    I like your menu for the day and if you can stick to a life without meat and dairy products, you should do it. You do, however, need protein or else your body will cannibalize itself. Eat some beans. They are the best non-meat and non-dairy source of protein. Since it seems that you are trying to stick to things grown from the earth, beans are your best bet.

    Yeah to the beans, and since you're not vegan you could do some cheese? They make fat free and reduced fat kinds.

    I had some weird foods for breakfast / lunch today.Need to get to the grocery store!

    Breakfast: FF cottage cheese and green tea
    Lunch: Morningstar Farms Veggie burger patty, 1/2 cup cucumber slices, 1/2 a roma tomato, a wasa crispbread, more FF cottage cheese, and a weight watchers string cheese

    I am having kimbob and a steamed veggie bun for dinner. YUM. I make the first with half sushi half brown rice, egg strips, pickled radish, spinach, imitation crab, and grated carrot. The second is frozen food, but hopefully it all balances out...

    Breakfast- Cream of wheat with vanilla whey protein powder
    Lunch- Banana pancakes with a side of 3 egg whites and a slice of swiss cheese
    Snack- 24 Butter toffee natural almonds
    Snack- 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
    Dinner- Sweet potato and asparagus, carrots, zuccini steamed with olive oil

    I know you arent asking for our input- But since you posted your food, be prepared that your gonna get alot of people saying the same thing about your diet.
    I agree- You need protein in your diet. This might work at first for you, but your gonna end up loosing all lean muscle mass. Its just not healthy to eat JUST fruits and vegtables. You need to add eggs, almonds, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, or just plain ole' protein powder. You have basically NO protein or calcium and your body needs it.

    Somewhat true, but only to a point. Most if not ALL people eat way too much protein. Meat is overrated and for that matter protein. Meat and fats add a bajillion calories to a meal. Quickest way to weight loss is substantially reducing protein and fats. You still need some however. Your veggie diet looks healthy AND delicious. A whole egg fried in EVOO and added to your mock cauliflower fried rice is ALL the protein you need for that meal. Thanks for the recipe...I'm going to try it! YUM! One egg fried in EVOO and sliced into strips, Cauliflower - finely chopped, sliced celery, sliced green onions, fresh bean sprouts, fried egg a dash of sesame oil and some low sodium soy sauce. I'm there!

    Cottage Cheese lovers try adding some fresh dill and shred a piece of cucumber. Much cheaper than Rachael Rays' Cottage Cheese. Very good and refreshing and gives that High Protein Low Fat Cottage Cheese some zing!

    I know that some of us plan our meals out in advance, so whats on your menu for today?
    Yesterday i had meat for the first time in about two weeks. Well I am some one who retains water very bad from the meat even if i don't put any salt in it. So today i am back on track with no meat to continue my weight loss and have no water retention. Here's my menu for the day....

    Breakfast: 2 cups of black coffee with Stevia and 1 cup of watermelon- lots of water
    Snack: 1 whole mango and 1 cup of honeydew melon- lots of water
    Lunch: Large fresh salad all picked from my garden- Lettuce, cucumber, radishes, tomato w/ homemade Asian garlic lime dressing- Lots of water.
    Snack: 1 cup carrot sticks w/ lots of water
    Dinner:Home made ice tea w/ stevia and home made mango salsa stuffed in iceberg lettuce leafs.

    I cant wait for dinner. LOL

    Whats on you menu for today???

    You eat like I do...NICE!

    I know everyone is saying i need more protein. Here's the thing though, This is just my meals for today. I eat a lot of protein usually. I still eat eggs and beans and brown rice. I also eat cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt. I like some deli meat too.I just don't eat a lot of red meat ,pork, fish and chicken. Meat now a days have so many growth hormones and other crap in them to preserve the meat. I am happy with eating little to no meat. Everyone's bodies are different. Mine just functions better without out a lot of animal meat. Some people i have seen eat more protein than veggies and fruit. what ever works for them, I don't feel offended in anyway. This is all just constructive feed back:)

    So far I've had a cup of chocolate soy milk, 2 oz of hummus, 10 whole grain crackers and a nectarine. I've got a V8 in my bag that I'll probably drink an 1/2 hour or soy, maybe have a handful of almonds with it.

    Not sure yet about dinner but if I can get the hubby to cook it's going to be blackened catfish with a side of collard greens. If I'm cooking probably some type of beans with rice and a side of collards. (my collard greens are growing like crazy this year!)
