Any Vegetarian's out here?

I think in the sporting fever shiloh357 put a recipe in there for cauliflower chips...I will go check it out and post a link for you here. 

I did make them and they do taste good but I like the cauliflower raw better.

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

Why would your church do that?

I agree it sounds a healthy life style but no dairy chicken or fish?

You will have to supplement your diet with a lot of beans- nuts- Vit. B12 -and some sorce of protien to stay healthy.

Just wondering why you became a veggie I Know my wife became on because of her eatting disorder.

Well thanks Doc's for the lesson. But after all of the seminars I've been to, I've come to the conclusion that the human body was not made to consume flesh at all. I've heard a lot of stuff about the anatomy of a carnivore and that of a herbivore. It's pretty interesting.(did you know that carnivores have really short intestines so that meat passes through it's body quickly.....humans have 30 something feet ) Sure it was permitted after the flood, but I think that there are more benefits in not eating meat than eating it. I'm still susceptible to all types of diseases, but I cut my risks substantially. I'm not a vegetarian because I wanted to lose weight, I'm already slim. It's more because the fact that I want to avoid a lot of the aches and pains and other things that I see a lot of the elderly and non elderly go through that I choose to take on this life style. Like Mike said,

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

That's where the temperance comes in. A lot of people live to eat.........and boy do i know because that was me a little while ago. But I learned that doing that was no better than someone who had too much to drink. So I ask God for strength each day to control my appetite. It's hard but I get through the days. And regular eating schedule helps a lot too (along with not eating anything after 7pm). All in all I feel better since I've been at it but I do have those days when the smell of "da bird" catches me......mmmmmmmmm. I just pray and move on. But

Hey angel, If you haven't noticed before, I'm not your typical Christian. (I'm an SDA) We believe that christ wants us to care for our bodies as much as we do our spirit so it's an important teaching in our church. Many adventist who aren't vegetarians eat meat with the acception to Pork, shellfish and other "unclean" animals mentioned in the book of Leviticus. It's pretty cool though. Studies have shown that vegetarians live an average of about 7 years more than regular meat eaters....I found that interesting and motivating.

I am not a vegitarian, but I do respect what you hope to achieve in becoming one. My diet lately has been a roller coaster. I soon will be moving into an apartment of my own (without roommate) and will resume my new lifestyle.

I still eat meat though I am trying to stick to fish and poultry. I love my steamed vegitables and even a couple hard boiled eggs once a week. I try to avoid fried foods (except french fries) as often as possible. I have found that I can now smell the grease in the food and can't bring myself to eat it. Many of my meals now consist of grilled meats and steamed vegies. My biggest vice right now are baked foods....I.E. Cake...cookies and the like.

Once I resume my (optimistic) diet I will again be eating alot of popcorn and drinking alot of water. One tip! Try drinking a full glass/cup of water before each meal. It leaves less room to put food and will promote faster digestion and better absorbtion. It worked when I was in the military.

Thanks for the advice O'Dannyboy

Although I've been told if I'm gonna drink something do it a half hour before I eat or at least an hour after I eat since water(liquids) dilute the acid in your stomach during digestion. That's another tough thing that I've kinda mastered. I've been able to eat without drinking and I think my stomach likes me better for it.

Anyway, Still waiting for the recipes........although french fries(or are they freedom fries ) sound really good right now.

Yes I do:

You can buy the spagetti squash at the super market ( that is the title of it ), cut it in half and boil it until soft. Scoop out the middle with a fok. It come out spagetti stringy (hense the name). For the sauce I just use melted butter, cream, sugar, eggs and parm cheese and melt all together. Add brocolli and BAM!!! It is very easy to make.
