[Vegetarianslimming] End of year

 

Glad there are still some people talking in here.

Hope Christmas went well.

I went to a party yesterday, and am going to WW this morning.

I am sure I've gained, but it won't be too much. Whatever I have gained this week I'll lose over the next few weeks.

Re: [Vegetarianslimming] Vegetarian Vegetable Bouillon Cubes with only healthy ingredients?

 

Yea, I've used some Trader Joe's veggie stock/broth recently. I don't really care for cubes but I do like the Better than Bouillon paste I posted about. 
I would think a benefit of cubes/paste over broth would be you can have a bunch on hand in case you forget to pick up or make broth. Works for me that way anyways. :-)

I have never used bouillon cubes before. I use organic vegetable stock. I can't remember the brand name, but it has about 8 ingredients and I'd say 6 are while foods :)).

Benefit of using cubes versus straight broth????

Many bouillon cubes contain not only an inordinate amount of sodium but MSG as well. And then as an added bonus they throw in some hydrogenated oil. Is there any brands of Vegetarian Vegetable Bouillon Cubes with only healthy ingredients?

I have made Vegetable Bouillon from scratch. However, I would still like to use Vegetarian Vegetable Bouillon Cubes at times. Provided I can find some with only healthy ingredients

Thanks in advance

[Vegetarianslimming] File - Thought For Food

(Vegetarian Health and Slimming Group)

THOUGHT FOR FOOD!

1. The Thought:

Do Vegetarians and Vegans ever need to lose weight? Of course we do (through a variety of circumstances, which usually boils down to taking in more fuel than we are able to burn off). Sad but true, fat happens. Something we can do on this list is exchange wonderful recipes in keeping with our needs. (The exercise is up to you - but we're with you in spirit!) As a quick rule of thumb, it's best to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, the more colours the better, whole grains rather than refined grains, and less processed food and sugars.

2. The Food:

SLIMMING: Of course, *all* recipes sent here should be vegetarian, tried-and-true *and* suitable for slimming (weight loss), which is to say not loaded with high-calorie ingredients such as too much sugar, dried fruit, sweetened preserves, etc. That's just obvious. Also, however, please note that this is a low-fat group and we, therefore, draw attention to some foods that should be either avoided or used only in small amounts in the recipes posted:

* full-fat dairy, including cheese, cream, yoghurt, butter, etc.
* full-fat soy products
* coconut cream and milk
* most nuts
* margarine and cooking oils
* peanut butter and the like
* mayonnaise and fatty salad dressings
* olives
* avocados

There are probably more (send them in if you think of them!) to be added, but this gives the general idea. Many dairy and soy products, nut butters and coconut milks, etc., can frequently be found in low-fat form and these are more suitable. Other ingredients (dairy cheese, for eg., and nuts, fatty fruits, etc.) are great for garnish, of course, and/or a little added flavour, but not as a major ingredient.

(A good tip: Always read the nutritional data even on packages of prepared foods labelled Vegetarian or Vegan, including faux 'meats'.)

Hope this helps a bit ;-) Don't let it scare you - we'll help happily if you have a recipe you'd like to use but need to 'slim' it down!

[Vegetarianslimming] Re: Weightwatchers

 

I wasn't even trying to lose this week. Only want to maintain till spring. In my opinion late spring, summer, early autumn is the time to lose, and winter is the time to maintain.

Re: [Vegetarianslimming] Started the Rice Diet Monday and I've lost over 13 pounds as of this morning

 

Hi Dena,

If you go to Durham NC and spend a few weeks there as a 'Ricer' it's
probably a bit more restrictive, but I'm following the home based plan from
The Rice Diet Solution so day 1 of each week is the most restrictive. It's
best to read the book because it goes into much more detail, but it's
basically a low-fat and low-salt plan, as they claim the high salt levels in
the processed foods most of us eat is what causes the cravings to keep
eating more and more. I must say, though I initially started day 1 thinking
wow, those are small portions, it will never satisfy me, the truth is it
did. I wasn't hungry. Maybe that's the lack of salt, or maybe it's being
starch-based, but either way I was thrilled that I wasn't hungry and I lost
weight. Obviously the more you have to lose, the more you're likely to lose
in week one, and I started at 271 pounds.

Portion sizes for this diet are:

1 starch =
1/3 cup rice or beans
1/2 cup cooked grains, pasta or starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn, green
peas, yams)
Or 1 slice of bread or 1/2-1cup cereal (depending on the cereal)

1 fruit =
1/2 a banana, 1 medium fruit or 1 cup cut fruit, grapes or blueberries, etc.

1 vegetable =
1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw vegetables

So day 1 of week 1 each meal you're allowed 2 starches and 2 fruits.

The rest of week one breakfast is 1 starch, 1 non-fat dairy (or soy milk)
and 1 fruit
Lunch & Dinner are each: 3 starches, 3 vegetables and 1 fruit

Hope that helps, but as I said, you're better off reading the book because
they get into the rationale of the plan and how it also involves
mindfulness, meditation and yoga ­ it's all about a way of life rather than
just a diet, and taking care of your mind, body and spirit. If you want to
see the exact menus I've been eating, you can look on my blog, I listed them
every day for the first week.
