You may want to try tempeh. It is a fermented soy product, so I'm not sure if it will agree with you if soy bothers you. But, (if memory serves me correctly), one serving contains about 20g protein. It may be worth a try!

Happy belated Birthday!!!

<I wonder if some macrobiotic suppliers might carry it? I know they carry <a lot of different kinds of green teas. Thanks for the tip, Kathyrn! I'll have to give it a try. I did find Sencha once locally at an Asian Food Supermarket. However, it was a Chinese tea, not Japanese, and did not...

I am a green tea fanatic! Love all of the Tazo brands. I just tried Salada "Earl Green". It was an interesting change! My favorite green tea is toasted green tea (Sencha). Sometimes we splurge and import it from Japan. I love the green tea with toasted rice, but haven't had it since I...

Funny, I was just reading about sprouting, and was thinking of giving it a try! Have you tried lentil sprouts? I may try them first, or perhaps mung beans.

My new kitten, Bruce, will not leave me alone when I try to exercise. He tries to stuff himself under the step and "play" with me while I'm trying to step! Usually, I have to lock him in another room until I'm finished. Hoping that he'll grow out of it... I have another cat, Spicey, who...

It looks like we'll be getting a Concept 2 for Christmas (or the New Year)! I had seen advertisements for rowing machines that use water flywheels, but they are very expensive. I wasn't sure if they were worth the extra money. It seems that the Concept 2 is more moderately priced in...

I am thinking about adding a rowing machine to my home gym. Does anyone own a home version or have any recommendations? Any advice is welcome!

They are not protein bars, but I like Bora-Bora bars. Like some of the bars that Kathyrn mentioned, they are made of nuts, seeds, fruit and natural sweetners like rice syrup and agave syrup. They have no preservatives and have fewer sugar carbs than most protein bars. I find them to be quite...

Those are some really great stories! I'm glad to hear that many other cats go for the plastic. A few months ago, we scheduled Nekko for teeth cleaning. Since she couldn't have food or water after midnight, we picked up the food bowls and water bowls. In the morning, I noticed that my DH...

I thought that my Nekko was the only kitty who liked plastic. That is a sweet idea about the plastic bags in the alley. Nekko was about a year old when we got her from the ASCPA, so she might have a similar experience. I have heard that some kitties suffer from a form of pico (eating...

One of my cats also loves cantaloupe! She eats small pieces, or just licks the juice off. She also steals lettuce. Another one of my kittys eats tofu, beans, etc. But the really weird thing she eats is plastic bags, like from the grocery storex( ! We never leave them lying around, but by...

RE: Hi Emily! I did change my diet after reading the book. I was doing Atkins, and my weight loss had not only stalled out, but I was beginning to gain weight. I have to admit that I do not follow his guidelines religiously, but I do eat mostly plant products now and try to eat clean. I...

Another Marylander!

I only starting exercising regularly about 2 years ago. What worked for me was starting with a very modest goal, like walking 5 miles a week. I made myself stick to the goal: no excuses. Then I slowly started increasing my goals. I now do Cathe for 1 to 1.5 hours, 5x per week (usually}( )...
