Somehow I knew this thread about one person's efforts to better herself in a meaningful way would decay to it's current state.

I click on the last page to see how it's going and promptly read Randy talking about how Debbie "likes weeners."

I approve of course and am certainly not above such talk. <g> Carry on!

I was told by someone yesterday that I should not be shocked at the rapid weight loss as a result of eating this way.

The main thing is that I take my vitamins. I have a formula for my age (50+), taking a calcium supplement and today I am going out to get a B complex because I read that most vegetarians tend to not get enough B vitamins.

In 6 months, I'll post before and after pics.

Typically, vegetarians do fine for the B vitamins, except for B12.

The amount in my daily vitamin is low and I was looking at it would be alright by itself if I ate a normal diet. By eliminating so much, I want to make sure that I am getting enough. Do you think that by supplementing b-complex that it would be too much? I am still dealing with some stressful situations and maybe it is a good idea that I supplement? Or am I better off researching for B vitamin rich vegetables?

I can always get a monthly B12 shot from my doc. He would not have a problem with that.

Thank you David. You just help me answer my own questions:

Sources of B vitamins

* whole grains, such as wheat and oats
* fish and seafood
* poultry and meats
* eggs
* dairy products, like milk and yogurt
* leafy green vegetables
* beans and peas

The items in red I eat. I just have to make sure I incorporate more leafy veggies.

Just go to GNC and you can get b12 pills there. I picked some up and have been taking them everyday.

See above Roody. I was sending my post when you were sending yours. He is right. I just have to make sure that I eat plenty of them every day.

Well, last night, I got home by 9 p.m. because I had to work an event after 5. I keep a protein drink mix handy with me when I have to do that. So, I had that at 5 p.m. to hold me over until I got home.

I had plenty of nourishment during the day between oatmeal, fruit, lentils and veggies. I did, however, eat a 1/2 avocado and had an orange when I got home.

I have a lot of walking in my commute and I dance 3x a week. I don't worry too much about the time of day I eat. I didn't really have to go to bed early either since I am off work today.

Ok, I didn't know if your diet required you to not eat after a certain time or not.

I don't worry about it because I have enough walking activity during the day, even on the days I am not dancing. What I am eating is really so light compared to the past. Now, if I ate a sandwich or other starches along with dense proteins, then I would say that is not good late at night.

I refuse to deny myself. I am one eatin GREEN Beeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaatch!!!

Still smoke and picked a quit date of July 15. By that time, I will be in a normal routine of eating this way. I am working on all of this with my doctor. He told me to do the following:

Be ready to taper off smoking while you build up your body with nutrition. Getting in the habit of proper nutrition will help support your body. July will be a good time. Let me know if you do start on that day.

Any other friggen questions you have because I know what you are trying to get at.

One Vice at a time beeeeyatch!!

Yep.

I did try the chantix. It is garbage and costly garbage at that.

Veggies are ftw, but you have to mix in a little meat to get your nutrients. Not even vitamins can give you everything you need. Why do you think vegetarians always look sickly?
