		<description><![CDATA[His name is also a myth, the truth is not 100 percent correct. Therefore, the truth needs to be tested. But even so, many people are trapped and also believe in these myths. Well, so you do not have one yet, the following 12 myths and facts about the diet that you should know to be true.]]></description>

<p>8 Margarine is healthier and lower fat than butter. <br />Fact: The content of fat contained in margarine as much as the calories contained in the butter. That is, they do not provide real benefits for slimming. To make matters worse, both contain unsaturated vegetable oil are harmful to heart health. If you really prefer the taste of butter note the calories contained in it while eating them. For example, do not store butter in the fridge and apply a thin layer only on one bread. <br />9 Select the honey rather than sugar when dieting. <br />Fact: Honey contains simple sugars around 75 percent and 25 percent water. This is what makes honey contains higher calories than sugar. Just imagine, one teaspoon of honey contains 25 calories while 1 teaspoon of sugar contains 16 calories. That is why, too much eating honey can cause tooth decay. But the honeymoon does not mean useless. The proof, of the flavonoid on the honey is useful as an antioxidant that may help lower heart disease risk in higher honey. Most importantly, do not over-eat honey. <br />10 Red meat is not good because of the high-fat diet. <br />Fact: It is often, right, we hear that when dieting, you should avoid red meat? Indeed, hell, excessive consumption of red meat can clog blood vessels. However, about half the fat in red meat can actually maintain the vitality of the heart. Because red meat contains the unsaturated oleic acid. In addition, red meat also contains various vitamins and minerals, especially iron, the body needs. <br />In  conclusion, to avoid anemia, extreme fatigue, lack of energy, and  shortness of breath when exercising, red meat consumption is necessary. Notes, choose lean cuts of meat and no fat and processed by roasting. This will help keep your fat intake is very low. <br />11 Do not eat before a workout can help dieters. <br />Fact: Exercise is very good in helping the diet. But you should, get your body strong enough while doing sports or exercising is not hungry. Abdominal conditions, &Auml;&uacute;kosong, &Auml;&ugrave; it will endanger your health. Furthermore  the study showed, after 20 minutes of exercise, it turns out people do  not eat more than those who did not exercise. The only thing that makes them, &Auml;&uacute;merasa, &Auml;&ugrave; eating more is a suggestion or a thought that says the food taste better. So, try to exercise when your body fit, yes. <br />12 vegetarian diet helps you lose weight. <br />Fact: As with a regular diet, vegetarian diet may eat fewer calories, less fat and more fiber. But if not planned properly, the result could be equally high in fat and calories with a regular diet. So,  regardless of whether you are a meat eater or vegetarian, it is  important to keep referring to the daily calorie and healthy eating. Namely,  based on high-fiber eating, eating five fruits and vegetables every  day, choosing low fat dairy products, as well as low-fat foods such as  nuts, eggs, and soy. Do not forget, less sweet and fatty foods as well.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Week four. weight loss. family problems. social issues.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;Ok so week four was definitely the most challenging week so far. It wasn&#8217;t the cravings that made it hard. I have actually not had any cravings for meat but rather am becoming disgusted by the thought of eating meat. Well i found my new favorite vegetarian meal. Quesodilla! I will add my own personal recipe for it on my site so you can go here to find it&nbsp;<a href="http://www.triond.com/users/SimplyMe93" target="_blank">http://www.triond.com/users/SimplyMe93</a>. It is simple involves no cooking at all and it is very affordable. This is great for a college student like me.</p>
<p>So now to talk about the hard part of this week. I was forced into many social situations where I would be eating with others. Most were not difficult but a few were. I spent the weekend at my grandmother&#8217;s house helping her prepare for my cousin&#8217;s wedding. The whole weekend she questioned me about my choice. She tried to convince me to eat the meat that she cooked and refused to cook anything but meat and maybe one side dish. This was fine but she is the kind of lady that does not believe her guest should have to do any work so she didn&#8217;t want me to cook my own food either. I had many fights with her over this and it ended up with her finally giving up and letting me cook my food even though she obviously didn&#8217;t understand.</p>
