[QUOTE="one100grand, post: 338804, member: 4189"] I'm not suggesting this as a diet and I didn't mean it to come off as that. I also want to make sure that I say that it's not intended to generate weight loss - it just happened to coincide with weight loss in our case. I agree that cutting out processed food is an excellent step and is one that I've also worked on taking. Neither my wife or I have had fast food in the past 6+ months and I think we're both better off as a result. As for the Protein sources on a vegan diet, here are the recommended things I found at a quick web search: quinoa, nuts, beans, tofu, leafy greens, and sunflower seeds. Speaking from experience, buy a bunch of raw nuts, they provide both fat and protein and are a healthy snack in general. For sources of Iron on a vegan diet, here are the recommended things: soybeans, quinoa, tomato paste, white beans, cooked spinach, dried peaches, prune juice :shock: , and lentils. I don't know that I'll be doing prune juice, but quinoa is pretty tasty when you prepare it right - I'll make sure I post the quinoa recipe on here so those who are interested can try it and see what they think. It has a poor reputation in a lot of circles thanks largely to Bud Light... For sources of Calcium: tofu, leafy greans, almonds or almond butter, tofu, navy beans, and broccoli are all excellent sources. [/QUOTE]
