Veg Diet Myth of the Day:

I won't feel satisfied without meat.

 

BUSTED. That old rabbit food image of vegetarianism still lingers in some corners of the globe, but c'mon: no one really eats that way, and if they did, they probably wouldn't feel satisfied. Substitute those vintage ideas of "healthy" vegetarian eating with a delicious 21st-century version: Grilled Portobello Tacos with Salsa Verde, Greek-Style Lentil Burgers, Linguine in Lemon Cream Sauce; Does this sound like deprivation? Remember: it's just the meat you're eliminating, not the other 90 percent of the food world. Try turning your favorite side dishes—potatoes, pastas, soups, and hearty grain-based salads—into main courses served with bread and fresh greens.
