How do I go vegetarian? After watching “Meet your Meat”, I plan to completely change my way of eating.

I pretty much gave up eat­ing red meat many years ago, but never knew about the cruel treat­ment of chick­ens, turkeys, and fish. I never had any idea that by drink­ing milk and eat­ing dairy prod­ucts I am sup­port­ing the inhu­mane treat­ment of cows as well. A friend told me I can buy free range milk, dairy prod­ucts and eggs where the ani­mals are not mis­treated. Where can I find these items? I will also have a hard time even buy­ing or cook­ing meat for my hus­band. How can I con­vince him to try to go veg­e­tar­ian as well?

Does anyone know how to do a vegetarian low-carb, high-protein diet?

I found some great high-protein meat-replacements, like Yve’s, Boca, and Morn­ing Star. I’ve been think­ing about using tofu and tempe too. Does any­one else have any other ideas, sug­ges­tions, etc? Thanks!

What would be a high protein diet for a vegetarian?

I’m doing a fit­ness rou­tine, so I would like to know how can I have a lot of pro­tein if I don’t eat meat?

How do I balance out my vegetarian diet and my families?

I have gone to work full time to sup­port my fam­ily while my hus­band has gone to school. I work from home, but am tied to my com­puter for 10 hours a day and my hus­band has taken over the house­hold chores and home­school­ing our son for the next year until he is done.

The prob­lem is, I have always cooked. Now, I have been a veg­e­tar­ian since my hus­band and I have met and he has always been an avid meat eater. When I was cook­ing all the time, I would give him some meat with his din­ner a cou­ple of times a week — and bought lunch meat for his lunches and the rest of the time I would make veg­gie dishes only. He cant eat cheese or dairy — so I have always in this regard had to sub­sti­tute this for him (as I still drink organic and free range milk).

Any­way now that he is cook­ing — he says he won’t make veg­e­tar­ian dishes. No tofu. None of “that”. I don’t think it is fair! I work 10 hours a day — 7 days a week! Am I being unfair to ask him to throw an arti­choke in for me? Cook some extra rice?

What kind of take out should I take to a vegetarian pot luck?

I don’t cook at all, but I recently joined a syn­a­gogue which has fre­quent dairy (veg­e­tar­ian) pot lucks. That’s so that peo­ple don’t have to worry about whether the food is Kosher, not because these peo­ple are com­mit­ted veg­ans or anything.

They have fre­quent (2x/month) dairy potlucks. I don’t do any cook­ing at all except for an occa­sional microwaved T.V. din­ner. Mostly my hus­band and I eat all of our meals out.

I’m try­ing to think about what kind of foods I can get in 12 per­son serv­ings for the pot lucks. This week I brought a veg­e­tar­ian appe­tizer plat­ter from Daphne’s Greek Cafe. I’ve already thought of Cheese Enchilada’s from the local Mex­i­can place. I can occa­sion­ally bring a salad or desert, but I need to think of food I can get for a group at a take out or restaurant.\

P.S. Some­one there is already famous for her lasagne and there’s almost always home­made Kugel.

I appre­ci­ate any suggestions.

Vegetarian diet can help keep the toxins away

Veg­e­tar­ian diet can help keep the tox­ins away
Wash­ing­ton, May 18 : Stick­ing to veg­eta­bles for five days a week can sig­nif­i­cantly reduce the body’s amount of antibi­otics and phtha­lates — a com­mon chem­i­cal added to plas­tics — says a new research.

Low carb high protein diet for a vegetarian?

I want to try going low-carb-high-protein to lose weight fast.

The thing is, alot of my diet now con­sists of bread, pasta, pitta bread, and rice.
I hate milk, and I’m veg­e­tar­ian, so I can’t have fish or meat, but I can have eggs.

What would be some good high pro­tein, low carb meals?

Thanks.
