It's super easy and my family loves it. http://caloriecount.about.com/lentil-rice-pilaf-cucumber-sauce-recipe-r160716Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304973378840170560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-27627111761340078182012-07-16T22:20:26.662-04:002012-07-16T22:20:26.662-04:00Honestly Meghan, I wish I could say moral reasons ...Honestly Meghan, I wish I could say moral reasons play a part. For me it's just never been about that. I guess I feel like not contributing to horrible animal treatment is an added bonus. I am more freaked out by what is in the meat based on what the animals are fed and the conditions in which they live. And even that isn't as huge a part of it! I know there are a million things that enter my world every day that aren't good for me. This is just one thing that has stuck in my head I guess. I will say I do feel better in some ways. After I eat a meal I almost never feel sluggish. I do feel that meat can contribute to feeling weighed down. What I struggle with is carbs. I do really well in the fruits and veggies department, but I eat too many carbs sometimes to fill in the gap. While quinoa and lentils are high in protein they are still very high in carbs. So I still want to find a way to feel satisfied while not filling in with carbs. That is by far the hardest part. It's a really good thing I love vegetables (more than fruit usually)!Jana Burrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661070303089465262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-82381116433614118142012-07-16T16:45:34.030-04:002012-07-16T16:45:34.030-04:00I love you and your honesty!I love you and your honesty!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815894067863378047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-11262798045350939182012-07-16T16:38:09.199-04:002012-07-16T16:38:09.199-04:00Very interesting.

I was mostly vegan while we were trying to figure out why my breast milk was making Ella's tummy upset. <br /><br />I'm at the point where I think my diet needs a major overhaul but I'm just not sure what it should look like. We have friends who went the Paleo route for health reasons and had great results. <br /><br />Do you feel better physically from eating less meat or more so from a moral standard?Meghan Splawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943993511295863188noreply@blogger.com
