Maybe now I can drop this 30 pound tire around my waist.
my husband is a lacto-vegetarian --- eats dairy, but not eggs. he's really supportive, though, and doesn't eat any dairy at home (mostly b/c i won't buy it!). we have a 6-month old daughter that we're raising vegan as well. while our family and friends don't say anthing antagonistic about our eating choices, they don't really support it, especially since we're raising our kids that way ("don't you understand that kids need meat to be healthy??" *sigh*).
Ok..I don't understand the weight loss part of the whole thing. If I ate a lot of pastas etc. I would tend to gain. A woman I used to work with was a vegetarian and she was thin, but very unhealthy..just drank coffee and ate junk food. I don't eat much meat now..just fish and chicken but I would like to stop eating them too. I put on weight easily and would like someone to tell me what a typical day's worth of eating would include just to give me an idea.VWBuGgIn4JeSuS said:I'm transitioning over to being vegetarian.
A lot of people eat more fruit, vegies and legumes when they transition to veg... which are generally higher in nutrition and lower in fat and cholesterol. So a lot of people lose weight when they turn veg.trek4 said:
