Vegetarians may have lower risk of heart disease: study | ABS-CBN News
How would I begin? I've always been a carnivore. I have a pescetarian for a boyfriend so somehow, I've had dates wherein we ate at Bodhi, a vegetarian fastfood found in SM mall foodcourts. It helps that the mock meat doesn't taste at all like veggies.
At home, it took a while since I learned how to love veggies and eat them on a regular basis. Ampalaya would always be a vegetable I despise and avoid eating. You can give me carrots, zucchini, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, eggplant and kangkong but you cannot force me to eat okra, munggo and any other vegetable that's in the popular dish, pinakbet. If I don't like it, I definitely won't taste it and devour it.
Recently when I do research on how to keep the fat off or lose it gradually, studies similar to this UK study on vegetarianism always come up. It's all some ploy to get you to eat less of the stuff you like and eat more of the fiber-rich variety. Wheatgrass can detox your entire digestive tract with just 2 glasses daily. I remember losing 10 lbs. when I was still drinking wheatgrass capsules. Yeah, it made me lose weight FAST!
Being an endomorph (that's my body type) means it's hard for me to lose weight. I found a diet that says you must start eating right for your body type. An endomorph must avoid carbs, eat legumes of different kinds daily, have 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, avoid sugary and fatty food plus drink more milk. Not an easy thing to do.
I still believe exercise and diet go hand in hand. Unless you've got money to burn on Belo treatments, this is really how you should go about your goal to becoming fit.
