I became a vegetarian out of self interest. Pure self interest. Not for the love of animals or so.

The main reason why I stopped eating meat about three years ago was that my stomach felt so big and blown up after eating meat and it gave an unpleasent restless kind of drive down there. When I stopped that was all over. I felt much better. My sleep at night also improved.
The feeling when you have just had dinner and you feel like you have to start all over again as if you hadn't had anything at all. I guess it has to do with the insuline level, but the feeling was very uncomfortable. I was 49 when I stopped.

I stopped using milk as well. Instead I started to use soy drink. Because soy drink has added vitamine B12 and calcium. B12 is the only real reason why you need meat. All the other nutritions in meat can be found in vegetable products.
The soy drink I use has about 10 times the necessary daily amount of B12 per 100ml but it does not have added vit. D for better absorption by the body of B12.
I use about three to four glasses soy drink a day. That is about 600 to 800ml which is sufficient for my daily need of B12 and calcium.

So soy drink with added B12 and calcium is my key to having a healthy vegetarian diet.
I use it with oats and lemonade for breakfast and I heat it up in the microwave and mix it then with cocoa powder for a hot chocolate drink. If I drink it cold I would drink one after another.

But it did not help to loose weight. Another reason why I became vegetarian was that I wanted to loose weight. It didn't work.
Last September, 2011, things were going out of control. My body weight was getting too high. I have arthrosis in one knee and the other knee started to complain as well. I needed a walking stick to go to the supermarket around the corner.
So something had to change. Desperately.

I decided to stop having cheese on bread.
And that made the difference.
When I stopped with that my hunger prior to the meals got less. It made it easier for me to stop having calorie rich soda's and candy like chocolate bars prior to dinner. It enabled me to have enough on luke warm water from a thermos can between the meals.
So from October 2011 I really started to loose weight at a rate of about 1 kilogram per 10 days or two weeks and it didn't cost me any trouble of fighting feelings of hunger or starvation. I only got drowsy for a short while when my body switched over to the fat reserves.

Milk contains a substance that prohibits my body to switch to my fat reserves. Milk is meant for calves. They have to build up a fat reserve and grow fast. Adult people don't. They are full grown already.

I am so happy that I finally got the key to loosing weight that I would like anybody to know about that.
Of course not everyone's body is the same, but I am sure many people with overweight may have use from this advise: stop using dairy. No more milk, no more cheese, no more products with milk or cheese in it. So also no more pizza's and so if you want to loose weight without hunger.

In a period of about 6 months I lost about 16 kilograms, approx. 40 pounds. My BMI index is now in the green.
One thing is for sure: dairy will only come back by exception like on an occasional pizza.
When I stopped using cheese I also stopped having pyrosis, too much acidity of the stomach. That was also becoming a bit of an annoying part of my life.

I think loosing weight with a dairy free diet could also be done while you still eat meat, but I am not going to try that out.


What does vegetarianism has to do with the Afterlife?

Masters of the spheres of light are all vegetarian. Out of respect and love for the animal. So they eat fruit and vegetables. I understand they have much nicer fruit overthere then we downhere.

Anyway, I could still enjoy very much a nice medium red steak or a very greasy saucage with baked unions and curry sauce. It can water my mouth. But my awareness has grown that an animal should have died for that and that is less pleasant. Even more unpleasant, selfish as I am, my digestion would fall back immediately. Meat takes about three days to be digested and vegetables less then one.

So even though the temptation in my mind and my mouth are still there I will most likely not do it anymore, also because I want to tune up to the spheres of light. Those temptations always fade in less then five or ten minutes.

I'd like to add that I take Vitamin B12 because a vegetarian diet doesn't include this Vitamin. I also take Vitamin D3 because no food contains this Vitamin. It is created when we are in the sun. People with a dark complexion have a harder time creating it. I'm have German and half Spanish, so I have an olive complexion and figure I need D3 more than others.

I eat Quinoa because it has all 8 essential amino acids. It is also gluten free. I eat Tempeh instead of Tofu because Tofu is the white bread of soy products.

With milk I would not have been able to loose 18 kilograms / 40 pounds.

Who wants to increase his or her life extreme?
Staying very hungry all of the time is such a stupid argument.

I eat some cheese that is hormone and antibiotic free.

Regarding weight, I can't speak in kilos.  I'm 6' 1" and 194 pounds. A couple of years ago I was 180. I'm 54 and I really have to watch what I eat or I'll gain weight.

I used to eat cliff bars (a healthy energy bar) and dates. But they have too much sucrose. So I stopped eating them and rely on fruit when it comes to my sweet tooth. This has enabled me to lose a few pounds in a fairly short period of time.

Sucrose is fast metabolizing sugar and quickly leads to fat storage. Fruit (except dates) has fructose which is slower burning. Some would say that when you consume fructose you should consume some fat or fructose will be digested quicker than you can use it.

I guess eating helps my health. At the age of 54 I don't have any significant health issues. But there is more to it than what I eat. I've worked on myself spiritually and let go of psychological issues that caused me to have energetic blocks, and these energetic blocks led to issues such as lower back pain that I no longer have.

I have heard this to be true, as well. That high nutrition, low calorie intake will prolong life. Who really knows? I guess, people aren't an equation, but just people. I could become very annoying and start to question what exactly is life....and is that really life....to be semi-starving....but I won't, ha ha.
