    I don't know about "hippy" designations by what one eats, (aside from "crunchy granola") but I guess I am also a Wholefood Omni. I was a ovo-lacto veg for years. Developed (or realized) both an eggwhite and a dairy allergy. But, I started eating meat, in small quanitities when I got pregnant the first time. I am a "grainatarian." I love grains and carbs. Lots of veggies ect. I like fruit, but my colon won't tolerate too much of it. I could eat grapes, and apples and strawberries all the time, but my body won't process them properly, so, like EVERYTHING I eat, I have to eat this in moderation.

    I was ovo lacto until the Italian cook moved in. Now I pretty much eat anything he whips up with the exception of bottom feeders (highly allergic to seafood and shellfish).
    These days I am on portion control; food is measured, weighed or in some way counted. It's an old Weight Watchers program that involves the use of a food scale, measuring cup and spoons. :)

    i don't know what you would call me . I like chicken ... but i don't want to be a vegitarian but beef doesn't digest well. And i just found out i'm allergic to a pg long along with peanuts and strawberries tomatoes and potatoes and lotsa others. So i have to figure out a way to go about "healthy eating" hopefully i can get a grip of healthy choices some day

    I am a strict carnivore. I mostly eat eggs and ground beef, with the occasional salmon and duck.

    I knew you could be allergic to tomatoes and potatoes! I kept telling people that I thought I was allergic to these two things and kept getting laughed at. Thanks... for being alergic? :) J/K Thanks for putting that in there so I can go yell at my dr to give me an allergy test. They never listen.

    On the "what do I eat" note I just crossed over into the vegetarian world. I guess I'd be a lacto-ovo-vegetarian, but only b/c I don't always look into all of the ingredients. I will become a vegan as soon as I get comfortable with the whole vegetarian thing b/c I am a bit lactose intolerant and also have bad reactions to eggs. All in all, I probably should just be a vegan right now and get an allergy test asap.

    I am an oppurtunitarian. I eat whatever I want whenever I want. Sometimes I go weeks without meat and then I'll have a steak. I mostly stick to raw fruits and veggies with beans and other grains. But I do Like cheesecake. I try to eat very well, but I don't deny myself.

    Latley I have been eating very healthy but around 3k calories a day...i am always hungry. I think it's from exercise as I am losing weight; not gaining it-but I am unsure. I'm going to the doctor next week because my periods have been like almost non-existent and I think I have amorhenia (sp?) again...I always get it when I run ): but this time it's more concerning because I also have anemia and I don't have an eating disorder so I am not understanding why I have both of these things.

    I'm anorexic. Have been for a few years now and its off-on with me eating and not eating. When I do eat it HAS to be fat free or I'll have a nervous breakdown/panic attack, literally. I'm not mentally stable at all and the thought of eating fat just...scares the shit out of me. I'll never be skinny enough. I'm a hypochondriac so half the time I'm imagining I'm sick which helps with the weight loss but it sucks, feeling sick alot. I don't eat meat...since it contains fat. I don't like meat anyhow. I guess I'd call it anorexic/vegan...but I'll eat fat free dairy...dont know what that would be called. I just wish I could get help with this shit.

    I was a lacto-ovo for about a year and a half, but went off it a year ago when I moved in with my boyfriend (extreme carnivore). Now considering going back onto it. As of right now, I eat small amounts of meat a couple of times a week, totaling to between 5-8 ounces a week. I eat a lot of fruit and whole grains, some vegetables, and snack on nuts and pumpkin seeds and more fruit. Worst part of my diet is when I'm at home (I pack all my food for work and have a good breakfast), when I tend to eat a lot of junk (white bread, pizza, etc).

    We are a veggie household - lacto-ovo. My youngest son has lacto-ovo allergies so he is totally veggie, so the food prep tends to be geared to his diet. Most of the food we eat is organic and we also try to source food as locally as possible so it has less carbon miles attached. We also buy fair trade wherever possible.

    I'd probably be lacto-ovo veg if I didn't live with other people...basically I eat what they cook. When I do cook it's vegetarian most of the time...when I move out next month I imagine I'll pretty much live on fruits and veggies and grains.

    I'll grab a chicken sangwich from wendy's or somewhere now and again ...mmm, I feel bad afterwards though. Knowing that chickens are the most mistreated food.
