Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks Cassie Yep eating Vegetarian (well mainly! apart from the one meal a fortnight when as per docs instructions I eat ick), eating low fat (nothing over 5%) and tracking my food to make sure I eat enough is doing the trick - so a new lifestyle is well and truly kicked in :-) The Dragon (aka High Priestess Enchanting Even weave) Current stitching - RSPCA Perfect Pets, Map of Durham, Cat Ornaments, Green Man http://tempewytch.blogspot.com/ - stitching/house http://tempewytchdiet.blogspot.com/ - diet/angst --- On Mon, 9/2/09, Cassie Dixon <roxy87cabriolet wrote: Cassie Dixon <roxy87cabriolet Re: Thank whatever you hold holy for www.Caloriecount.about.com!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 What and why does the doc require you to eat nonvegetarian?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hi Peggy Because I cannot eat nuts (fatally allergic) and this does tend to cut out a load of seeds as well (go down the same packing line) my doctor (who is Veggie and advocates a strongly veggie diet) wants me to eat m**t or f**h once a fortnight to keep me healthy (rest of the time I eat tofu, mushrooms, pulses) The Dragon (aka High Priestess Enchanting Even weave) Current stitching - RSPCA Perfect Pets, Map of Durham, Cat Ornaments, Green Man http://tempewytch.blogspot.com/ - stitching/house http://tempewytchdiet.blogspot.com/ - diet/angst --- On Tue, 10/2/09, Peggy Lewis <lwspeggy344 wrote: Peggy Lewis <lwspeggy344 Re: Thank whatever you hold holy for www.Caloriecount.about.com!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I don't want to diss your veggie doc but it is a nonsense. Admittedly your allergies make getting a balanced nutrition more difficult but certainly not impossiblle. It can't be for the amino acids (protein) nor the essential fats and vitamins. What is it in meat and fish your doc thinks you can't get from a non-animal source?

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Don't worry, Pat, I can fill in the dots - hah. I, too, have reached the age where children I've taught are now practising doctors - of course a few others are unemployed or gangleaders hey ho. I doubt it was my influence but two of my former pupils are vegan doctors, which is encouraging. I agree that it is easy for a healthy fit vegan to be condescending and point fingers at 'almost' veggies but then when a problem occurs it can be a puzzle what to do. Geoff - In , " drpatsant " <drpatsant wrote: > > Yeah, Geoff, I have a lacto-veggie doc who thinks that because of my age (I'm 69 this November) I should be drinking lots of milk. Well duh. I asked why and she said . . . . well, you can recreate THAT conversation with your hands tied behind your back/s! LOL Anyway, when I pointed out a few things it became obvious that she was simply saying what (almost) all docs say, what they were taught in med school (or picked up along the way). So I do what I know I must do, and she is thrilled because she thinks I'm following her advice (I haven't said so, but doesn't everyone? LOL) and that therefore her advice is the reason my health is so great. I admit, she doesn't say I should eat Me*t or F*sh - she knows better.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 How about beans or protein powder? Or dairy products? I'm vegetarian, not vegan, but the idea of meat tends to turn my stomach. I read that after not eating meat for awhile, the body no longer produces the digestive juices necessary to digest meats.
