I was wondering if you had any knowledge or experience with “different body types need different foods?” I have been GRADUALLY changing my lifestyle (I agree with you that gradual changes are best in order to form life long habits). Anyway I am well on my way to a new lifestyle now (have quit smoking, drinking caffeine, back to exercising and have a whole new perspective on eating healthy). I have been considering going vegetarian for the last couple months. I spoke with my chiropractor (holistic/natural chiropractor whom is vegan herself) about different bodies needing different foods. She sent me to a website that you answer questions and it gives you an idea of where your body type fits in. My end result, “mixed type”. I now know that it takes your body 3 days to digest meat (yuck), leaving your body weighed down. I own a horse rescue farm and have a passion for animals, hence another reason to go vegetarian. This leaves me swaying back and forth……….if you have any information or links regarding different body types needing different foods it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the comment about this link. I don’t know how I missed it since I was reading your blog during vegan week. I told me husband about my want to become vegan (animal rights, stomach problems), and he kinda freaked out. I’ve been slowly transitioning to ovo-lacto vegetarian for the past 4 months. I wanted to try to go vegan starting today for a month, so I made myself a little beef tenderloin that had been in our freezer for months yesterday as my “last” meat anytime soon (my hubby is deployed so he hasn’t been here to eat any meat). I couldn’t even finish half of it. It just wasn’t as good as it would have tasted 5 months ago. I think my tastes are changing as you said. I ordered Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook, and I can’t wait to try those recipes out for my husband when he finally gets home in two weeks. I might cook some meat for him 2-3 times a week, but I hope he ends up being as patient as your husband has been with you. Thanks for being an inspiration!

I found your blog via a friend’s facebook post. I find it very interesting how you’ve progressed into vegetarian eating over the course of your journey. I have a similar history as you in respects to your eating disorders and weight issues but I’ve progressed into a whole foods, healthy eating approach that includes meats from sustainable local farms. Have you read the book “the Vegetarian Myth”? It was written by an ex-vegan. It’s a very good book and I highly recommend this to you as you seem open minded and interested in furthering your nutritional knowledge. Thanks for a great blog!

I just found your blog a while ago and am very interested in what you write. I am a 37 year old woman who still struggles daily with obsessing about what I eat (counting calories, exercising etc…). I figure that if I eat low cal foods, that is good. But, like you’ve written, I find that I get bored or hungry and then will binge. I consider myself pretty healthy though. I have run a few half marathons. But, I’d like to learn more about vegan foods. Have you ever done something on your blog where you do a week long menu to introduce people to veganism (is that a word?) where you would also include what to buy for the weeks food. I think this would be a great tool to help me (and others) realize that it is not that hard to create yummy food that is super nutritious.
Thanks!
