Speaking of SOY i spilt it ALL OVER MY LAPTOP so I have been away for a while
I'm feeling GREAT on this IBS diet! You dont need the gross details, but at least its bearable to stay in an unventilated room with me now.
So yes, reviews... Haves a few
Soy Life Soy Yogurt - Vanilla and Peach&Mango
Overall - a little more exy than normal yogurt, no-where near as 'soy-y' as I thought, this tastes a bit like diet yogurt (except its FULL of sugar) that is a little off BUT NOT IN A BAD WAy. Just no yogurt tang or creaminess. It makes a good subm especially seeing as its got a fair bit of calcium. It was tasty enough. I had it plain, in overnight oats and on this morning's breakfast pizza (more about that later)
Australian Eatwell Chickpea and Spinach vegetarian sausages
Oh how i miss sausage sizzles - a tube of unidentifiable meat encased in a white nutritionally empty piece of fluff, drizzled with a sugar and sodium packed sauce. No seriously, I loves it. But its better healthy! These tasted pretty good. A bit dry and they dont have that outside case so they tend to fall apart. Last night I put them and some onion (and mango kabobs!) on the griller, witha little fry light on baking paper, and had with a little bit of sauce on wonderwhite high fibre bread. YUM. Tasted like sausages, with a more 'earthy' tone. I had them microaved today on cous cous and not as good. But edible and filling. Also a little exy compared to sausages, so wait until they are reduced (happens often in little stores as not many veggos around) I want to try thr sweet chilli next!
So Good ice-cream caramel
YUM. I love soy. They boy even said its edible. Wish there was a real swirl of caramel and not just colours... and some calcium. Once again exxy. more cals than grams each as usual. 40g scoop is a good little treat.
I'm struggling to keep up my calcium. Any ideas peeps? Other than lots of soy milk? Esp in snacks. Also have to use up some peaches
Log
B- Breakfast pizza - half a pita topped with soy yogurt, cherries, mango, peaches and sprunkled with Just right. Messy yummy.
L - Veggie sausages on cous cous with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and pineapple. calcium orange juice.
S - The boy will make a smoothie, putting in my friendly ingredients first (banana, watermelon, mango, peach) and I will stir in a little soy yogurt. He'll then add kiwifruit, rockmelon and yogurt to make an awesome treat for his poor mouth which is lacking 4 wisdom teeth.
D - @ wagamama and the first solid food the boy will have since de-wisdoming. I will have the Yasai yaki soba assuming the cals about 600 (altho its only 4.5 points. I dont see how this can be when the tama rice is 16.5, wish they had cals up!)
S- So good caramel ice-cream. WHY DONT YOU ADD CALCIUM SANITARIUM. Can only have a little so I can fit in Special K and glass of Soy life hi cal+ milk.
Does anyone know any good calcium fortifed cereal that goes well as a snack (vogels is good but its like eating twigs.) I wish they fortified their clusters!

Soy to the world!
I'm back, baby, and on the new IBS diet.
Man its hell. Well its not so bad if you have control over your meals, but when you dont its hard. First few days I couldnt get to any snacks so I have major sugar withdrawel (and prolly balanceing cals out withdrawel. I'm used to eating every 3 hours!) I barly had any fruit eaitehr, so the sugar hit hard.
FYI its a
NO - red meat, dairy (NOOO), fats (n.p except its not low fat, its super low!)
Eat with caution (have with soluble fibre) - insoluble fibre eg. celery, skins of fruit, pumpkin, anything fibery that isnt mushy like oats. So even salads I cant munch on!!! I broke that rule a few times. I wasnt going to have an all white dinner. White fish + rice. Need me greens!
I was really tired at first as I had barley any nutrients :( my first meals were pasta and pumpkin and bread-bread-bread and carrots. Then I finally got some chicken and fish (chicken, fish, then fish fish, chicken chicken, tuna for the next days) and have balanced out. Lots of less bad IBS side effects but I still have up to 4 weeks (aiming for 2)
Anyway, thought today I'd look at the non dairy options for you all. Introducing SOY! In terms of health there's a LOT of ka-hooey going on about soy making men gay and giving people cancer, but I hear similar stuff about normal milk, sugar, fake sugar, eggs, ANYTHING! I think if you're ot used to soy TAKE IT SLOW. It'll give you gas. But I was brought up with a bit of it, esp through tofu, and it was a staple part of my diet until now, when it forms a large part of my "meat" and calcium source.
Milk
Too easy. Soy! I loves it. However, many don't like the taste. If its just the lactose that gives you a problem, try whey milk or Lidells Lactose free milk. If you're vegan or dairy intol try rice or oat milk. Make sure you check the calcium content - its not inherent, they have to add it. You can also get almond milk or make it yourself! My fav soy milks are Soy Milky (more soy-y than milky) and So Good Essential which has heaps of calcium, omega 3's etc etc. You can also change your recipes - some dont need milk. Ever had water on your cereal? Its not too bad! Juice I find too sweet but some like it. Or you can mush up banana, heat it and mix with milk alternative for a thick winter breafast goop to mix cereal in. Here's how to make your own soy and almond milk. Mm natural
Yogurt
You can get lactose free yogurt (I tried the vaalia - tastes fine!) but also soy yogurt. I'll give you a review tomorrow. I Chose the soy life brand as it has almost 3 times the calcium of the other brands.
Cheese
You can get soy cheeses, but I cant speak from experience - I'm low fatting it up.
Try the tofutti brand. America, you have a huge range. Gah.
Also look for recipes for it!
Spreads
Many spreads are dairy free, but you miss your cottage cheese and mayo? Google some recipes for it. Im too lazy, lol.
Meat
If you're a vegan or veggo, you still needs you your protein. I love tofu. But I know many people who dont. The truth is, just like if you had a bacon and sausage mcmuffin at maccas, thats not what ham and meat tastes like. That spongy stuff is a TYPE of tofu. As is that gooey fluidy stuff. I like the softer tofu, without the spongey casing - silken (FIRM or its floppy) and some of the solid stuff is ok. I avoid the fried stuff. Eww. Anyway, you can use tofu like meat in some cases.Check out fatfreevegan and santiarium's veggie delights website. Even if you're not veggo, consider "Meat free Mondays" or trying veggies sausages (esp if you're a low cal-er. 2 sausages for 80 cal and they're not empty cals? YUM! Or salamI?) I'll do an Australian Eat Well review soon.
Snacks
This gets tricky, esp if you're going NO dairy. Check the packets of everything. Even rice-creackers can have milk hidden in it. Try the freedom foods or organ brands if you have limited time to browse ingredients labels. Also many of the uncle toby's are ok (not the yogurt or chocolate ones) Also check out this website - its a huge help for cal counters, shoppers and dietary intolerant people alike.
Think outside the box - yogurt makes a great snack yes, but what's wrong with a slice of toast and honey? Or a few pieces of shaved ham wrapped around cherry tomatoes?
My fav snacks are
* LEDA bars - also gluten free. Small, but YUMMY. Microwave for 10 sec then pop in the toaster.
* 100 healthy calories bars
* Fortified bread and spread (jam, honey, vegemite, IXL spreads)
* Corn cakes
* Cucumber/Carrots and hummus, or toasted pita triangles.
* Oats/muesli
* Cereals (check)
* Lemon sorbet, Mmm
Dessert
Many recipes can be adapted using soy milk. If you need help, email me
Also So good has a GREAT range of ice-creams, low fat too. I LOVE them. I'll do a review of the caramel soon. There's also a new mango and banana! Try also gelato (non milk) and ice-pole type desserts. Or fresh fruit. If you crave creamy, freeze up a banana, chop up, then whizz with a little water, vanilla or soy milk for a yummy cool summer treat. Or a mango!! YUM
Tomorrow if my tofu pudding works, I'll post the recipe. Yum yum

