Due to recent things that I've been researching, I have decided that I'm weeding animal products out of my diet. I would like to correspond with anyone here who eats a vegetarian diet, please.
-
I'm a lazy vegetarian, not 100%.
I do eat fish, eggs, and dairy.
Am GENERALLY not eating red meat or poultry.
Simplest thing is just to substitute beans and/or tofu for meat.
And triple your green and bright-colored vegetables. Eat brown rice
every day. Oatmeal in the a.m. Whole grains...try quinoa, great hot or cold.
I'm a pathetic cook. Hope somebody else is helpful.
Great decision RM!!!!!!!!!
hugs

Thanks Hoppy...anyone else?
I have discovered recently that my thyroid is a big mess. I've been on Synthroid and found out too, that Synthroid is a HUGE CULPRIT in link to excess weight gain and worse thyroid problems.
I am going to be seeing a specialist very soon who will do an overall eval on my body and hook me up with some hormone supplementation.
My weight has increased from 180- 190 in a VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME and I am very concerned, not just about weight but about other issues such as Diabetes, Hashimotos, Cancer, etc.
Your prayers are greatly appreciated, as I enter on this path to finding some answers about my somatic self :)

Dear Laura,
My best resource is the one and only Dr Schutz. His book,"There are No incurable Diseases " will help you(IMO).
I follow his program(loosely) Love Ami
-
Armour is the best.
-
What do you mean,Leah?
-
Armour is the best for thyroid as opposed to synthroid or any other. Leah
-
yes I know Armour is the best, but I can't seem to get anyone to prescribe it for me
-
Dear Joy,
That is what I am.(about 80% raw) I have eggs and cheese,too. Ami
-
Armour is the best.
I couldn't agree more.
Especially their big juicy hot dogs, smoked sausages, sweet Christmas hams and polska keilbasas.
Enjoy the bean curd guys. (insert barfing emoticon here)

::picking porkroast out of teeth::
Sorry ReallyME.... no vegans in this house, lol.
But I do like a good veggie burger, and lentils are one of my favorite things.
With rice and a very tart lemony red wine NATURE'S SEASONS Spiced small diced tomato, parsley, cucumber and radish salad.....
and pork chops, lol; )

BTW, is a lacto-ovo some mutant chicken that gives milk?
At first I thought it was some weird female thing; like simultaneously lactating and ovulating but that didn't seem to fit the context. :?

Laura: I am on Synthroid and you know my weight gain fiasco. I also am on hormones. Had the lap band surgery and now I think I am lactose intolerant. My intestines are going crazy. Looks like I need to look at some of what you are looking towards too....
-
Ahhhh, mud.
Lacto ovo.... mutant chicken..... some weird female thing?
Food, ovulation and lactation...
all mixed together.....
not so much :shock:
::shudder::
That would be one messed up table of adult victuals.....

I just recently started substituting soy or rice milk for regular milk. It's more expensive, but I don't really like milk all that much. I like the rice milk better than the soy, but the soy is all right.

One of the websites was www.thyroid.about.com (http://www.thyroid.about.com)
The lady I will be seeing hopefully soon, that is going to help me figure out something to aid my hormones, is from a group called Bodylogics.

The situation of my deciding to become a lacto-ovo veg. had to do with info from a website that is pro animal-rights. The site is called Mercyforanimals.org (http://Mercyforanimals.org). I also belong to PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals).
I am horrified that, though we sit here talking about abusers, so many innocent animals go through torture and death as well. I realize my stand is controversial, but I love creation, and that includes furry, feathery and leathery beasts.

That's my motivation too, Laura.
