RE: 1 Week Into My Low Carbohydrate, High Protein Vegan Diet.. Lessons Learned & Food Ideas!
I've been a vegetarian for five years and I didn't find it hard to find rich in protein foods so that's not the problem with becoming a vegetarian. The problem is with making it a habit of not eating meat anymore. We are full of habits and eating meat is one of them. I don't think that the human kind was meant to eat met or not. It's a matter of choice. The lion or the horse don't have such choices. We do.
I'm having a bit of a work to do with quitting on sweets. Another bad habit...
Aloha!
The digestive tract, jaw and other features of humans have much more in common with herbivores than with carnivores - so it is clear to me that it is easier to make the case for us also being primarily herbivores than for anything else.
The issue with protein/carbs is that the 'recommended' amounts for daily intake are not necessarily entirely accurate or appropriate for everyone and so if we want to have significantly lower carbs, we probably need to go much higher with protein - which isn't really an easy thing to do - just going by the numbers - but it can be done.
