it's only been three years for Clock.
but it feels so much longer.

... I love my meat too much to be entirely a vegetarian.
But I had been having more vegetarian intake than few years ago. I personally think I am making good progress in dieting. aim for healthy not for weight loss.
I don't have weight problem though.

Cora struggles with her weight. Because she likes to cook.

xu; that was Clocks mind set,
be healthier, and go from there,
though Clocks not completely healthy,
Clocks healthier than she was.

wow... Is egg in vegetarian menu?
I am not sure but is there so many recipes for vegetarian food?

My mom told me that some fake meat in vegetarian meal are actually not healthy.

there are some vegetarians that don't eat eggs or dairy,
Clock eats both, sometimes, depending on whats in the house.
and Vegetarian meat isn't exactly healthy, but sometimes
the protein and other things are good.

Clock likes some vegetarian meat, but it's expensive,
so Clock doesn't eat it very often.

I see... well, I don't think I like the notion of fake meat... XD I prefer the juicy meat~ <3

ick,
Clock considered going back to eating meat,
or even just fish, and Clock just can't do it.

I think fish is fine though...
But if you turn into vegetarian for compassionate about living beings then... can't help. XD

I know there are vitamin pills... are there protein pills? XD

that was part of the reason Clock became a vegetarian.
and Clock isn't sure about protein pills,
but there is protein powder you can use.

to eat... or use? *blinks blinks*

Clockclock feels for the animals... <33 *claps*

oh protein powder can be used to make shakes,
which you can drink, and you can put it in certain foods.

oh yeah, Clock definitely feels for the animals.
-hugs her kitties-

Where do they extract protein from?
Won't that be from fish or some other animal?

nope, there are many different types of protein.
Whey, Pea, Soy, stuff like that.

You surely do learn up a lot of food and health stuff...
I am already fainting with how many vitamins there are...

aha yeah,
Clock has to take Vitamin B12, and an Iron Supplement as well.

Iron? Iron ore? the metal?
...hmm... now you mention it... I seemed to forget all about iron. O__O
My mom keep chanting vitamin vitamin vitamin...

Iron is quite vital,
it's more in meats.

then how does the supplement pills/whatever extract iron from?

It's also in a few plants, and they may take the actual metal and do something to make it digestible... I had to take iron pills for a short time, my parents decided I wasn't getting enough...

How many nutrients out there that human needs? DX

Too many to name. There are trace elements that they don't even know the benefits of.

Now I am a bit afraid that I would get some 'cancer' for not having enough of what nutrients... DX

Why would...? Some people are just stupid. I use sai because I got it for free and I really like the squarebrush I use. That's about it.



And on the nutrients thing? I wouldn't worry too much unless you have an actual deficiency.
In my case I have to take iron supplements because I cannot eat red meat at all without getting sick. I also have to take far more vitamin D than is healthy for most people as my body doesn't produce it at all, or retain it and with none at all my body collapses. My case is one of the most extreme, I've heard.
For most people it takes a hell of a lot to have an actual deficiency. Vegetarians are the most commonly affected as there are things the body needs that aren't in vegetables in amounts that are usable.

I am pretty picky in my food.
I like snacks, cakes, chocolates,... blahblahblah.
I only eat a few selected type of vegetables... generally lettuce type, carrot, cucumber... those bitter type I won't touch at all.
My mother said I am having malnutrient for lack of vitamin C. So I am now popping vitamin C pill... I treat it like sweets though... on the bottle, recommended 2 - 4 tablets a day, I popped ten a day. O__O

Aww~ you got it free? *jealous*
That is so sweet of that person.
