Protein doesn't make you full, carbs do. Try added in more complex grains and some beans and eating fruit. I usually keep a banana around for when I peckish mid-afternoon.

It's a misconception that people needs tons of protein. You really only need around 50g a day. I've still been able to maintain and gain muscle eating between 50-70g a day so nbd Also my iron is and always has been fine. I eat alot of beans so maybe that's why. I started off by eating foods I already liked that were…

You should go to a gastro doc to get checked out, sometimes it's not just gas or IBS, it could be a more serious condition. Hopefully not, and you can work with your doctors on symptom relief through diet and medications.

Why does it have to be low carb? And further I don't think think that's possible...oatmeal is not bad. In fact, it might keep you fuller longer.

Why the heck would you be low carb and vegan? That doesn't make any sense because vegetables and fruit have carbs there is no getting around that. Drop the low carb and eat tofu, tempeh, seitan, beans and grains.

Beans, tofu, tempeh, seitan, grains...why is your protein goal so high? Seems unnnecessery

It's more about what you need to reduce eating rather than start eating when it comes to cholesterol...try having more meatfree meals....even 'lean' meats can increase bad cholesterol if eaten alot.....and add more whole grains,beans and veggies and fruits to your diet...

Eat tofu, tempeh, seitan and beans. You don't need a ton of protein though tbh. If you want to add more just make a protein smoothie. Pretty easy under 200 calories

None. It's totally not necessary

It's not hard to get protein on a vegetarian diet, opt for more beans...I have ibs too but I found that I can tolerate beans in small amounts, also eating more tofu, tempeh and seitan helps and you can even find pastas higher in protein. I have some edaname pasta and chick pea pasta that are high in protein..you don't need…

Why is fish acceptable? I grew up catholic but my mom could never give me a clear answer as to why fish didn't count as meat?

Go to www.tryveg.com for info. You won't miss any nutrients no a wellplanned vegetarian diet, like any well planned diet.

On several occasions I watched my cousin eat a whole bag of broccoli. It was scary. lol

Being vegetarian isn't about just taking meat out of your diet or just replacing it with eggs and dairy. You should eat more beans, lentils and not be afraid of tofu, seitan and tempeh and whole grains. Then again it depends on your goal. If it's something ridiculous like 150g then reconsider if that is necessary

Too many eggs is bad for you, what do you want us to say? It's not true? Keep it up and see what happens.

Is this real life?

Yes, new research suggests that IBS is not always stress related, but related to an inability to digest fodmaps correctly. I did the low fodmap diet which helped, but I still have to take bentyl just about daily. I tried the new IBS meds, xifaxian and viberzi. Neither worked long term. I really liked viberzi but after…

No it's high cal and salty AF. I go there once in awhile but mostly because they are veg friendly, unlike most chains.

You are already eating meat. Fish is meat. But no your body doesn't forget how to break food down, that's just a myth

Don't go on 'diets' that you don't intend to be on for the rest of your life is really the only solution.

Carbs are not bad, if you're gonna be vegan you're going to have higher carbs unless you live off protein shakes. Tell us what you eat now on a typical day so we can help.

Don't do juice or smoothie fasts unless you plan on doing them forever because the weight will just come back after you're done fasting.

People will always freak out about protein when you're not eating meat for whatever reason. Try eating more beans and trying tofu, tempeh and seitan. You can buy these already seasoned to try out if you aren't ready to cook with them yet. Also vegetarian chili is a great option, Amy's makes a good one or you can make your…

Are you on bp meds?

Veggie chili, tofu scramble, seitan burritos, tempeh wraps, oatmeal

You're on a diet that's what you're doing wrong.

I like to eat plants and pretend there is protein in them

Four

It also has poop in it :neutral:
