Thanks, Bill. I am not at the end of week one and needed a new boost of energy and ideas. Perfect.

Good article...thanks!...I am a lifelong carnivore. Lately I have become much more cognizant about my health and have become very interested in vegetarian cooking...I am eating less and less meat...beginning to use meat as a condiment instead of a main course and loving it...Don't know that I will ever get to where you are but I do know that I am getting a LOT healthier!

I was vegetarian for 2 years. I just went back now for about 7 months again. I'm attempting to go vegan. There's alot of sites with easy recipes.

Hi, how are you? I loved your post. You've provided great information and were given good feedback. I raised my kids vegan - for many years rather, and they were never lacking in nutrition. I now have three grandsons, 4 and under who are vegetarians, 1 is vegan. They are extremely healthy.

I think what helped us to leave the carnivore lifestyle was to never think about what we couldn't eat, we made a list of all the good stuff we could eat. I researched info on nutrition, had help from friends - whose support I had (and I was accountable to them-lol). I also had a grocery list when I went to the store. I knew exactly what aisle everything was on. I never had need to stray over to the meat or dairy section...out of sight out of mind I guess. Everything that ailed us, simply became non-existent. It's a wonderful way of life!

Hi! Have you ever tried PeiWei? Every thing they make with meat they also make with tofu (fried or steamed). I say that, but do you know that tofu simply takes on the flavor of whatever it's cooked with? For example, I order sweet and sour tofu. Or my pad thai noodle bowl with tofu. It's a great source of protein. I hope you'll try it.
