So, I have stopped eating meat and dairy 11 days ago.  I still have my egg whites everyday and will have a regular egg now and then.  I wanted to do a meat detox after my first show because I have read stories about how long meat can stay in your body.  I also just finished reading "Skinny Bitch" and even though I do not agree with all parts of the book, the chapter on killing the animals is heart breaking and this has really opened up my eyes.  I was not a huge meat eater before, but had been recently during my competition.  I do not really miss the meat and I am eating other things and drinking my shakes to get in my protein.  The thing I am worried about it getting too many carbs.  I still want to drop about 10 lbs and build more muscle.  I also want to be able to get in my essential vitamins and nutrients and not take a lot of supplements.  Anyone have any advice for a new vegetarian?  Also, I am avoiding dairy, but LOVE cottage cheese.  Are there lactose free cottage cheeses or even yogurt?
