Anon- I am not a strict vegetarian-i eat fish eggs, milk etc.., but i have been managing alright. I have simply shifted to more complex carbohydrates. Instead of following a diet ,per se, i generally try to keep to the lower end of the glycemic index. I eat whole grains, brown rice etc.. i have lost almost 20lbs and am very close to being merely overwieght as opposed to obese(hey, it is a small triumph for me). I have been taking these approach since august and been pretty consistent about exercising. if you like following a diet, you might take a look at the Soy Zone. here is a link to a glycemic index if you're not familiar with one: http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm Good Luck
