I nearly succumbed, but imagine my surprise!

Was sharing out dinner for my niece today and I took up a container that had what looked like mince in there. It looked delicious. There was chicken there too and I know she would have preferred that, so I shared that out for her.

I thought about the mince and said to myself "maybe I should just go back to eating meat cause I not losing no weight". At the same time, the lady who had cooked it said "that's the Veggie Mince you had bought".

She must have been reading my mind. I was so happy to have had some hot protein. I was thinking about tin salmon as the protein source.

So gotta buy more of that veggie mince. I had put it in the cupboard and kept procrastinating. She used her initiative and did it. Boy was I grateful. I told her so.

I not envying you on the veggie mince thing at all. I just can't acquire the taste for it.

Right now I am wondering... wtf do I eat for lunch? I am wavering between a Shanghai Chicken Salad from Maedac Midtown, or some pan chicken from Saymour's Jerk Centre.... Seymour's calls it Jerk Chicken, but its really just pan chicken. Still, it tastes good.
I wonder if they have any mannish water? That would go down well now too.... as Oliver said, it root out de gas! ;-)

Yammy girl you'll figure it out what works for you and what doesn't just stick to it.
It so hard to be a vegetarian I agree with Angry dog when they invent veggie pork I'll become one in a heartbeat.

i still eat fish, so that's ok. If there was no fish or seafood, I don't think I could do this.

Stunner, I can't cut out carbs. I need the fuel for my workouts. I have started to eat less before my work out though.

For eg, for a morning workout, I would eat a bowl of porridge (oats) with raisins and ripe banana and honey, plus a slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter and jelly. Now I just have the oats, raisins and banana.

i trying to get used to working out on a near empty stomach.

I also love to have sweet potato before my PM workouts.

Being a slave to meat personally, I didn't think you have the strength to last so long. I'm always sceptical about attempts to stop eating meat. I must say I'm pretty impressed.

Hi Yamfoot-I hear your frustration. Going through the same thing. I found with a combination of proteins and veggies and fruits with cario 3 times a week that works for me. Plus eating lightly in the evenings and not pass 7:00pm. Have you had your thyroids checked?

yup.. thyroid is ok.
