In regards to eating meat

[lvxseeker]

No one ever regrets increasing their fruit intake.

This is an interesting thread.

I was vegetarian for 5 or so years, and later followed a macrobiotic diet. Now I am an omnivore, but still influenced by my earlier dietary wanderings.

I do tend to weak digestion and a few years ago I went to an alternative practitioner on the recommendation of a friend. He was the kind of practitioner who used an energy machine on acupuncture points. He asked about my diet and after I told him, he said that I was eating too much fruit and vegetables. I said to him that he was going against even the most mainstream ideas about nutrition. Still I followed his suggestion and noticed a significant improvement. High fruit intake isn't for everyone. (Unfortunately because I love fruit).

Now I find out I have high cholesterol. I tend to be a little suspicious of the cholesterol link to cardiovascular problems. There's plenty of information on the internet saying that it is a myth - though I may follow some suggestions to cut down on carbs such as bread and pasta and see what happens. While I would never follow breatharianism, it is interesting to explore the idea of eating as an addiction, and resist eating out of habit rather than need.
