I've never been a fierce carnivore. But ive always said we have the teeth, we are SUPPOSED to eat meat.. So that got me thinking, do i eat meat because i LIKE it? Or do i eat it because I'm supposed to like it.  So i think its time for a bit of an experiment. For ONE week Im going to try a vegetarian diet. Thats right no meat what so ever. 0.0 Its

You should be fine! I love meat, but have gone without meat for months without ever noticing. And for a week, you don't have to worry overly much about a nutrient imbalance. Just focus on the good foods and you'll be fine. ^_^

oh, here's something easy that I really enjoyed: I steamed lentils and quinoa together. then I added a decent amount of olive oil, some salt and cut up pieces of soy hot dogs and mixed in. yum!

Of course, if Nick is a meatarian, then that would be difficult.
we'll just have to plan appropriate foods for you this wendesday.

=) that DOES sound yummy. I think a shopping trip to sprouts is in order. Yes! nick is definatly a "meatarian" he said that now this just gives him a excuse to go on his "anti vegan diet". He wants to make up for the amount of meat i won't be eating. lol

Beans are excellent sources of protein and if you can make a decent re-fried bean and cheese burrito then I'd be set for life. But that's just me.
