Thank you so much for the tips.

So far, I've had the following progress.

* weight loss of 5lbs! I'm not over weight, so this is odd, as my calorie intake has remained the same if not risen

* yellowing of the tongue

* slight cold like symptoms (although this could be coincidental, although I rarely get colds since turning vegan (thanks Steve!!))

* increase in energy and positivity (although this could be psychosomatic)

* decrease in appetite

I have read aroudn the subject if legumes/pulses are protein or starch and the slight majority of literature available says starch.

Not sure if I woudl eat beans on toast at this stage, as it would probably defeat the object of my 30 day trial - however, I will see if fruit continues to be substantial enough for the longer term.

Thanks again for the tips - keep them coming!
