re: Plant based diet?

The only meat subs I like are tofu and tempeh. Never cared for seitan, plus I try to avoid gluten. I have high inflammation issues and carb or sugar benders give me joint pain and a stiff neck. Sucks. I find that lentils are the best meat subs for tacos, sloppy joes, stuffed peppers, and even meat sauce. Portobellos kick arse too and are a great burger or fajita option. Eggplant makes for great cutlets and meatballs as well. We cook a lot of meals from recipes my wife finds from stuff like the Forks Over Knives book. Last night we had a crockpot meal of lentils, onion, sweet potato, coconut milk with spinach added at the end. Good stuff. We also have a plant based takery a couple of blocks from the house we hit up a lot. Living in Dallas it's fairly easy to eat as healthy as you want at lunch. My breakfast staple is a smoothie with almond milk, an apple, a banana, spinach, blueberries, almond butter, and an avocado. Love it.
