So i decided to become a veggie a few days ago after a lot of thought. You see I was a veggie whilst I was travelling around India and Nepal and that was really easy since the meat is poor quality and the veggie food is some of the best on the planet...But when I got back I stopped and started eating meat again because my family would make me a roast dinner and i didn't really want to feel rude. Now after a couple of months of being back i've decided that I actually felt more healthy when on a veggy diet so thats my reason for becoming one again. Unusually it doesn't have much to do about animal cruelty it's mainly because I feel humans were designed to eat veggies and not meat (or very very littel meat). I feel eating meat is quite unnatural. Actually now I don't like the idea of roast beef or chcken or anything like that because it just reminds me of flesh and so I find it rather repulsive...I'm not sure if other people find that? Anyway, i've done my research and I know what foods I should be eating. But one thing i'm totaly stumped on is where to get my source of B12 without taking any supplements. Also can someone explain the animno foods I should be getting and what foods I can and should be combining to get them? And what about the essential aminos? Where do i get these from? Finally is there any warning signs I should watch out for that would be indicative of inadequate diet? Thanks. Pete
I don't know where to get B12 without supplements, but it's supplemented in lots of food I eat anyway. Lots of cereals, soy milk and other things will have it. Take a look at the labels. As for amino acids, i think soy, whole wheat, flax, and cannabis are good sources. You might want to double check that.. I get mixed up between fatty acids and amino acids.
flax and hemp are great omega acids. Hemp seed nuts are great in soy yogurt and granola. Be careful not to heat flax ol (and I think the same goes with hemp oil too)..kills the good stuff
yes. as ground seed and as pressed oil NOT commercially from potent plants. All imported to teh US because of the Draconian laws.
