jask Posts: 36 Joined: 2004/05/04	2004/05/20, 02:52 PM i'm vegetarian. yes it is normal. you haveta talk to your doctor about meal planning and stuff cuz you could really screw your body over if you dont eat proper (gotta have tofu/soy/nuts....very important) i used to be around 130 most of the time pre-veg. now i stay around 124. you will drop a few pounds (it depends on how much red meat/fried food you were eating beforehand as well). i started eating healthier as well when i switched over (more veggies less fried food).

Don't forget to eat enough good fat as well! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur. www.nme-pro.com
