I know this is VERY late to the discussion, but I know many a vegetarians/vegans who can still be unhealthy. If she stick to a 'whole' food plant based lifestyle then she will be right as rain. We need starches to keep us satiated. Without them we will never feel full. I live on rice, potatoes...

You can also use Nutritional Yeast. I use it on so many different things. And most folks who go vegan don't even have to worry about B12 for 3 years after doing so. By then you should have enough information to know what to do in your eating lifestyle.

So many people get freaked out about not getting enough protein. Does anyone know of anyone that has Kwashiorkor? I am going to say that I highly doubt it. That is what you get when you have a diet low in protein. And in order to get that disease, you would have to be malnourished. So I tell...

Looks like chia sprouts, only because I recentlys aw a photo of them. But they are some sort of sprouts.

You are correct Bucky. I would have to say that most folks who eat out are not looking for the good home-cooked style food. At least not like thier granny use to make. And if they think just because Cracker Barrel says home cooked food, they are sadly mistaken. They want what is fast and...

I think the show is a bit over dramatic, but then all relaity shows are (I still do not see how they are reality shows. No one follows me around in my life). I think he has the right idea, but he is fighting a serious battle and the big businesses who are making the big money off selling that...

We here, in our home, if ever, eat out and for many reasons. 99% of what is in restaurants is processed foods, not trying to find something healthy is near impossible. Plus I know what is going on in my kitchen and going into my food. On the rare chance I do eat out, I split the meal with...

Try using agave in place of artificial sweetners, those things are in a bad way. And agave is do-able for diabetics as well. When my husband/we switched from white table sugar and moved over to agave, all his stomach problems went away. Who knew it was that easy.

I saw that someone recently no longer says diet, they now say live-it. Makes sense to me. And I totally agree with the fact that any food program that limits what we all know to be common sense rules in the food world cannot be all that great.

I am a vegetarian and have been coming up on 2 years in September 2010. I am on my way to being vegan and seriously considering going raw. But I am unsure just how raw I want to go. I have never felt better. -I don't measure my food (for eating that is) -I don't count calories -I don't...

Green smoothies: 1 bag of spinach 1 cup frozen fruit (give or take) 1 banana Honey or agave (liquid sweetner is better) 1/4 cup oatmeal (optional) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I make these in my nearly 30 year old Hamilton Beach home blender. Now I know that if I want to do tougher greens, that I...

I am having this same problem and I am not on Vista. And...I see threads that supposedly have replies, but when I click on to that specific thread to view the replies, they are not there. Yet on the main forum page it shows 'x' amount of replies. 1) I am not seeing my posts (only after I hit...

I'm wondering also if enough viewers wrote in wanting him back and they felt they should honor their viewing public's wishes?

I no longer feel the need to 'lose' weight. What I try to do now is just eat healthy. Does that mean I have totally given up on the foods I love? No way Jose. The big things that I think have helped our family do better is to no longer eat out. And I mean not eat out at all. And we have let go...

We will be making basil pesto for the first time with basil fresh from our garden. wish us luck! :wink:
