I fight that same battle, about half of my meals are rabbit food now.
I switched to vegan about three months ago. I've already lost 2 notches off my belt I've lost so much weight. I never feel hungry. I'm not totally strict with it but I eat a lot of those Boca burger sandwiches with daves goodseed bread.
I haven't felt better in years.
Way to go Mike. I celebrated 24yrs in August.
