[acb-diabetics] sources of protein

[Nancy Matulis]

I think of beans,milk,nuts,cheese,& tofu. We need to pay attention to portion control with these foods.
Where do vegans get their protein? It's simple. The plant-based diet includes a wide variety of whole foods consisting of beans, whole-grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, along with products made from these natural foods, such as tofu, tempeh, and meat analogs. Those who believe plant protein is inferior to animal protein may be surprised to learn that plant proteins contain the same 22 amino acids as animal proteins.

Nuts also have good natural fats, but I have heard that only a very small serving of them is needed. I like to eat vegetarian as much as possible. The problem is that homemade recipes--especially when someone doesn't measure ingredients--are tricky to figure out carb amounts for. Most people don't understand that diabetics--especially people with Type 1--use carbohydrates to determine insulin and not glycemic index, which is quite frustrating. I will stop ranting now. <Emoticon1.gif>