<p>The next part that was hard was at my cousin&#8217;s wedding. They are a very country family and if you know anything about country people they love their meat. So all the choices they had were pretty much meat based food. I was able to find a few fruits and vegetables there. This was fine I didn&#8217;t expect them to have a vegetarian section or anything. The problem arose when my aunt addressed me in front of a crowd of people telling me that I was sick. She claims I am anerexic and that I need to see a doctor. This is ridiculous. I love food! I just simply was not eating much because there were not many options for me to choose from. She made a big deal about it and also got a few other people on her side. Apparently she had noticed my weight loss and assumed I had an eating disorder. At this time I thought I had only lost 5lbs. But I weighed myself later on and realized I had lost 3 more pounds. So now I weigh 117. Again I feel like this is not much and that yes I realized what it looked like to her but she knew of my decision to become vegetarian and this upset me greatly.</p>
<p>The next bad thing happened at work. I was talking with a coworker and he was telling me how much he loves furs and leathers. I simply did not say anything to avoid an argument but once he started talking more and more about it I couldn&#8217;t help but ask him to stop. I realize people do not see things the same way I do and i&#8217;m not going to push my beliefs on you but I wanted him to respect my decision and stop talking about these animals because it is upsetting to me. So when I say this he goes on to tell me why I am wrong to feel the need to protect the animals. Of course nothing he said was actually true. He could not come up with any legit reason. I ended up in a debate over this and now I feel he finds it fun to mention it to upset me.</p>
<p>I guess the reason these things were so hard is because its my first time addressing being vegetarian in public and it not being accepted. It is very difficult and I wish people would respect my decision the way I respect theirs. If you have any advice for me I would love to hear it. Any help would be great right now.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[New recipes... balanced meal.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the beginning of week three it was great. I was eating balance meals and I felt so strong. But while sitting in class one day there was a girl eating a chicken biscuit from my favorite restaurant. It smelled amazing and it made me want it so bad. For the rest of the day I kept having to remind myself why I am vegetarian. When I came home and was looking for something to prepare for dinner all I wanted was meat. I decided to try to make a veggie burger. It was made from lentils and carrots mainly. It didn&#8217;t sound too appealing to me at first but when I cooked it, it was so satisfying. I added a little cheese on top and it just made a delicious meal. And it is so healthy. If you are interested in the recipe just go to my page and look for my lentil/carrot burger recipe article. Here is the link to my page&nbsp;<a href="http://www.triond.com/users/SimplyMe93" target="_blank">http://www.triond.com/users/SimplyMe93</a>. If you try it I would love to hear what you have to say about it. Also I will be adding other recipes I come across constantly also for any of you wanting to try new vegetarian meals. After these burgers my cravings were satisfied and they have not bothered me since. I feel this vegetarian diet getting easier and easier everyday. I am so happy I chose this life style!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What do you think it means to be vegetarian?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Think it means simply not eating meat?That&#8217;s only part of the story.Being a vegetarian means making a lot of choices about what you eat,about how much you pay attention to your health,about taking control of one part of your life in a positive way,about being sensitive to the condition of animals,about understanding the balance of life around the world,about sustainable agriculture,and the well-being of others.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Amilcardesousa.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/04/11/amilcardesousa_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="705" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Am&iacute;lcar Augusto Queir&oacute;s de Sousa, a Portuguese medical doctor and president of the first Portuguese vegetarian society.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Does it all seem a bit overwhelming?It doesn&#8217;t need to be.Being a vegetarian is an individual choice,and people are into vegetarianism for a variety of reason.What&#8217;s more,those reasons can change and evolve over time.The point is,you can influence many things around you,globally and locally,with a vegetarian lifestyle.</p>
