Red Days Anyone had luck with vegetarian red?

Thinking this may limit any gastro distress

Anyone had joy with it?? Xx

I am not sure what this means, sorry. Someone not eating meat/fish would do the green plan, surely?

 

[PatchworkPuss]

You don't have to eat meat on either EE or the red plan. I'm vegetarian and have done the odd red day but its not something I enjoy doing I must admit xx

 

[RebekahR]

Green is not agreeing with my crohns so figured I will try red

Think I'll be less sick without pasta or rice

Gonna give it a whirl! Thanks for the input x

I'd be interested to see how you get on, my losses have stalled and I've considered doing Veggie Red although I imagine it's very restrictive x

 

[RebekahR]

Only been a couple days but so far good! Tummy happier

Not really restrictive as can use b choice for measured pasta /potatoes if you want

Im avoiding both for now

If you are following red and not eating meat, where is your protein coming from?
I really don't think this is a very balanced eating plan and not really something I think SW or a consultant would recommend.

Just my thoughts.

 

[lentil2]

Plenty of protein in eggs and quorn........

 

[jaylou]

As long as they are eaten each day.
I just don't get it, it's not what the original plan is for and, as a consultant, I would never recommend it and can't see anything in our info to do so.

Each to to their own

There are plenty of sources of protein available for veggies - tofu, quorn, soya mince, eggs, cheese, pulses, lentils etc etc most vegetarian would eat any number of the above every day.

I used to be a veggie but not anymore, just done a red day, its more about limiting your carbs rather than eliminating them. Have you tried cauliflower rice? Everyone is raving about it. As long as each day does contain a good balance of protein, carbs, healthy fats, fruit and vegetables then I don't see why you can't do it?

 

[jaylou]

Pulses and lentils wouldn't be free on red though. I didn't realise about quorn, I was thinking more pulses etc.
personalky I would follow green and limit carbs rather than restricting all green free foods, which you do on original.

Anyway, as said, just my thought.

 

[RebekahR]

My consultant suggested cutting out Superfree which I did. I however gained and couldn't sustain long term

I can tolerate certain fruit or veg but not when combined with the pasta/rice very well. I tried sticking with green I was very bloated and vomiting all the time

I know sw is good just takes some tweaking for my own health conditions!

Know it might sound odd! But green with no Superfree wasn't working out for me either - that was my consultants advice

Exactly that......SW is not a one size fits all. It's a great plan, there's no doubt about it but you have to find out what works for you. Don't forget, there's protein in yogurts too
