carb and then supper is a bowl of porridge. If I'm hungry at any point during the day, I have more fruit or maybe some noodles or rice which are 'free' foods on the plan I'm on. I have about 700ml skimmed milk a day and don't add any fat when cooking save for the occassional squirt of spray-fat for frying mushrooms/leek/onion etc and even then I usually dry-fry. Do you think this seems a reasonable way to eat? Exercise-wise, I usually walk a minimum of 30 minutes most days but, in the past week we've had snow so I've only gone a couple of times. I walk wherever I can to avoid using the car and do housework so I'm fairly active. I've not had a body-fat done - but I have 3st to lose to get into the upper healthy part of the BMI. 1st=14lbs for those in the States so it's not a case of having already reached a healthy weight. Dinner tonight was red dragon pie, leek and mushroom followed by an apple. I didn't have soup as it wasn't defrosted and I'm not that hungry after a very lazy day.
