Now, as a holistic nutritionist, I can advocate vegetarianism only if people are really conscientious about still getting protein: eggs, fish, beans and rice....there are no native societies that are vegan, and only a few that are vegetarian. So be careful to get enough protein!<BR/><A HREF="http://www.bodaweightloss.com" REL="nofollow"><BR/>bodaweightloss</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25073771.post-73443633536058023952009-01-19T14:35:00.000-08:002009-01-19T14:35:00.000-08:00Hi Laurie,Thank you so much for your support!

I hope people will help out in any way they can for Share Our Strengths. <BR/><BR/>It's funny you should write about food today though. I ate cheese on top of french onion soup yesterday. I've been gluten and dairy free since the summer, with no real diagnosis, it just made me feel better. So I get soup without bread, etc, and it helps. I don't have to as careful as someone with celiacs, but I notice when I do eat gluten.<BR/>Anyways, back to the cheese, I thought I really want cheese, because it's been so long... but it made me so sick, so I guess I will continue with the no dairy, because I always feel better. I was just kind of testing myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526791579212407541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25073771.post-9661368823295792852009-01-14T20:00:00.000-08:002009-01-14T20:00:00.000-08:00I'm celiac as well.

I have a chronic illness that has no cure, but I've found so much relief from eating a diet of mostly plants, whole grain rice, and white meats. It took a while for me to see results but after 2-3 years of super healthy eating I'm feeling amazing in so many ways. I still have some chronic symptoms and pain, but I think clearer, am less tired, and I sleep better!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410726644644555689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25073771.post-49374514527419507622009-01-14T10:33:00.000-08:002009-01-14T10:33:00.000-08:00I was vegetarian for 14 years, vegan for 7 of them...I was vegetarian for 14 years, vegan for 7 of them, and danced 6 days a week. Then I was diagnosed with cancer at age 27. I’ve wavered between “screw the healthy lifestyle it did me no good” attitude, to trying raw food green diets that caused intestinal bleeding. The anxiety of what to eat was driving me crazy. How healthy can that be?<BR/><BR/>I consulted an acupuncturist in Chinatown, expecting him to layout a magic umiboshi and seaweed regimen. Instead, when I asked him what I should be eating, he said two words: “Variety and moderation.” <BR/><BR/>I heed his words, plus I listen to my body. I don’t eat dairy, not because a book told me so; I noticed I get more colds when I eat it. I eat only organic meats. The lack of accessibility and high cost has reduced my meat intake, and assures when I do eat it, it’s the healthiest possible. I try to eat more veggies, not because a guru or celebrity told me too, but because I like how they make me feel. I stopped striving for perfection, let myself off the hook, and really, really enjoy big bowls of bread pudding.Kairol Rosenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14176295815173905314noreply@blogger.com
