I come from a family of diabetics which made me decide to live healthy early on. Last month I decided to turn vegetarian. The transition is not easy. Below are the things you can expect when you do decide to transition. Other people recommend that anyone who is transitioning should take it slowly by cutting down meat consumption in small portions to avoid inconvenience but I recommend that you do a cold turkey. The adjustment may be drastic but it is faster. In less than a week, you are guaranteed to be 100% free of meat.
Dieticians will take into account your lifestyle, weight, daily activities, and of course, medical condition so as to give you a diet that will really provide you with enough vitamins and nutrients. What you will find below is just a guide.
Metabolism is a biochemical process and just like everything else in our body, we can control it. For us to finally drill down the way around it, we must understand it and how it works.
What is Metabolism?
Metabolism, in literal terms, means change from the Greek word metabole. According to Medterms Dictionary, scientifically, it refers to an internal motion in our body that allows us to live. This refers to the activities of our body tissues that make us grow, reproduce, repair damage and respond to external influences. There are two kinds: Anabolism and Catabolism.
Losing Weight
After three weeks, you will lose at least five pounds. It could be more depending on your weight but this is also the right time when you have to make that final decision because this is about the time your body will make the complete transition.
You will also be surprise at how full you feel when you are drinking lots of water. You will not have to eat as often. It really has a lot of benefits and I can go on and on about it. When you have come from a work out, however, I suggest you take something with electrolytes.
