Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 wow, that sounds difficult. my sympathies. I guess your protein comes from beans & legumes? I wonder if it's possible to make a bean mash loaf? (vs. meatloaf?) I am so grateful I don't have to work with limited diet options. I don't have a lot of ideas but you're in my thoughts & if I run across something interesting, I'll send it along...

I guess your protein comes from beans & legumes? I wonder if it's possible to make a bean mash loaf? (vs. meatloaf?) Of course it is! In fact, I believe the files have some examples. You can also make loaves from grains and nuts. Seitan and quorn (if you are not vegan, Rebecca) are other non-soy me*t alternatives. -Erin > I am so grateful I don't have to work with limited diet options.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Rebecca, If you need substitutes for those things, there are a lot of things in the files. Usuallythe first question someone asks me when they find out I am a vegetarian is " How do you get your protein? " The thing is we really do not need that much protein.All foods that I can think of have protein, although not allhave a " complete " protein. There is a book that tells about this. I think it is by John Robbins or someone recommended " the China Syndrome " a week or so ago. Many long living people eat little protein. In fact, cancer rates tend to be higher with increased ammounts of protein. Preparing for a family that really misses meat then this group has many alternatives in the files.

In fact, > cancer rates tend to be higher with increased ammounts of protein. I just read " The CHina Study " after someone here posted about it. Excellent book, worth the read, and I'll probably go buy it (I had borrowed it from the library). One the studies in the book involved rats engineered to have liver cancer. When fed 20% protein (a common amount, especially among Americans), they all got cancer... but when fed only about 5% protein - none of them got cancer. 100% difference. It's correlative with human populations as well - looked at communities in CHina, India, Japan... also compared them with folks who had moved here, and picked up our incidence of disease. Anyway, the book is a wealth of information, and really makes me limit my dairy intake. Casein was particularly problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
