Vegetarianism

For most dishes you can, yes.

Where in the world are you talking about? In America, people grow up to eat meat. The vegetarian % in America is rapidly going up. It's currently around 3% still however.

If you traveled to India, you would meat very few people who were not vegetarian however. So it depends where in the world you are talking about.

Yes, lots of it!!!

(Peanuts have protein in them too. so does meat, eggs, beans, and many other things.)

An ovo vegetarian is somewhat rare. They do not consume meat or dairy, but do consume eggs. The majority of the veg community are either vegetarian (consumes dairy & eggs) or vegan (no dairy or eggs). If someone is an ovo vegetarian, they probably have a dairy intolerance.

Whey is a by-product of the cheese making process. If animal rennet is used to make the cheese, the whey also contains animal rennet. However, non-animal sourced enzymes are often used, especially when cheese is mass produced.

The opposite of a vegetarianis called a carnivore (meat-eater) or an omnivore (someone who eats both meat and vegetables).

A healthy diet balances needs for protein with an appropriate amount of carbohydrates, and other vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

Complex carbohydrates from fresh fruits, vegetables and wholegrains. Protein from nuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds; tofu, seitan, beans, quinoa, tempeh, vegetarian sausages, soy milk.

Essential fatty acids from ground flaxseed.

Drink plenty of water also.

Vegetarianism is a broad category, which includes various different versions. Some vegetarians do consume dairy products such as milk and cheese, which are a good source of calcium. Stricter forms of vegetarianism may indeed result in a diet that is deficient in calcium, although in such cases it is certainly possible to take a calcium supplement such as a dolomite pill, or an oyster shell pill. I would add that nobody COMPLETELY lacks calcium. Anyone who has a skeleton has some amount of calcium, and that includes everybody who is alive.

Some followers did, some didn't. Click on the link below, under 'Related links'.

Of course, Swami Vivekananda was a non vegetarian.

Legumes (beans) are great sources of protein and fiber! They're cheap, tend to be low in fat, and work well in a wide variety of recipes.

Nuts and seeds are also pretty good sources and are rich in healthy fats and oils.

Soy products such as tofu, tempeh, and mock meats are increasing in popularity. Tofu is extremely versatile since it can be cooked in a variety of ways and absorbs the flavors of what it's cooked with. Tempeh has a meaty texture. Mock meats are good substitutes for meats that a vegetarian in transition or one who misses meat.

There will be traces or cheeses made with animal by product. There is vegan cheese available.

check the ingredients. There are veggie corn dogs that contain no meat or products derived from the killing of an animal.

Yes, he is. While it is not currently known how long Anthony has been a strict vegetarian, it is well known that he has been practicing this diet belief for quite sometime and often tweets humorous vegan and vegetarian anecdotes on his official Twitter account.

A pescetarian diet is a diet which includes fish but no other animals. Although pescetarians eat fish sometimes, they are mostly vegetarian and have fish only once or twice a week to get the intake of DHA and EPA omega 3 which is hard to find on a vegetarian diet. Nuts, grains, seeds, beans and legumes are the main sources of protein and of course fish.

Some Pescetarians eat eggs and/or dairy and some do not. Pescetarians should also avoid by products of slaughter of land animals such as gelatin, gelatin, asparatame and animal fats from pork etc.

Many athletes are vegetarian. Getting enough protein is not an issue, because there are many sources of natural and unnatural protein available to vegetarians. Eating plenty of eggs and pulses should be a suitable substitute.

There is a wikipedia page of vegetarian athletes, which also links to a page of vegan athletes, the link is below.

Although cutting out meat would reduce protein intake from meat sources, often eating eggs and cheese and pulses rebalances the diet. More of an issue is iron and B12, and when vegetarians become unhealthy it's probably because they haven't made the changes to their diet to get enough protein, iron and B12. Any exclusion diet must be changed to allow for the item being excluded.

Like any "diet" you can eat on a budget or splurge. It depends on your shopping habits and cooking skills/preferences. It CAN be expensive if you want to just "substitute" everything an omnivore might eat with store made vegan alternatives. Those are pricey. On your own, fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains are not as expensive as buying meat, milk, eggs, etc. Shop for what fruits/vegetables are in season. Buy your grains in bulk. Make your own "veggie burgers" or other alternatives.

There is egg replacer for cooking, and try a scrambled tofu recipe (Neal Barnard's Food For Life). Focus on eating new foods instead of trying to replicate old ones (you never can, anyway). Some vegetarians eat eggs (like myself); we are called "ovo-vegetarians" or "ovo-lacto-vegetarians".

Check the ingredients. There is vegetarian gravy, but most conventional gravies are made with meat drippings. You can make vegetarian gravy, or buy a mix for it.

The consumption of soy can change your mentral period. It has a natural form of estrogen in it and just 2 cups a day is like taking birth control pills. Soy can actually change your memstral cycle.

Also, I have been told, read and experienced that if you have a change in diet or excercise (meaning a sudden increase in excercise) that can cause your period to be late. It happened to me twice. I was a week late both times, but not pregnant.

in America alone, 7 billion animals a year are killed for food, many of them being cows. this large number of cows hurts the earth in several ways: 1) they produce massive amounts of methane, 2) their excrement sometimes pollutes freshwater, 3) their grazing ruins topsoil which makes farming impossible, and 4) they require a lot of grain - it takes about 16 lbs of grain to produce 1 lb of meat.
