- About Me:
- I’m a lacto-ovo vegetarian. This is a really big step for me considering I grew up on mostly cow and pig. It’s taken my sister and I (my roommate) two years to wheen ourselves off of meat. First we gave up pig (our least favorite) then next was cow. The last hold out was chicken (my very favorite). We just kept substituting one for the other until we found enough food to eat that didn’t contain animal carcass. I am very proud to say that I WAS a diabetic on two different types of medicine. Since going completely meat free, I no long need any medicine and my blood sugar controls itself on it’s own. My blood sugar used to be around 300 or more (with medicine)…now the highest it’s gotten is 170 (with no medicine). Not bad!!! Changing our diet has also helped us lost some weight which in turn has help the blood sugar problem. Our main reason for wanting to become vegetarians was because we are such big animal lovers. We just feel like hypocrites because we wanted to save animals but yet… we were supporting slaughtering them for food. I’m sure one day we will be able to find more food we like and we will no longer eat eggs and milk. We at least try to eat organic eggs and milk. Well, it’s a start. Going vegetarian was the right choice for me and my sister, emotionally and for health reasons.
