[Vegetarianslimming] File - VEGETARIAN SLIMMING GUIDELINES

NEW 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

(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] My Blog

 

Hi all,

I'm a pilot and search the cities I visit for veggie restaurants and then write a review. Lately I've started to add pictures. Here's my blog. Let me know what you think.

Thanks

[Vegetarianslimming] Three Sisters Soup

 

I know... this is not a hot soup kind of season, but hey... Three Sisters
Soup is my favorite and I can't find an authentic version online. Three
Sisters Soup should combine squash (usually zucchini), corn, and green
(string) beans, not the junk I keep finding online. I buy it every year at the
Native American Pow Wow near me in early June, but I'd really like to be able
to make it myself. Do any of you have an authentic recipe for it? These
are what I found online... and they're not right!


Three Sisters Soup
Recipe By : http://www.drmirkin.com
Serving Size : 6
3 pounds winter squash (such as acorn or hubbard) or pie pumpkin
3 small onions -- chopped
3 cups bouillon
3 teaspoons mild chili powder
3 cans cannelini or other white beans -- (16-19 oz.) undrained
3 cups fresh or frozen lima beans
3 cups frozen corn kernels
3 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions for garnish
Preheat oven to 400. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Cut the
winter squash in half, remove the seeds and lay it on the cookie sheet, cut
sides down. Bake the squash for 30-45 minutes, or until the flesh is soft
enough to scoop out with a spoon.
Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup of the bouillon to a boil, add the onions and cook
5- 10 minutes. Stir in the rest of the bouillon, the Southwestern Spice
Blend and the white beans. Simmer gently until the squash is ready. Scoop the
soft squash flesh out of the shells and stir it into the soup. Mash the
beans and squash slightly to thicken the soup. (You can puree it in a blender
if you want a really smooth consistency.) Add the lima beans and simmer 10
minutes or until the beans are tender. Stir in the corn, ladle the soup
into bowls and garnish each serving with chopped chives or green onions.6-8
servings
Not even close...

Congratulations, Dear Dragon...

However, I'm new to this group.  What is thyroxine?  It sounds  like a
thyroid supplement.  I take synthroid.  Is this similar?

Finally got the rest of the results back on Tuesday , cholesterol absolutely perfect (up yours
the dietician who was horrified that I didn't eat Flora or some such
but actually had butter and full fat cheese and mayonnaise! ) and diabetes - nope! blood sugars are bang
on as well - so the docs are really pleased that
they only have one thing to get right which is the thyroxine , so now I just need to get the dosage
right and then hopefully I can start shifting some of this blubber
