Can older people really reverse disorders (like blocked arteries and heart disease) from a vegetarian or natural living style? I’ve read it works with diabetes, but what about heart disease? Is it once those arteries are clogged and hardened up with plaques and cholesterol that it cannot be undone or do I have a chance to undo all those years of damage?

I’ve always wanted to become vegetarian (because of moral/ ethical reasons) and I rarely eat other met except chicken, even when that is not very frequently.
I plan to take it up properly when I return to living back at university.
I have a very low protein diet as it is and I need to know what food substitues I should eat instead and how hard it is to go completely meat free and how other people found it?

And I’m sick of tofu… Or maybe I’m just not doing it right. I dunno… I need tips! And gluten recipes!

Thanks!

Is it normal to feel irritable during the first few days of starting a vegetarian diet? Is it possible some withdrawal stage?

I’m eager to become a vegetarian (and later maybe a vegan) after researching it for a few months. However, I’m currently underweight and slightly anemic, (doctors don’t know what is wrong but I have an upcoming appointment with a gastroenterologist) and my family is totally unsupportive of becoming vegetarian.

Once I get my weight back up to normal, I was thinking I could just start slow and have one meat-free day each week (like Paul McCartney’s Meat-Free Mondays) and then go meat-free two days a week, then three days a week, so on and so forth until all my meals are vegetarian.

I need advice because I want to do this the right way so I can stay healthy. Any tips are appreciated! <3

Im just trying this vegetarian thing out and im excited to get started but i need to know what i can and cant eat

what precautions are needed to prevent insufficient intakes in the child, in the adult, and in the pregnant woman?

I am the only vegetarian in my whole family, and I only have a few ingredients to cook things with. D: So I really need some ideas please! I don’t have any tofu either, I couldn’t find it at the grocery store! What section would it be in?

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

I already eat little to no bread and pasta. The only grains I eat are whole grains. It seems like there are carbs in everything though. I dont eat meat.

I want to save money by bringing in my own lunch.

I guess the criteria would be:

* Freezes well
* Can be refridgerated
* Doesn’t smell too much (I catch the bus and I don’t want any embarrassing smells)
* Is filling
* Good value for money
* Doesn’t include fish or meat (dairy is ok)
