She is otherwise healthy and I wish I could convince her that
she shouldn't go on a fad diet to reach some unattainable weight
loss goal.

Her goals are likely attainable, but not via the path she is
choosing!

Good suggestions. My daughter the Vegan will be visiting late
April/Early May for a long weekend. Husband and I eat vegan
with her. The pierogi recipe looks especially tasty as a switch
from beans & rice, beans & peanuts, spinach & rice etc etc.

[quote]I'm still wondering what she eats everyday. Zero carb
vegetables and........that's it? I feel dizzy just thinking
about it. Maybe she also eat nuts, tofu, and mushrooms.[/quote]
This might well be just a crash diet, though, not something she
intends to maintain as a norm.
[/quote]
Yes it's a crash diet. The OP says this person is an occasional
vegan and her goal is weight loss; not a lifestyle change. I
said above that diets don't work, especially such an extreme
diet, and wouldn't be surprised if she caves in at Easter and
eat the OP's feast.
But Easter is still weeks away so she has to eat *something* of
substance in the meantime. What proteins is she eating during
these weeks or months? I can't imagine being able to function a
work day by only eating vegetables.
[/quote]
Somewhat off topic, but yeah, this "diet" plan seems extremely
ill advised. I have no idea how much weight this person seeks to
lose, but almost certainly her current plan is not going to
succeed. Being vegan is not a weight loss diet plan in and of
itself (Oreos are vegan, for example), and if she is also
cutting out foods with substance she is most definitely setting
herself up for failure.
[/quote]
Frivolity on a serious; and rightfully to be grappled with;
subject -- sorry ! -- but I initially read the above-bolded, as
"Orcs [as in Tolkien] are vegan". For sure, nothing good has
ever been known to come of them...

How did it go? Did she eat the regular dinner or was she happy
with the ratatouille?

I am not able to quote ABL’s post - but while it seems to be
very informative- it’s not fair to take an important dinner like
a major holiday and rework everything for one person. No matter
what the reasons. Ethical, Religious, Medical or Fad Diet. I
would make sure she had all major food groups to eat and serve
the traditional foods made the traditional way.
That said- how did it go.

The dinner went beautifully.
As I said before, she's a wonderful woman and we all love her.
She was very grateful that we made the ratatouille and even
asked BeagleBoy for the recipe.
She did have small amounts of some of the other foods and raved
about my tres leches cake.

Isn't the very definition of 'tres leches' three milks? That's
not exactly vegan! But I think it's cute that she loved it.
Aren't you glad you didn't go completely overboard? Everything
worked out perfectly for everyone involved.
