He also got me into being Straight edge, which i think is one of the most positive life changing desisions i have ever made. So I guess i have been a vegetarian for about 4 months now. It has had a big impact on my weight loss. its good and bad i think. its good because i cut out alot of cholestrol and other bad things in meat out of my diet, but then again i also cut out my biggest source of protein. So i take vitimins every day. but overall, cutting out meat has helped me lose weight. |
I just learned what Straight Edge was, I had no idea.
Gotta love wikipedia.

I think it's great that you've gone that route, VERY respectable....especially in the scene you're in. What about protein shakes? Ever consider those? There's also a ton of soy protein bars out there that can help you make up for the lost protein from meat.
