1ST OFF flamey........you just shown your ignorance of what you know about being a vegetarian. I WAS A LACTO OVO VEGETARIAN for 19 years. i had no LETHARGY and i was never SKINNY, pale or gaunt. all the "veggies" i associated with in that time, were runners, cyclists, martial arts or swimmers. lots of LETHARGY there huh? and i always pointed out to those who think like flamey.........remember this, the biggest strongest jungle animal closely related to our physiology, IS A VEGAN..... the silverback gorilla!!!!!!!!! they are weak and lethargic hahahahahahaha.
i love all the experts on protein intake. you all need to redo your information. if i was PROTEIN DEFICIENT for 19 years of eating veggies, eggs, milk & cheese i guess i didnt know it and neither did my bloodwork or my body. i also became a vegetarian AFTER HAVING MY 1ST HEART ATTACK at 42. i attribute this life style change to fact i got 21 years of NO MEDICAL INTERVENTION(pills or doctors).
the best way to start this would be a LACTO-OVO VEGETARIAN. try this for 30-60 days. IF you dont see good changes and feel better .........then stop it. no harm no foul.
i am no longer a vegetarian. this is because of the way my body handles high carb content at 67. 3 cardiologists had me change because of this is how they said it:
85% of the cholesterol created in the body, comes from CARBOHYDRATES!!!!! as some bodies age this is detrimental. i now eat mostly chicken fish and STILL DO A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT of COMPLEX CARBS, staying totally away from SIMPLE CARBS. blood work last week, my bad cholesterol is still a little high, my good is a little low but overall number is on the high side of normal.
most here know the medical stuff i have been thru and i believe that the changes i made at 42, is why i came thru open heart surgery, 2 by-passes, and had no heart muscle loss. 3 months later i dropped dead, in a coma for 6 days, and as of march this year, MY HEART STILL HAS SUFFERED NO PERMANENT DAMAGE!!!!
