Hey Everyone !

This afternoon I had cleaned and made 2 bunches of collard greens. No meat, I used lots of garlic ( minced ) and some olive oil to sautee the garlic in . Them added the greens to cook slowly, so I had some brn rice about 1/2 cup. I admit I was somewhat hungry today . But that satisfied me. Now I'm getting ready to make a fresh fruit smoothie with banana and pineapple, berries, and some PB. Good evening to everyone .... btw I feel great so far

Hey Kat.....(thats Pittsburgh for Hi)

I eat mostly raw......but and but is the key word here, I have trouble feeling satisfied with hunger, and then I do crazy things like eat 12 peaches.....I am a vegetarian, only because I do not like meat. I especially hate to smell it cook or tear it off a bone. However, I will not *die* if I eat a piece. I do eat dairy, but not alot. Especially milk.

Just trying to explain to you my eating habits.....so if I say I used whey (vegans do use whey, it's dairy) or I had yogurt/again X to a vegan, you'll understand.

I love garlic......in a green smoothie, its actually a little sweet.

YB thanks for replying. For me I have to ease my way threw this, but I'm not too crazy about meat either. I was hungry and my roomie bought these greens and had some brn rice it was something for to add a little substance. I look fwd to learning more here. So what are the powders I need to buy. I too am lactose intolerant n I have type 2 diabetes. But all in all I 'm trying and already eliminating the meat I feel better. Funny I'm not craving sweets or meat .

Health nut, in regards to my own health, I am....nutritionist, I am not. If you are a diabetic, you are eating too much fruit (thats sugar too)...more veggies girl!

Pineapple is very sweet, be careful with that. (although it has a ton of wonderful enzymes and fiber) but you have to watch your sugar. I know nothing about lactose. I just do not like milk. The internet is a wonderful tool.

I don't use powders, greco does. I only use b pollen, scroll through the thread, and read why I use b pollen.