<p><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chinese-buddhist-cuisine-taiwan-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/04/11/chinesebuddhistcuisinetaiwan1_1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="227" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>There&#8217;s never been a better time to be vegetarian.Once thought of as a counterculture diet practiced only by hippies,health nuts,or animal rights extremists,vegetarianism is moving into the mainstream.Vegetarian Times magazine estimates that more than 12 millions Americans can call themselves vegetarians_about one third more than a decade ago.In the United Kingdom,actual vegetarians number more than 2.5 million;more than 2 percent of Canadians are vegetarians;many more consider themselves to be vegetarian.</p>
<p>Doctors,major health organizations such as the American Cancer Society and American Dietary Association,and government agencies such as the Surgeon General&#8217;s Office are all calling for a drastic reduction in fat intake and for more vegetables,fruits,and whole grains.So what should we eat?Less meat,cheese,and milk,and more of the things vegetarians eat:fruits,vegetables,beans,and grains.</p>
<p>In 1996,for the very first time,the United States government endorsed vegetarian diets in its Dietary Guidelines for Americans.Though these groups don&#8217;t come right out and advocate vegetarian diets,it&#8217;s clear that they approve of eating more of the foods these diets contain.In the United States,the National Restaurant Association has recommended thats restaurants offer vegetarian items to give &nbsp;people what they &nbsp;want.Big food companies are making veggie burgers and other health-conscious foods and selling them in grocery even i small towns.</p>
<p>On the environmental front,many people are realizing that our resources are limited,and that meat production is not the most efficient or most environmentally conscious use of those resources.Factory farming,with its emphasis on treating live animals as commodities to be caged,shot full of hormones and drugs,and cruelly killed,its destroying the family farm and causing a rise in salmonella and other diseases.We need to be concerned about the quantity of our food and the treatment of animals.The terrible irony is that starvation around the world continues to increase,as do incidences of cancer,heart disease,and obesity in meat-eating cultures.</p>
<p>Though statistics are hard to come by,the number of vegetarian teenagers is definitely growing.Trend watchers believe that young people make up the fastest growing segment of vegetarians.All over the country,youths are asking their high schools and colleges to offer vegetarian meals.Teens are organizing animal rights rallies and joining vegetarian groups.A magazine written by and for teen vegetarians is growing fast.Nearly everyone knows of a neighbor,cousin,or classmate who&#8217;s vegetarian.A poll conducted by Teenage Research Unlimited showed that one in four teens believes it&#8217;s in to be vegetarian.</p>
<p>The good news is that not only have vegetarian diets been pronounced safe by nearly every major medical authority around,they&#8217;ve even been proven to be healthier than the average meat eater&#8217;s diet by countless studies.Vegetarians have been shown to have lower rates of heart disease,less incidence of some cancers,less osteoporosis,and fewer digestive system disorders.Even more good news:a good vegetarian diet is safe for growing teens as well.</p>
<p>Any doubts about whether vegetarian diets can providee strength and vitality can be dispelled by looking at tennis great Martina Navratilova,basketball star Bill Walton,or track legend Carl Lewis_all vegetarians.As for brain power,consider vegetarians in history:Louisa May Alcott,Albert Einstein,Sir Isaac Newton,Henry David Thoreau,George Bernard Shaw,Voltaire,and many others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Vegetarian </strong>This is sort of an umbrella term for people who don&#8217;t eat any meat-no fish,chicken,beef,or pork.Or as some would say,anything that once had eyes except potatoes.Vegetarians may eat animals products such as milk,cheese,eggs,and honey.</p>
<p><strong>Lacto-ovo vegetarian </strong>Vegetarians who eat eggs and milk product.</p>
<p><strong>Lacto-vegetarian </strong>A p erson who eats a vegetarian diet that includes milk products but not eggs.</p>
<p><strong>Ovo-vegetarian </strong>A less common diet that includes eggs but no milk products.</p>
<p><strong>Vegan </strong>pronounced VEE-gun or pure or complete vegetarian.Vegans abstain from all animals products,including all dairy products and honey.Many vegans also do not use leather,silk,goose down,or wool.For the record,the American Vegan Society says that only people who &nbsp;do ont use animal products for food or clothing should call themselves vegans.The AVS says that vegan describes more than just a diet,it&#8217;s an entire lifestyle that avoids all forms of animal exploitation.</p>
<p>The vegans lifestyle can be very hard to follow.Some people are strict vegetarians but still use animal products,such as leather shoes or photographic film manufactured using gelatin from the hooves of cows.</p>
<p><strong>Semi-vegetarian </strong>Many people who call themselves vegetarians eat meat occasionally.Thet find it hard to pass up turkey at Thinksgiving,say,or they eat a soup with a meat or fish stock perhaps without knowing it.Strict vegetarians may object to people who are not completely off meat calling themselves vegetarians.Others believes that labels do not matter and that a reduction in meat comsuption is certainly desirable.</p>
<p>Term such as pollo-vegetarian a person who eats no meat except chicken or perso vegetarian eats fish are some contracdictory,because chicken and fish are animals.Whatever people choose to call themselves,its their business.We should all be happy if people are eating less meat.</p>
<p><strong>Macrobiotic </strong>This diet,which is mostly vegetarian but can also include fish,was developped in Japan.It advocates eating foods that are native to one&#8217;s area and that balance one another.This diet is often adopted by cancer and AIDS patients who want to make their bodies strong to stave off further damage from disease.</p>
<p><strong>Fruitarians </strong>A person who eats only fruits,seeds,and nuts.Health professinals consider this extreme diet unhealthy and don&#8217;t recommend it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you thought about becoming vegetarian or vegan, but need more information?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>It is good to accomplish a little bit of research before you make a lifestyle change. This advice certainly applies to diet plan. Since changing <a href="http://www.examskey.com/cisco-iron-port-certification.html" target="_blank">Cisco IRON Port Certification</a> &nbsp;with a plant-based diet, I&#8217;ve read many books about the subject and regard the next three to possess been very helpful, authentic, and informative.</p>
<p>The China Study There&#8217;s nothing beats analyzing good hard research before you make a decision. The truth is, one of many mantras for fulfillment is &#8220;research, research, research.&#8221; The China Study They figured that &#8220;people who ate probably the most plant-based foods were the healthiest and tended to stop chronic disease.&#8221; The healthiest diets excluded meat, fish, and dairy foods. The healthiest protein sources were from vegetables and whole grains. The research findings are presented well and make up a strong case for the benefits of a non-meat and non-dairy eating style. Becoming Vegetarian If The China Study The book, Becoming Vegetarian Being Vegan It needs time to work to find out if the vegetarian meals are sustainable and habit-forming. For many who achieve the new lifestyle, it isn&#8217;t a long time before one realizes that the creation of dairy food is linked closely on the production of meat products and is the same issues which turn people off meat. Upon reaching this point, the eBook Being Vegan The author does a <a href="http://www.examskey.com/cisco-unity-design-specialist-certification.html" target="_blank">Cisco Unity Design Specialist Certification</a> &nbsp;thorough job of explaining that being vegan is a lot more than just a dietary change. It&#8217;s a alteration of thinking, compassion, and ultimately a private philosophy having a world view. A vegan dishes are vegetarian but also excludes dairy foods and then any animal derivatives found in the constituents or used to make ingredients. It teaches the reach of your respective compassion must plunge to encompass all life. This is a extremely powerful thought and illuminates the mindset to reside with and appreciate a plant-based diet.</p>
<p>After reading these three books, <a href="http://www.examskey.com/advanced-security-field-specialist-certification.html" target="_blank">Cisco Advanced Security Field Specialist Certification</a> &nbsp;those considering changing with a plant-based diet really should have a fantastic feel for the plethora of issues connected with vegetarian and vegan lifestyles and stay happy to start eating differently if so desired. The concept of consuming meals cooked simply with vegetable and grain ingredients may be part of human discourse since ancient times, though a certain amount of research you can know more about the thought causing all of its implications.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chinese-buddhist-cuisine-taiwan-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/04/04/chinesebuddhistcuisinetaiwan1_1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="227" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Vegetarian now appears to be an increasingly popular word in the world. In the big cities of the world, vegetarian restaurants has become the choice is quite easy to find. In Indonesia world by international airlines. Vegetarianism or vegetarianism is the flow of a stream where the worshipers do not eat animal products and derivatives, just confine themselves to vegetable products.</p>
