cool thanks, yeah i might try that. its just really scary reading that you're a natural born meat eater when i don't eat any meat!

Hi, I am an O veggie (almost vegan), and I crave protien all of the time. I supplement with rice protien powder and I have been having some success with this, but I have very low iron levels, so I have been supplementing with liquid iron and I have been feeling better....

Tell me more about soy if you can..... I have been trying to really narrow down what upsets my tummy, and I have been wondering lately if it is soy milk, but sometimes it is ok, and sometimes not.
Also does anyone have any problems with hemp protien and flax?

Thanks, and cheers :)

Hi Dujour and all! I'm also O, and feel hugely better now I'm eating more meat. I've never been totally vegetarian, but used to eat very little animal protein, and also developed stomach problems (inflammed small intestine), and eating disorder. I'm fine now - mostly due to changes in my diet, esp. cutting right back on wheat. I would love to hear a funny meat story!

I have been Vegetarian for 17 years also, and vegan for 9 years. I have been having some pretty serious health concerns. And like Dujour, had started cutting foods out, I had cut out sugar, caffeine, wheat and soy. I went to the Naturopathic Doctor and she told me that my body was starving for meat protein I ate so much wheat and soy that I developed an allergy to them because they weren't good foods for me anyway, I thought I might have celiac disease, started having thyroid and adrenal issues. Anyway, She told me I would continue to have health problems until I got the right kind of protein in my body. Normally I would have searched for a "vegan" opinion, If it hadn't been for the fact that I am sick and getting sicker I would not have listened to her at all. I am at this place where I am supposed to start putting meat into my diet, but I am so disgusted by it. I almost have a phobia of meat and dairy products, I think with time I will be able to eat fish and who knows I am not there yet. I bought a protein powder that has hemp powder, pea and rice protein anyway it has 22 grams of protein per shake. I tried to introduce whey protein powder and got pretty sick. here are the supplements I am taking and they are helping so much! I feel like my brain hasn't been functioning properly for years, and immediately after taking the Amino's I felt so much better. I started taking Amino Acids, pancreatic enzymes, calcium a regular non-veg multi-vitamin /mineral, green vibrance, adrenal support formula, thyroid support formula. I like to run but have been feeling so much pain afterwards in my hips and knees the supplements are helping. I have a mental block about meat I know that I need it, I wish that I didn't because I have never really liked it.

I have been a vegetarian for 30 years and a vegan for 20. I'm a type O and have never had any problems with energy or health. My doctor always gives me a clean bill of health at every checkup. I have never had any major health issues. My cholestoral count is absolutely perfect. If anything, my doctor wants me to exercise more to keep things flowing. I'm 56 years old, with good health, normal weight and good daily energy. The only supplements that I take are Vitamin C, ginsing, garlic and flax seed oil.

Go figure.

Thank you for your post.

I have been Veg for 9 years, was Vegan for 4 of those years.

Last year it was suggested that I add some protein (i.e. meat) back into my diet based on my blood type. I tried buffalo, ostrich, and salmon. I was ok eating it, didn’t get sick or anything. However, I had a hard time eating it based on my mental and spiritual well-being. I also had a hard time with the smell.

I have been trying to incorporate the Blood-O type diet but with the exception of no animal product.

So far I am very healthy and happy. I have lots of energy.

I do have one hang up. I love Chai (which is a black tea). Tis one of my weaknesses!
