One other thing I found was lentils/beans are not always good with my gut, maybe its the so called "anti-nutrients" who really knows. However, I had no problems at all with split peeled yellow mung beans. They are somehow very easy to digest and cook. My GF always asks "How come this tastes like meat?"... the secret ingredient is umami Asafoetida ;). One more option is the various high-tech meat substitutes. "Sunfed chicken" is available in my country, which I have on occasion. Pricey but good at the start to break the psychological hold of meat and wean off it. | |

Although we talk in terms of proteins and amino acid combinations, I believe that there's more going on in our gut than we currently know. Somehow, I feel that the way the gut responds to certain types of food and absorbs them may play a role here. Also, meat would have a much greater proportion and variety of proteins. For now, I just cannot substitute a non-veg diet with a vegetarian one. It just didn't work for me. | |
