After, I lost weight from going to a meat eater to a vegetarian diet proving to my doctor that I can get better all by myself.
Eating more lentils, beans, tofu, hummus, I felt like more alive. I had more energy. Plus, I use to get tired at work and drink Pepsi to wake me up, but then dropped that and ate cilantro instead. I couldn't believe how energized I was!
Plus, my thyroid problem disappeared like totally gone. My doctor wanted to put me on medication! Really?!! I don't do medications at all, only homeopathic medicine, nothing to harm the body.
I felt more alert as well, not so tired anymore, as well.
I started to look for more recipes online, get books from the Library about a vegetarian diet. I never really felt I was on a diet, per se, but on a hunt to make my body feel stronger, more alert, more energy, and more happier.
Well, I've been on this regime for more than 10 years and will never go back to eating meat, or dairy, or processed food.
Always eat fresh, if can, because most can food has salt and fat. Always look for how much salt is in the item. Try to keep it 10mg or less. Look at the sugar content, and fat content. I always buy unsalted, whether a can or frozen vegetables. You can add your own salt.
