Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Dear bothers, sister's and friends, This is Pawan Kumar Pure vegetarian since brith. Current residence of VA, I just wanted to know what make you all to be vegetarian. I know it is very hard to be vegetarian here in states. At work people cannot believe that i am a vegetarian, some make fun but thats alright. I also teach Yoga Community colleage. Please let me know if you guys need any vegetarian recipes. Best regards, Pawan Kumar Rachelle <saiyukifg wrote: Hello there! My name is Rachelle and I am a new member here. I'm not currently a vegetarian but I am researching into it for my health. I currently have a liver disease that has done all sorts of evil things to my lifestyle. I can't even exercise!!! Doctor's orders have me on a beta blocker, prednisone, an immuno blocker, and a bile blocker. Since my liver is so scarred from " lucky " cirrhosis (I say lucky cause I didn't drink myself this way) my liver can't circulate blood like it should so the blood gets backed up in my esophageal veins and it can cause them to pop, then I need a transfusion and a neat little procedure where they put rubber bands around the veins in my throat. Whee. That was fun. So. Since I can't exercise, I have to diet. Dieting sucks. But from my research I've seen that meat has more for my body to process than vegetables and other non animal foods. It also limits my intake of fat and extra protein on a daily basis, right? I've also noticed I am more susceptible to food poisoning from meats than I was before now that I am on my medication. My doctor wants me to loose weight, but not to exercise. I want to eat healthier and lose weight AND exercise. But I can't have it all. So I am hoping that the switch to vegetarian helps me. Is that selfish? Chat on a cool, new interface. No download required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi there and welcome to our group! I know it's not very easy to be veggie in the USA - it's pretty tough in Canada too and if anyone happens to be vegan (as my husband and I are) well that's just too hard for everyone! LOL We manage, though - getting the restaurants around here trained (Well, a couple of them!) Hope you enjoy the group - and yes, please, we'd love you to send in your recipes to us! I'll look forward to seeing them!
