Lacto-ovo vegetarian: It is good to Reflect while making major decision of your Lacto-ovo vegetarian Diet t after 2 years:

Concerns
Reflect about benefits and harm of Fish in the Diet.
Salmon, Mackerel, Sardines and Bluefish have Omega-3 fatty acids.
Some fish can be harmful due to high content of mercury- King Mackerel, Swordfish and canned Tuna.
Then make decision for your Health.

Question 2

can you tell me if i stopped eating meat about a year ago and i've had no stomach problem, but when i have fish i have issues, is this a fish allergy?

Accepted Answer

Probable: But you have to specify the type of symptoms you are getting . Aside from allergy, a toxic reaction to fish protein or the parasite present or an allergic reaction to the parasite (Anisakis) in warm water fish can also cause adverse effects. Consider consulting an allergist.

Question 4

i have erosive gastritis and diverticular disease. i love white and green tea. i stopped eating meat and eat fish instead. am i right?

Accepted Answer

Too late: Diverticulitis is a western disease caused by diet rich in protein and carbohydrates. If you have diverticulosis (the precursor of diverticulitis) dietary maneuvers will not make the lesions go away. But a high residue diet is recommended.

Question 5

is unprocessed red meat unhealthy for my body i mean should i stop eating red meat and just base my protein intake on chicken and fish ?

Accepted Answer

: I find the occasional suggestion that red meat is bad  a myth. What you imply by unprocessed is not clear. Properly prepared red meat is a valuable protein source  used by many cultures worldwide.

Question 6

for the past 2 months i am unable to consume meat,  fish and eggs.  seconds after eating i start to vomit mostly the consumed food and mucus?

Accepted Answer

Seek eval: You will need a more thorough exam and evaluation for this issue. Please try to set up a clinic appointment as soon as possible. If you ever feel like food get stuck and start to have severe pain in your chest, go to urgent care or an ER. Hope this helps

Question 7

where is white meat and dark meat located on tuna fish and why ?

Accepted Answer

Fiah:  Some fish have strips of dark meat just under the  skin that run along the sides of the fish. The dark meat has higher fat content than white meat.

Question 8

how can i start giving fish to my kids? concerned meat is getting too costly.

Accepted Answer

Just do it: When i lived overseas i was surprised to see a culture where 80% of the protein in the average diet came from the sea. There is a diversity of options & your willingness to work with the kids to find a tasty method of preparing it should be all you need.

Question 9

i once heard that it's very unhealthy to eat fish and meat together? is that true?

Accepted Answer

No: This idea likely originates from Jewish teaching where an ancient rabbi advised against cooking and eating fish and meat together. It was suggested that this might increase susceptibility to a leprosy-like disease. But, in reality, eating these two proteins together has no health implications. Enjoy your Surf N' Turf (reasonable portions with lots of veggies!!) Stay well:)

Question 10

does it ever happen that a person not eat meats and fish and still be 100 % healthy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Vegetarians are very healthy as a rule. I have never considered red meat as a necessary part of one's diet.
