But really, I'm curious because this thread has gotten me thinking about trying this. I'm just petrified that I would let my carb addiction run wild. This is a serious concern, haha.

I don't eat a lot of meat as it is (only a few times a week) but I'm curious: what is a typical meal for you guys?
If you're serious, be sure you make the change gradually. The key is to try to get well-balanced meals and always try for some kind of protein to go with your carbs. Try switching to more complex carbs like whole grains, brown rice, etc. That way you will get more protein and fiber with your carbs.

It's really not that hard--I also eat a lot of beans, veggie substitute products, eggs, dairy, and veggies and fruit of course! I think there is this misconception from some people that you have to eat tofu all the time.
