vegetarian diets
brokeplex:
Anyone out there who follows a strict vegetarian diet? I don't mean vegan, but ovo-lacto vegetarian.
I followed a fairly strict ovo-lacto veg diet back in the 1990's for a couple of years and I lost about 50 pounds. I increased my daily exercise quota as well. I really felt healthier after going on the diet and increasing my daily exercise.
I still to this day no longer eat beef, lamb,or pork. I learned to bake my own bread which I still do, and I have kept the weight off after all of these years.
Other lasting effects of my veg experience, I became much more conscious of my diet and my health, and I learned to cook for myself and not rely on restaurants.

I'm interested. Does that mean you had vegetables, eggs, and milk products? What are a couple of sample meals that you liked? Now you have added chicken and seafood?
brokeplex:
Yes, I added eggs, cheese, milk, yogurt to a strict vegetarian diet. A bit like the vegetarian ingredients you might find in a vegetarian East Indian meal.
Later I added some chicken and some fish to the diet, and have pretty much maintained that ever since. I don't consider myself a vegetarian because I do eat chicken and fish, but I would say that the overall percentage of vegetables and milk products in my diet would have to be much higher than the average American.
