Vegetarian Diet and Vegan Diet

My wife and I stopped eating meat last August. She went completely Vegan, and I am a Pesca-Vegetarian (still eat fish so far), and the results have been incredible. My wife had been trying to talk me into this for the longest time, but I could never imagine giving up red meat, chicken, or Pork. Then I watched a video on the Empirical study based on the China Study. I am only mentioning the "Forks over Knives" video because it is what changed my mind, permanently. I believe you can find it free, borrow it from a friend, or just read about the study on-line, but after that there is nothing to buy (besides changing to a whole food and grain diet) and it is life changing. Again, I am not selling anything and have nothing to gain by telling you about this irrefutable evidence on what our body needs, and does not need. 45 pounds just fell off with little to no exercise, and my wife dropped 50 pounds. We just started an exercise program at a local gym and we feel wonderful. No more heartburn, indigestion, or blotchy skin. I am 56 and my wife is 44, and I have not felt this good in 20 years. Just wanted to share this because it is for everybody. #1 question from everyone is how do you get your protein? Answer: Beans, rice, baby spinach, green vegetables, peanut butter, legumes, quinoa, tempeh, seitan, tofu, and the list goes on. I recently posted a picture on my facebook that says it all; it is a picture of a gorilla and he is "saying", "I am a Vegan, ask me how I get my protein". It amazes me how foreign this concept is to most, even spell check cannot find seitan and tempeh. Along with Tofu (use firm) you can flavor this wheat protein however you want to work as a sub for any meat dishes you like. It has been fun learning a whole new way to cook and find our nutrition, and now we are hitting the gym to tone up and stay strong. For you skeptics and "gorillas" out there check out Body Builder Billy Simmonds and he will dispel all the myths for you. Again, I do not know Billy and there is nothing to sell. All you have to do is start changing your grocery store purchases to healthier food. Had to share because this could save your life. Still not convinced? You can watch Sanjay Gupta's "The Last Heart Attack" for free on You Tube. Find out what many doctors do not want you to know. Coronary bypass is big business! Peace and stay strong!
