Hi all

[Guest guest]

Hello to everyone. I've been enjoying the posts and want to say

congratulations to you, Laura for the wonderful news! Hope your morning

sickness is over soon. I never experienced that with my two joyful

occasions! I remember having headaches and extreme tiredness in the

first trimester, and then after that it was a breeze! I, too, hope you

can stick around as long as possible, as the way we're striving to eat in

here is very healthy and can be supplemented with extra " good "

stuff....like good fats...extra grains, etc. I can remember during my

two pregnancies (my youngest is 18 now) having a quota of milk to drink,

and of course a vitamin. I don't see any reason at all that a vegetarian

plan would not be adequate--and of course, a lot better, for pregnancy!

 

And I'm including a question. I can sort of remember a reference in this

group to a group of vegetarian body builders. The reason I'm asking is

that my 18 yr old who just graduated has decided to continue his

highschool athletic endeavors and start going to the Y and do serious

body building. When he was in HS I would give him a protein shake in the

a.m. and try to feed him healthy veggies and grains etc. He played all

the sports, but was especially good in basketball, tennis, and track. In

my opinion, he was meant to have a tall, wiry, strong but thinly muscled

frame. In his mind, he wants to weigh at least 30 pounds more and be

super bulky. His partner in crime is about a head taller then he is and

must outweigh him at least 50 pounds....and he's telling my son he needs

to consume vast quantities of eggs and butter and whole milk and meat.

Last night my son came home an made an omelette with 7 --yes 7-- eggs and

a cup of milk and about a cup of grated cheese on top and choked the

whole thing down, then ate the green salad I insisted on making for him.

I'm interested in the vegetarian body shaping group because I think there

might be some good advice there that I can at least access and share with

my son. Does anyone know the address to this group and would they let me

join? Thanks in advance!
