Yep. But many are talking about the diet specific portion. Most people (at the beginning of vegetarianism) start on a hybrid diet anyway. Good to point out though. Many don't realize it's a lifestyle and not a diet. I believe in it, just don't follow it yet.

Lol. He needs to respect you and your choices. He can hide it and try not to eat it around you. Might not be fair For him p, but sometimes it's a group effort.

I don't think I would be. You have to be angry for a reason... Genetics and family life might have had a thing or two. But that's for you and your shrink, not me. Take care and see you next Tuesday!

Have you watched how they stun them? Yes very humane!

The law and general society also find it okay to kill your families killers family in some countries. American law (in most places) also bans people selling sex even though its proven as safer for everyone to legalize it. Just because things are generally accepted doesn't make it right! Years ago the general accepted idea…

Smartest thing you said! I'll shorten it for everyone : there are good and bad benefits to both vegan and meat eating diets for humans! Take your pick on what benefits & negatives when you choose your diet!

I didn't read past the first line. If you're so "classy" yourself - be the bigger person and leave the convo. It's obvious we can't help your cluelessness or we can't be saved by you. One or the other. I would suggest learning how to debate both better and logically. Also don't be the first to insult. It usually doesn't…

i kno a lot of peeps on here would flame u 4 asking! jk. fad diets dun work long term neways! Healthy 4lyfe changes do!

might be there is not enough fat in your diet. Happened to me when I started eating clean. Now I have more energy than ever. Open your diary if you don't mind!

yep. make sure they are ground as your body can't digest whole flax seeds. I buy them whole and use a coffee grinder.

going under won't hurt while losing weight (you'd have to have such a small amount to lose any muscle (like 54 g for women, and not much higher for men). Going over won't hurt either. You'll just poop out there rest you don't need. Going over by extreem amounts over an extended time is hard on your body though. - i.e…

Lay the facts out. During holidays who are the ones who are tired and sleepy after dinner? Who is more likely to get sick b/c of low immune system? To my experience it hasn't been my veggie eating friends. And hardly anyone eats the accepted wink and nod recommended serving of meat (the size of your palm). When I ate meat,…

Honestly I take a multi & other supplements as well... Not b/c of my diet (I believe many meat eaters should be taking some supplements too). The best way to absorb the nutrients in those green veggies is to eat them raw or throw them in the blender. If you are going to cook them, you'll lose some nutrients, but you can…

Once again... you seem to be playing with us b/c no one can be that dense! Do you really just don't get it? A woman having a cold pint of Guinness is also great for iron. In fact, Dr.'s in Irland tell pregnant women to have a pint for iron too. I just provided you a list of things with the highest iron. Here is another…

Yep! Flax is a big one.

Yeah, sugar is the culprit.

If it was hard, do what I did - remove processed foods, and eat the rest in moderation (extremely low moderation) except the vegan foods lol. After about a week it got easier. It seems every day after it gets easier and your body (and taste buds) start to respond better to that diet. Honestly I never had one that I know…

The hate for men is strong in this one. For the record - 7 out of 10 of the top "highest in Iron" foods are vegan, and 1 is vegetarian - only 3 contain animal products. Also meat has been LINKED with cancer. Here- from the National Cancer Institute (they can be bought too, so looks like the beef council's cheque bounced).…

Agreed, but... I still feed meat to my cats though! I feel it would be wrong to force my diet lifestyle on them... lol

When you find info on line, you have to also try to think about what benefits the person or group has to take a stance one way or another on a particular situation. FDA is one of the worst - they CAN be bought, and of course the Cancer Society can be bought!

Wow you showed us! A CNN "expert" answer from a member of the American Cancer society. A society who is funded HEAVILY by.... You guessed it! The DAIRY INDUSTRY! Non-bias info there! Thank you! I feel I have to explain my sarcasm though..... You may not have gotten it!

Come on guys - no need to reply back to Tina. Here is a quote from her: " being "vegan" wont help you lost weight at all. I had a teacher that was a vegetarian and he weighed about 300lbs.". Obviously she bases her opinions based on one off cases in her life. She doesn't understand that even vegetarians can eat very…

Says the faceless profile lady. No need to be ignorant or rude - or throw stones in your glass house. Also you can try to look beyond your nose and see a whole world of possibilites ahead of you! Unless you were not taught that... Dairy accounts for 60 percent to 80 percent of estrogens consumed according to Ganmaa…

Yes, but have you seen how fast vegan threads get derailed? lol

There is PLENTY of estrogen in milk too. Unfair to say soy when Dairy is huge in it. After all, dairy comes from nursing female animals. Foods Containing Natural Estrogens Note: Those rich in isoflavones are underlined while those foods rich in glutamate are in bold. Alfalfa Animal flesh Anise seed Apples Baker's yeast…

Quoted for truth.

I wouldn't worry too much. We don't need that much protein anyway. As long as you're around the 100g then don't worry. NSCA (I seem to write this every few days) suggest 0.34 grams of protein per LEAN body weight and up to 0.8 grams for high performance athletes. There is always room for improvement in the diet, but don't…

hemp. I prefer a protein shake (it gives me what I need while also satisfying my chocolate cravings). They have Hemp, brown rice, cranberry, alfalfa & pea protein. Genuine Health Vegan Proteins. Cheap too.

Pastuerized milk is not close to real milk. All the great things that were in it are killed off or altered in the process. They then have to add other things back into it. There are much healtheir choices than milk, but yeah, both have their pros and cons

If you are going to give him these drugs, be prepared for mood swings, and outbursts - remember it's not his fault. Another thing I remember besides not being able to sleep at night was it completely eliminated hunger. I may go 10 hours without wanting food. I know this may be a plus for some people, but that along with…
