Any Vegetarian's out here?

[Remnantrob]

I just became a vegetarian about 3 months ago and it's a struggle sometimes but I know that in the future it will be worth it. I wanted to know if there were any veggie's on this forum and if so could you supply me with some recipes 'cause I'm starved

[Guest Zayit]

I have plenty of recipes, as long as you are a dairy Veggan? Tell me what made you make this choice of dietary change?

[Remnantrob]

Well my church encourages it(but most of us don't follow it all of the way). It's called NEW START

1) Nutrition: The vegetarian diet is the best way to lose weight and keep it off, improves health, decreases disease, promotes longer life, and is more economical.

2) Exercise: Very important for physical and mental health. Exercise lowers the heart rate and blood pressure, controls appetite, burns up unwanted fat, increases circulation and oxygen intake, improves muscle tone.

3) Water: Your blood is about 90% water and it carries nutrients to and from cells. The kidneys must have adequate water to filter out waste products. Many times common constipation, headaches, and backaches can be relieved simply by drinking sufficient water, which is 6 to 8 eight-ounce glasses per day.

4) Sunshine: One of the most healing agents of Nature. Sunshine forms vitamin D in the skin, destroys bacteria and viruses, increases available white blood cells, lowers blood pressure, and lowers cholesterol and fat levels in the blood.

5) Temperance: Temperance (self-control) is having a totally healthy and balanced life- style in every way. It includes the proper ratio of work and relaxation, time for God, right eating and right thinking.

6) Air: We are greatly benefited by negative ions which occur in fresh outdoor air. Breath deeply of fresh air to increase quantities of oxygen.

7) Rest: Every cell in the body expends energy. Rest helps us re-supply these cells with the energy they need. Rest can be quiet physical relaxation or vigorous exercise after mental work.

8) Trust in God: God has given us the power of self- government, which is the freedom and ability to make decisions. We are unable to change our hearts, but we can choose to trust and obey God, and He promises to work in us to give us the desire and power to live in harmony with Him. By choosing to trust and obey God, a total change will be made in our lives. We then will receive His power and strength, and we will live a life of victory!

I'm working my way off the milk and eggs EVENTUALLY, but for now its what's keeping me sane....

I'd be more than happy to read and borrow your recipes.Thanks a lot.

Give me a BIG CheeseBurger!!!!!!!

[Remnantrob]

I'd love a cheeseburger right now also .........but I gotta stick to my guns. I've had days where I was ready to just jump back on the train and just eat the things that I liked. But then later on in that day I'd get over it. I can still taste those burgers and fried chicken and steaks and turkey sanwiches and.................AHHHHH!!!!!!

I'm back. Give me a ceasar salad with a side of croutons. And an apple for good measure.

Once again....It's a personal thing for me so no one has to worry about me beating them over the head with what's right and what's not. Umm.....my mouth is watering Zayit, get back to me today so I can experiment when i get home

There is no guarentee you will loose weight being on a total veggie diet.

it might help, but the real deal, is discipline.... instead of eating the douple quarter pounder, eat a regular burger...

we have dropped all beef, and only consuming pork and chicken....

as far as health benefits, the best would be something no on has seen for quite some time...... MANNA.....

How about a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a burger at all?

I totally agree that discipline is the answer. Remember, if you eat more calories than your burn on a daily basis you will gain weight. It is simple mathematics.

Lean beef (top sirloin, round steak, filet mignon) can be eaten on occasion (once every week or two).

I would avoid pork at all costs. Pork is rough on the system.

Anybody interested in a great seminar by a Christian doctor on health and nutrition send me a PM. I'll send it to you free on MP3.
