Hi,
I’m new to the programme and vegetarian. The information in the programme says that tofu is one of the ‘Never should eat’ foods; why then are there recipes for it included? And why is the fact that quorn is a completely manufactured and processed food ignored? There’s nothing natural about it. I was optimistic that this programme might finally be the one to provide realistic advice to vegetarians, in whose diet carb level is often a real problem, but I find no more help here than I have anywhere else. Do any of the nutrition experts have any ideas other than beans to provide the protein without going down the processed route? Thanks.Hi, cathw. The foods “never to eat” are undesirable versions of popular foods for which there are better choices – tofu, for example, is fine if the soy is organic and the processing does not involve hexane. Quorn was added because many of our vegetarian members requested it, and of the meat substitutes available, it is not among the worst. With regard to vegetarian protein sources, nuts, edamame, fermented soy (i.e. tempeh, fuyu), seitan, and vegan “dairy” products are featured, and items such as mushrooms and seaweeds are “free” and can be added wherever the menu states “Vegetables of Your Choice”.
