hate diet plans.

Hmmm....I have a question. I know I need to increase my protein. For those who don't eat red meat, and try to not eat much meat at all (I do occasionally eat poultry and have fish 2 times per week probably) - what are good protein sources?

Good other sources of protein are Legumes, Tofu, Eggs, curd...
To get a protein of higher value it's best to combine 2 kinds of protein. A lot of traditional foods show the right combinations of food to achieve this: very often it's a form of very protein-rich food combined with whole grain (beans + rice, egg + bread...).

Believe me you might feel abit better just weaning off the rice.

I actually get mini glucose crashes if I eat too much rice now. One of my sisters did lose 50 lbs because of this high glycemic tendency. It was good she controlled it because she would have tipped into gestational diabetes, with her 2nd child.


I still have awhile to go to wean. But I'm certain this rice weaning has helped me more than I realize, weight-wise. But then on the other hand, I still eat abit of dessert.
