Hi, my name is Elisa and I just d to the list. I'll be 25 in September

and dd Sarah will turn 2 years old in 2 weeks. We live in Switzerland (dh is

Swiss). I followed a vegetarian regimen in the past, a few years back, when I

lived in the US, under my doctor's suggestion, as I didn't seem to do well on

meat and some other animal products. Later on I started eating everything again,

and recently I have re-discovered the pleasure of a vegetarian diet. I am not

quite vegan, as I occasionally eat a piece of cheese or some fish, but aside

from that I am off all animal products and I love it! My body feels like the

aging process stopped and it's actually reversing, I have more energy, I sleep

better and I am happier because I know I am eating healthy. I also don't eat

white flour products for the most part and follow some food-combining rules,

like fruit only alone and fresh, and no proteins and carbs together, though with

vegetable proteins you can mix pretty much anything. I am also trying to have at

least 50% of my food raw, like fresh raw veggies and fruits, as I have

experimented the wonderful effects of raw food on my body, though I am not up to

following a raw food diet yet.

 

My daughter Sarah is in-between, dh is a meat eater and mixes everything, he

also eats white bread (outside the house, since I don't buy it), candy, drinks

pop and so on. I would not say he eats unhealthy in general, but he could do

better. He eats dinner with us everyday but Wednesdays and Thursdays, so Sarah

for the most part eats what I eat, that is - vegetarian. But the rest of the

time... she gets a taste of this and a bit of that... any of you have a " mixed

family " , like us?

 

 

Hugs,

that being normal isn't necessarily a virtue.

It rather denotes a lack of courage! "
