Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi everybody. Sorry for the few typos in my previous post. The funny one (more of a Freudian slip rather than a typo)was " looking forward to *meating* you all " !! Maybe I should have said " to vegetabling you all " ? Greetings from Buenos Aires, Agustina , " Agustina Colombo Eiff " <antigonabaires wrote: > > Hi everybody. > > My name is Agustina and I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've been following the program since November. I'm on step 3 right now. I could see some amazing changes after only a few weeks and although I have my ups and downs things are only getting better and better. > I live with my husband and two daughters, ages 6 and 1. The elder is following the program with great enthusiasm, too. After being vegetarians for some years we went onto a vegan macrobiotic diet for about 5 years. Later on and for different reasons we started adding eggs but no diary, and some time after that we added some cheese (mostly ricotta and cottage cheese). This was some 3 or 4 years ago. I ate meat a few times during my last pregnancy just because I craved for it. > > Being a vegetarian was part of a search - although I was never sure what I was searching for. Now I realize I was trying to bring some order into my eating and fill a gap in my life. Having someone (in this case, vegetarianism) telling me what to eat and what not to eat made my feel more confident and less anxious. > However, sugar always seaked in. Somehow. I knew somehing was wrong and it had to do with the sugar in my life. I foud this amazing program by just typing " sugar addiction " into a search engine. > > So, I started eating meat in order to be able to fit 20-22g of protein into every meal. Sometimes I eat tofu (not much because I'm afraid it might interfere with my thyroid medication) or lentils or beans. Sometimes it's eggs. Meat has become a large part of my diet (at least compared to my " previous life " !) and although I have to admit I'm feeling great, I'd like to start cutting down. I would love to share vegetarian recipes and learn more about getting enough protein without eating animals. > > I look forward to meating y'all! > Greetings from Buenos Aires, > > Agustina > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
