what sorts of things would i not be able to eat if i became veggie? (apart from the obvious -meat ) (: xx

[antishay]

@natzzjunior that's it - meat, meaning any animal flesh. Vegans are more strict than vegetarians and also avoid eggs, dairy, and sometimes any other animal products such as leather etc. :)

What are your views on the 'Mediterranean diet' that includes small portions of fish? I feel healthier eating this way than ever before :)

[antishay]

@WikidLovely it's great! I loooove mediterranian food! Most med. diets are pretty macrobiotic, so that's healthy, and they focus mostly on healthy fats and lots of veg. There's really nothing terrible about eating meat, and fish is the least harmful... although the pollution in the ocean is not great and therefore finding HEALTHY un-tainted fish is nearly impossible these days. That's really more serious than is given attention, but with that said, a little fish won't hurt :)

Inspiring as always, Shanti. :)

I do miss your grocery hauls.

Do you ever think about doing them again?

I tend to agree. I meet so many people today with strong signs of orthorexia. I had it and have had to fight it for years. I eventually learned to respect the gray area that is life. I look at food very moderately now. And I have the blood tests to show that I greatly improved my health, whereas some people would tell me that I am unhealthy because I have a steak once in a while. There are no "clean" and "dirty" foods. That is black and white. It's just a nutrition value continuum.

Love. <3

Hello I been watching your videos and it's amazing how you make a journal of your weight loss. Question I try to lose weight to, usually I lost 30 pounds already but it seem that I stop losing,now I exercise more but is been a month that instead of losing I'm getting weight is not a lot but it make me concern, this ever happen to you?

[MyRosie2007]

I found that once I decided philosophically to stop eating meat and become vegetarian it was easy. At the time-15 years ago-I just decided I couldn't eat animals anymore. Factory farming is horrendous and that understanding helped. The perk was I lost 50 lbs. Unfortunately I found some junk food is vegetarian! But, the vegetarian eating was/is easy. Cooking vegetarian can also be really easy...especially with the thousands of simple recipes on line. Black beans & brown rice with salsa on top!

@WikidLowe eat a lot of octopus and other sea food. i hope you weren't offended but i love mediterranian food and cannot understand why only now people are talking about it.

[MessLovesMac]

@WikidLovely Everyone i know that went to the US said the same thing has i the taste of the food without the 10000calories sauces is awful, garlic, onions, red onions, cherry tomatoes, olives,basil,olive oil,etc ?! Don't you have them there!? Try cooking with them.

[MessLovesMac]

@WikidLovely You should get a cook book but one published by a french, italian, portuguese, greek chef...because we use fresh products and the food is so good and healthy for you. You'll enjoy food and be more healthy.

[MessLovesMac]

@WikidLovely We drink wine , water, natural juices.No sweeteners or stevia. And we walk a lot because having a car is very expensive.All the foods are so tasty that we don't like going to fast food restaurants. Subway, Burger King, Pizza Hut Restaurants are almost empty or close down because traditional restaurants are always better. Don't get me wrong i love pastas, pizzas, burger but cooked in the old fashion way...

[MessLovesMac]

@WikidLovely I live in Portugal and our diet is mediterranian. You eat a lot of vegetables, fruits, some meat and fish but the thing you americans still do not understand are the portions sizes and processed food. That's the key, we also eat sweets and cakes but they are homemade with milk, brown sugar, eggs,etc.
