Awesome resource for plant based Proteins:)



Recommended Posts

Love this guide. Planning to replace as much animal Protein as possible with plant Protein.

Have been studying the diets of people with the longest lifespans in the world. Lot of healthy fats, low animal protein, lots of complex carbs and plant protein. Low cancer and heart disease rates.

If you're looking for some new and exciting protein options...check this list out...has recipes, too:)

Not to be negative or anything but that website is extremely biased trying to push an agenda.

Listing popcorn as a Protein that's as good as meat? Far as I'm concerned that gives that website 0 credibility

yes, it's from a vegetarian site, but that's hardly the point.

The point was that lots of awesome plant based Proteins exist that might provide a little variety and culinary splendor to an otherwise repetitive animal based palate.

Meh, to each their own.

Personally, I'm attracted to the longevity and health benefits associated with Mediterranean diet and other low animal Protein, low animal fat diets. Not for everyone for sure...but plant based protein sources make a nice culinary change even for meat eaters. I'm pretty omnivorous. I like a little lean meat in my diet, too.

Want to put your chia seeds and flax on a nice steak? Add some nuts and pumpkin seeds to your chicken salad? You have my blessing. LOL:)

By the way, 3 cups of air popped pop corn has three grams of Protein for only 30 calories. That's damned good. I doubt I'm gonna be eating 3 cups of popcorn anytime soon....but this list wasn't exactly made for sleevers. For general nutrition, it's an awesome snack.

My nutritionist has an entire alternate plan for vegetarian sleevers. Balanced and complete. I'm not a vegetarian, but she is, and she was thrilled that I wanted a copy of that strategy, too. I go a little from each list...I like balance:) Can't wait to have my chia pudding back. Just saw a cool recipe for chia seed pumpkin oats packed with Protein. Looks like an awesome Breakfast and I can't wait to try it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
