I miss salmon in my mostly raw lifestyle. Help?!
PS: when I say mostly raw, it's because I moved down to incorporate some bread, in response to a very hectic living schedule that didnt always give me time to prepare the things I normally ate. I find that my energy levels stayed the same, if not improved, so I continued on in this way.
Answers:
The other answerer is right, you won't be a vegetarian anymore and a peskitarian diet isn't all that healthy anyway. Rotting flesh cannot be any healthier than anything else. You are probably craving Omega 3's which can be found in these things:
vegetarian omega-3:
Canola oil
English walnuts
Flax oil*
Flax seed (ground)*
Hemp beverages (hemp "milk")
Hemp oil*
Hemp seed / hemp nut (ground)*
Olive oil
Leafy green vegetables (small amounts, but a good omega-3 to omega-6 ratio)
Pumpkin seeds
Soybeans
Soybean oil
Supplements
BTW TF is just jealous that he doesn't have a hot lady like you and your dietary hygiene intimidates him. I'm more than certain there are victims of crime and poverty who are still concerned about skin health.
Look at his question:
Vegan for compassion
Salmon is very good for you and has Omega 3's which can help prevent wrinkles, it helps your skin retain water, and it has good protein. Eating salmon will not reduce the benefits you have found with your mostly raw diet, it will add to your benefits.
And agreed, I love salmon - especially sushi or grilled.
I'm not an expert in this, but to say, I love salmon sushi/sashimi so if you buy good quality salmon, there's NO reason why you shouldn't be able to eat it raw.
OR
You could "cook" it using lemon or lime juice (dice the salmon and add juice for an hr or 2 so it will literally be cooked by the acid.
Good luck
You would not be a vegetarian if you started eating fish but if you only went veggie for health reasons and want to eat fish again then give it a try and see how you feel after a couple of weeks.
I love salmon.I think you could add it back in your diet with out a problem. Perhaps some sushi. You might even want to give tuna a try as sushi, it's really good , mild flavor like salmon.
can you try it raw? like sushi or something? i'm not sure if that would make a difference in your condition.
There are so many great answers already to your question. I just want to reach out and give my experience and support. I'm also a raw eater. - Not 100%. More like 75%. Fish is an absolute in my diet because of the wonderful benefits of the omegas.
Your progress will not be hindered by eating Salmon when you crave it. You'll be able to maintain a harmonious balance that is good for you and you alone according to your own body, preferences and pleasures. How about you start out with one serving, and wait a couple of weeks to see how your body fares?
I might try the vegetarian omega-3 sources that someone else mentioned before me, to see if it really is omega-3's you're craving. However, since you're already on what sounds like a very healthy (mostly) raw diet, you probably are eating those anyway. So I would try eating some salmon sushi first, or doing the "cooking" method someone described. You could also google ways to eat fish raw safely and tastefully, or something like that. I don't think it would be the best idea to suddenly start eating a lot of cooked fish.
Salmon is included in the list of top ten most beneficial foods by Yahoo itself. There are many sites and studies that will show salmon as one of the most nutrient rich foods you can have. (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article…
here are two other articles for it too:
http://www.webmd.com/diet/guide/10-every…
http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-foods-for-… (this link lists salmon, tuna and herring)
Knowing that, you can decide if eating salmon fits in with what you listed as "wonderful benefits" of your diet. No one can decide for you.
i was vegetarian by choice but still ate fish.. or any related fish stuff... they are healthy proteins and low calories.. but go slowly if you bring in it back... to make your body re-adjust
