| For what it's worth I've decided to try a vegetarian lifestyle this
year. That's the only type dieting that I plan to do for about 6
months to see what effect it has on my weight.
So far so good. I expect to drop at least 10 pounds or more in January
just from eliminating meat and the fat that comes with it.
Of course it helps that I love salads.

Mike,
What do you eat to get Protein in your diet ? Are you trying Veggies
Recipes ? There are some cooks on TV that just use Veggies.
I never knew you could create such good recipes using Veggies.

| 841.5 | Protein....get it wherever you can | WREATH::SCOPA | | Tue Mar 15 1994 19:28 | 29 |
| Wow I haven't been in here for awhile.
Ann, to answer your question I am going heavy on the salads and I throw
in cheese (low-fat) for protein. I have a friend who is a nutritionist
and she is all excited I've gone the veggie route but she said that I
should include fish in my diet.
I am currently experimenting with many different types of recipes for
meatless sauces and you'd be surprised how many low-fat, tasty recipes
there are out there. When I have a chance I'll put one in here that
uses eggplant and mushrooms as a base for the sauce.
I've gone meatless now for about 75 days and I recall only one or two
days in which I craved meat. On one of those days I happened to be near
a restaurant that oozed the aroma of char-broiled meat.
The best test was making a meat dish for the rest of the family and not
touching it myself. When I got past that obstacle I figured it would be
easy sailing.
With Easter coming up one would expect another tough obstacle...we'll
see.
I have a question for others who have gone meatless but have consumed
meat after a prolonged (6 months or more) period of vegetarian living.
Does the body react to the reintroduction of meat? That is, is there a
breaking in period? Just curious.

| 841.6 | definitely - adding back meat is tough | GOLLY::CARROLL | the courage of my contradictions | Tue Mar 15 1994 21:42 | 7 |
| Oh yeah...I used to go a few months without eating red meat frequently,
and the first time (or two) that I ate red meat again it caused a very
nasty case of indigestion, gas and diarrhea. No fun. I've heard that
life-long vegetarians can almost totally lose the ability to digest
meat. Definitely I would think a break-in period would be necessary.
D!

| 841.7 | vegetarians do develop a problem digesting meat! | NECSC::HATCH | | Mon Mar 21 1994 18:30 | 15 |
| Hi Mike and D!
Believe what you have heard about vegetarians!
My sister eats very little meat, and then it is only chicken or
turkey. For years she didn't eat either and when she started again she
had severe stomach cramps, etc. She doesn't eat any "red" meat at all!
The sight and smell of it makes her queasy. She eats mainly fish and
cheese along with pasta to supplement the vegetables and fruit.
Her cholesterol is extremely low and her blood pressure is too so the
dieticians are right on target with their constant pushing for people
to lower their consumption of red meat.
