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.

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

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I am not going to use canned beans but dry
beans and prepare them ourselves.

I am particularly anxious to avoid sugar as much as possible.

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.

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.

As far as I know, they are soy, dairy and GMO free.

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 exact

Please do post the details for this method.

Thanks,
Simon

I just bought the Sunshine burgers and the ingredients are: Organic
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.
