In reality it is not only what you are eating but how much you are eating........I became very ill in Oct '07. After getting better and back on my feet....I started eating what I considered to be healthier foods. I cut out salt completely from my diet and started drinking water more, tool long walks and ate 6 smaller meals a day instead of 3 larger meals.
well a year later I am proud to say that I have lost 117 pounds and never have felt better in my life, would I like to lose more weight, yes of course and I know that continueing what I am doing will help me in that. |

every vegetarian i know is overweight. they eat an abundance of bread, pasta, cheese, etc. meat contains proteins which are essential to your diet and good health...that's why we have pointed teeth, so we can tear sinewy flesh from the bone  Ugh! I avoid the bread and pasta because I get so bloated. I love my veggies and throw anything on a salad. I don't eat starchy food because it boggs me down and increases the cholesterol counts. I live for my poultry and seafood on a salad any day! |

i was a vegetarian for 2 yrs and didn't gain weight (i ate very little carbs, mostly raw veggies) but began to get sick a lot. i went to the dr. and he put me on vitamin supplements. still, i would get colds often and they would last 3 times as long as normal. i added fish to my diet and it drastically improved the situation. that was a long time ago. i loooooove bloody meat now and eat lots of it mmmmmmmm

 you can have a balanced vegetarian/vegan diet just have to work it out from what i understand. |

Best book out there is "Fit or Fat" by Covert Bailey, he has a Masters Degree in Biochemistry from MIT.
Aerobic activity is the KEY to weight management and fitness. You can live a very healthy life without eating meat. |

Hey! I was thinking about just going back to a balanced diet where nothing but red meat is restricted. I've been vegetarian/vegan(alternating) for the past year and have gained 10-15 pounds. Is a balanced diet better than a vegetarian one? I've heard of people being on every day diets but not a vegetarian one. I mean from what I understood is people who are vegetarian do not eat any kind of meat at all, I could be wrong just what I thought I have seen and heard from different tv shows and people. None the less any kind of balaned diet is better then none at all. The choice is your's and what you really like to eat. If your not getting everything you need when your on the vegetarian diet then maybe you need to change your diet plan or something else. That's part of the problem. My family doesn't support it, so I really just live off of bread, vegetables, and fruit. No protein? A body needs carbs and protein. They work together to make energy. Btw, you look very thin in your pics. |

Is a balanced diet better than a vegetarian one? Were you eating a high carb diet while you were vegetarian? That is probably the problem. You look very trim and healthy in your photos. The recent gain could be due to a lot of things but if you cut out the red meat and then replace it with too much sugar and other high caloric sources, the weight will come on slowly but surely. |
