Here is a vegetarian who never tasted ham in her life! By the way there is much more than fiber in vegetarian food!
Just this morning I posted on a different thread about how my low fat, low calorie vegetarian diet is making me feel better.

The last time I tried changing my diet I basically starved myself because I didn't pursue alternatives to meat, I just ate way less. I think I may try a primarily vegetarian diet with the addition of fish and maybe chicken.

I'm frustrated with the constant offering of medication from the doctor and lack of relief and thought I might be better served focusing on diet and exercise.
