Kaigirl 4 Posted November 18, 2012 Hey all, So last Monday I made a decision to go vegetarian. It was based mainly on the fact that meat is too heavy in my stomach when I eat it. And it seems the further out I get, the more things I find upset my stomach. That being said, I don't miss meat as much as I thought I would. It turns out there are still things to eat in this world that have Protein and aren't meat. I particularly like veggie patch "chickn" cutlets because they taste like chicken nuggets. Also smart life makes portobello burgers that are good. Has anyone else gone this route? If so I would like to hear what you eat so I can have a better idea. I'll tell you one thing... The numbers have been flying down the scale since I stopped eating meat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted November 19, 2012 I want to become a vegetarian but I might then be too low in Iron. Then I will have so much more to worry about if I do. I'm lost. Usually vegetarian eat seafood but some don't. It depends on the individual. 1 kiwiladydee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakawaka 108 Posted November 20, 2012 Tofu and tempeh are great sources of Protein. Same for Beans and lentils. Some green leafy vegetables can supply Iron. I am not vegetarian but I do not eat a lot of meat for health reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakawaka 108 Posted November 20, 2012 There are Iron supplements that you can take as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakawaka 108 Posted November 26, 2012 I also am buying a juicer that excels in juicing green leafy vegetables that are high in Iron. That is another way that I will ensure plenty of iron, as well as Calcium and other nutrients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
