    I'm used to losing weight like that...1-2lbs a day. It's been a week and I've only lost 2 lbs so far? that is too slow

    Too slow, because you want to do it again next year?

    And the year after.

    And waste your life yo-yo dieting, having a terrible relationship with food and your body.

    Each time getting easier to gain, and harder to lose.

    You want to go that kind of speed, right?

    I recommend picking it up and placing it down somewhere else. Boom, your scale just moved

    Well, they DO make vegetarian bacon bits.

    And, if you've ever used the McCormick "Bac'n Pieces"... they're vegan.

    Really?

    I seriously did not know there were vegetarian ' bacon bits' - well, imitation bacon bits.

    I wondered why nobody else was commenting on this apparent contradiction in her diet.

    Yeah, unless you get the ones that say they're real bacon, what you're really getting is "imitation bacon flavored textured soy flour bits".

    Yesterday I had

    breakfast
    celery sticks w/ peanut butter (fat free kind) it was a few times a day, don't know how many celery sticks I had

    lunch
    salad with ranch dressing, bacon bits, croutons and a slice of bread

    snack
    more celery sticks w/ peanut butter

    dinner
    salad with rancing dressing, bacon bits, croutons and slice of bread
    water with each meal

    is it the peanut butter causing me to stall?? ive been stuck at the same weight for the last couple days. my stomach was growling and I was confident I would lose another lb this morning

    take out the ranch replace with a vinaigrette stop using bacon bits and croutons and slices of bread

    eat some protein... since you are a vegetarian maybe... beans? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh soy products? tofu?
    idk much about vegetarian diets sorry but im sure there are a million pinterest recipes to help you out

    I'm trying to be a vegetarian that' why there is no poultry in my diet.
    What type of salad dressing do you suggest I use on my salad? I only like ranch dressing

    Its a lot easier for vegetarians to get protein than most meat eaters act like it is. A quick google search will lead you to tons of articles explaining the myth. There are so many non-meat foods that will adequately supply you with enough protein that there's really no excuse for not getting enough. I've been veg for years and have never, ever, had issues with protein intake.

    As for salad dressing, I usually go with raspberry vinaigrette. Pretty low cal and I love the flavor it gives. I also like it on white rice. Yum!

    ooo i'll have to try that on my rice that sounds good
