And no, I don't think about eating meat anymore because once you know how to make the diet work for you your cravings literally banish. It's about eating enough carbs (good ones) to keep you satisfied. Whole grains do wonders to give you energy and eliminating cravings. I became vegetarian mostly for ethical reasons, but I really did dig into the health aspects and it's really beneficial!

I mean think about it, eating another species when we are not carnivores (maybe not even omnivores, probs not) and drinking the milk meant for their babies (which is supposed to make the calf grow twice it's size in a week) can't possibly be healthy. They inject hormones and yeah, not natural or healthy. I'm not trying to attack anyone's eating habitd by the way, I'm just trying to clarify a bit.

People should definitely become vegan or vegetarian though. Anything that comes from an animal is not healthy

Hmm... I have done some research and I'm really impressed by the results once you become a vegan has.. Your thinner and also some say they feel better and happier. I'm going to give it a shot! And see if I get in fine. Have you got any recipes for me ?

How are you

For you*

@paola: how long have you been a vegetarian for? I actually don't like the thought of eating an animal that used to have a life, but scientists have proved that eating meat much more protein than any other sources.

I've started changing some lifestyle ways some of these are now essential for me(:

Meat and dairy has been linked with heart diseases and different types of cancer. Overall, taking them away from your diet is the healthiest thing you can do. You just need to know how to do it right. Lots of fruits and eating enough calories and carbohydrates. Which is plenty. And to the other commenter: everything has protein. You can find protein anywhere. Plus, too much protein can also be a bad thing too.

I was a vegetarian for 7 years, vegan for 2 of those. I now eat some seafood, lean means, and occasionally grass fed beef. As long as you're aware of the source of your food, I think it's fine. You should do whatever feels right for you. I never noticed any significant difference in my health between eating meat and not eating it......other than perhaps my skin actually improved when I stated eating meat again. That said, again, it's a very personal choice and you should just do what's right got yo
