I've been a vegetarian since mid 1980's when a very good friend just keeled over with a heart attack. That got me to thinking and changing my own eating habits. When I started this I thought I had to give up part of myself. I tried eating meat, but could never digest it. Ended up with killer headaches, always nauseous, and no energy. Well all that has changed, except for one day last week. And I have had people tell me I probably did not drink enough water. My energy level is up, and as long as I leave the addictive carbs alone I'm fine. So I'm happy to be an LC veggie. I only hope this weight comes back off, Judy
