Allena Tapia from Diet Detective just wrote to tell me she linked to my 'awesome site' (that would be Savvy Veg). Curiosity led me to her awesome site.
Although Allena says that she's a 'transitional vegetarian' according to Savvy Veg, Diet Detective is an excellent resource for vegetarians or anyone in healthy lifestyle and weight loss. The section that I'm really excited about is one of the best food resources I've seen online: the Food Search Section of Diet Detective. This is a thorough nutritional analysis of thousands of foods, including most everything that vegetarians & vegans eat - exactly what I've been looking for. Even spices & herbs are listed, making it clear what nutrition powerhouses they are. For example, 1 tsp of cumin has 1% of the daily value of Vitamin A, 2% of calcium, and 7.9% of iron, plus trace amounts of Vitamins C, E & K, Thiamin, Niacin, Folate & B6. Who Knew!?
The Food Search section is a valuable tool for meal planning, weight loss, or weight gain for some lucky people! I plan to use it for developing recipes on Savvy Veg. In addition, Diet Detective offers a weight loss support group (membership is $49.95 per year), health & diet articles and advice, community forums, newsletter and more.
