Hey Andreas,
I'm having this aversion to veggies lately. I can't even think about eating another salad and I'm starting to dread eating vegatables. I have fixed them all kinds of ways but I'm just so tired of them. I'm thinking about juicing for awhile and wanted to see what your opinion was. If I go that route is there a book you could recommend on what veggies to juice together? I'm a vatta so I can follow your guidelines of the veggies I should eat. I'm not sure about mixing them or if I should do one veggie at a time. I think part of my problem is frustration. I have done 6 LF so far, changed the way I eat and really doing all the right things and I just don't seem to be improving. I'm so tired of the this dizzy/motion stuff and feeling icky all the time. Everything just seems like a chore and I know it wouldn't if I was seeing some improvement. I have done 8 colonics so far, 6 LF's, kidney cleanse, parasite cleanse and I'm eating really well. I'm also doing accupuncture once a month. Any ideas?? I do #7 LF tonite and I really hope some good changes will come my way. Thanks Gayle

This is a reply to # 490,736I can relate, as I had the same problem before.
Juicing may not solve the problem.
"Vegetarian" doesn't mean vegetables only. You also need whole grains (buckweat, brown rice, oatmeal, etc), nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc) and legumes (peas, beans, etc).
I eat 2 meals with grains and vegetables (breakfast and lunch), snack on almonds and raisins or fruit in the afternoon, have small vegetable dish (like veggie soup) for dinner.
Works great for me and my family.
Hope, this helps.
Good luck.
Vickie.

I've never been a veggie person, but found that adding spices makes them very tasty.
If you go to your library, they may have ayurvedic cook books. I have a book called Ayurvedic Healing Cuisine by Harish Johari. It's a great place to start if you haven't done so already.
This one time HUGE meat eater, now loves basmati rice cooked with tumeric, fennel seeds, cumin and salt with some unsalted butter added after cooking. :)

Thermos Lunch
1/4 cup split mung dahl beans
1/4 cup basmati rice
1/2 cup fresh chopped vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, broccoli (whatever is right for your dosha, in season)
1 teaspoon vata or pitta churna (spices right for your dosha
2 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon ghee
Heat ghee in a frying pan. Add churna and vegetables and sauté for several minutes. Add the rice and dahl and stir. Add the boiling water and cook only for a few minutes. Pour everything in a stainless steel thermos* and close lid tightly. Keep closed for about 4 hours. It will be done cooking in the thermos by lunch-time.
The NISSAN line the thermos has a lovely steel wide mouth one in two great sizes! I tried it and it works just fine...have to experiment with times for different grains and beans though!

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing that Deb. I have always been a little concerned about using a thermos for hot items because I was worried about chemicals leaching in from the plastics. Have you noticed anything like that with your thermos?
Thanks,

This is a reply to # 490,790I notice she's using a stainless steel thermos, I assume some of the metals leech in, but well... it's a tossup... not that many things that are portable for small portions of food that are "safe". I suppose if you take a cold lunch you can put the food on durable paper inside plastic, with the paper as a barrier to plastic. The thermos kichadi stuff IS a great idea huh?
By the way, saw some awesome japanese clay pots for many types of cooking today, you can boil, steam or stirfry on the stovetop, or put them in the oven, although the entire thing gets really hot so you can't touch it or you'll burn yourself. I had never heard of them before but now I'll have to think about getting one, they seemed reasonable priced. Attractive, too.- Re: On the GO containers... azovsky

I looked and there is a "Recipe" forum here. Perhaps we can start posting someayurvedic recipes there?
