10:55 a.m.ludicn: beans, lentils, etc. buy them in a bag, cook a big pot, eat for a week - there's a good deal of your protein
ludicn: brown rice, millet, keenwa (I know that's spelled wrong, but the word sounds the way I spelled it)
ludicn: there's your whole grains
ludicn: cook a big pot of that and eat also with the beans & such
ludicn: lots of vegetables - steam those or cook them also and eat with the other
ludicn: a few potatos & tomatos, those are your night shades and you shouldn't eat them every day, only a few days a week
ludicn: if that
ludicn: once a week can be enough
ludicn: greens
ludicn: raw spinich, romaine lettuce, other leafy greens
ludicn: those give you your vitamins and minerals
ludicn: eat them fresh like salad
prophecy b o y: how do you eat the raw spinach
prophecy b o y: oh okay
prophecy b o y: cool
ludicn: or make a whole salad with other veggie
prophecy b o y: hmm...cool
ludicn: it just tastes like lettuce - most people don't know that
prophecy b o y: yeah i know
prophecy b o y: i was just wondering how to prepare it, you know
prophecy b o y: ?
prophecy b o y: cuz most spinach i eat is cooked...i forgot about them in salads
ludicn: or substitute it in sandwiches, it's good liek that too
ludicn: sandwiches on whole grain bread, mind you
prophecy b o y: of course
ludicn: you also want to get maybe some yogurt and some pickles
ludicn: those are your bacteria foods
ludicn: eat those a couple times a week too
prophecy b o y: cool
prophecy b o y: yeah
prophecy b o y: this is great...
prophecy b o y: more than enough info
prophecy b o y: thanks!
ludicn: also dried fruit and nuts - almonds, walnuts, etc,
ludicn: those are your good fats
ludicn: the nuts
ludicn: and the dried fruits have iron and fiber
prophecy b o y: how often should i go grocery shopping?
prophecy b o y: like, how often do they keep?
prophecy b o y: the greens especially
ludicn: once a week for the fresh foods
ludicn: everything else will last a long time - more than a month probably
prophecy b o y: okay, cool
prophecy b o y: i need to start bringing lunch
ludicn: oh except the yogurt too
prophecy b o y: yeah
prophecy b o y: what's millet?
ludicn: yeah I do this sometimes, I'll cook a big pot of pinto beans and rice and bring it to work and eat it every day, some days have salad or sandwiches when I don't feel like beans
prophecy b o y: and keenwa?
ludicn: they're like rice, in a way, but they're light and fluffy and smaller
ludicn: grain
ludicn: that you cook
prophecy b o y: do you cook it like rice? or do you boil them and strain it?
ludicn: you cook it like rice
prophecy b o y: in a rice cooker, too?
ludicn: hmmm... I would assume so. If you buy some, it'll say on the package how to cook it. (I'm such a stickler for instructions, almost too much)
prophecy b o y: yeah i hear that
prophecy b o y: wow, i'm all excited
prophecy b o y: my mom's gonna freak out
prophecy b o y: she keeps cooking and i won't eat anything she cooks anymore
prophecy b o y: lol
prophecy b o y: she already thinks i'm weird
prophecy b o y: but a vegetarian in a filipino household just baffles her
prophecy b o y: she still doesn't understand
prophecy b o y: she cooked chicken the other night
prophecy b o y: after repeatedly telling her i don't eat meat anymore
prophecy b o y: and she was still like, "oh, but it's good. try this.."
ludicn: hahaha.... sometimes, you know, parents just don't understand
ludicn: hahah
prophecy b o y: ah, quoting the wise william smith, i see...
ludicn: you got it .
ludicn: hahah
prophecy b o y: lol
