Vegetarian: to be or not to be?

I’ve been a vegetarian for 28 years. I believe it has been good for my health. The main reason I became a vegetarian was for health reasons. I think you can have a healthy diet without being a vegetarian but most people would be better off if they cut back on meat, fowl, fish, eggs, and dairy and ate more whole grains, vegetables, and fruit.

I’m a vegetarian, and over the period of 3 weeks.. I’ve lost 8 lbs…and I’ve gotten motivated to run 2 miles every day…

being a vegetarian is very hard work. Vegetarians are dedicated to a cause, not just to loose weight.

To become healthier you start eating healthy food.

IF you are wanting to become a vegetarian to not eat animals then yeah I’d say go that way. Vegetarians make up for their protein that comes from meat by eating other things. like peanuts or drinking protein drinks.

Eating red meats every night is not healthy. Switch between chicken and fish. Replace potato chips with carrot sticks. A candy bar with an apple.

And exercise is always a way to get yourself healthy.

BEST OF LUCK. I’m glad you are making the switch You won’t regret it!

I believe humans were suppose to eat meat. I believe this because we don’t make B12 which is mandatory for us to make new blood and live. We only get B12 naturally through eating meat and dairy. If we were meant to not eat meat I believe we would make our own B12.

That being said, I believe we eat way too much meat and thats bad for us. I believe the healthiest choice is eating meat in moderation. There is no reason every meal needs to include meat and meat does not need to always be the main focus of our suppers.
