Vegetarians....
there might just be something to all the fuss.
my health has been ermm well put it this way it was difficult tying shoe laces and i felt miserable as fek. i finally gave in and went on a sort of diet. all i have been eating is lentil, leek and carrot Soup with seeded/wholegrain bread sometimes with a slice of very thin cheese sandwich. been at it for less than two weeks and i have lost half a stone and i feel around 30% better already. i haven't used my angina spray for 2 days and i have a little more energy. today my nose is less blocked and i can smell again. i also take nitrate tablets and today i reduced my dose by half a tablet and i still have not use my spray. my diet before was pretty good and i cooked fresh every night and occasionally a fish supper say once in two/three weeks. no i'm not turning into a vegie but if the improvements keep going i will only eat meat rarely. |

Re: Vegetarians....
I know a few fat vegetarians .... and if not done properly can cause health problems, but veganism is worse.

Re: Vegetarians....
Thaw and marinade the quorn mince before you cook it Bibs. The quorn chunks are very nice cooked with leek and mushroom in a bake or pie.

Re: Vegetarians....
it was the ready to use stuff. if it were not for the texture i would have liked it. it reminded me of that realllllyyyy bad frozen mince you get out of farmfoods that i mistakenly bought years ago.
next up is tofu.. btw, i'm not turning into a vegetarian but i'm liking the health benefits. i have lost a stone, feel fitter and not always hungry. |

Re: Vegetarians....
My wife is vegetarian, and likes quorn ... I'm not a fan myself (and apparently people can gain an intolerance for it). There really is nothing like meat, unfortunately. For a lasagne, I'll use half quorn mince and half minced mushroom. As Gary said, it really needs to be flavoured. Unfortunately, I like Tofu even less.

Re: Vegetarians....
Tofu, even more than Quorn mince benefits from a good marinade for a few hours.

Re: Vegetarians....
Nice one Bibs!
With not getting out quite so much this year my weight has crept up too much. I'm now at the weight I was when I had my last heart attack = 17st. The angina has niggled for a few weeks now.
