Vegetarian Vegan foods that "Get Things Moving"? Apr 09 2009

HI,

I find that eating a good bowl [ at least 3 cups] of air popped plain popcorn in the evening tops me up for the day and by the morning, things are moving along well in the solids department!

And water - you do really need to make sure you get enough liquids in the day to keep things moving.

My husband also makes up a really great soup - which can be used on its own or an a base for more creative meals - video clip and recipe here:

All the best!

 

Foods SPLENDA, Stevia, Suclralose, ASPARTAME, Sugar Alcohol... dieter's dream or deadly ingredients? Oct 16 2008

I agree that Stevia - especially the actual plant - needs to be classified differently that the other products listed.  I am not sure how I feel about Splenda.  The rest I avoid as much as possible - I don't like the taste of most, and to some I have, ahem, digestive reactions.

I have been trying to cut back on any heavily processed foods - not 100% successful by any means - but I don't buy any sugar anymore, but I still have black strap molasses in the house for baking and honey and maple syrup.

I do think we need to examine why we need so much sweetening added to our foods - which is the journey I am on.  The occasional treat will always be part of my life, but I am trying to not have it part of every meal.
