Your breakfast look ...Thanks, I just read the post. Your breakfast look yummy. When I went vegetarian, I heard too that I'd better make sure to get enough protein. But not going vegan means I eat dairy -- and truth be told, I'm actually pescatarian since I do eat fish once in a while. I like to get my protein from beans, lentils, nuts and dairy.

It has carrots, celery, onion, tomatoes, kale and cannellini beans and the base is water and tomato juice. It's healthy, hearty and yummy. The beans add protein. I've noticed that in several of your featured meals there isn't a protein, and I wondered what your main source is and how much you get on a daily basis. I've read that most people eat too much protein (in the form of meat), but I wonder about a lack of it in the vegan diet. What are your thoughts on this?Claudianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-30745568362241547952012-11-13T18:18:06.088-08:002012-11-13T18:18:06.088-08:00This looks so delicious.

I had brown<br />rice & lentils & mung beans with mixed veggies & half a potatoe [ lunch ] & some air-popped popcorn for a snack.<br />even later on i had 2 steamed yukon potatoes with bbq sauce & a salad [ dinner ].<br />I'm 5' 8" and I weight 118. My BMI is 17.9.<br /><br />Humans crave starches. They always have and always will. Ways of eating that deprive them of starch will leave them unsatisfied.<br />Too much bread and pasta can cause people to gain weight but mostly it's the FAT you eat that makes you FAT.<br />As Dr Mc Dougall says " the fat you eat is the fat you wear" [ oil, butter, cheese, etc]<br />shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11231859755559008915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-88513599682212604892012-11-13T18:03:38.169-08:002012-11-13T18:03:38.169-08:00Two years ago I served your vegan Thanksgiving din...Two years ago I served your vegan Thanksgiving dinner to my non-vegan family members, and it was a success. xo<br />-SuzanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-79792792100182833762012-11-13T15:19:36.091-08:002012-11-13T15:19:36.091-08:00Janet that looks delicious and your photography is...Janet that looks delicious and your photography is fabulous.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-57933536671590960242012-11-13T13:42:54.208-08:002012-11-13T13:42:54.208-08:00did you miss this?
