Hello My name is Carmela and I am just (re)starting on step one. Since

I fell by the wayside last time I'm doing it with online groups and

such this time. On the one hand being a vegetarian for so many years

will makes parts of the program easier for me to follow (incorporating

complex grains including brown rice, quinoa, barley, etc) is not

unfamiliar to the way I eat anyhow. On the other hand figuring out how

to get enough protein and not get stuck eating nothing but soy based

products (I am not a big fan of tofu although I do enjoy edamame and

other soy based products) seems to be a big challenge. Especially this

whole 30 grams or so at each meal.

 

While I'm blessed to be in a region where its easier to pick up such

products (the san francisco bay area) it still seems to be a bit of a

challenge for me.

 

What are some alternatives to soy based products (not that I don't

appreciate the veggie ham/bologna/turkey/groundround/soyrizo -mmmm),

just that I would like some variety.
