Have you considered becoming a vegetarian?


I was vegetarian for over 20 years before going vegan. I should explain that I don't feel I lack protein but that I'm looking for something more substantial, more hearty to have as my main course. Veggies don't fill me up enough. Kale, broccoli, spinach and other plants have more protein than meat. Protein is in EVERYTHING so I never concern myself with it.

When I lose the last few pounds, I'll go back to eating legumes, some grains, and fruit. I'm just staying away from these in the short term to lose weight.

Thank you for replying, Nancy.
