Hi Natrushka. I have been reading your post, and thanks for al the valuable info. i am new here and have a couple of questions. Well I got the BFL book yesterday and would love to start the program as soon as possible. The only problem is that I am a vegetarian and i really dont like dairy either, how can I get all the protein in? Do I have to get the supplements recommended or can I use something else? I have like 40 lbs to lose. Any commets/advice will appreciated. Thanks!
