Does anyone else get random flares where there's no obvious cause. It's been nearly a week, in the middle it got a bit better and I ate normally for one day but now I'm back to flat lucozade, plain rice and apple sauce
Feeling frustrated
I've been veggie for just over 6 months now. Life's been great. It's greatly improved some of my health issues and I'm happier because of animal welfare and environmental issues (my two reasons for turning vegetarian, the health issues improving is just a bonus)
When I told my family i wasn't going to be eating meat anymore so when I'm home from uni I'll be eating vegetarian (I said I'd cook my own protein and just have the veg and pasta/rice etc) I got some silly comments
The main one was 'you're defying nature'.
I wish at the time I hadn't been so taken aback. I was sick with the flu but if I'd been more spritely I'd have hit back with my usual comments of 'if eating meats so natural why do we need slaughterhouses to murder the animals, predators can kill prey with their paws/teeth why can't we etc' but I just sat there baffled.
Luckily my partners family is all veggie except one of them, so when I'm there there's none of those comments.
What if any comments did you guys get
Hey so the doctors knew I had PCOS since i was 16 (saw it on a scan) but no one decided to tell me till i was nearly 20. So for 4 years ive been blaming myself for my weight even though my food didn't change.
I've been given orlistat by my GP, it's been like 3/4 days now, I'm just wondering how anyone else has done on it.
What was it like coming off? Did your weight maintain or go back up due to hormones?
Did orlistat even work? (I've lost 2lbs so far)
Anything i should know other than the normal warnings
