Congrats on losing the 30 lbs in 4 weeks. That is Amazing! It is not the meat, as much as the Fat that really makes the insulin resistance go away. Vegetarian meats are made from "carbs." I think Tofu has the best chance. Seitan is made of wheat gluten. Tempeh made of mico-spores (mushroom) and soybeans. If I were in this prediciment, I would stick with burgers made of portabello mushrooms. It looks like it will be very difficult to do on Vegetarian diet. However not hopeless. Maybe start to eat more olive oil and coconut oil? When you are having sufficient fat, you are usually not hungry and can eat much less. A person could literally do 5% carbs, 10% protien, 85% fat, and not eat meat. Since you eat eggs, can you also eat butter? I can go all day without eating on "bullet proof" coffee.
