Veg Boot Camp???

As I was surfing for recipes, I came across a link to this article, 28 Day Eat Green Challenge: Veg Boot Camp.  A very interesting read about whether to go vegetarian or not; about some of the "myths" surrounding protein, etc!
For me, I choose to go "mostly" vegetarian for health reasons.  I still eat fish occasionally, and if we are out at friends', and they serve meat, I eat it.  At first, I struggled to get enough protein, as I learned the ins and outs of it all!  Right now, I aim to get 1/2 gram of protein for every pound of body weight.  My main sources of protein are eggs, hemp seed, greek yogurts, nut butters, and sometimes a protein powder.  I am not the biggest fan of tofu (and I am not sure about too much soy, still waffling on that whole topic!).
Anyways, give the article a read; take what you can from it, and maybe even just try 2 days a week going Veg!!!

Good luck!
