Oat raisin levain cookies are delicious.... But the ones with choc chips may be better

Vegetarianism is a wunnerful, wunnerful thing. I've been ovo-lacto vegetarian for 43 years. First, I was a thin vegetarian. Then I gained more weight, and was an overweight vegetarian. Next, I was an obese vegetarian. Stayed there for a few decades, including the last decade where I was very, very active (including getting place, not just participation - LOL!) medals in my chosen sport, rowing.
Finally, I decided to manage my eating in order to lose weight, and became a thin vegetarian again.
Bottom line: Vegetarianism isn't magic. If you have ethical reasons, become vegetarian or vegan. If no ethical reasons, don't: Vegetarianism is mildly (not excessively) more complicated and inconvenient.
Manage your eating, regardless, and get to a healthy weight. It's worth it.
ETA: Regardless of dietary choices, get enough protein. While in a calorie deficit, I recommend at minimum 0.6-0.8g per pound of a healthy goal weight. More is fine. Less is (IMO) risky. You can get this much on a vegan or vegetarian regime, no problem.
So true! I'm vegan, and have lost 70 lbs...I have to eat a lot of protein to keep from getting hungry...but meat or no meat, you just need a calorie deficit to lose.

@SierraFatToSkinny , this is completely off topic but please don't EVER feed cooked bones to your dog. Cooked bones splinter and are very dangerous to feed, regardless of the size of your dog or the bone.

Ended up gaining weight.... Haha.
Now I eat meat, but I try not to have it be boneless, skinless etc. I eat meat off the bone and with the skin. I even save the bones and then make bone stock with them! Then I give the softened bones to my dog as a treat. I try to have as little waste of animal products as possible. I even eat organ meat.
I think that's how meat was intended to be consumed.
That was more of an answer than you asked for... but I'm very satisfied with this process.

Unless you have an ethical reason to stop eating meat, don't. It is an excellent source of protein. I gained most of my weight while I was a vegetarian. There is this idea that vegetarians are all skinny yoga instructors or something and it's just not the case. Calories are the key to weight control, wherever they come from.6

Actually raisins are grapes that were left too long in the sun. So old grapes. I absolutely agree they have no business in cookies.0 -

I cook them until they're soft. (Which I mentioned in my original post.)
As in edible. It's very healthy and safe. I make my own dog food so my dog needs some marrow in her diet. She either gets them raw or after two days in the crockpot.
They're perfectly safe when they're soft.3 -

From Benny and Joon: "A raisin is a failed grape."
One of my all time favourite films. But it's humiliated grapes

I play professional basketball and I am a Vegan dont listen to the lies about all this protein excess crap. Eat a clean vegan diet and workout hard you will see and feel the best results in your life now and in the longevity and overall health. Also look up Dr Sebi he has cured everything from Aids to Diabeties. No meat No dairy No Startch. Clean Alkaline Vegan Diet. A lot of the time vegans and vegetarians put on bad weight is cause they fail to do the proper investigation. Have a solid foundation and youll be good. Electric Food is the best food otherwise your putting dead flesh in your system and are a walking cemetery.1

I don't want to go into particulars, but there is so much pseudoscience and assorted nonsense in here.
I have no real opinion on vego or vegan so long as they are getting the nutrients (NOT just protein) that meat provides, but seriously ...

You've got to be kidding. I have seen a lot of ridiculous claims about veganism before, but that it can cure AIDS? That's extremely offensive.19 -

This is the kind of BS talk that gives vegans a bad rap. Veganism cannot, in any version of reality, cure AIDS. You're doing more damage than good with this horse*poop*.14 -
Eating meat won't be the issue per se. Your daily calorie intake will be, that's the key not being a meat eater or vegetarian. I lost the majority of my weight whilst eating meat nearly 30 lbs in total - I then decided to become a veggie I find it easy to maintain and feel better overall.
Drop your cals, exercise regularly to expedite your progress - count everything cos the only person you'll cheat is yourself, if not. Oh and good luck, cos its a full time job.2
