but I always get the "runs" from all the veggies and fruits.
The grains don't help slow it down either.
What to do?
...and don't be cute, I'm working with a loaded colon here!!!

How do you not eat? I mean, how do you keep yourself from eating? What do you say to yourself and stuff like that.

I don't really eat meat...I hate steak and any red meat. I really only eat pork and chicken. And I have been thinking of becoming a vegeterian. I would never go vegan because I could never give up that much. But I really don't like the fact of eating animals...and ever since I dissected sheep lungs and a heart in Science I never really have looked at any meat the same...So I was thinking...maybe I would go vegeterian..Should I?

I have to say that I can understand being vegetarian for ethical reasons such as being against animal slaughter, but I will be honest and say (with respect) that I don't really understand the vegan viewpoint. Milk, eggs, honey, none of these things are products that hurt the animals. I mean, what's wrong with healthy food like yogurt and free range eggs and honey? So why choose a path as tough as veganism? Why are *you* vegan? Would love to have some light shed on this. Interested in hearing answers.

I saw a sticker for PETA that said "Pigs are friends, not food". Apparently these jokers have never been around pigs. My family has raised them for years on our small family farm and they can be vicious animals, especially the boars or sows with piglets. A hog could and would eat a human being alive if they got half a chance.
Although I do not condone treating them inhumanely, I would not go as far to say that "Pigs are friends, not food".

I became a vegetarian last november (for those of you who know, I'm a pesca-ovo-lacto-vegetarian, I eat fish, eggs and milk) but lately I've been very tired. I eat tons of protein - cheese beans, tofu, and TVP (if you don't know what it is, don't worry about it, it's a BETTER source of protein that meat!) but I totally neglected to supplement my iron intake. (duh)

So, I went out to buy iron supplements and I found IRON AID!
Which contains:
150mg vitamin C (250% daily value)
Folic Acid 400 mcg (100% daily value)
Vitamin B12 100 mcg (1,667% daily value) !!!
Iron 25 mg (139% daily value)

Well I'm not on a 2000 calorie diet. My intake is more like 1,200 calories per day. I'm a smaller person (we've been over this with my doctor, I just can't eat that much! And I'm a healthy weight!)

What's this all gonna DO to me? Is ODing on these vitamins going to have annoying side effects?
Go ahead. be graphic. I can take it.
Just don't be rude about my choice to be vegetarian.

I was veg for two years a long time ago, but I've recently been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome as a result of my anxiety disorder and the antidepressants I'm on. Stopping those is not an option, nor will it help my stomach much.

Lactose and I are not friends. I can handle probiotic yoghurts and small amounts of cheese, as well as milk in small amounts IF my stomach has not been acting up and if I take several Lactaid pills.

Soy and I are not friends. At all. I don't know for sure, but I believe I am allergic to it. I get incredible gas and cramps from even the smallest amount of soy milk or tofu.

Other legumes are mostly ok, as are most beans. I still have to watch it, though.

I am interested in cutting back on the amount of meat I eat. Unfortunately because of my condition it seems I have very few options.

Help me please? Is this feasible? Is there a healthy way to do this?

Real food for real people. Good for every body. Incredible edible. The "basic four" food groups. And the question almost every vegetarian is most tired of answering: Where do you get your protein?
Let's face it folks, agribusiness is trying to brainwash us all. And they've succeeded! Most women I know are convinced that the best way to prevent osteoporosis is to consume dairy products, but the well-documented fact is quite the opposite. The excess protein contained in meat and dairy products actually prevents calcium absorption by the body and is a significant risk factor for osteoporosis.

That's right, I said excess protein. Most Americans eat too much protein. Most American vegetarians eat 50% more protein than they need. So protein really is not an issue at all. Even Frances Moore Lappe, who popularized the concept of protein complementarity in 1971, has long since admitted that "getting enough protein" is simply not an issue.

So what are the issues? How about heart disease

Is it healthier to drink just vegetable juices? I find that when I juice corn kernels, that my body actually digest the corn. If I eat corn on the cob, I tend to see pieces of corn before I flush. Which indicates, my body is not digesting it.

Is anyone else here a juicearian?

I have been a vegetarian for some time now, but every now and then I see something (especially chicken wings) that makes me crave meat.
Doo any of you still have that problem? Do you cave?

As a vegetarian I was surprised to find that cheese was made with rennet (cow's stomach). Is there any other way to make real cheese - I mean without a dead animal.

I eat vegan foods as much as I can, but every once in a while I do eat cheese (specially when eating italian or mexican food). Am I still consider a vegetarian? I just feel a bit confused. Thanks all!

A survey in New Zealand identified "vegansexuals."
Definition: No sex with carnivores. Sample quotes from respondents:
1) "I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance. Non-vegetarian bodies smell different to me—they are, after all, literally sustained through carcasses."

2) "I believe we are what we consume so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually."

3) "I couldn't think of kissing lips that allow dead animal pieces to pass between them."

4) "When you are vegan or vegetarian, you are very aware that when people eat a meaty diet, they are kind of a graveyard for animals."

My doctor put me on a no milk or milk products diet because he said I was seriously calcium deficient, and milk doesn't provide the calcium I need. He said I wasn't absorbing it, plus I've heard milk is really bad for you, so is soy milk. What do you guys think? (I was lacto-ovo before he MADE me eat meat)

I went to see my doctor today, and he gave me some pretty bad news. My vegetarian diet is killing me. He said my diet is starving me. I have no calcium left in store, and I'm weakening as I go along. I'm lacking all 12 amino acids, and I'm not doing well at all. My pancreaus, thyroid, and liver are all begining to fail. Well, not fail but weaken. He said that if I didn't stop eating this way, it was going to end badly, so he put me on a new diet. I have to eat meat, but only beef, chicken, and fish, and have to eat lots of fruits, and 2 times more veggies than fruits. I also have to eat minimum 2 eggs a day, and can have no milk or milk products. He's making me drink almond milk, actually. Help me! I have to follow this diet and take bunches of supplements, but he made me eat beef today and it made me sad. What should I do?
