Seems when i started to became a vegen i lost 10kgs! Now i weight 87kgs! But the point is, i can not lose weight easy now! So this is my tips, even your vegen or vegentarian you will still need to do more exercise! At last, i do not think vegen or vegentarian are weak, it depends on your life style! I don't eat eggs, fish, because in the bible books said: "But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall you not eat." for my understanding is that even fish are also a life with the blood, can you see fish has blood as well, if they don't have.. well they're not living creatures anymore. some of you christian gave yourselves a excuse for that for that you think you will die because of not having animal's protein!

Yes do YOU know what the five food groups are?

1. Protein - meat, fish, eggs, BEANS, NUTS

2. Veg and fruit

3. Dairy

4. Grains

5. Fats and oils

Please point out how a vegetarian misses out on any of the above groups. A vegan would miss out on #3 but there are calcium fortified substitutes available now.

Vegetarians do eat protein - protein comes in many forms, meat is not the only source of it. Assuming that vegetarians are weak IS stereotyping, and simply shows that you're ill-informed - there are many successful vegetarian athletes, for example.

Protein can be gotten from dairy and/or eggs (for lacto/ovo vegetarians), and soy, nuts, and legumes. You don't need to eat animal carcasses to be strong.

P.S.: To address your additional comment: Yes, I've heard of the five food groups. None of them is called "Meat". It's called "Meats and other Protein Sources". Look it up. http://www.winforum.org/food-groups.html

Vegetarians aren't weak. We just get our protein from other sources. In fact vegetarians tend to live longer than meat-eaters. And you are being stereotypical when you say vegetarians are weak.
P.S- Work on your grammar.

When people come up to me and tell me how built I look they sure don't make any comments about vegetarians being weak. =) Labelling vegetarians in general as weak is simply an incorrect assumption and would be the same as saying that all white people have the same skin tone. It's false, plain and simple, so get your facts straight.

i'm no longer a organic vegetarian yet I devour a many times plant-depending eating routine. I devour turkey for more advantageous protein because I do have an anemia difficulty. It does sound as even if you've were given a deficiency yet with no blood try you won't be able to fairly be conscious of for particular even if it really is iron, potassium or something else. So, first enable's manage anemia: it really is a deficiency in pink blood cells, in different words your blood chemistry is out of whack. Do you've your era? Did you in simple terms have a touch one? surgical treatment? you do not could devour meat to strengthen this. If it really is your difficulty, you want more advantageous protein, and the body does no longer be conscious of the enormous difference between protein from meat and protein from different meals. i'm such as a link which will allow you to be conscious of about protein elements. My next wager is potassium - it really is something I struggled with even as i replaced into fairly youthful and my warning signs were a similar as yours. strong elements of potassium are bananas, citrus culmination and vegetables. In a pinch, have potato chips or something salty. to prevent deficiencies, your magnificent guess is to visualise your plate divided into quarters. be particular to have one of those shades of vegetables and culmination. this provides you one of those the supplementations and minerals you want. a million quarter of your plate should be protein a million quarter of your plate should be entire grains 2 quarters of your plate should be vegetables (careful now to not use too many starchy carbs like corn and potatoes) i'm such as a link that has a strong video on the thanks to divide your plate. finally, be particular to drink lots of water daily. strong success, and experience more advantageous powerful!

Saying "vegetarians are weak" isn't the same as saying "black people have dark skin" or "Chinese people are of Chinese descent". It's really more like saying "black people and Chinese people are stupid".
