Hey Sinead!
First off, congrats about the new job and new house and things! I know you said it had you all stressy and your tummy wasn't very happy so I'm sorry about that but that's totally understandable! That is a lot of changes! But still, hopefully your tummy and your brain will figure out it's a GOOD thing and they'll get onboard, hee hee.
I too would like to cut down on carbs, but not take them out entirely. I couldn't just eat chicken and salad, or tummy would be very angry. But I am trying to reduce carbs with every meal, and I have switched from regular bread and pasta to whole wheat so hopefully that'll make a little difference.
I'm so happy for you that it is working for you, though! That's great.
I am definitely trying to eat more "good" food. I am having such a hard time with fruits and veggies because I bloody react to almost everything and then can't swallow for the rest of the night. It's driving me crazy! But yeah, skipping meals is definitely something I am trying not to do. Oh well, can just keep trying to go up from here!
Cheers!
Steph

And continuing motivation. Positive feedback and visible results are so rewarding and encouraging.
Way to go, Tina. What are your favourite vegan protein choices, these days?
Lately, mine tend to be grilled tempeh or tofu in some kind of marinade, when I get in mega protein mode. I love making a white bean dip, too. It's so hot, though, lately, that I'm hitting the fruit more than anything else and making crazy smoothies.
Kate.

Thanks Kate! Visible results make it all worth while! And positive feedback rules!
For protein I've done a few things: made a salad with cubed todu, chickpeas and kidney beans with a low fat balsalmic vinigrette and diced cucumber with red onion. I've been having tofu scrambler for breakfast most days. On the days I don't I have low carb bread with soy sausage.
I'm also big on soy "chicken" nuggets and veggie burgers on the grill.
I make myself a bluebbery soy smoothie often too.
I never seem to be low on my protein intake.
What kind of smoothis do you make, and also what do you use for marinade for your tofu and tempeh???

Like you, I tend to go for a balsalmic dressing for most "salads." I also love dijon or spicy mustardy kinds of dressings. Actually, I generally do something thai-style with tofu/tempeh with rice vinegar for tang and limes, cilantro, ginger/garlic. I also often coat with toasted sesame seeds, too. Miso is great for sauces/marinades and I'm starting to get into spicy fruity things for sauces/dressings/marinades. (I've been "peachy" lately and berries are great spiced, too or with curry, I note)
I generally go either strawberry or raspberry--my detox cocktails! I like to toss in a little peach or papaya or mango for body. Often I'll leave it exclusively fruit or add some almond milk.
Actually, I think I might get a soy protein powder because often I get into phases where I couldn't be bothered to eat traditional vegan protein foods and I'm lazy or just manufacturing an "issue!"
I'm going through this phase where anything that tastes of mock meat gives me anxiety or repulses me. Tonight I steamed up some endaname and tossed them with sesame seeds and sea salt and ate them with some portabellas.
Oh! I love "stuffing" veggies with crazy tofu and bean concoctions. Lentils and chickpeas are amazing with zucchini and eggplant. So is tofu.
Kate.
