I see her every year. I told her that, and I quote, "For the first time in my life, since I was 6 years old, I am losing weight, not hungry, satisfied, and happy with a Vegan diet/lifestyle. She said, and I quote, "What about protein!?? You can't just eat rice and potatoes and starch!! Where do you get your protein??"For the life of me, I could not remember where I get my protein from. I think it is soy products, but what do I know? However, I think I resented being made to feel like I had to defend myself. So I did not answer her. Nyah Nyah Nyah.Where do we get protein from? Am I supposed to worry about this??? I think I need to go lay down or something. At any rate, it WAS reassuring to know that these doctors is crazyyyy.Cynthia Tell her we get our protein from whole grains, beans, nuts and soy products. Potatoes also have alot of protein. I read one time...that during WW2 two scientists did an experiment and subsisted on potatoes only for 2 years. They remained in excellent health attesting to the nutrition of potatoes. It maybe helpful to share with her, after doing some research in the Net, all the cultures that thrive on a plant based diet. Me, beans are the key. Beans satisfy the need for protein...and quite nicely for 19 years or so! Kristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
