White-meat turkey, on the other hand, has lower amounts of cholesterol and saturated fatty acids than chicken and is recommended as a preferred meat substitute. Wild goose is another good alternative, as there is hardly any fat in the meat. Although trimming the fat from meats and removing chicken skin does reduce the amount of fat and cholesterol, frequently the ingested cholesterol goes unnoticed, as in marbled meats. Such marbling in the meat contains high quantities of fat that are later converted to cholesterol and therefore should be avoided.

But with proper treatment for digestibility and flavor enhancement, it can be turned into a fibrous meat substitute of nearly limitless versatility. Have you ever eaten a delicious "vegetarian veal cutlet" or "vegetarian drumstick" at a dairy restaurant? They probably contained textured soy protein. Institutions such as hospitals also buy soy concentrate in numerous "disguised" forms, including imitation meats and fish. The flavor is excellent and the texture hardly distinguishable from whatever "original" is being imitated.

The residue left over from making peanut, sunflower, and sesame oil is often converted to textured protein and treated in preparation for use as a meat substitute.38 And the most delicious nuts—almonds, pistachios, walnuts, pine nuts, cashews—have a high protein content. Peanut butter, made from fresh-ground peanuts (actually a legume, not a nut), becomes a complete protein when spread on whole grain bread. Sesame seeds can be toasted, eaten raw, or ground up to make tahini. Slivered almonds make a crunchy and delicious addition to any stir-fried vegetable dish or casserole.

Soft tofu (silken tofu) is creamier and good pureed or blended. Yakidofu is firm tofu that's been lightly broiled, and koyodofu is freeze-dried tofu that must be reconstituted before being used in cooking. Powdered instant tofu mix is also available.

A chewy bean cake with a rich, smoky taste, it makes a great meat substitute and is quite versatile. Tempeh's smoky flavor works well with spicy dishes like tacos and chili. It's an excellent choice for the grill and goes well with barbecue sauce or sweet and sour sauces. Tempeh is widely available: you will find it in natural foods stores, specialty markets, and even regular supermarkets. Check the freezer or refrigerator sections. Tempeh, if frozen, will keep for months. Defrosted tempeh will last a week in your fridge. Miso is a salty paste with a deep, earthy appeal.

Use tofu freely as a meat substitute, in stir-fries, salads, or any dish for which meat, chicken, or cheese is called for. We thank the ex-vice governor of Okinawa and professor of nutrition Hiroko Sho for one of our favorite tofu recipes—East-West Tofu Croquettes (see page 355). It takes less than thirty minutes to prepare and it is delicious. Cautions. There is some concern about children in early puberty and postmenopausal women consuming a lot of soy products because of the high concentration of flavonoids and their weak estrogenic actions.

Western way, as a meat substitute (e.g., soy burgers), should be right at the top of your Okinawa pantry shopping list. I mo, or Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas, numu) Historical records indicate that in 1605 an Okinawan man named Sokan Noguni brought a sweet potato seedling back from Fujian, a neighboring Chinese province with close cultural ties to Okinawa, and began growing it in his garden.51 Over the years he shared seeds with neighbors and taught his friend, Gima Shinjo, how to raise this amazing new plant. Before long Mr.

Eat More Peas, Beans, and Nuts Peas and beans, once considered a meat substitute for people on tight budgets, have come into their own. They have so much to offer—vitamins, protein, fiber, minerals, cancer-fighting phytochem-icals, folic acid, and LNA. Meanwhile, they are low in cost, low in calories, and free of saturated fat and cholesterol. Soybeans are especially rich in LNA, and they also contain genistein, a cancer-fighting phytochemical. Years ago, manufacturers of vegetable burgers boasted that their products "contain no soy.

And tem-peh, a high-protein soy product made by fermenting cooked beans, is often adopted as a meat substitute by those converting to a vegetarian diet. In fact, on first taste—as an ingredient in, for example, an Indonesian dish—tempeh is often mistaken for meat. This is partially because of its texture, which is more coarse than that of tofu or even soy burgers. As this inventory indicates, the soybean is an incredibly adaptable legume.

A classic high-protein, high-fiber, low-fat meat substitute, lentils have a distinct personality and prefer center stage. They refuse to be relegated to the status of side dish or garnish. They demand respect. For fall and winter feasts, I recommend lentil nut roasts as a healthy, hearty alternative to turkeys and hams. Like other legumes, lentils both stabilize and energize, nurture and stimulate the body. They're also considered brain food, and boost intelligence. Therapeutic and Healing Powers: The lentil's remedial properties are similar to those of the soybean.

Firm tofu is probably most popular as a meat substitute in a stir-fry. Beans are a good source of protein at any meal, even for breakfast, when a nutritious bowl of lentil or split pea soup is a preferable alternative to sugar-laden granola with milk and fruit. Eat as much as you like — it's hard to overdose on beans. Use canned kidney beans, black beans, or chick peas as a garnish for your chef s salad. Dehydrated bean soups make a good snack.

SUGGESTIONS FOR BETWEEN-MEAL SNACKS These snacks are all high in protein, though it is possible, of course, to use up some of the allotted bread intake at these little meals. To keep low the amount of carbohydrates from bread, one can use brown rice cakes, which are available in health food stores. These weigh half as much as slices of bread, and, when prewarmed, are quite palatable, satiate the craving for carbohydrates (which will lessen as the low-sugar diet is followed) at the snacks, and provide a vehicle for the protein foods. Note that snack portions are 1 ounce—for reducers.
