Started Jan 1. This has been really easy: I didn't realize that a bunch of unhealthy foods cater to vegetarianism. I've subsisted on vegetarian bean and jalapeno chimichangas, vegetarian pizza, and corn chex. Once the kids get back in school I'll buckle down and get a buncha healthier vegetarian recipes. I like to cook... well, I like to say "I'm gonna cook dinner" and then spend a quiet evening calmly making a big dish while my wife watchees the kids.

I didn't die and it loving sucked. There are less lovely ways of losing weight, like home liposuction with a shop vac. I just kind of stopped posting here because some rear end in a top hat goons couldn't get over the fact that I was allowed an occasional bit of fish.

Checking in after going veg Jan 1 due to this thread. I can't believe how easy it's been: Vegetarian beans, burritos, jalapeno poppers... there's so many delicious foods. I did have fish twice, chicken once, and red meat in a lasagna once (those were all at family events where no good veggie proteins were available). But I'm definitely sticking with this. Now, to cut the sodium. I just looked at the sodium content for most of my new favs and it's bad, y'all. What are some good, delicious low-salt veg foods? I have no dietary restrictions, I eat anything, I am a walking garbage disposal.

Cook yourself instead of eating out/“cooking” by nuking a TV dinner/eating plain cheese pizzas sent by a stalker. That makes it very easy to cut sodium. Also for less obvious things. For example, buy dried beans and cook them yourself instead of getting cooked beans. It requires a bit of planning (cooking beans takes a day), but really isn’t much more effort once you get the hang of it (dump beans + water + vegetables in slow cooker in evening/morning, wait, done).

Cutting sodium can be pretty tricky unless you make your own food, which you should do because it's awesome and better (regardless of meat).

Biohazard posted:Do you notice any differences? Feel better/worse? Are you shits massive and strong due to the increased level of fiber? Yeah that's probably going to do it. I usually cook from scratch but I've been doing a lot of prepackaged while I learn to cook veg. Feb 1 I'll switch to at least 12 scratch cooked meals per week. I haven't noticed much difference except I'm not as groggy the morning after drinking. I was able to quit caffeine because of it OP thanks for making this thread. I posted "it was easy!" Befote reading your post about how difficult it was for you, it was not my intent to slight you but as I reread this page I definitely come off that way. Sorry!

It's almost like people don't like it when people intentionally misidentify stuff and keep doing it while going "haha gently caress you". Maybe if you'd taken literally any advice in the thread it wouldn't have sucked. There's loads of amazing veg food and you seemed pretty hardcore into the mindset of rice and beans. While there's nothing wrong with rice and beans, drat, man. We are more than that. Drunk Nerds posted:Checking in after going veg Jan 1 due to this thread. Sodium is a replacement for animal fat in most cases with regard to vegetarian food. Remember that you don't have to have a heavy protein at every meal, too. Is most of your sodium coming from processed food or are you adding it manually? The best changes I've made are just cooking with plain old tofu instead of lazy rear end veggie burgers and getting no-salt-added canned stuff (like tomato sauce) for my meals and stuff like that.

I went vegetarian for a few weeks just for kicks after realizing the keto diet was horrible and turns out it's not that bad. I did miss meat in general and I was curious so I added fake meats when applicable and Gardein was by far the best IMO. MorningStar can go gently caress itself, those spicy black bean burgers were good for a bit but then I started to notice the aftertaste and it was really gross. The Smartlife veggie hot dogs are kinda like the diet coke of cheap hot dogs taste wise but if you throw some condiments or chili on them you won't really notice. Same with vegan corndogs or "chicken" strips/nuggets/patties. The worst thing about them is that they are a little bland. I don't know how to cook tofu so I just didn't try. I never got into the whole cashew cheese or vegan butter or vegan cheese or stuff like that. I'd totally try it if someone offered it to me, but gently caress me I'm not doing all that effort on my own. A lot of what my broke-rear end eats is already vegetarian at least. Pbjs, crackers, nuts, fruit, etc. It was the big dinners or the meal preps that made me adjust. It's hard, though. A big pork shoulder will absolutely last you a week with pulled pork and it's so drat cheap. The cravings for meat are hard and thinking about how you can just cook a big hunk and eat it all week in varying ways with almost no effort is harder for a lazy gently caress like me. Things like veg based chili, casseroles or soup really made it easier because they were easy af to just reheat instead of giving into that craving for some goddamn MEAT RIGHT NOW.

I used to be a meat loving person that couldn't wait to try any kind of meat in any amount. Did keto and it disgusted me thinking about the excess consumption of animal products. Depressed me Went vegan overnight one day. Those meat cravings end after about a month in my experience. And then you get the vegan superpowers What's cheaper and healthier than a pork shoulder? Vegan chili. Make it with lentils, mushrooms, peppers, beans, etc. So inexpensive and far more satiating. And drat good. I add gardein beefless crumbles, and my omni friends are into it too Plus it's pretty easy to learn to make your own seitan and other alternatives (like veg patties) and it's wildly cheaper than store options Coming up on 3 years now, don't miss the meat or the grocery bill. I eat well for relatively little. I do cook most of my meals. If I have less will to cook, my city has dozens of veg restaurants and so many more with good options or vegan nights. I'd never go hungry looking around for a good meal
