Intro as requested

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm 00goddess, and I've been a vegetarian for fifteen years. For most of

that time, I was a very strict vegetarian, but about two years ago I started

eating seafood, and I find that it's good for me. I only eat it occasionally,

so I still consider myself vegetarian- vegetarianism is, for me, very much a

lifestyle. Also, telling people that I am vegetarian is much easier than

explaining exactly what foods I do and do not eat. I won't talk about seafood

here, though, out of respect for the group.

 

For many years soy, especially tofu, was a staple of my diet. I even stopped

drinking dairy milk in favor of soy milk a few years ago. However, I have a

chronic illness, and I started to see some evidence that soy itself was making

me sick.

 

So, almost two months ago, I stopped eating soy. I didn't cut it out

altogether, but I have cut way down, and I've switched back to organic dairy

milk. I am feeling way better, and fat is just dropping off of my body, so I

think this was a good decision.

 

I am very interested in avoiding processed food as much as possible. I prefer a

slow-cooked meal to any fast food ever. I am interested in natural foods- for

instance, I am trying to find a local source for unpasteurized cow's milk.

 

My diet right now mostly consists of vegetables, wheat gluten, eggs, dairy, and

occasional seafood. I eat pasta and grains only sparingly, although I do really

like beans. My health condition requires that I eat somewhat high protein, so I

do. The past several months my house has been Omelet Central.

 

I love to cook, and I do so often. I am glad to have found this group and I

look forward to participating here!

Hi 00goddess! Welcome aboard. It's nice to have you with us. I use

to be a pescatarian (veggie who eats " seafood " or " sealife " ) as well

some years ago before switching to a lacto-ovo veggie.

 

Cheers,

S.

thanks for your great intro and welcome to the group!

glad to hear that you feel better after cutting down

on the soy. we've cut back on soy products in our

house too....i have hypothyroidism and i suspect my

son is allergic to soy. we also buy organic (esp.

dairy products)and avoid processed foods whenever

possible. i love to cook, as well.

happy you are here and i am looking forward to your

posts.

Hi! THanks for the warm welcome.

 

I used to be a lacto-ovo, for about ten years. Then I went just ovo-vegetarian-

I thought dairy was making me sick. T

 

I don't use the term pescetarian now, because technically, I eat more than just

fish, and fish aren't even the major part of my diet- they are an occasional

treat. A friend of mine calls me a vegaquarian I find that 'vegetarian', or

sometimes 'pesce-vegetarian', is the best descriptor for other people to

understand the way I eat- for instance, why there isn't meat in my house, or why

I won't eat it at their house, and why I prefer to eat at vegetarian restaurants

or those with vegetarian options.

 

I'm lucky that I live in a city with a lot of vegetarian food options (Houston

TX.) Lots of vegetarians complain about the difficulty in eating out, but I

find it's pretty easy.
