    I am a vegetarian for 1 year and 3 month now, but gained more way than ever. I am committed to a star a new/healthier vegetarian diet this 2012 because I don't think I can't ever eat meat again, other than fish.

    I once went raw, it was super hard but I lost 5 pounds in two weeks. I ate row all the way until dinner, when I would have some roasted vegetables with brown rice or something similar. For breakfast, I would have kale smoothie, it's actually really good if you add other fruits with it. If anyone is interested, I could share more recipes.

    I am new at myFtinesspal and would love to add some people. Thanks!!

    I have been pretty happy with my progress so far in losing weight and keep it off. I am primarily an ovo-lacto vegetarian. I have found that by adding "veggie ground" to some of my recipes that I can increase the protein content. I normally start with a basic, fresh tomato sauce. I add a small amount of the "veggie ground" and season it like I would if it were meat. The pre-packaged veggie meats are expensive, but most health-food stores or co-ops sell bulk TVP (textured vegetable protein), which makes it more affordable. I am a part-time blog contributor and I have published a recipe for a basic, tasty tomato sauce that you can use as a base to build on: http://blog.madeinitalymall.com/post/7736876670/vegetarian-italian-food

    I am vegan and get tons of protein in my diet without eggs, dairy or meat. Just takes a bit of planning and finding the right foods. Losing the weight is just as easy.
