i don't actually identify as a vegetarian, but i eat as one....if that makes sense. periodically i will eat organic free range beef.... but the rest of the time i eat alternatives. i also have celiac, so most 'fake' meats are out....so beans and tofu, tvp and high-protein grains like quinoa and amaranth are my options.

Hi David, I probably eat like you ( I call myself a semi-vegetarian . I tell people when they ask what I eat that I do not eat anything that ever walked on 4 legs. What kind of protein did you eat when you were completely vegetarian ?

Hi,
I was a vegetarian for 20 years but started eating meat (poultry and fish) again when I couldn't control my blood sugars for several years. This was becasue I was misdiagnosed as type 2 vs type 1. Eating meat again was honestly the hardesst thing I have ever done in my life (I became vegetarian for ethical reasons) but I feel physically better when eating meat (and I ate plenty of protein when completely veg). I guess I'm what you call a flexitarian. I mainly eat vegetarian but I sometimes do eat non-veg even though it's not my real preference. I'm still sensitive to vegetarian issues so if me being a meat eater is offensive to those here, let me know. I thought I would join since I enjoy eating vegetarian and have lots of expereince eating vegetarian and also while being diabetic.

Here is the way to make spag. squash. They are oval and yellow. Cut off the stem from the end, then cut the squash lengthwise thru the middle i of it. Scoop out the seeds ( as best you can) and put to on a large microwaveable plate and heat for 10-15 min on high. Take it out (it will be VERY hot) and let it sit for about 10 min on the counter or table. Take a fork and with the tines (points of the fork) scrape down the inside of the squash. It will look just like spaghetti. I usually put the squash in a bowl and pour some pasta sauce over it (Heat it first.) There yo have low carb spaghetti, that tastes really good. Any questions, just get back to me.

Forgot to mention you need to use Rome Beauty apples. They don't fall apart when microwaved.

The microwaved apple tastes even better if you sprinkle the top of it with cinnamon & nutmeg. Also add a little water to the dish. You first need to core the apple and peel the skin down about 1/3 of the apple. I make 3 or 4 at a time then just warm them up when I want to eat one. Delish !!!!
