Very happy flexitarian over here and loving it.
I’ve been this way for awhile, even before my adoption of clean eating.
And trust me, its hard to do in Atlanta cause I swear meat is a big part of every meal.

Another great job Erika, keep em’ coming!

Ain HD is right, the BEST source of protein is from legumes (beans) and green leafies! Same with Calcium–you absolutely don’t need dairy to get your calcium requirements. I’ve been a vegetarian for about 10 months now, but before I made the change, I read as much as I could about vegetarian diets and proper nutrition. The China Study really opened my eyes. And “Becoming Vegetarian” is a great resource. So far, I’ve lost about 80 pounds and I still have about 70 more to go. I was also 300+ and didn’t want to think about surgery, so I explored my alternatives and vegetarianism is what is working for me. Oh yeah, whenever you can, check out “Earthlings” on You Tube. I bet you’ll never go back to eating meat. Trust.

Thanks Erika, for this blog and for your gift of life to those among us who really need to save our own lives. You’re an inspiration!

Happy Vegan here! It’s important to note that you can suffer from malnutrition no matter what type of diet you have. You must have balance. Also, when choosing a diet, people need not fret about where their protein is coming from. There’s plenty protein in a vegetarian/vegan diet. The best proteins come from legumes, oats, green veggies and rice!

I’m a very happy flexitarian. I make a point to make fruits veggies and whole grains the main point of my meals and use meat as a nice little “accessory” if you will. For the most part it works.

I am looking for a lifestyle change and I know when I eat more fruits and veggies I feel a whole lot better. So I might become a flexaterian. My main problem is maintaining once I reach my goals.

I am not a vegetarian but I do not eat meat very often. I might eat meat twice a month, chicken, maybe once a week if I have to. Mostly I eat dishes that include vegetables, fruit, cheese, eggs, and fish (mostly wild). I agree with the comment above, I am a Flexitarian.
