i'm from finland too; though (to be a drag) it isn't 'really' scandinavia, as isn't iceland :). i have been in denmark as a kid (and gone through by car on my way back home via sweden, though i think...
yay, i love salads!! these are some of my favourite combinations:
shredded carrot+beetroot, sweet pepper, lettuce, cucumber, asparagus (tinned), corn (tin), avo, lots of oregano. and if you like:...
these are not dishes but foods and condiments, maybe too obvious or 'plain' to even consider but as a non-english person they stood out - though i'm not sure if all of them are actually...
texturised soya you can find nearly anywhere in the uk (I think!), check in health food shops. comes in small granules ('mince'), or bigger chunks, or large pieces ('fillets').
but maybe that's...
i too love quinoa! boiled is ultragreat, but sprouted is nice too. the instructions on the packet i have makes them very very good, not sticky nor hard or anything: ratio water to quinoa 2:1, bring...
catmogg: do you boil the chick peas? and for how long do you sprout them?
sprouted cheeze! wow, have to try to grow some tails to that one ;). sounds nice, herbwormwood :).
tried to sprout almonds. they didn't sprout (kept them going ofr three days). so i ate them just...
Yes, true, should learn to rest when needed -- it's just sort of difficult to give yourself the time to do that... Anyway, about eating even if not hungry, I find that that makes my digestions even...
no need to toast the almonds, i didn't and it turns out fine! only thing you need is patience....! it might be faster if you add some extra oil, though.
i just read on anutrient table that almond...
good point, exercise does make a little difference at least.
I do try to exercise, though I can't do as much as I would like to. I have problems with fatigue and aching muscles, that get worse if...
any suggestions on how to stimulate appetite and metabolism? (no coffee, though :/)
my digestions are really REALLY slow, and I rarely get hungry -- physically, that this. I suppose years of...
FR: I'm also not particularly fond of peanut butter. I used to like it though, but as most varieties have salt and sugar added, I sort of got out of habit of eating it, and lost the taste for it. ...
pumpkin seed butter in progress, turning out great! it's a dark green, beautiful colour, strong smell and getting increasingly liquid. Soon to be devoured. :D
tahini lemon juice, sounds great for...
you can have Google do the conversions for you! :cool:
just type "X oz in grams", "Y metres in yards" or whatever you want to calculate in the search field (no quotation marks).
Oh! then please e-mail me a jar, he he!!
catspajamas: it's very easy, you just start by grinding yhe almonds at medium/high power until powdered. then you keep grinding for a little while on low speed. Leave for a while (one or two hours...
does anyone of you make your own nut and seed butters?
I just made almond butter, it turned out great! So now I can have it untoasted, just a bit worried that my blender will get overworked... I...
yay! i've made ultrasimple truffles too, just bringing soya cream to the boil, taking off the heat, adding flavour (liquer/peppermint/orange/coffee), then stirring in plain dark chocolate and...
at least it says on the bag of chick peas that I have, that they should never be eaten raw, but always boiled (after soaking).don't know if it would be different with the flour, but it could be...
don't worry, i'm sure there must be plenty o' people that have made delicious falafel - just have to find a good recipe and stick to it. i probably left out all the things i didn't have at home not...
i think canned chick peas don't work very well in falafel - you actually use the peas raw, grinding them coarsely and then letting them soak with the rest of the stuff.
i won't give any recipe...
truffle mousse!! it's fabulous! Well, I didn't actually eat it yet, was just nibbling at it (and drooling over it!), I made it for tonight for when my mother and brother are coming over for dinner....
harpy and pilaf: some days I might eat enough protein. but many days I don't. I've actually also calculated the amount for some "typical" days and my protein intake is often quite low. it is all...
harpy: food combining advocates don't usually suggest not to eat beans or lentils (lentils I really like, by the way!), just that you shouldn't combine them with other starch or protein rich foods,...
as I said, I know you don't have to combine protein. But complete protein is more easily absorbed by the body, so while it isn't an issue for most people, for someone who eats little protein, it is....
mm, you're right. anyway mineral and vitamin needs, as all other nutrient needs, are relative to each person's metabolism, activities, size, age, health etc etc.
i just wish people would feel good...
oh, i didn't even know that existed! i don't think i can find it around here, though... but i'll keep my eyes open. hope it tastes better than the seeds, though! i don't like them, and i really love...
yeah i just noticed the thread name magically changing all of a sudden..!
so white chocolate - i see someone came up with a recipe, that's cool! there is some sort of 'white choc' available to...
lots of the cherry liqueur pralines that there are, are vegan. there are other liqueur pralines too. though those things usually have either too thick a chocolate covering, or too much sugar...
seanymph: sorry to hear you're depressed. is the medication helping you? i was taking sertraline, but didn't really have any benefits of it. i was terrible with remembering to take it though, and...
at the moment, i eat a little too little protein. my main source is soy protein powder, but i don't want to eat that in excess, or rely on only soya for protein. i eat nuts and seeds, but at the end...
but also in moderate amounts - seitan is gluten, and in people with a predisposition to coeliac's disease or gluten intolerance, eating much gluten may trigger these conditions. i suppose most things...
to tigerlily/everyone else,
i'm sure you were making a more general comment, but as it came just after my post on what i had eaten, i take it that that made you feel uncomfortable. i definitely...
I don't think there is any shame in eating much. I used to eat loads, really really loads. unfortunately, my body didn't like it...:/. but everyone's metabolism is different (and the younger you...
apple,
plain home-made soya yoghurt w/ camelina oil,
a large 'kind salad' (it's a really tummy kind salad =) and some quinoa w/ 'fried' onion, carrot, broccoli and corn (it's not really fried as i...
mm, all meds are tested on animals. but i don't think taking meds is supporting testing on animals, as it's a question of legal requirements. so there's no way of 'pressurising' companies to stop...
i have in the past, a few different ones. although really i could only say i was taking one kind of antideps for any time worthy of mention, as the others i accepted as prescriptions from my doctor...
what about maltitol? would anyone know? i've not heard sth as dramatic about maltitol as about aspartame and acesulfame-k... but it's an artificial sweetener too, so it would be good to know..
i made some vegan 'bailey liqueur', well, it was creamy liqueur. but at least it doesn't have coconut, so for those who don't want the coconut flavour it might be worth trying. no coffee and the rest...
no =/. i've got the metabolism of a sloth. it's been really hard to adapt to my body's needs, as i enjoy eating very much. but if i eat much more than that, i have to wait forever for my body to...
