Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 hi, moki-- as other people have mentioned, it's really a matter of making sure you have a nutritionally balanced vegetarian diet-- most people don't do that, and then think they can't be healthy without meat. make sure your diet is: -40-50% complex carbs (brown rice, whole grains, fruits, and especially vegetables!!) -30-40% lean proteins (soy products, seitan, many grains, legumes/beans, nuts/seeds; add dairy and eggs to this if you are lacto/ovo) -20% healthy fats (olive oil, flaxseed oil, grapeseed oil, nuts, avocadoes) also make sure your diet has enough calories to sustain your everyday activity ((your weight in lbs x 11) x (your activity level) + (your weight x 11), where activity level is: -20% if you do no activity -30% if you are on your feet a lot and take walks and such, but don't ever really break a sweat -40% if you exercise vigorously at least 3 hours a week -50% if you have an olympic-style training regimen hope this helps! melody http://www.flawlessfitness.com http://www.melodysmusic.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
