[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess this is unpopular: Americans are way too obsessed with "getting enough protein." Unless you are a very strict vegan, you are absolutely getting enough protein. And you don't need meat more than 1-2 times a week. [/quote]

I think this is really person-dependent. I have been on almost all eating plans/diet plans out there since the early 2000s..south beach, Atkins, weight watchers, paleo, 21 day fix, vegetarian, pescatarian, Mediterranean.

While I know that atkins and the super meat heavy diets are not for me, when I was vegetarian I was ALWAYS hungry, despite being a well balanced vegetarian who ate beans and tofu and healthy fats and plenty of fiber rich fruits and vegetables. Even as a pescatarian, I felt desperately hungry sometimes even though I was eating enough.

I actually don’t love to eat meat and would be a happy vegetarian, except that I could never control my hunger. 1-2 servings of meat a week may be fine for you, but it isn’t for everyone. [/quote]
