A perfectly valid question many people have about vegetarianism is “why?” With seemingly everyone around doing fine on the “standard” diet, why bother with something different?
One reason is for your own health. It seems the world is on a health craze right now, but maybe that’s just how it’s always been. I find it curious that the assumption all around is that a vegetarian diet is healthier than the Standard American Diet (SAD) yet people don’t want to do much with this information.
“I know I should probably eat less meat but…” and that sentence is never finished. Never finished because there is no excuse for not doing what you know (your own words) you should be doing. If you believe something can improve your health, do it now or stop complaining about your poor health.
But is a vegetarian diet really better for you?
You’re expecting me to say “absolutely” and then pour on the stats to back up my claim, right? Well, my answer to the question is “maybe.”
Will a vegetarian diet harm you? It would be easy to destroy your health with only chocolate and candy - even if they contain no animal ingredients. If you’re eating real food, though, that won’t be the case. Will that double cheese burger harm you? I think you know the answer to that one.
Go find out what a meet free diet does for you. I won’t be able to tell you that and neither will anyone else. Find out. How bad could it be? How great could it be?
Here’s a two minute video from CNN on Angela Stokes who got rid of 160 pounds (~72.5 kg) by changing what she ate.
And if you’re interested in learning about the kind of things she did, check out this free online seminar from Kevin Gianni - a guy I’ve been following for a long time now. It starts Sunday. I’m really looking forward to it.