<p>Some people turn to vegetarian due to health reasons, lifestyle, not used to eating meat, or religious background. Being a vegetarian body feels healthier. not easily tired, and did not get sick. For this reason we want to establish a restaurant that serves a special vegetarian menu.</p>
<p>Restaurants that serve vegetarian food is still rare, special vegetarian restaurants are also rare. However, no specific menu presents like a non-vegetarian dishes. Restaurant to be established is called &#8220;VEGETARIAN RESTO&#8221;., Which will provide special menus for vegetarian food was good and pure vegan lacto ovo vegan (half-vegan) and a variety of beverages.</p>
<p>Given the increasing number of diseases caused by food, then people start looking for healthy alternative foods such as vegetarian meals. Because the restaurant that serves a special vegetarian menu is still rare to see these opportunities &#8220;VEGETARIAN RESTO&#8221; optimistic would be a market share of the restaurant. Vegetarian menu is not only intended for adults but is also available vegetarian menu for children, and adolescents, so that the marketing objectives of a vegetarian restaurant is quite spacious. Looking at the breadth of the marketing objectives planned vegetarian restaurant sales for the first month that is equal to 100 servings 150 servings of the food menu and drink menu every day. If an increase in sales then in the second and subsequent portions will be added as an increasing number of consumers. Market opportunities for introducing vegetarian restaurant that is quite good because in Indonesia the number of vegetarians tend to grow quite a lot and although no exact numbers. From a business standpoint, the trend is the emergence of vegetarian, of course, opens up new opportunities, among others, to open a restaurant that provides a special menu for them. Moreover, the vegetarian food market potential has not been a lot of people worked. People are also increasingly understand the importance of diet so that their market expanded from the standard price is not too high.</p>
<p>In the production process is done with, both from the procurement of equipment and raw materials, preparation, cooking until distribution, and marketing to consumers. For the procurement of equipment and raw materials by way of direct purchase without a partner.</p>
<p>Vegetarian restaurant food production process is as follows:</p>
<p>a. Most dry food from a partner do each week, and buy fresh food directly in the market every morning.</p>
<p>b. Receipt of raw food materials and food inspection upon request.</p>
<p>c. Storage of dry groceries, fresh food is being prepared to be processed immediately.</p>
<p>d. Raw food is processed in accordance with demand menu requested by the consumer.</p>
<p>e. Food distributor.</p>
<p>Ways of making</p>
<p>The number of food production adjusted to market demand. If market demand increases, the amount of food production also increased, and vice versa.</p>
<p>Raw materials of vegetable and soy foods like tofu and tempe, if treated correctly with the right seasonings, can appear to be a delicious dish. Vegetarian restaurant, consumers can eat peking duck dishes, kebabs, salmon team, etc. made from raw materials protena. Protena raw materials are made from soy and gluten. Raw materials referred to, can be processed and blended into the dish as the original. Peking duck, and salmon kebabs at the restaurant, cooking spices like the original. Only, when examined more deeply, when chewed, you will find the sensation of soy. Because it&#8217;s made from soy cuisine. However, you do not have to be disappointed, although the menu is made from soybeans, but enough to satisfy your craving. Another dish that can be eaten at Vegetarian Resto, among others, sapo know, green beans and mushrooms protean kailan cah (cah kailan much like beef). With dishes like the original spice blend, then the materials protean even then, represents a sense of the original cuisine.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Weight loss, telling parents.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The next weekend my parents were coming up to see me. I had not told them of my diet yet but I knew I was going to have to tell them soon. I was scared they would be angry with me. There are not many vegetarians where I live and its not really accepted here. While sitting down with them I&#8217;m not sure what we were talking about but all I know is I just said it. I told them &#8220;I don&#8217;t eat meat anymore&#8221; they were a little confused. They didn&#8217;t believe me at first but when they realized it was true they became worried about my health not mad at me. They took me to buy nutritional foods and vitamins to help me. This was great. It felt great knowing they accepted my decision. The second weak was hard. I was having cravings for meat. When my roommates cooked I wanted to just give up and eat it. But I just reminded myself is it worth that animals life. This thought helped me a lot.</p>
