I'm not Ken, but I've been a vegetarian for over a
year now. I just got back some blood work from the doctor and found not only
were my iron and protein levels normal, but I actually had a lot more of
each than a normal person! I'm perfectly healthy and I didn't read any books or
get any help.
I replaced meat with lots and lots of beans! Every
kind of bean, lots of tofu, soy products (morning star farms makes *good* veggie
chicken stuff, "spicy black bean burgers", etc), tempe(sp?), dark green veggies,
and cheese. I usually eat enriched bread/wheat products and the
rare egg. I drink Soy Milk nearly everyday with cereal (tons of
calcium, protein, vitamins). Vanilla flavor is so good I don't see how anyone
even drinks real milk. I eat lots of potatoes too. You'd think they were
filler, but a good look at the nutritional content and you'll realize how good
they are for you. Oh, and almost forgot, I eat lots of nuts.
I also take a simple generic-brand multi-vitamin
and run/bike/horse back ride whenever possible.
If I could get away from the meat substitutes
(which sometimes contain egg), and the cheese, I'd be a ""true"" vegetarian, but
my life at this particular time doesn't allow me to cook for myself very often
or be super choosey about what I eat.
