    I cut out most of my dairy for health reasons
    I also did a total elimination of potatoes, rice, corn, pasta, breads, etc... my body does not metabolize this very well

    you can have a healthy diet whilst avoiding all those.

    if you want a breaded effect on meat or fish try oats.
    There are lots of tomato based sauces with either herbs and/or spices. (rather than milk based sauces)
    I cannot remember the recipe but cauliflower pancake type things look good for a bread type substitute.
    Although its called milk, almond milk is dairy free and nice on cereals, I have not tried it in hot drinks yet.

    Good luck

    :grumble: FINALLY a REAL suggestion to the quesiton that that started this post in the first place!! Not some ****-a-mammy BS some seem to be posting:laugh:

    Eat eggs, bread and milk. You don't have to cut anything out as long as you have it in moderation.
    I myself, do not like milk either so unless it's 'in' something like yogurt or soup, I'll pass. Soymilk is good, especially Silk light chocolate!
    I eat chicken periods occasionally. Sometimes I even have cow muscle and I really enjoy it. And like I said above, I enjoy cow breast milk if it's in soup! <you hear all kinds of things on here!!!> LOL
    Maybe look at your total intake and try to find a balance rather than omitting something entirely. I understand if you don't like it but you do need to eat and sometimes we just have to re-learn how.
    Good luck to you!

    I don't eat eggs and I have cut down on bread. I like milk in my coffee and hence not going to cut it. Give it a try.

    I have not actively tried to cut milk out of my diet, but I love unsweetened coconut milk for drinking/cooking/cereal.
    And if you are concerned about the healthiness of the breads you eat, you could try different types of bread rather than eliminating it (I am gluten intolerant, so my bread choices are extremely limited).

    As far as replacing eggs, you can use tofu. Vegans usually make tofu scramble, eggless egg salad, etc with tofu. I personally like eggless egg salad a lot.

    I say go for it. I have been lacto ovo vegetarian for over 8 years. I was vegan for one of those years. I was never a very healthy vegetarian/or vegan.

    I would just caution you in finding good wholesome alternatives for dairy. There are plenty of protein alternatives for eggs for example, legumes, tofu etc. So you do no need eggs to get enough protein in your diet.

    Also read ingredients carefully as many things that we eat on a daily basis contain eggs/dairy.

    Best of luck!

    Also there are many cheese alternatives (dairy free) out there.

    Moderation doesnt work for everyone though

    Idk its something new and the bread I eat is unhealthy and I'm starting to dislike milk and eggs just gross me out.

    So buy double protein bread or sprouted grain bread. There are other options.

    If you dislike eggs and milk, are you not eating anything that is MADE with these ingredients as well? 80% of food contains milk and eggs. Just sayin.

    I love almond milk, unsweetened almond milk is only 40 calories per cup. Eggs are good for you though, maybe try just cutting out the yokes, egg whites are high in protein and fairly low in calories...
    and egg whites eliminate the cholesterol!

    I went vegan after being a vegetarian for almost 10yrs. For me there wasn't a huge change but if you have been eating meat and stuff you will most likely see a difference of a few pounds lost. I know a lot of recipes if you would like to try some.
    not knocking vegan or vegetarian, but wouldnt the few pounds lost be lean mass instead of fat due to the lack of protein?

    I hate milk too, but because calcium is a thing I get concerned about I tend to keep the cals for chocolate milk and have it after my work outs. Good luck with your trial x

    I had this thought too. Finding wheat, dairy and egg free products is going to be HARD.

    Yeh, those eggs are nasty according to Veganthinn. I never heard it put that way- someone else's period!!

    Hens, female chickens, have a cycle that can be daily during certain times of the year. Like humans, hens have ovaries, though only the left ovary develops fully. This ovary sends a yolk on its path. The yolk forms what we know as an "egg white" as it moves through the reproductive tract into the shell gland. The shell takes about 21 hours to form and "Cluck!"—out pops an egg! Because this egg is unfertilized, it won't grow into a cute baby chick.
    BOOM!
    plus, scrambled tofu is better than eggs-period. (haha im so funny)
