How have being a <span title="vegetarian/vegan/pescatarian">vegetarian/vegan/pescatar...</span> affected you life?

Question

Either good or bad, I am interested!

Answer 1

I&#039;m a mostly vegetarian. The only flesh that I eat is crab, because I feel that they don&#039;t suffer too much during death and that when they are fished it isn&#039;t affecting the ocean as much as other fish. I agree that pescatarians count, everyone has a right to their own choices and views.

I have had no trouble. I am an extremely active person, and still get enough overall nutrition and am very healthy. I take a multivitamin everyday and eat a well-balanced diet. I have never had any health issues and people actually tell me that my attiduted/out-look on life had improved a lot since I&#039;ve become a vegetarian.

Overall, I feel that it is a very rewarding lifestyle, and it works really well for me.

Answer 4

I am a pescatarian, once a vegetarian.

I was a vegetarian for a short period of time, but to be honest, I am just lazy in my ways of staying healthy and being short on money doesn&#039;t help. I wouldn&#039;t be healthy if I was eating meat either, cause it&#039;d be fast food. But anyhoo, I felt great for a while but I had to live on cheap food which meant I only ate out of a box (Pasta Roni) and it caused my healthy to deplete. I passed out a few times (not because I was a vegetarian, but because I was an unhealthy one) so my doctor recommended eating just fish and beans. I have ever since but I limit my intake to salmon only because I don&#039;t want to eat animals at all. Overall, this is the absolute best I&#039;ve felt in my entire life. I never feel yucky after eating nor do I get tired. I am proud to be what I am and glad to make a difference.

The biggest thing I&#039;ve noticed is that I&#039;m not nearly interested in sweets and processed items, nor do I care much for salt. I think after you train your taste buds to be more healthy, they kind of stay that way. I almost never use any salt, and when I do it&#039;s a sprinkle. I hardly ever eat candy/cake/cookies or chips. I get cravings for more natural food items and love the taste of veggies on everything. Over the last 6 years, I have become more creative with my menu and thanks to BOCA and like products, there&#039;s some really great tasting things such as Morning star breakfast foods. Yummers. I just hope they come out with fake fish soon so I can go back to being vegetarian. These are the things I look forward to nowdays. Meat, blah.

Answer 5

I was never a big fan of meat as a little kid. I eventually decided that an animal doesn&#039;t have to die for me to be fed. I am also much healthier. I have a lot more energy than I used too. And emotionally I feel great too, just knowing that something doesn&#039;t have to die for me to eat means a lot on the inside.

Answer 6

Wow.. I have been vegan for three years now and I&#039;ll be the first one to say... I feel great. Ever since the change I feel like I have had more energy and my overall total health has been fantastic. This has shown  through also in the doctors office when I go for exams.

Answer 7

Hi, ive been vegetarian, for 12yrs now  and it hasnt affected me, well not much apart from my iron intake which does go up and down from time to time. i do have a healthy balanced diet just without fish and meat, i do eat cheese and eggs has im not  vegan, and to be honest my hubby thinks some vegi stuff are better then the real thing and are alot healthier for you too... x

Answer 8

First of all..pescetarian has nothing to do with being a vegetarian.  No relation at all since no vegetarian eats fish.

&#039;Vegetarians that eat chicken?  No such thing.   Don&#039;t take what I said personally..I just wanted to clarify that eating fish is not related to a vegetarianism.  I did not attack &quot;you&quot;..your question did not say anything about your particular diet nor did you say anything that sounded like you wanted welcoming to your pescetarian lifestyle.

Answer 9

I&#039;m a pescatarian and we may not be vegetarians but I don&#039;t think that means we shouldn&#039;t be allowed to discuss in this forum

Answer 10

I&#039;m an odd ball I&#039;m afraid , I&#039;m a veggie but didn&#039;t just decide one day to become one , it was a natural process from childhood.I never was fond of any meat and the older i got and realised that an animal was dying to feed me , i made the choice NEVER to let anything that was once a living being touch my mouth.

I&#039;m very healthy and fit and very active so id say its affected me positively indeed.
