Plant-based diets? Anyone else have good experiences with these, in terms of weight loss and health improvements? Please comment if you do. I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice.
My approach to weight loss tends to rely heavily on animal proteins and though I've lost 100+lbs previously, I've always regained it and more. Last night, I watched The Game Changers on Netflix. A documentary made 2 years ago, it argues that we should be sourcing our protein from vegetables rather than animals. It's very compelling on how animal protein exacerbates inflammation, cardio problems, cortisol and estrogen, while vegetables do the opposite.
I was vegetarian and began for several years when I was younger. The evidence in this documentary was convincing enough to make me want to do it again. My husband watched it too and agrees; we're going to try switching over, if not to an entirely plant-based diet, at least largely so. (We have a fridge & freezer full of meat, fish and dairy that needs eating first.) The emergence of so many new plant-based products should make it easier. I'm hoping that, combined with the 16:8 fasting we started this week, it might help us solve a lot of our middle-aged weight and health issues.

I agree with you (& the documentary even tho I haven't seen it yet) that we should all be eating more plant based food.
We started eating more beans as meals, (like Chili) but generally they have to be flavored with turkey for the hubby. Kind of defeats the purpose. I eat veggie burgers but we have to watch the salt bc some meatless products are very high salt.
I just don't know what to cook. I've bought tofu, seitan, & veggie cheese. I like the tofu as long as it's mixed with strong flavors. We don't like the veggie cheese; it has a weird texture & not quite right taste. The Seitan we haven't tried yet.
I will do more research for recipes & keep trying different products though!
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for the notes about the high salt contents and the cheese! I've looked up recipes to get us started and signed up for feastingathome.com, which has some nice ones. My hubby and I have always been so reliant on meat that we find it really hard to see non-meat as the main party!

Oh you're welcome! I wish they weren't so high in salt!
I looked at that website & I think I'll be able to eat some of the recipes. They sound really good, too. Thanks so much!
