Fruitarianism

[Camazotz]

It's entirely possible to be completely healthy on a vegetarian diet and indeed to still have to watch one's weight etc. My father has been vegetarian all his life (due to his religion) as are all my relatives on that side of the family and not a single one of them has ever been weak, deficient etc. Aside from one death in their late 50's (my uncle, due to a heart attack) that side of the family tend to live at least into their late 80's and each successive generation is growing taller, stronger and brainier.

Really protein and calories are everywhere. If you replace with meat with just about anything (aside from the obvious like iceberg lettuce) the gaps will be filled.

A typical day for me will consist of:
Oatmeal and blueberries
Apple
Banana
Carrots
Cucumbers
Pretzels
Whole grain pasta with a sauce I have added tons of spinach, peppers, onions, and mushrooms to.
Two servings of beans with a cup of diced peppers and onions.
And various other snacks (preferably fruit)

Just remember to replace the missing calories with quality food. After all, Coke and french fries typically don't have animal products in them (some fries to) but it isn't a very healthy option. When physical energy goes due to bad nutrition, spiritual energy seems to follow. You can't focus your spiritual energy if your diet won't allow your mind to focus.
