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.
