Forum : Recipes, Meal Planning Ideas, and Kitchen Tips : Recipes http://www.pcrmfoundation.org/ghcForum/ If I may as a personal question  who told you that you needed 60 grams of protein per day, and who told your friend that they need 100? 60 grams might be understandable, if you are a body-builder, but 100 grams is far more than [u]any[/u] health organization or doctor recommends, and can result in overtaxation of the kidneys, called ketosis, which is a dangerous condition. The website I mentioned earlier, [url=http://www.veganhealth.org/]Vegan Health[/url] is probably the best, most balanced site on the web to find science-based information on plant-based diets. If you want to get really detailed, I recommend reading [u]The China Study[/u] by T. Colin Campbell  but it is very scientific, so be prepared! http://www.pcrmfoundation.org/ghcForum/messages.cfm?messageid=9197EAB8-E2E9-FC0B-32C3D8F62D57BC5E&r=1 2010-07-02T05:18:59-04:00 Search for Protein Hi Lindy, If you eat a balanced, whole-food vegan diet, you will more than meet your need for protein. The website Vegan Health has some great information about protein: [url=http://veganhealth.org/articles/protein]Vegan Health[/url] Here is another link talking about vegan nutritional needs: [url=http://vegrd.vegan.com/pages/article.php?id=520]Virginia Messina, RD[/url] The main thing to remember is to eat a balanced diet, containing correct portions of all 4 food groups. Don't eat a ton of refined carbs, or a ton of fat, etc. If you eat a balanced, healthy diet, then YOU will be balanced and healthy! :D http://www.pcrmfoundation.org/ghcForum/messages.cfm?messageid=91910391-A405-D8CA-2E50E9AF9958FF29&r=2 2010-07-02T05:11:26-04:00 Search for Protein Could someone please help me ?

After lisening to Dr. barnard, I'd really like to try a 3 week vegan diest but my dietary needs are for 60 grams of protein a day ( and I have a friend that needs 100 grams of protein). Now we are getting protein from animals and dairy. Are there any suggestions on how a vegan diet can provide me with these needed proteins? Are there any books or websites or suggestions?

It has changed recently but is still good. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom there is a link that says 'oldsite' or oldfatfreevegan' or something like that. That takes you directly to the former site that lists all the recipes. The new one doesnt list them BUT you can search for just about anything and it will pop up.

The book makes a lot of sense to me and I look forward to seeing great results based on the recommendations. After being diagnosed with Type 2 (08/09) I immediately lost 25 lbs after changing my diet, including carb counting. I have become very disciplined with my food intake through the simple process of keeping a food journal. I'm curious, is there a similar way to track my food with this program? For instance, I ate 2 dairy, 2 fruit, 5 starches, 5 veggies, 6 oz protein, and minimal fats every day (or as close as I could get). This regime of logging my food kept me on track every single day. I would love a similar method of tracking...I know I should shoot for 40 grams of fiber/day. Is there anything else I could "count" to keep me on track every day? Thank you for any suggestions.
