POLL: In what ways does being a vegetarian affect your body?

Answer 1

you f**t and p**p more.. at least thats something i noticed

you veggies know what i mean don't deny it

Answer 2

my body is amazing! I've been a vegetarian for 4 years. (i'm 18 now) My measurements are 36, 23, 36! i have the flattest stomach in the world! I'm 115lbs and 5'6". (I come from a family that suffers from obesity) I know my amazing body is because of being a vegetarian and i'm proud of it! I get all the right nutrients without the antibiotics and hormones that are in meat! My hair is long and shiney with no dead ends! I used to suffer from acne and now i have flawless skin! (my skin cleared up about 3 months after becoming a vegetarian)

Answer 3

Meat is an excellent source of protein which is needed to grow and be healthy.

Answer 4

Personally, I am way healthier and feel more energized. Except I  gained 5 pounds! :[

Answer 5

Well, since I became a vegetarian I have noticed increased energy, my voice is clearer with little to no Flem (gross I know, but dairy causes heavy Flem production) I am no where near heavy in weight, in fact I am a size 2/4. I feel better physically, morally and ethically. My skin is clear and I dont get breakouts anymore, my hair seems healthier and I even sleep better!

Answer 6

Generally it makes you healthier I believe.

Answer 7

Mostly good changes:

1. I can taste things a lot better, as time went on.

2. Cravings for meat subsided after one week.

3. I have more energy, and feel less lethargic.

4. I started craving for fresh raw vegetables, like salads, which I didn't like before. (although I don't think I'll ever be able to go raw vegan.)

5. I lost 5 pounds (that I was never able to lose) after a month of going vegetarian, then another 5 pounds when I went vegan.

6. I feel much more calm and aware.

7. I never get pimples anymore.

8. My acid reflux and IBS symptoms disappeared almost completely. (except when I drink alcohol.)

One thing I noticed though, is for the first few days of going vegetarian I craved for meat, but the thought of cute little chicks being raised in factory farms as seen in Baraka ( http://www.vegtaste.com/main/posting.php... ) helped me fight the cravings. After almost a week of meatless meals, cravings faded away completely. To tell you the truth, now I don't even like the smell of barbecued meat.

Also in the beginning, I didn't care so much for tofu, but now, I love the taste of tofu! But yeah, meat is an acquired taste.
