Vegetarian diet ?
Cliff Beckwith
Hi,
I am far from a vegetarian and probably will never be one but I have had a setback lately that I am quite sure is due to too much sugar etc. etc. However, I have read, and did not keep the sources, that a combination of beans, Navy, Pinto, Great Northern, or whatever and brown rice will provide complete nutrition. Yesterday my wife and I stocked up on various brands of beans and brown rice and will be including that in our diets. I do know that the Japanese army did quite well on a diet of rice for breakfast, dinner and supper. They weren't talking about the polished white starch that we call rice. I would surely consider this as the main base of any vegetarian diet for myself. Cliff |
Hi,
I am a vegetarian and have been one for a couple of years now. I just thought I would make some suggestions to you from my experience as a vegetarian. As far as rice is concerned, if you can get Lundberg's rice, that is a good option. All their rice is, from what I am told, organically grown, even the rice that isn't sold as organic. As far as beans are concerned, try to stay away from canned beans. They very often have lots of additivies, perservatives, and the can itself leaks metals into the beans. If you must buy canned beans, Eden organic is a good brand, since they use enamel lining in their cans, so that the metal does not leak. Don't do too much pasta. That is usually how veges go wrong, and it creates too much acidity in the body and overloads it with calories. Last but not least, try to indulge in nuts, if you have the teeth for it :) Nuts are a great source of everything, protein, fat, carbs, what have you. Usually you can buy them unprocessed and raw, which is also a great improvement over TV dinners and such :) There is a nice product called Sunshine burger, that has lots of sunflower seeds mixed with brown rice. They are quite tasty, imho. Bon apetit, Simon --- In FlaxSeedOil2@..., Cliff Beckwith <cliffb865@f...> wrote: Hi,had a setback lately that I am quite sure is due to too much sugar etc.for myself. |

Great pointers, Simon! Do the Sunshine Burgers list soy or lecithin as an ingredient??

I love almonds but my teeth do not take them so well anymore. However what I had found once when preparing a 'take along' snack was.. I had cut up some celery in about 1/2" chunks with some raisins and almonds in a container to take with. The moisture from the freshly washed and prepared celery had made the almonds softer and of course delicous too. So now I soak the almonds in some water about 1/2 at least before snacking on them. Also, I had begun canning my beans several years ago after learning how the Adventists do theirs. Simply wash the beans put about 3/4 -1 c in a quart jar, fill with water, salt if you wish, and process in pressure cooker for specific amount of time. Super! and ready to use ! If anyone is interested I can look up the exact amount of beans and processing time. ~Katlee ----- Original Message -----

Cliff, Simon and Keith,
about 20 years ago there was a good book written on the subject of combining certain foods, especially legumes and grains, to get more usable protein out of these foods. The book was called "Diet for a Small Planet". I believe it is still available.

Yeah, I love nuts too, but don't really have the teeth for them. Soaking is a great way to still eat them :) nd ready to use ! If anyone is interested I can look up the exactPlease do post the details for this method. Thanks, Simon |

ground raw sun-flower seeds, Organic brown rice, organic carrots, organic herbs and sea salt. I don't think I will be able to eat them but they may be a change for my grandson.
