As all can probably remember, I was formerly a vegetarian.
I lost a lot of weight in a small amount of time, from 16 stone in March, I am now 11 stone, lost it all whilst being vegetarian.
A friend of mine said “I was looking ill in the face”. Deep eye-sockets, pale face.
After eating meat for a couple of months, I’m feeling healthy, and the same friend says I’m looking a lot better and “have a glow to my face now”.
What is it exactly about meat that humans seem to need?
are you back to 16 stone or have you settled at a good weight and staying there? Did you miss “meat”?
I’m still 11 stone. I think my metabolism has sped up, plus I’m more active now.
And yes, I did miss meat. :lol:
I was walking past the village sandwich shop one day and the smell of the bacon was just too much. I HAD to have a bacon sandwich! :lol:
so do you think it was going veggie that helped you lose the weight or did you change lifestyle as well (exercise, more sleep, drink water etc)
Interested cos Ive put on a stone or two over the last year n looking to lose a little bit back to my ideal weight- any personal experiences (on losing weight!!) would be welcome
Being veggie, obviously, a lot less fat intake etc – No fry ups.
You can hardly be fat when you’re not eating bacon soaked in lard innit.
Plus alcohol, I was drinking much less during the summer cos I dehydrate easy so when it’s hot I avoid alcohol – There’s about the same amount of calories in one pint as there is in a full Christmas dinner.
Was drinking on average 4-6 pints per day, that’s the same calories as 6 Christmas dinners everyday innit.
I’ve been pigging out loads lately on meaty stuff, and haven’t gained a lb.
As for lifestyle, bit of stress due to personal reasons, which can cause either weight loss or gain, in my case it could have helped with loss – So the stress was good in the long run.
But, ultimately, it was the vegetarianism I think. Ate nothing but quorn stuff, it’s all less than 5% fat etc etc
Anyone who may be sceptical about the strength, endurance and general health of people choosing a vegetarian diet might consider these vegetarian athletes.
Now we all know what Tommy Toxic looks like.
Better than you!
Have a nice day! :)
Owen, how the hell are ya?!
Hi
Most vegetarians I know are overweight. I put it down to the fact they are always hungry and therefore I always see them snacking on crisps, chocolate etc etc etc.
The human body was designed to be omnivorous – to cut meat out of your diet you need to be very careful that you are still getting all the nutrients your body needs (which can be done, it just takes a lot more planning in your diet).
u look better now than ye did b4 thomas. :wink:
