Inspired by this thread and with the success a friend of mine has recently had with higher protein lower carb, I modified my diet this week and it's been going really well, weight wise and... now that I think about it, drink cravings. (I'm thinking eating this way is somehow helping me keep a regular exercise program as well.)

I bumped up the protein in my morning shake to 25 gm. I had been doing half of that trying to be frugal, but was hungry by mid morning. The 25 gr keeps me going well into midday. For my other meals I've cut out starches and am concentrating on protein, vegetables and fruit. I do find it somewhat challenging to eat this way as a partial vegetarian (I eat seafood).

I've been snacking on peanuts, peanut butter on apple slices, shrimp (I really liked that, but can get expensive, lol!)

Would be interested in hearing what others include in their diet as non-meat protein sources for meals and snacks.
