Refeed and being a Vege

[Flirtygerty76]

Hi all,

I think this week is going to be my last week on TFR or maybe the week after depending on weight loss results next Tuesday. I ony want to refeed for a short time before going back on TFR.

Therefore i am going to be refeeding and i am a little worried because i am a vegetarian. Is it possible to refeed being a vege, are there any fellow vegetarians who have succesfully followed the refeed and maintenance who can help me?

Many thanks

Sorry I cant help, but I am sure there will be others who can. The only thing I can recommend to use is quorn, I know that is permitted, otherwise, sorry I cant help you.

I was reading the threads on refeed at the top of this page and it says for veges to eat tofu or quorn!! good luck x

The quorn mince is fine..

Im not sure about the sausages (I wouldnt for the first two weeks)

Cook it in a wok but dont add oil or anything!

 

[wellandgood]

what about tofu? the quorn mince and chicken style pieces will be ok.

 

[Flirtygerty76]

I have never had Tofu before in my life, what do ye ou do with it? LOL

I will maybe try just dry frying the quorn mince with some spices or something, thanks

I dont know anything about tofu either, never had it.

Quorn mince just cooks easily in any sauces, just use it like a bolognaise mixed with your sauces etc, it cooks really quickly.

Thanks Kered, i do use Quorn mince quite alot anyway as i love spagetti bol. But i cant have any sauces on my first day can i? And so im a bit concerned about what to eat on my first couple of days. I think i will buy some tofu tomorrow and try that.

Oh I see what you mean, no you wont have sauces the first few days, but have a look at the packets instructions, I am sure you could just fry it with a little frylite spray and even add a mushroom or two, maybe a little onion for flavouring.

Just been having a nosey on the Quorn website and comparing the mince to the bangers.

The bangers actually have less calories and carbs so do you think i wil be ok to have them also?

Wow the Quorn website is really good and i have worked out i can use a few of the quorn products to refeed.

Here is my day 1 (which starts tomorrow)

Mon 20/4/09

Breakfast = Lipotrim vanilla shake (142cal)

Lunch = Lipotrim Strawberry shake (142cal)

Dinner = 2 x Quorn sausages (57 cal each)
small breakfast bowl salad (50 cals)
Balsamic vinegar 3 tsp (15 cals)

Total Cals for the day = 463 cals

Does this seem ok?

Tofu:

Taifun Organic Smoked Tofu with Almonds and Sesame Seeds

I get this in my local health food shop and it is delicious. Just slice it or cut into cubes and add to salad - its already cooked.
Or chop it up and add it to stir fry.

 

[Flirtygerty76]

Witchie that sounds delicious, i wont be able to get to town to the health food store until Saturday, but i am definately going to get some.

Thank you.

Flirty I just had two quorn sausages - so good
I've had them before but pre-lt...everything tastes better after doesn't it!!
I wouldn't have thought about incorporating them into my refeed though so thanks! x

 

[Flirtygerty76]

Your welcome Danielle, glad you enjoyed them! :O)

And your right everything tastes different....but better!
