are you a vegetarian?

I consider myself a moderationalist. I think that as humans we need to find balance and to listen to our bodies more. When I am hungry for steak, that is what I try to have. Same goes for salad. If I want carrots, that is what I have. I don't think it is healthy to be one way or the other. I think our bodies need nutrients and that they tell us what we need to be in our most healthy state. I also agree that exercise is important to good health. But, again, moderation for me is key. I really do not like to find into any category completely because I feel like I am shortchanging myself in many ways. I think it is wonderful that you want to take care of your body, but I say listen to it.

During my younger days, I prefer eating meat than vegetables . As my age is catching up now, I opt for vegetables and cut down on my meat. I have friends that are vegetarians and they are fat too. Exercise and cut down on your calories are the best way to reduce your weight.

Dear friend, I am a vegetarian and being vegi I had experienced lots of positive side than the negative. It has given less stomach problems also I would not like to see animals killed unless it is for self defense. I love my vegetarian life.

I see a lot of misconception in this blog that being vegetarian is malnourished. Sorry. I beg to differ. As a matter of fact, you can enjoy the best of balanced nutrition by adopting a vegetarian food style. Meat is more of fat and other unwanted fatty matter than nutrients. I hope you accept the fact that animals that give you meat get their nutrients from the plant source only. So plants are the rich, first hand source of all kinds of nutrients and so for humans, it is worth being a Vegetarian. With more of nutrients and fibre, and less of fats and oils, vegetarians are not over weight but are rich in health and nutrition. I am proud to be a vegetarian.

no no i'm not a vegetarian, i ike vegetables and fruits but i love meat, i eat every kind of meat and like 2 times per day. I like also fat meat beacause i can't get weight so i eat every kind of food. I can't eat meat i like it too much, sure our body can live also without it, but i'm to greedy and i can't resist it tentations. Some people became vegetarian beacause they can't eat meat, or beacause they think that kill animals for eating is a crime.

I'm omnivorous, yet choose not to eat/drink too much stuff with either gluten or lactose in it. Well, choice.. my 'system' cannot handle them well.. and I feel better taking them in moderation or excluding them altogether.

We really eat much more meat than is recommended by the food pyramid and that is the problem. We all eat more than we need because we really don't realize what really is a portion. I would like to be a vegetarian but it is hard when the family wants meat. There is more to being a healthy vegetarian than just not consuming meat. There has to be a balance between fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts.

I eat very little red meat. I am not yet a vegetarian. But I am closer to it than the rest of my family. I believe it will help in weight loss.

I am not a vegetarian, I tried leaving meat but the taste doesnt allow me to leave it so I continue having it but yes I have reduced the frequency of eating meat.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I stopped eating all types of meat 3 weeks ago just to see if I can do it. Finding meal choices that fill me has gotten harder, but I have lost a few pounds since I stopped eating meat. I will start back eating meat, but in limited quantities.

hi northway, i am from pure vegetarial family, so, i want to be vegetarian, in that also have some nice and healthy foods will be. so, i don't want to change to another, and i don't want to refer that to change one to another. thankyou, have a nice day.

I don't think so. But i'm on fat diet now. I used to eat a lot of vegetable to loss my weight but i still eat a little meal and others. Happy mylotting.

I am a non-vegetarian and I love it lol. I couldn't imagine going back to being a vegetarian after tasting something so delicious. If you want to cut down weight, avoid fatty meats like beef. But don't cut down on poultry and fish. Fish contain Omega 3 Fatty Acids which are really good for you. Exercise will help the weight problem. but don't give in to vegetarianism!

it is always good that contain less fat so in long term you will definatly get your desire resultif you eat veg food

I eat all meat for the sole fact that i belive that different animals were created on this plant in order for us to survive

Eating meat is not the primary way to get fat. Getting fat is from eating foods that make you fat and the worst of them is not meat. You can become fat from veges too. What you do is eat what you like and try to make that nourishing foods which might include meat, and then, above all else, exercise.

For the moment, I am not a vegetarian any more. Yes, I used to be a vegetarian because I was a buddhist. As a result, I lost weight fastly and most of my friends regared me as an unhealthy man. Then I met my girlfriend, and she advises me to ate meat and started back up again. In the past several months, I eventually lost 15 pounds. Some people want to be a vegetarian because they love animals and believe that meat is equal to cancer. But in my opinion, meat is the necessity of my daily life.

Yes, i m a vegetarian for 15 years. I find it good to eat veggies. I find it healthy.

Yes I'm a vegi since 5 year before that I'm a non-vegi but when I feel about animals then I'm become a vegi.

I wouldn't recommend vegetarianism one of my friends is a vegetarian and I think it's because of lack of meats she's always very sick and tired. She also has to go to the doctors regularly to have her weight check to make sure she's not becoming underweight. I couldn't imaging eating pasta and rice all the time like she does but if thats what you wanna do with you life go ahead.
