It takes some work, don't "just do it"

Without at least getting some good facts.

Don't just research on the internet to find out "how to be a healthy vegetarian"

Your sources will be mixed, scattered, sometimes just plain wrong.

Go talk to a real nutritionalist. If you just research online "how to be a vegetarian" and "what a vegetarian eats" and then try to become one it's just not that simple

It takes some professional help, but is very possible.

Beware, you can get very sick by just trying to jump on the veggie train. It takes dedication, knowledge, will-power, training, etc

 

You can PM me if you have any questions

Resisting temptation is one big key. You've got to have good will-power to be a successful vegetarian. Getting enough protein and proper vitamins from fresh vegetables / pastas / salads / rices / power bars / etc etc etc

 

lol.. thats what I thought too.

 

i think if u read alot of diff info you can make your own good choices, even nutritionists can have bias opinions. PS i read 1 brasil nut a day if enough selinium and wont people to know cause seems important its bad to overdose

 

I suspect the poster is a nutritionist trying to drum up business. Many nutritionists are poorly trained when it comes to vegetarianism. They still believe that protein deficiency is a serious risk, and that osteoporosis is caused by not drinking enough milk.

 

Kinda hard to be veg here in Georgia, unless you're Indian living in Gwinnett...

Most here believe in the whole

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer."

 

i been veg for a couple months and i have squash, tomatoes, and cucumbers growing in my yard :thumbsup:

 

It never ceases to amaze me how complicated people can make the issue of stopping meat consumption.

What you do is this: You stop eating meat.

Yes, you eat other things instead. Yes, they should be healthy things like beans, grains and vegetables. Yes, this is basic common sense. The whole vegetarian movement needs to chill the fuck out. No wonder people are put off and think we're a bunch of snooty, stuck-up, petty crazies.

 

there is no such thing as a healthy vegetarian

only a coping one.

 

This is the kind of view over-complicating vegetarianism perpetuates.

 

i'd say it was the most simple

people who stave themselves of necessary things like protein are stupid

ironically, since protein is pretty fundamental to dna synthesis and correct brain function

i'd say we have a bit of a chicken and the egg scenario :mickey:


*EDIT* this is sarcasm. anyone who cannot blatantly comprehend it i actually think you need your head checked after all. i've added a st00pid face for your viewing pleasure
you know, 'cos sometimes we only need look at the pictures.

 

y u no like my post???

it doeznt harm animals!???

 

People who think proteins are only found in meat are very stupid indeed, as are people who can barely form sentences.

 

but the fuckin' chicken joke wouldn't have worked then would it???

as for my sentences.. teh r0x0r

 

boing flip

 

I must say, that since becoming a vegetarian I have gone through periods of feeling run down and tired.

However, if I make sure to get enough protein and iron, I feel better than I ever did when I ate meat.
