Answer 1

I understand you...im not vegetarian but I am a struggling dieter (have been for the last month lol)
Eating carbohydrates have that effect on you because your budy burns it faster and it leaves you hungry very fast.

so When you eat pasta, try to eat some kind of protein that way it will keep you fuller longer. I dont know if you like toffu, toffu is a good choice but parsely is excellent protein.

so dont just eat carbs and vegs. add protein to your meals and use more complex carbs so your body stays full longer.

Make this salad...
cook the orzo pasta (looks like rice)
and chopped parsely,
tomato,
onion
cucumber
mix it all together
and dress it with olive oil and lemon juice...
is very good and tastes good.

Soups are good too
get the vegetarian broth and bring it to boil
add 1/4 cup of barley
when is cooked add the vegs you like, such as zuccini, squash, pumpkin (great for carb and is good when you are trying to lose wt) and parsely at the end.

Mushroom/Spaggetti
Best if u use whole weath pasta
buy the Classica tomato sauce with olives

Sautee onion, redd peppers,and when is all soft add portabella mushrooms and the white cap mushrooms and then add the sauce and let steam for at least 15 min.
Cook the pasta according to direction. and enjoy!!!

Zucchini Classical spaggetti sauce

4 med zucchini
6 garlic cloves (minced)
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tbs basil
1/4 cup olive oil

Sautee the olive oil and do not let it get burned, when u can smell the garlic, add the zucchini (cut length wise) let it sautee and when is a little golden, take it out and set it aside.
Add the tomato to the pan wiht the remaining oil and garlic and add the pepper and basil. Let it simmer for 25 min. Then turn off the stove and add the zuchini and the cheese. Serve it with spinach spagetti.

It is good.

Hope you enjoy these recipes.

Go for a stir fry. Get some of your favorite veggies a little bit of oil and a hot skillet, non-stick or a wok. Add some soy sauce and towards the end use some mushroom flavored stir fry sauce (oyster sauce replacement).

Things to add are broccoli, snow peas, bok choy, asparagus, peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, cabbage or whatever is looking good in produce. Other additions are black bean sauce, garlic, ginger. Be creative and change the ingredients up often.

Cut some tofu into blocks, marinate in soy sauce and fry in some oil until crisp and golden brown on each side (at least cover the bottom with oil). Be careful of splattering, use a grease screen. You can slice these up and add into your stir fry or have them separate. You can also saute smaller blocks with soy sauce and fine mince of lemon grass.

Make a soup with a tamarind base, or use mushroom flavored buillon from asian market. Add tomatoes, bean sprouts, cilantro, tofu, and whatever else suits you.

Make a cold spinach salad. First fry up the spinach in a teaspoon of oil. Let this cool. Make a vinagrette with soy sauce, lemon juice, or vinager, sesame oil and a little sugar and garlic. Sprinkle with some fresh or toasted sesame seeds.

The best soy sauce is "Maggi" you can get this at the Asian market for 5-7 bucks.

Look for vegan recipes, using while grains. The big thing is to remember that if you eat whole grains, they have much more fiber and fill us up more. Also have a good sized salad with dinner and low cal dressings. Also some sort of soup. Overall, you;ll eat better, more complex carbohydrates and less weight gained. Vegans also have a cream filling for cakes which is non dairy which is delicious. I know. My daughter is vegan and she cooks up a storm. Incidentally, seitan can imitate chicken cutlets for chicken dishes.
