as women get older, thier estrogen decreases, which lowers the amount of fat that is stored, so that could explain why you are losing weight. if you are worried about losing muscle, try protien shakes, but don't worry about your weight too much if you feel healthy

No, I suggest you be sensible and eat a varied diet that includes all the EAAs. You can do that consuming meat, and you can do it without consuming meat. You don't even need to include quinoa. Imagine that.
I have never seen quinoa on a restaurant menu. The only place I've seen it for sale was in Whole Foods. All this talk of EAAs is BS if you can't find the plant food that provides them. You can get EAAs without consuming meat. No one is arguing that with you. The poster said that if you don't eat meat it's tough to get them without consuming animal-based proteins such as eggs and milk products. You need to read the posts more thoroughly. Imagine that.
Low fat diets are not the answer. Study after study has FAILED to find any decrease in heart disease or cancer for people on low fat diets.
Low-fat diets do not protect women against heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer or colon cancer, a major study has found, contradicting what had once been promoted as one of the cornerstones of a healthy lifestyle.
The eight-year study of nearly 50,000 middle-age and elderly women -- by far the largest, most definitive test of cutting fat from the diet -- did not find any clear evidence that doing so reduced their risks, undermining more than a decade of advice from many doctors.
There's nothing wrong with eating most kinds of fats. Avoid trans fats and possibly some types of saturated fats, and you will be just as healthy (provided you are thin) as the crazy guy who subsists on beans.
I believe that Moderation In All Things is the answer to our dietary questions.

First of all, I'm not sure why you bring up quinoa's presence on restaurant menus (I've seen it), or in grocery stores (should be pretty much everywhere).
Regardless, why is talking about EAAs "BS"? Plant foods do provide EAAs, and it's by combining them that you can get a complete profile. As far as I can tell, the post of Omega Runner which I was responding to seemed to think that the only way a vegetarian or a vegan could get all of his/her EAAs was through eating quinoa all the time, which isn't the case. I'm not quite sure what you're implying that I'm missing with my apparent lack of thorough reading.
Isn\'t soy a complete protein as well??

Somewhere in Africa, there is a tribe which drinks only whole milk, eats only beef, with some cow's blood thrown in there. They have the lowest cholesterol of any recorded people, and nearly zero heart disease.
The link between saturated fat and heart disease is unclear at best.
By the way, a low fat diet has repeatedly been shown to be no better than a normal diet. Fats are good for you, just try to eat healthier fats. There is also nothing really wrong with beef or dairy or eggs
