Any new vegetarians here now?

[zakatak]

Just wondering...

How strict you are... I don't eat any animal products (dairy, meat, etc...)

How has your weight loss been... very good. In fact, when I cut down on the sugar & breads, it keeps coming off.

Have you been to WDW since turning vegetarian? I have and have found some great things... Columbia Harbor House will sell you the vegie chili in a cup for $3.00 vs. the bread bowl for $6.00.

Is your family vegetarian? Mine isn't so I still cook regular meals for them. I just pop a soup from the freezer into the microwave for me on those days. But 3 days out of the week they eat my meals.

Will you keep it up? I will. It seems the only way I can control my weight as well as eat alot! There are so many alternatives that I don't miss things like Ice Cream and Pizza. I crave things like Hummus and Guacamole!

If we have a few vegies, maybe we can get our own recipe list at the top! I would think it would help the WW people also (probably not the Atkins people though).

That's all...

I'm not a new vegetarian, about 12 years now, but I'm going to answer the questions anyway

How strict you are: I eat no meat, very little dairy.

How has your weight loss been: The first 10 years I gained, gained, gained, then figured it out (the bread and sugar thing)and have lost 30 pounds over the last 2 years. I've already reached goal, but I want to lose another 5 to have some leeway.

Have you been to WDW since turning vegetarian? Many times. Love Pecos Bill's Kit Carson Salad without the chicken. I could eat it everyday (it has cheese in it, though).

Is your family vegetarian? Nope, I cook DH meat, but I have have a tough time handling it raw.

Will you keep it up? Absolutely. I feel great all the time.

If we have a few vegies, maybe we can get our own recipe list at the top! Sounds good. I make a great Southwestern Vegetarian Soup.

I would love a veggie recipe list. I'm not vegetarian, but I do eat losts of vegetarian dishes! I, too love huumus, guac, salsa, etc., and would rather have a bella than a burger, bean chilie instead of beef, roasted veggies instead of fries. I think it'a great Idea. I'm not sure that these foods help me lose weight, but I do FEEL GREAT when I eat them. I have more energy, and don't feel like sleeping after a veggie meal, as is often the case with meat based dishes. I am for a veggie index!

Keep the Faith!
