    Love meat too much, i dont think i could ever go Veggie or Vegan.

    One can still be healthy with meat. Just my opinion.

    I started working with a vegan diet a little more than a month ago, but so far it's been easier to be vegetarian than vegan. I did pretty well until last night when I was slicing a chicken breast to make my husband's sandwich for lunch at work today. Suddenly I just devoured the few shreds of meat that were left like a starving carnivore; I couldn't stop myself. I definitely was craving protein. I've been coming up pretty short according to MFP settings.

    Just started becoming a Vegan :) Love it so far. A little hard but so worth it!
    I do Raw till 4 which means I eat raw vegan until 4pm (when I get a cooked vegan meal for dinner) :)

    How do you make sure you eat an adequate amount of protein? This is the thing that prevents me from going veggie. I don't believe in tofu.

    I have been a strict no added fat vegan since my Dr told me I was diabetic over a year ago. By following Dr. Epstein's recommendations I'm off Metformin, my statin and cut my blood pressure medicine in half. I also lost about 15 lbs. mostly around the middle. It's nice to see others on this healthful path.
