Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hi, I am a SAHM of 3. I have tried to go vegetarian before, and have always been drawn back to meat. Perhaps because I was missing something, I don't know. I long to be a vegetarian and since I am increasingly lactose intolerant and sensitive to eggs, I guess that would make me vegan? I don't really know the differance. Anyway, my dh (major meat person) finally said to me (after 8 years of trying to work in a wholly vegan meal) that meat isn't necessary for every meal-just preferable. Trust me, this man doesn't change easily. I take it as a sign that I can start making meat free meals and get away with it. I would like to be able to go completely vegan as many nights a week as I can (even if it's only me) but I don't want to fail this time. How can I create a balanced meal that doesn't leave me craving for meat after 1.5-2 wks (and why is it always McDonalds that I crave?) Sidenote: my stepmom has also recently joined (though my dad-also meat person- will be reading the e-mails) because she was put on a special diet (only 15 g fat, no oil, no chol) for having super high cholesteral. I believe she said once that she was vegetarian before she met & married my dad and she can't stand to eat meat that she has touched when raw. (Hi Dad) Maybe you can lead us both in the right direction? Christina " As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them.
