Hi everyone! I have been a vegetarian for 14 years, I recently discovered that I don't really like to eat food that much, and I am eating way under what I should be eating... which I would have thought would make me skinnier, not the case. Ha Ha. Well, I am trying to be more healthy & exercise more regularly.

I'd really like to know how other vegetarians or vegans are doing on this thing!



peace.

    I've been a vegetarian for about 20 years and I've found it's pretty easy to buck the stereotype of the skinny vegetarian. :) The problem in my family is dairy, sugar, and fat. My husband likes to make things with lots of butter and cheese. He honestly doesn't eat a big quantity of food, it's just high calorie.

    As for me, I love to eat. I've started to try to eat a lot more vegetables (like salads) and when I do have extra calories, I'm trying to make good choices. I'm definitely a fan of beer if I have enough calories, but I'll also try to choose raw almonds instead of chocolate. It's pretty easy to make sure you're eating enough calories with nuts!
