Soy products contain phyto-oestrogen - which is a ladies hormone, does not work well with testosterone.... If you boobs are getting bigger beware. When US cattle are injected with female hormones the greenies think its a very bad thing, but when soy is fed to the population in vast quantities apparently that is a good thing.

Quorn mince benefits from a good strong stock adding to it. For bolognaise or chilli I use tomato puree instead of chopped tomatoes so that I can add the liquid in form of stock rather than tomato juice.

I've been eating it for years and still not managing to get those results :D

The 'Oumph' brand chunks were excellent for stir-fries etc but they've been withdrawn from sale, apparently because traces of mustard were finding their way into the food that wasn't declared. It's a shame as in a chinese-style recipe, it was virtually indistinguishable from chicken.

WAKEUP call Bri. you dont even need to loose weight you just need to cut out meat and other things like cheese.

Re: Vegetarians....
 

I have to admit I have just moved away from a meat based diet over to a more veg based one as well, 3.5 years of losing weight gone after 9 months of working from home, when you cant get your leathers you have had for a decade and a half done up any more you know it really has gone too far (That and riding in 2 degrees in Jeans was freaking cold)

well i was a pig over xmas and new year and put on half a stone.

Re: Vegetarians....
 

I had got 5 kilos off and got down to 85 (13 stone 3lbs from 14 stone) by cutting out sugar and eating less bread, this took a year or so.

Unfortunately, with xmas and my wife's 50th a couple of days later, I'm back to 14 stone :)

Having said that, I'm not sure where the weight is hiding as it's not in my gut any more, my jeans still hang lower than my boxers waistband :)

[edit] After I'd left the Navy and was living alone I decided to go veggie (my dad's been veggie since a very young age and I thought I'd give it a go). I found that Indian foods, especially Gujarati (sp) dishes made it very easy to follow a vegetarian regime - something my dad has discovered 30 years later - he loves a veggie biryani now!

Oh a good veggie curry is epic. I'm lucky that my local does a cracking one

I always eat my meal with veggies. I feel like it balances everything up.
