[Vegetarianslimming] File - VEGETARIAN SLIMMING GUIDELINES
(As of May 2006, with minor amendments September 2008)
1. Posts should be of general interest about
vegetarian health and slimming (weight loss),
including recipes (see below). This is not the place,
however, for medical advice.
2. We welcome only *Tried-and-True* recipes
(kitchen-tested by the member) which are low-fat as
well as low in sugar and calories, suitable for
slimming/weight loss. Recipes must be vegetarian (or
vegan) and edited to exclude all references to meat
and dead-animal products. Eggs, dairy and honey are
permitted. Please indicate the source of any recipes
which you did not originate yourself.
Please post the recipes to the list in the usual manner,
adding an indication "Recipe" in the subject line.
A moderator will then place the recipes in
the appropriate folder in the Files on our web page.
3. Please observe the following:
No anti-vegetarian (or anti-vegan) posts or material;
no political and/or religious posts or material; no
commercial posts or material which benefit, directly
or indirectly, the member or the member's family in any
way. (Links to members' own *non*-commercial web pages,
blogs and/or groups may be included in the Members'
folders at the top of the Links page and/or be
included discreetly [url only] below a member's
signature in a posted message.)
4. The usual warning about spam, flames, x-rated
material, etc., apply, as do the rules of Netiquette.
5. Any queries about the above or problems arising
should be directed to the moderators at the following
address: vegetarianslimming-owner@yahoogroups.com
Many thanks.

[Vegetarianslimming] File - Thought For Food
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!