<p>When the second week was over I decided to weigh myself just to see if I had lost any weight because I was feeling rather thin. I also was only eating around 700 calories a day. Unhealthy amount but I was eating lots of food. Before becoming vegetarian I was 5&#8242;2&#8243; and I weighed 125 after week two I weighed 120. This is not much but it is a lot for my small body.</p>
<p>I knew I needed to find some better food. I was doing better than I had the first week but it still was not perfect yet. I wanted to find some kind of food that would give me the calories I needed and the vitamins. I also wanted some delicious food to help take my mind off meat. I found a recipe for veggie burgers. I&#8217;m going to try it and if I like it I will definetly be sharing it with you guys. Just keep an eye on my page at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.triond.com/users/SimplyMe93" target="_blank">http://www.triond.com/users/SimplyMe93</a>&nbsp;also there you will find my first week.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Please feel free to leave comments, tips, or even tell about your own experiences. I would love to hear about them.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always hated the way animals are killed for their meat. But living with my parents it not an option to be vegetarian. My parents eat meat with every meal and many times that is the only thing in their meal. In order to survive living with my parents I had to eat meat. I loved meat. My favorite foods all contained meat and I never was a fan of vegetables. I only ate them because I know I needed them. I moved off to college last august. My parents bought my groceries for me every week. This always consisted of meat and maybe a can of corn. But after talking with friends and realizing that a vegetarian diet really wouldn&#8217;t be that bad. Its cheaper, healthier, and you avoid all the nasty hormones that are injected into meat. This not even considering the fact that you now will not be part of the brutal killings of innocent animals.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I started doing research on vegetarianism and came across a movie that everyone should watch. Its called earthlings. You can watch it free online if you are interested here is the link&nbsp;<a href="http://www.earthlings.com/" target="_blank">http://www.earthlings.com/</a>. I already know many of you will say they found the worse scenarios to put on the film and not all places are that cruel. Even if that is true do you want to take a chance and give your money to these people? I know I don&#8217;t. I&#8217;m not against eating animals. I believe it is natural to eat but it natural for us to hunt and kill our own food. If we did this a lot less animals would be killed and it would be a lot healthier this way.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After I made my decision I knew I did not want to slowly become a vegetarian like it is recommended by others. I wanted to start now. No more meat from that point on. When I made this decision I was on spring break therefore I was at my parents house. I managed to go the last few days of my break without eating any meat and they also did not notice. This was probably a mistake because I was not eating near enough and I was not getting the correct vitamins by only the little things my parents had in our home that were not meat products. Luckily I was only there for four days before I went back to my apartment. The first thing I did was go to the grocery store to find healthy food. I am not used to eating a variety of vegetarian foods. I did not know what vegetables or fruit to grab. I went through the store and grabbed a few things but nothing very tasty. The rest of the week I was eating mixed vegetables and fruits and bread. That was all my diet consisted of. I felt so weak. I was exhausted at the end of the day and I was light headed throughout the day. I tell you this for any of you wanting to become a vegetarian. Make sure you have a plan. Get the right nutrients. This is a big change but you need to do it in the most healthy way. The way I did it was not healthy at all.</p>
<p>I will do better next week. I will become a healthy vegetarian. I will do more research and find better food. Any tips would be great</p>
