i have been a fish eating vegetarian for 7 yrs. I ate meat yesterday for the first time since.... (wild elk) . the taste was good, but afterwords i felt SO tired and heavy and it was as if my brain was so slow! really, i am not kidding! Meat makes you slower in everyway. I did feel some stomack ache, because i was not used to it i guess. but the worst was really this feeling of heavyness and tiredness, i did like that feeling, felt like a zombie. So, it is not only the body that benefits from being a vegetarian/vegan....
Yeah, I was amazed when I realised how awful I had been feeling after eating meat. I didnt realise until after I stopped eating it...
fish is meat. They are definitely not plants. Anyways, yes meat makes you feel heavy because it takes a lot of energy for your body to process it.
That was one of the first reasons why I stopped eating meat. When I would come home in the evening and eat a meal containing meat, I would feel too "heavy" and lazy to do anything else, especially the yoga I was starting.
yes I know, fish is meat. I guess i kind of need it once every 2 weeks, just for a while. But i have been experimenting quite a lot with food, fasting, or eating just fruit, or sometimes eating no bread/pasta/wheat (gluten has actually not so good effects in many ways ), and i almost NEVER eat any milk products, which to me are not that good ( i mean health wise, milk and cheese is certainly not good to you) but it is even worse considering the terrible concentration camp style farms... The probleme is: the more i learn about food the more difficult it is to really choose what diet to have. tofu? i used to think that it was good, when i was a strict vegan, but there are quite a lot of sideeffects! people get more and more allergies of it, and believe it or not, tofu is quite a lot grown on areas in brazil where rainforest was once. I absolutely do NOT say that hamburgers are better, no way, eating tofu is really much better, BUT, the thing that tofu has become big business, it is very often genetically modified, and eating too much of it, as many of us do (because it is cheap and trendy and practical) is not so healthy. But there is once thing that i konw for sure: eating less, is the real way to health. It is not easy though, but that is my goal....
So you start threads saying were all disgusting for keeping our rodents in cages (where else we were meant to put them was never really explained) but around the same time you ate some dead elk? Man, thats pretty heavy stuff. Im in no way one to judge usually, people will eat what theyll eat, but when youve been so incredibly judgemental of decent, loving people (a vegan in my case) on welfare issues I cant help finding all this just a tad too rich, know what I mean?
It sounds like you eat meat a lot. the difference is the muscle structure and fat content. Please. a former vegan saying "fish eating vegetarian?"
The word is pescaterian. Eat what you want to eat, but don't make it harder on the rest of us by using incorrect terminology. That's why when I go into a restaurant and ask if they have any vegetarian options, I hear, "Oh yes, we have several fish dishes!" I've known several people who called themselves vegetarian and ate chicken broth and beef broth because "juice isn't meat." And even one who ate fish and poultry, just not pork or beef, and proudly declared herself a vegetarian. I don't care what someone chooses to eat, but when they use improper terminology, it muddies the definition and confuses people.
I used to eat a lot of fish. Now I want to barf when I see it or smell it Hehe and thanx, yeahtheyre our baby mice a week old today
