Don't ever feel silly for making positive life changes! If only more people knew the benefits of a vegetarian diet. Let's just say that I'm (ahem) of a certain age and as I look around I see most of my peers suffering from one malady or another. I really believe that my diet has, so far, kept me malady free. Congrats on your five months as a veggie!! TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I feel a little silly typing this, but yesterday marked five consecutive months of a plant-based diet for me. I was working at a pizza place until recently and eating a lot of pizza (sometimes with cheese). I also went through my french fry, dorito and soda phase. Here recently I have discovered veggie chicken nuggets, franks, and even kielbasa. I am healthier now than I have ever been! I try to eat more fresh green vegetables, salads and fruit and also drink a protien supplement with soymilk. I have forgotten what dairy milk tastes like. I am new to this group and am looking forward to making some new friends. I find it amazing how many people say things like, " you know, I could be a vegetarian, but I would still eat fish and chicken. " ??????? I don't get it.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Congratulations Steve! It's an accomplishment to be proud of. I have to agree - you do feel better when you eat healthier. Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hey Steve, I never post since I don't have time being in college but I'm home today visiting here with my Aunt Donna and my Gran and decided to read the posts. Don't feel silly. I'm a 23 year old vegetarian and almost even a vegan since the diary started to make me sick. I still go out and eat pizza with my friends but I always suffer if it has cheese. My cholesterol is down to 170 from almost 279 when I was 17 yrs old. and I dropped 20 lbs. and have a whole lot of energy now. Keep up the good work.
