5 Vegetarian Proteins & Roundup
I mentioned earlier that my wife and I might go vegetarian for a week and so I began researching some vegetarian sources of protein. As it turns out, there are plenty of proteins out there from non-meat sources so I figured I’d find five that could be our staples. The five are:
- Beans
- Tofu
- Peanut Butter
- Lentils
- Broccoli
This whole vegetarian thing is still in its nascent stages so don’t have any high expectations yet. 
As for this week in the fitness blogosphere:
- Lazy Man talks about how exercise is about more than losing weight. It can provide sleep and mood benefits as well.
- NCN has joined the the 100 pushups craze and cranked out the 42 pushups of day one, week one. Congrats!
- Israel shares some unconventional benefits of weight loss, including the donation of old clothes to charity!
- Weight Loss Journal has lost 53 lb., or 40% of his goal, so far. Here are his amazing before and after weight loss pictures.

Forty years ago I gave up a likely successful legal career to advocate for complete food labeling, whole, organic and vegetarian cuisine, environmental issues and the like. This was one of the best decisions I ever made.
If you want good reasons to go veg check out “21 Reasons to Eat Like A Vegetarian” on HealthyHighways.com and our popular veg cookbook, (the “joy of Cooking for vegs”) – American Wholefoods Cuisine. Good luck.
Nice list! Be sure to check out tempeh. It’s super high in protein (41 grams per serving) and really tasty! Quinoa and Greek yogurt are excellent protein sources, as well.
