I so sympathize with you... I love the carbs too! I recommend adding beans and lentils to your diet. There is a huge variety to choose from, they're super healthy, they fill you up very quickly, and they don't contain many calories. If you invest in a pressure cooker, you can even make them from scratch pretty easily and avoid some of the stuff they put in canned beans. (The extra bonus is dry beans are super cheap.) Also, add large salads to your meals, and eat them before your entree. They should help you reduce your appetite before you start eating your main dish.... plus, add tons of nutrients that your body will love. |

You might have trouble getting people to answer this question because vegetarians get asked this question -all- the time, usually by people who are somewhat defensive and even belligerent about eating meat. (Not that I'm saying you are that way!) After a while, you get really sick of answering the question and resent it a bit even when it's asked by someone who is just curious. For me, I started being vegetarian because I was young and idealistic, and I highly disapprove of the inhumane ways that many animals are farmed. After 16 years of not eating meat, it's now mostly because I have zero desire to do so. If Americans would cut back on meat consumption and increase vegetable consumption, it would be a much healthier country! |
