You don't need meat for iron. Where do you think cows, horses, gorillas, etc. get their iron (all vegan btw)?? I've been a vegetarian for many years, and do just fine. I donate blood on a regular schedule as well.

I love them for breakfast! I am a vegetarian...going vegan, and it's a great way for me to get some added protein. I use different types of fruits, and add hemp protein powder because it's VERY neutral (doesn't affect the flavor a lot like whey). I follow the 'no meat athlete' blog, and he highly suggest a smoothie and…

I used to think I needed to follow a recipe, but you usually don't' need one. Basically cook like usual, but not meat. I also like to bake extra firm tofu that has been tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and nutritional yeast.

I was diagnosed a couple of years ago for hypothyroidism too. I take the lowest dose of levothyroxine, and started feeling better after a couple of months. I am very anti-meds so it's the only Rx I agreed to take because it a natural hormone...no man made crap! Stick with it, and you should start feeling a change.

Add me too!

That doesn't sound normal to me. :frown: WebMD is always where I look for help if I can't go to the doctor. Hopefully someone has some good insight for you!