Today and recipe: Porridge Brulee
B Banana porridge brulee (recipe to follow) with soy milk
S Banana and special K (calciummm)
L Yum Cha!! (Dim sum for Americans) Except this is an all you can eat place, so no stamping. For those of you who dont know its an early lunch where you yum cha (drink tea) chat and get little dumplings in carts wheeled around. there's also noodles, veggies etc. but the dumplings! Prawns, scallops, pork, mmm... must avoid fried...
D Going out. Assuming I'm full from yum cha, Atlantic Salmon salad
S Swiss miss diet, maybe some bran
Recipe - Uses a toaster oven
Porridge Brulee
40g oats ( I used 35g oats, 10g oat bran. If you do this, you need to soak the oats then add the oat bran after they oats are half cooked or they stay chewy)
50g yogurt (I used no fat greek - nice and thick)
3 tsp sugar (I used 2, but I have a big bowl, and didnt make a proper layer)
1. Make oats as usual. I added banana. Turn the grill/toaster oven on high
2. Tip into oven proof bowl that fits under a grill/in a toaster oven. Pour the yogurt on top of the oats and sprinkle the sugar on - no lumps. Its best to have the one blob of sugar than bald patches.
3. Place the bowl under the grill and WATCH. The sugar will melt and begin to form a nice layer.
4. Once it is done, pull out your bowl and either stick it in the fridge or leave it on the bench, whist you prepare any sides you have. This is so the hot sugar sets a bit, forming a hardish layer.
5. Gobble up.
Calories = 228 (using all above ingredients, using less or adding suggestions below will change calorie count)
To cut calories = diet yogurt, less sugar. add psyllium husk instead of 5 g oats (makes it thicker and more filling), add blueberries instead
To add calories = more banana, more sugar, higher cal/fat yogurt. add linseed/flaxseed, drizzle honey, add almond slivers to the top layer, add milk powder to the oats, drink with milk powder
Some people use a lot of sugar, especially if you want a thick layer you can crack with a spoon. I dont mind not having it as I've never had real creme brulee.
S Banana and special K (calciummm)
L Yum Cha!! (Dim sum for Americans) Except this is an all you can eat place, so no stamping. For those of you who dont know its an early lunch where you yum cha (drink tea) chat and get little dumplings in carts wheeled around. there's also noodles, veggies etc. but the dumplings!

Fun recipe links
I havent posted many recipes as of late and I'm going away so I think you need some good recipe links... to hit the cravings.
Chocolate muffins!!
Here for choc-zucc sans the fat
Here for no fat muffins that are like cased fluffy brownies

Sneaks in some more veggies here
Here if you want some hearty oatness
Enough of the veggies! Add some cherries without being high cal
Or cut away the cupcakes and try the new chocolate decadence
New brekkies to try out!
Here is an idea for Goldilocks porridge that uses barley too! Its soo fatty! Replace the cream with nothing or evap milk.
Here overnight porridge gets protein kick!
Here cous cous gets used up well! Tip - to make it extra fluffy, hydrate the cous cous in a large shallow dish, to give it max fluffing up room
You add milk and splenda to cofee... you add it to oatmeal.. would it be ok to add them all together??? What do you think>? (comments)
PBH porridge
Sweet vegetarian brekkie here
Or just steal ideas here
I swear, everything tastes better on carbs!
Going away? Use up those staples that go off easily
Cottage cheese - in burgers!
The rest of the molasses before it crystalises in a no fat cake
Egg whites (as if you'd have those leftover!)
Songs to download (i mean purchase legally)
Erasure - A little respect
Yummy picckies
Lunch is better pretty

Today
Almost fell off the wagon. Was angry, sick of it all, had an exam, starving, but couldnt find anything right adn then my food digested (i gobbled down lunch) and I was full for hours! I had a snack at 430 (an hour and a bit later than usual) because i knew I'd be hungry before dinner, but if i ate later I wouldnt have dinner, and i need it.
B - YUMMY. Try this. Mixed 25g granola clusters vanilla and almond (basically a high sugar, not too high fat high cal cereal thats SO ADDICTIVE that i had to buy the 50g sample pack to stop me eating it all day) with 30g special K (calcium) and 5g Vogels Soy and Linseed Cereal (sub fiber one or all bran) with a chopped strawberry and the leftover bits from a bag of frozen rapsberries. The bowl was HUGE and i had cals left for warm soy milk, nofat yogurt and 1tsp linseed. I miss having huge bowls of yummy cereal like the boys and too much bran isnt fun, so this was great, tho i crushed up the clusters to spread the sugar :) 575mg calcium!
S: Cottage cheese, SF maple syrup lightly mixed, dipped in a granny smith
L: Beef and pumpkin wrap with salad, orang and the leftover kenya rush milk ( i usually dont like coffee but I dont mind this. Lucky i'm going IBS diet or I'd get addicted!)
S: milk and vive light cookies (was a muesli bar but it was a treat)
D: Turkey stroganoff with beans and pasta
S: Muesli slice with no sugar (low fat) ice-cream
