Vegetarian Confusion…
I’ve been a vegetarian for about seven months now and I love it! I will never, ever go back to eating meat. I didn’t realize how easy it would be to live without meat. Giving up meat was definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The only negative is that I’m not sure if my body is getting all of the proper vitamins and nutrients that I need. Protein is also a big concern for me. I’ve been eating eggs regularly to improve my protein intake, but I want to go back to being a lacto-vegetarian. I don’t want to have issues with cholesterol from eating eggs too often.
I have to figure out what my body needs and find ways to get it without meat. I don’t want to compromise my health just because I don’t want to eat meat. I wonder how being a vegetarian effects CLA. I read that CLA is one of those essential fatty acids that are found in beef. I guess since I don’t eat beef I have to get CLA from dairy. Hmm. I feel like there is still so much more I need to learn about vegetarianism.
