I miss being a vegetarian/vegan. I've been both. Anyone who knew me back then would be shocked if they knew I'm a meat eater again.

This was part of my lifestyle foe many years. It wasn't until I became pregnant with my 6 year old that I started craving meat. I mean I wanted steak like crazy!! That's one way I knew I was pregnant.

I'm considering returning to this lifestyle. It worked out so much better for me. I've discussed this with my DH but he's such a meat and potatoes guy. It seems this may be something I'll have to do on my own.

Maybe I'll start with just cutting out red meats and stick to fish/seafood, chicken and turkey. Eventually eating fish/seafood only. I'm not sure yet but we'll see what happens.

I use to be a meat eater and my DH is still a big fan of meat. for the past few months I have totally cut out meat except for seafood. does that make me a vegetarian? Or do I have to stop eating seafood to carry that label? just wondering. btw, I feel soooooooooooo much better now that i stopped eating all that gross meat. I dont know what I was thinking before. It kind of grosses me out now.

I believe just eating seafood and no other meat would make you a pescatarian.

I was just wondering how healthy Vegan "subsitutes" were for you. Such as vegan butter, mayo, cheese, egg, meat? I want to go totally vegan, but my boyfriend (who loves his steak and hot dogs!) keeps telling me they load chemicals and other weird/unhealthy/fattening things in those products to make them taste more like the "real thing." Does anyone have any insight into this? Thank you!

I looked at the Earth Balance container and didn't see any awful chemicals. I compared it to the Smart Balance my DH uses, and the Earth Balance has less ingredients and no strange chemical names. I also looked at the Amy's vegan burger and didn't see any chemicals.

You can go totally vegan and not eat processed foods. If you stick to beans, grains, etc., then you don't have to worry about chemical additives.

I think your boyfriend is full of it

You can make meat substitutes yourself as they generally have very simple ingredients. I'd say with anything, read labels. Is your boyfriend also concerned about all the hormones/chemicals given to animals?

I also agree that you can go vegan without touching any processed items. Legumes, whole grains, veggies, fruit, etc are all vegan.

Ummmm, has he looked at the ingredients in his hot dogs? I don't think processed food is good for you no matter what kind of vegetarian you are or aren't.

Hahah...oh trust me, I've brought up the ingredients in the food that he's eating, but he doesn't care. I'm the health fanatic not him. But I thought he brought up a good point with the vegan substitues...is adding those things to your diet healthier and less fattening than just using, say, regular butter or mayo?

Yes. Butter and mayo are not good for you and the vegan substitutes are generally better. I don't use either though (vegan butter or vegan mayo). I use olive oil quite a bit and mustard for things you'd use mayo with. I firmly believe animal food products are not good for our bodies.

A healthy mayo substitute is nasoya (sp?). Less fat/calories. Earth balance has just as many calories I think but I'd say its a bit healthier.
