I was vegetarian for 9 months last year, and I'm not repeating the whole thing...got on a diet that required animal products, and then started eating meat again.
Started doing yoga, felt a shift in my diet, and now I'm vegetarian, nearly vegan. Last year, I put on weight, and I think it's from too many starches or carbs, and little exercise. I do hot yoga 4 times a week now, burning 700 cals, so that's taken care of. The thing is, how can you avoid eating too much rice, pasta, bread, couscous...all those things?
I actually think I've figured it out, visualize the plate, and make 1/4th of it with the starch,and the rest with the vegetables. (which I didn't do tonight, with the pasta and broccolli, but I should've.) How do you guys do it? Most people who are vegan are so thin, so I know I have a ways to go, and that's not my purpose for doing this, but I did gain weight last year while vegetarian. I'll be vegan by the time i'm finished with this. I just don't have all my ingredients yet.
