Source of Protein in Vegetarian diet

HI dear,

i would be wise to go to a clinical nutritionist and tell her or him what you suffer from so they can plan out a whole diet plan for you to follow and also they will be able to guide you more on your protien intake.

hope it helps and also google to get more information.

love
alpa:cheers

 

hi kalyanishanti,

for a veg diet,

1. b'fast - idli , dosa, pongal, with a dhal based chutney. Note that idli , pongal also have enough amt of proteins in the form of moong dhal or urad dhal.

2. lunch - chappathi with rajma or any lentil curry, and a cup or veg.
rice with thick sambhar filled with veg . A gravy of veg with soya chunks [ called mealmaker ] or any lentil say dry or fresh peas, chick peas, or whatever.

Coming to th eamt, take equal amts of chappathi, veg and proteins. By that i mean, if u take a cup of rice [measure and take ], take 1 cup each of veg and protein . Since, u're told to avoid milk products i'm not suggesting curd. But , u said that u are taking curd occasionally ; so it's upto y'r discretion.

3. for dinner - go for a non- filling one. some tiffin varieties like bansi rava idli or dosa, oats dosa, ragi based tiffin .

Remember that protein based foods take a long time to digest . Although non-filling , they don't make u lethargic or tired either.

hope it helps.

Can u also tell me abt the dietary management of colitis . it may be of use to many others.

 

About the dairy sensitivity......I want to tell you what happened with my dairy sensitivity. Back in 97 on my first trip to India I was put on anti malarial medicine and by the time I got to India I was feeling really good. Got back to the states, did the four weeks post trip meds and then stopped. When I stopped I was feeling bad again and dairy sensitivity was back. I called my doc and he did the fecal tests and they called me even before the cultures were finished time wise as I was over run with humanis blastocystis. The is normally considered a normal resident of the intestines in that most people can throw it off but apparently I could not. (I am quite certain that I had it for about ten years.) They put me on Yodoxin for 21 days (no side effects, nothing) and after I finished I had no dairy sensitivity. To date I am not having trouble with dairy.

 

kalyani,

pls don't mention. Sure waiting for y'r dietary advises on the topic.
