They're a legume from the "you can get away with it in moderation" group? Greaaaaaaatt. So peas are not a veggie from the “Optimal” group?

I don't eat meat because it makes me want to gag when I think about what I'm eating. There are probably other reasons around animal welfare etc, but don't want to start a debate on that :) Can anyone tell me what the max carbs are that I can eat in any one day. I looked on fat-loss 101 and it said that any intake over 100g per day will lead to weight gain. I can do 100g a day on some days, but I'm a night owl and sometimes get the munchies when I can't sleep. I've tried saving my carb allowance for night time, but it's so hard. Can I have up to 150g per day do you think? thanks for your help. Hi

Are you religious about it. Or you think that you are helping the animals. I don't know where you are coming from. The important thing to lose fat is to get into low carb periods. This can be done by eating very little carbs during some times, could be by fasting. The longer the carb periods the faster the loss will be. You could fast all the time and lose a lot of fat, but the problem is that you also need a lot of vitamins and minerals for your body's daily needs. So you cannot go on a long fast also. Vegetarian or vegan diet is nutritionally very poor, so you must get a lot of supplements. I don't know where you will get enough Omega3. The only good supplement is fish oil. You must get some B12, zinc, etc. Read a lot about nutrition, if you are serious about living mostly vegan. It is a sure recipe to destroy your body. Vegetarians have at least some ways to get the healthy animal fats. I am also mostly vegetarian, but Mostly is the key word. And I am also thinking a lot about supplementing. Best of luck, may you survive your diet. @Eve

I don't eat meat, fish, or any flesh. I don't eat eggs or milk. I'm mostly vegan, but not arsy about it and will eat cheese if there's nothing else. Anyway, I need to lose weight (only about 20 pounds) and found that reducing carbs does help. But, it's such a problem as you can imagine - there's not much left to choose from. If you could advise me, what would you suggest I eat most of, or cut back on most, eg cut out wheat, increase beans - by the way I hate cooking but like potatoes! I do need to exercise more I know, and have started doing so, but I'm middle aged and don't want to overdo it, but I'm so sick of looking fat and feeling sluggish. I've only had this problem for about 8 years and was always slim and active before that (even though I was vegetarian). Hi
