I've been a vegetarian for 14 years now..started when I was 16 years old and worked at Burger King. Ended me on beef. Gave up on birds a few years later. Tried giving up fish but found I got too weak and needed SOME animal protein.
For me, veggies are most palatable in nice stir fries with plenty of sauces. Sodium's not much of an issue for me so I don't mind soy, and if you get sauces without corn syrup in them then sugar isn't a worry.
At this point in my own health considerations, what I really need is a regimen of exercise. I simply cannot seem to find the time to go to the gym. I work from 6:30 - 3:30 every day as a teacher, take evening classes once or twice a week, and have tons of papers to grade. I go to bed at 10:00pm and wake up at 5:30am. AND I'd like to occasionally see my wife. I just don't see the time in my schedule for what would basically be a 2 hour chunk of time, 3 times a week (getting to the gym, changing, working out, showering, getting home).
And yet I *know* I would have more energy/be less depressed/etc if I worked out....

Anyone find a magic formula?
