I eventually realized that the cutting out of dairy was the part that was really medically benefitting me and added meat back in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-220408 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:56:54 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 220408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been a vegetarian for 14 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-220092 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 09:39:57 +0000 Alivoo01 220092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I love veggies like @Rubies:, I don't know if I could go completely meatless. I have a weak spot for good ole medium rare steaks and all things dairy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219853 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 06:54:52 +0000 Smurfette 219853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I couldn't give it up. Plus DH NEVER could so I would have to cook it still. He always has to have some kind of meat in the meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219841 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 06:38:43 +0000 MamaMoose 219841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I could never give up meat. I also think I would be one of those fat vegetarians because if I didn't eat meat I would probably have pasta for dinner every single day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219818 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 03:30:56 +0000 anonysquire 219818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Why did I just google vivisection? OMG! </p> <p>I once watched a documentary online called Vegucated and then I was Vegan for a week because it made me so sick. I had the worst aversion to meat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219806 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 01:39:41 +0000 lemondrop 219806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, although I tend to eat less meat just by preference. I am completely fine with eating anything humanely killed- in fact I feel that eating meat supports veterinarians, which is the field that both my husband and myself are in. </p> <p>I could never be a vegan though, I love my dairy too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219733 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 23:41:03 +0000 cranberryapple 219733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownsquirrel: Whoo hoo!! I'm eating Paleo-ish too! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219501 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:51:45 +0000 wheres_c 219501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have been vegetarian for 12 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219435 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:37:48 +0000 jedeve 219435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but we rarely cook meat and I can definitely go days without eating it. If I do, it's usually just one meal a day. I don't like labels though so I wouldn't say I was "flexitarian" or anything (hate that word!) But the world can support more people on a plant based diet. It also encourages me to eat more veggies (I don't think that being a vegetarian is inherently healthy - it's what you eat instead). But mainly meat is just expensive, you have to take more care with food safety, and it's easier for me to overcook. But I've probably ate more since getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219414 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:32:24 +0000 chopsuey 219414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could never be a vegetarian </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219413 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:32:10 +0000 SleepyMonkey 219413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love meat too much to ever give it up, but it is good for me. if i don't eat enough meat, my hair falls out. really weird, but true in my case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219410 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:31:59 +0000 sulli301 219410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I am not. I could not be a vegan, but could probably be a vegetarian if I wanted to be </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219400 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:30:17 +0000 cvbee 219400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be a vegetarian, and I when I was a vegetarian I hated when people said they 'used to be' one too....like it was some sort of thing I would grow out of but I was so sure I wouldn't. (I was even a vegan for a couple of years, but a bad vegan...I didn't eat properly). </p> <p>I went back to meat after considering using protein powder and other supplements. (I was a dancer and wanted to be stronger). And then when I went back to meat, I actually dropped 20 pounds, so I think my body either didn't like being veggie or I was just a bad vegetarian. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219313 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:57:39 +0000 photojane 219313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: ME TOO. love food. </p> <p>i eat some kind of meat at just about every meal. i think the exception would be quick breakfasts, when i eat a pop tart or cereal. lunch and dinner are always meat-centered. nomnomnom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219297 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:52:55 +0000 Maysprout 219297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only kinda a vegetarian. We hardly ever cook meat at our house but I could never bring myself to go to someone else's house and dictate the meal since I'm not all that adamant about it. I will crave meat once in awhile so I'll just get it the next time we go out to eat. I guess I'm more of a special occasion meat eater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219270 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:46:04 +0000 regberadaisy 219270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh nonoo I could never be. I love all food wayyyy too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219258 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:43:30 +0000 Mrs.B 219258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a vegetarian and have been for 2 years. I'm not strict though because on occasion I do eat some seafood but never anything land based and it is usually just some Tilapia. Now that I'm pregnant I crave Chick Fila but I haven't eaten it and I won't. I don't have a gallbladder and eating meat really messes up my system. I also have chosen this lifestyle for personal reasons and how messed up America's food system is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219257 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:43:22 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 219257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't do vegan - love eggs and dairy, but we eat so little meat I might as well be a vegetarian - for some reason meat has become even less appealing during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219246 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:40:41 +0000 Arden 219246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been a vegetarian for fifteen years.<br /> I rarely miss meat unless I smell a steak or fried chicken.<br /> I was a vegan for the first eight years, but then I moved overseas and it was too difficult to find enough vegan options so I went back to milk, eggs, and yogurt.<br /> Now that I'm back in the states I was going to become vegan again, but now that I'm pregnant I'm going to stick with the dairy for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219235 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:38:13 +0000 cyndistar3 219235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't survive being vegetarian let alone vegan! And I would be way fatter because if I don't eat meat I look to carbs to fill me up so I end up eating way more crap foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219146 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:06:37 +0000 Rubies 219146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a vegetarian but based on my food choices, I probably COULD be. I looooove all things veggie. I could give up all meat except the occasional steak. I love medium rare red meat. Slurp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219145 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:06:30 +0000 brownsquirrel 219145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, opposite actually, We're paleo... My sister is a long time vegetarian and she says she misses steak the most.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-vegetarianvegan#post-219135 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:05:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 219135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a vegetarian for 3 months in jr high because I was so horrified by vivisection. But meat was too delicious alas and I went back to my carnivore ways.</p> <p>Are you a vegetarian? Do you miss meat at all? </p>
