I'm thinking it would be good to have a vegetarian section. What do you think? We have to come up with different foods to make up the protein, and I have the vegetarian menu from TP website. That said, I think it would be good to share our suggestions/discoveries.

I may be with you on this one. I was a vegetarian for quite awhile and loved it and was healthy but had gestational diabetes with pregnancy and now am pre-diabetic, so I need additional protein. Once I drop some lbs, my intention is to resume a vegetarian diet. I will be watching this section closely!!!

A quick note as I am vegetarian and going through it. The first opportunity I had testing a real protein I tested egg and it went fine. Then the menu suggested the next two days after that to use an approved protein (well, I had just tested one which is egg and Lynn says in her book not to eat egg every day) and I tested reactive to chickpeas so I was left with veggies again which was disappointing and boring. There should have been a advise not to start with egg on the first test in my opinion

It is very frustrating but have tried to overlook these things and hope they make edits if there is ever a 2nd edition. I am a vegetarian and I rotate lentils, eggs and chickpeas. I eat a handful of pumpkin seeds daily too. I also have nut butter, or goat cheese and sprinkle salads with hemp seeds. What frustrates me are the combinations. You can't have legumes with rice at the same meal and you can't have a grain with eggs, you can't have chickpeas with eggs. Needles to say, I've kinda burned out. I regained 1/2 of the 6 lbs I lost. I would be interested to hear what other protein people use. Good luck! Jenn

I've been on The Plan for 6 weeks and have lost the 5 lbs I haven't been able to lose in 10 years - and kept it off! Being vegetarian actually, pescetarian has made it hard, and boring as I've reacted to a lot of things. I'm still determine to stay on it as I feel great when eating non-reactive foods! I'm on the low-end or below the amount of required protein each day....but feeling fine. I tested OK to fish, eggs, goat cheese, lentils, chickpeas and rice. I keep rotating each of them but still have a lot of repetitive meals. I'm eating tons of fresh green from my garden and carrots, broccoli, kale and onions. I am also eating 1 serving each day of almonds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Tomorrow I'm testing pinto beans, would love to add re-fried beans to my regulars. I've had a few total cheat days as eating out or entertaining just doesn't work with The Plan. I just regroup the next day and struggle through the cravings and reactive symptoms and get back on track. I liked to hear other peoples experiences as this seems to work but requires planning and determination!
