this bit stood out for me

SUMMARY:
Beets have a high water and low calorie content. Both of these properties are beneficial for weight loss.
 
I’m ignoring those two

just when I see that beetroot burger in supermarket makes me feel sick just looking at it
I’m not a fan of beetroot burgers, or the worryingly red colour in the bog the next morning!!!
I think Donner Summers kebabs are made from Seitan, which is basically the protein found in wheat.
I don’t feel the need to have meat substitutes tbh (had a shepherds pie tonight but made from lentils) but there’s loads of options such as pea protein, nuts etc as well as soy

Try one. They’re good (had a seitan kebab in Glasgow last week which tasted exactly as I remember meat ones from Kashmir tasting like)

Long time ago some vegetarian friends, they'd made a mushroom pie (not magic ones), proper pie, pastry all the way round, veg and gravy to go with it. I'll swear if I was blind I would have hardly known it wasn't meat. I always put loads of greens in shepherds pie, cabbage, kale and suchlike, it renders the meat almost superfluous, it just makes up the bulk.

You can do similar with bolognese/minced beef dishes.

Equal quantity of finely grated onion, carrot and celery to match the weight of mince and the whinging kids don't even know its there, you just get twice as much.

I had a vegetable lasagne last week for first time and it was lovely.

Still gonna have Bacon Roll and brown sauce though.
