Q. I'm 14 years old and I'm on the Atkins diet. I was wondering what I should eat, especially for lunch because I usually have sandwiches but the Atkins diet tells you to stay away from bread. Please help. And would much appreciate it if you guys wouldn't say ohh your perfect the say you are or your to young... Thanks
A. Here's what you need to eat. Please make a note of the pulses and vegetables which I've mentioned. Apart from those mentioned, it would be beneficial to purchase fruits and vegetables which are native to your region so that you can formulate your own recipes in the future.
You need to make sure you eat pulses at least three times a week and fruits and vegetables everyday.
Have a fruit for breakfast(apart from something else of course) and vegetables/pulses for lunch and dinner.
Make sure you include ALL varities of fruits, vegetables, pulses, grains, nuts, seeds and dry fruits in your grocery list.
Don't eat mock meat and soybean as mock meat contains sodium and soybean is bad for health.
Mock meat is also soy based so too much soy can be bad for health.
Actually even a little soy is bad for health.
What's wrong with soy?
Soy beans are naturally toxic to humans, but they're harmless when they go through a fermentation process, which is how we get tofu.
But soy is being used in more and more things these days.
Just look through your cabinet. You'll be surprised.
Anyway, most companies aren't putting their soy beans through this process because it takes too much time, and time = money.
Instead, they put it through a chemical process, but this rarely gets rid of the soy's toxicity completely.
Symptoms of a high soy diet are thyroid problems, breast cancer, and other complications.
People get these symptoms because the soy they eat isn't fermented.

Mock meat can never be part of a staple diet(food what you eat everyday) as it is highly processed.
You CAN have it ONCE IN A WAY.
Its a luxury and not a need.
Now looking at a staple diet, You'll need to consume naturally occurring FRUITS,VEGETABLES(cauliflower,carrot, potato, beetroot, broccoli, okra, eggplant, radish, turnip, cabbage, bitter gourd, spinach,capsicum(aka bell peppers)),PULSES(chickpeas,kidney beans,black eyed peas,green gram,black gram,lentils,lablab bean,moth bean,horse gram,cow pea,double beans),NUTS(cashew nuts,peanuts,walnuts,pistachios,raisins) and GRAINS.
Also, do have figs once in a while as it is good for blood purification.
Make something like rice and bread your staple diet.
You can have rice with vegetables or lentils/legumes for lunch and bread(I have Indian bread usually) with pulses for dinner.
You will get all vitamins and minerals from fruits,vegetables,pulses, legumes and nuts provided you consume them in variety so don't fall for the myth that says vegans/vegetarians need to take multivitamin supplements.
Vegans/vegetarians don't need to take supplements as they get all their nutrients from the above mentioned sources.
Supplements are supposed to be taken by people with deficiencies so do not take them UNLESS they have been prescribed to you by a doctor.

How to improve my egg salad recipe?
Q. I use regular mustard, mayo, dill pickle relish, salt and pepper and celery seed. What can I do to improve on my egg salad recipe. I was thinking of maybe adding worcestershire or ranch dressing. Thanks for your help!:)
A. 12 Egg Salad Recipes to Try
Tex Mex Wrap: From Egg Farmers of Canada.
Country Style: Ingredients include tomato, yogurt, spring onion, mayo, onion powder, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, lettuce, chives and served on buns. From Kayotic Kitchen.

Special: Enjoy this as a stuffing for fresh tomatoes or a spread on sandwiches. It could even be used as a dip with your favorite crackers. Found at Taste Of Home.
Tangy & Savory: This is suitable for adults and those with discriminating taste. It’s so simple to prepare and the tangy, savory mix spread over a bed of fresh arugula versus sandwiched between two pieces of bread won’t make you feel the need to run laps after. From Dishing Up Delights.
With Avocado: I have made this twice, and eaten it thrice. Each time it was pure delight! Don’t let the name frighten you away, give this a try! The best thing about it? It’s clean! It’s just too good not to share. From Odd Dotty Dollymaker.
Mini-Sandwich with Bacon: What makes this a little different is the crisp bacon pieces and celery. It’s a great balance of flavor that also gives the mini sandwiches a nice crunch. Plus, you can’t deny the cuteness factor of making them mini. From Culinary Cory.
Indian Style: This was just something I made up as I went along, but it was surprisingly successful and the bowl was scraped clean at the trivia table. From One Hot Stove.

What are some good easy vegetarian recipes?
Q. My mum doesn't ever cook and only heats already-made meals, such as pizza or something unhealthy. Or she just makes chips or a chicken sandwich, so I decided to start cooking. Well, I really don't know how to cook, so I'm hoping you can give me some easy vegetarian/vegan recipes??!
Thanks.
Thanks.
A. I use a lot of canned tomatoes and legumes when I cook. A really simple recipe for a vegetarian soup is to cut up an onion, a few cloves of garlic and shred half of a celeriac. Then heat up some oil in a pot and fry them for a little while. Make sure they don't burn. Add lentils, canned tomatoes and vegetable stock. Some water might be needed. Add salt, pepper and maybe some dried herbs.
If you google for easy vegetarian recipes you'll find lots of stuff. Since I don't know what kind of food you like it's a little hard to come up with tips, but vegetarian chili, Indian dal, pancakes (you can make them with half graham flour and eat them with fruit for a healthier meal), pasta primavera and veggie burgers seems to be popular with most people (vegetarian or not).
