Trying it out, again.....

Vegetarian that is.
I did it before, for about 2 years and started adding fish.
I lost a lot of weight and felt better.
I have trouble digesting meats, but chicken and fish do not hurt me.

I was told to start limiting my meat intake instead of going cold turkey, so to speak.
It seems like a smart choice. But get there gradually.

Is there anyone here that was a carnavoir and went vegeterian??

How's that working for ya??

Started it today!!!

I have fruit salad
granola bar
fruit and fiber yogurt
cheese crackers (4)
water and diet green tea

I had a 1 egg omelet with cheese, and two veggie sausage patties and low sugar (1 cup) OJ so far.

I haven't gone vegetarian but I don't eat a lot of meat. I was vegetarian while I was pregnant since I couldn't tolerate meat. I like to eat:

Quorn nuggets and Burgers
Trader Joe's Veggie corn dogs
Trader Joe's Southwest Veggie Burgers (with brown rice and packed veggies)
Morning Star Veggie sausage

Good Luck with the change.

Six weeks ago I decided to change my lifestyle to get healthy, so I cut out most processed foods and most meat. I would maybe have grilled chicken on my salad or grilled fish for dinner.

Two weeks later I decided to go vegan. I have never felt better! I eat fresh fruits and vegetables, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, beans, steel cut oatmeal, and rice milk. I only drink water, and when I need something extra to get in my protein or all of my calories for the day, I make a banana protein smoothie with rice milk and rice protein.

Will I be a vegan for the rest of my life? I'm not sure, but for right now it's working for me.

Good luck!

It's funny, i was a strict vegetarian for almost 17 years, then when I got remarried to an omnivore, I started eating meat and then that's when I started gaining weight! Being veg was so much healthier for me and I'm really thinking about doing it again (although not strictly, I will eat seafood... I live on the gulf coast afterall, lol!) I gained 25 lbs in 3 years and I'm so upset. I've never had a weight problem until now, I've always been skinny, so this is really hard on me. I think being a mostly veg-head will help with my weight loss, so I'm gonna try hard to be one again.
