Thanks for the welcome, Dylan and Robert! I pretty much avoid processed carbs now, so there's no need to make a change on that front. But I seem to get sluggish when my diet skews too heavily toward grains and legumes. I already eat boat-loads of veggies and a reasonable amount of fruit. I'm checking out the Vegaone protein I've seen mentioned here and hope to replace my whey with it. Any suggestions for a tasty substitute for Greek yogurt? Thanks for these suggestions. I already do a lot of plant-based cooking since we're all (except one) vegetarian. It's eliminating dairy -- especially cheese and cream sauces -- that may be tricky. I have a copy of Joanne Stepaniak's The Uncheese Cookbook and I need to experiment with it more. Thanks again!

Hi all, I am a long-time vegetarian who is interested in making the switch to veganism and hoping to gain information about how to clear my hurdles. The two biggies are 1) Feeding the other members of my family, three of whom are vegetarian and one who is pescatarian; and 2) ensuring enough protein without going high-carb. My desire to go vegan is rooted in ethics, not health. Although I believe it is a healthy lifestyle, I think there are many ways to achieve dietary health. I lift weights 4x/week and do some form of LISS 4-5 times per week. If it's not ok to be here as a less-than-full vegan, please let me know!
