How long without eating meat?!


Question: How long without eating meat!?
I started feeling nauseated eating meat at the beginning of September!. I couldn't keep red meat or poultry down, so I gave it up entirely!. At Thanksgiving, I tried a couple of bites of turkey, and while it did remain in my stomach, I felt really nauseated all night!. Since then, I've continued to avoid all red meat and poultry!. Is it normal for someone to go only 3 months without meat and then have trouble digesting it!? I know some of my vegetarian-for-years friends who have tried meat again have been violently ill, but can it really happen that fast!? I'm kind of wondering if it could be psychosomatic, if because I know that at one point I COULDN'T eat meat, that now my brain is afraid to eat it!. I didn't intend to go vegetarian, but it looks like I don't have much of a choice now!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
When you stop eating meat your body loses the enzymes to digest that kind of protein (complex protein)!. I don't know how long it takes for your body to completely lose these enzymes, but I would imagine that if you didn't eat meat for three months then you would have lost the enzymes by then!. If you want to start eating meat again you have to slowly build up these enzymes again!. You would need to introduce meat back into your diet in very small quantities!. I personally have been vegetarian for 18 years!. I would never go back to eating meat, because I do not like how it tases, I don't like eating animals, and I feel healthier by simply not eating meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your liver no longer makes the enzymes needed to digest meat, since they are not needed!. It would take some time to adjust to eating meat again!. Since humans are omnivores, our livers remember how to make the enzymes needed to digest meat!.

I'd suggest you get yourself a vegetarian cookbook and get the Vegetarian Starter Kit from -

It ok, its perfectly normal!. I get it especially from pork!. There is a lot of gross things in meat for your body to digest, and of courses it goes through the process of rotting in your stomache!.

-There has not been a single controlled clinical trial that has produced any reduction in CHD mortality that can honestly be attributed to saturated fat restriction or cholesterol-lowering!?

If you believe fresh red meat and saturated animal fats cause cancer, you have been brainwashed!. If you believe a vegetarian, high-fiber, organic diet of fruits, vegetables and whole grains does not cause cancer, you have been brainwashed!.

In the scientific literature, there are surprisingly few studies done on vegetarian longevity!. Russell Smith, PhD, in his massive review study on heart disease, showed that as animal product consumption increased among some study groups, death rates actually decreased! Such results were not obtained among vegetarian subjects!. For example, in a study published by Burr and Sweetnam in 1982, analysis of mortality data revealed that, although vegetarians had a slightly (!.11%) lower rate of heart disease than non-vegetarians, the all-cause death rate was much higher for vegetarians!.

Many studies prove that eating red meat and natural animal fats while restricting
carbohydrates is not only healthy but will prevent and cure many diseases!.
