I have been I vegetarian for the last 25 years, since y was 19. For me, my personal experience, I have no overweight, no high blood pressure, actually I have low blood pressure always in the low 100’s. No cholesterol and no diabetes. No health problems. I do not have eggs unless they are mixed with some other ingredients. Age wise I am 44 but everyone asks me if I am in my early 30’s. I wish! I have no wrinkles. So I believe it was a good decision to become a vegetarian at 19.
Been vegetarian for a few months and I feel great. I work construction and have to do heavy lifting frequently. I haven’t had any struggles with lack protein or strength at all and I’ve been recovering better
i’m thinking of going vegetarian but i’m extremely fussy and i don’t like vegetables, but i’m gonna give it a go!
I was born a vegetarian (my mom transitioned to that diet when she got pregnant with me) and I was raised that way until around high school (when I started to drive and decided I could eat whatever I wanted). Growing up we never really got sick and never had any weight issues. I went my own way of eating but then I ran my body down in college, got sick a few times, weight went up and down, etc for most of my 20s… I knew I wanted to change some things up before I turned 30 this year (wanting to honor God with taking better care of my body) and after not feeling so good, doing some research and feeling convicted in certain areas, I decided to go back to my veg roots (since it was familiar to me) and become a vegetarian again. It’s been almost a month so far and it feels like I’ve never left it… It’s been exciting and comforting and I can tell my body is already thanking me <3
What did you think of all the different kinds of vegetarianism? Are you going to leave animals off your plate now that you know the benefits?

This video should be less biased and show the advantages and disadvantages of vegetarianism
It has been debunked that becoming vegan causes deficiencies. It’s when they become vegan and do not include the right kind of food into their diet. I’m chronically anemic and going vegan actually raised my iron, and I never have a deficiency of B12.
