Menu Plans ?- Take II

[Guest guest]

Anyone know where I can find some sample menu plans? I am a former Atkins

dieter so I am making about as big a change as one can in diet and need some

ideas.

I wasn't ignoring this request - just that my simple answer is 'No' - as in I

don't know of

any offhand. Perhaps someone else can help you with some websites. I assume you

are

looking for some vegan weight-loss plans? And I will assume no allergies and no

medical

problems that would prohibit certain categories of foods. Perhaps you could try

googling

for something - although I didn't have a lot of luck when I tried.

 

For starters, you might want to look at the following, which I had bookmarked

from

something or other:

 

http://www.dietitians.ca/english/factsheets/e1992_03.html

 

http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/3053.html

 

This is in case you honestly don't know where to start and how to think about

vegetarian

food, of course.

 

As for menu plans, I resist them like the plague :-) When I want to lose weight

I simply cut

back on amounts, drop the fats/oils down as far as possible (including cutting

down on

oily foods like nuts, avocadoes, etc) and avoid sugars and 'white' foods such as

refined

flour, white rice, non-wholewheat pasta, etc. It's slow, but it works. Ideally

of course I'd eat

healthily like that all the time, but sometime when one is away from one's own

table a lot,

foods creep in there that are not as healthy and they do put the pounds on!

 

Otherwise, the McDougall Plan (I'm told) has a good reputation. We don't do that

here, of

course, although some members might.

 

Best of luck!

Oops -- I didn't see whether you are vegetarian or vegan. If you are

vegetarian, Kraft Foods has some meal plans. They'll tell you

everything to eat on a given day, the recipes, and even a shopping list.

You can sign up for a 1500 calorie vegetarian meal plan there for free.

I found a possibility...www.recipezaar.com.

click on 'community'

scroll down & click on 'menu ideas & help'

check out the threads for info and/or post a request for vegetarian menu

plans.

you can also search for vegetarian/vegan recipes - on the left side of the

home page, scroll down to 'vegetarian', hover the mouse & then click on

'vegan' - there's 4,846 vegan recipes as of right now!

 

hope this helps. good luck!

Dean asked, " where I can find some sample menu plans? " A good place to

start is the Vegetarian Resource Group. They provide nutritional

information and recipes - http://www.vrg.org.

 

I would also suggest getting a hold of a variety of vegetarian starter

kits. You can go through this link to find a lot of them:

 

http://www.bostonveg.org/go_veggie.html

 

I also suggest this site about how to set up a vegetarian pantry:

 

http://vegkitchen.com/tips/vegetarian-pantry.htm

 

(Check out the main site, too http://vegkitchen.com)

 

You might find it useful to to some vegetarian magazines like

Vegetarian Times, Veggie Life, or Vegetarian Journal.

 

I think you found a good thing with this recipe sharing list.
