    Hi Mazzyp, I’m vegan and I’ve been following the BSD for 2 weeks now. So far I’ve lost 7lbs.
    I have used some of the recipes in the book and have adapted some of the meaty ones. For example I used soya mince in the skinny chilli. I think it can be done as a veggie, and so far I’m feeling great.

    I have a problem with meat replacements as it’s the texture of meat I don’t like ( and haven’t eaten meat, soya or tofu etc for over30 years) . will it be ok to substitute vegetables for meat?

    Hello

    I have just joined the forum tonight(only 2cnd day of the 8 weeks) and I totally identify with what you say about meat replacements, so far I have used paneer, eggs and cottage cheese as my proteins and I have just bought some black beans to use in recipes-
    I think that my vegetarian diet had made me become over reliant( and over fond of) carbs so I am hoping to acquire some better eating habits !

    Hi I’ve been substituting some of the meat with other products as I usually eat several meat free meals a week. I’ve found a cheap low carb vegan cookbook on Amazon which has some ideas and I’ve prepared spiced scrambled tofu to have with the portobello mushrooms. The beetroot falafel from the diet book was good and I’ve had a tofu topped roasted vegetable bake ( tofu, garlic , soya milk and herbs blitzed and put on top). You need to use protein Mazzyp or it won’t be a balanced diet. Quorn could be an option for you, soups with beans or chickpeas. Good luck
