I have lots of problems: pre-diabetic, high cholesterol, easily bloating, acid relux, digestion issue, etc...
My biggest dilemma as a vegetarian is: not really wanting processed foods/products. When I am eating with regular diet. I basically buy raw and unprocessed groceries and make foods from scratch.
On the other hand, most vegetarian foods are processed, even TOFU! I mostly eat soy bean related food, from it's baby stage edamame to dry soy bean products including tofu, which is the least processed, and to other soy processed foods.
I include hemp protein and sometimes the frozen plant based products from UnMeat, Impossible, BeYond Meat, Morning Star ...etc.
I usually have 2-3 eggs a day. However, due to my cholesterol level, it's not good to incorporate so many eggs.
I eat varieties of beans and legumes, despite of getting lot of gas easily. Nevertheless, considering nutrition value, I put up with the discomfort for my stomach.
Any suggestions. Thanks
