I recall a lot of people Seattle TMers back in the late 1970 who ditched vegetarian diets and returned to eating meat and felt better. Of course diet is individual and never shotgun. At the last count I know five long term vegetarians in the TMO who have had to have vitamin B12 injections due to sudden dramatic collapses in health. Some just aren't suited to it it seems. Just eating meat twice a week does loads of good for both the planet and your health if your body is so inclined. I know quite a few people who have never been veggie who say they feel much better for going 5-2, as they call it. I was a strict veggie for decades and never had a problem, but would that have continued? I don't know but when a 55 year old vegan friend of mine was told he had the bones of an 90 year old it was sobering for everyone that knew him..__.___ When one is young the body can tolerate more dietary changes but as you get older not so much. A naturopath showed me in 1972 a simple way to determine if I was becoming anemic which I was just after two weeks of trying a vegetarian diet. Two weeks? No way! I'd skip the rice and dhal and get some quality burgers down you pronto. I lost a lot of weight when I tried veganism but I didn't like the thought of all that dairy in my veggie diet. I needn't have worried as I get regular cholesterol and blood tests at my GP and I appear to be astoundingly healthy, which is odd as I do have a slight predilection for cream cakes and chocolate. Perfect genes I reckon. Or just lucky so far.... When I had my first checking session after learning TM I had no idea what it was going to entail and had come from eating a prime rib BBQ sandwich. Had a great meditation though. Maharshy said that the best food for you was the one that you had a good transcend with afterwards. It's that self-referal thang. Some good wisdom there anyway!
