Chef..
You talk about how much I am losing out from the health benefits from eating meat, but at the same time a vegetarian diet provides a wide range of health benefits.
Research shows that vegetarians suffer less from many of the dieases associated with the typical Western diet, including obesity, coronary heart disease, hypertension, type II diabetes, diet-related cancers, diverticular disease, constipation and gall stones.
A typical vegetarian diet reflects most of the dietary recommendations for healthy eating, being low in saturated fat and high in fibre, complex carbohydrates, and fresh fruit and vegetables.
So it has good and bad points. I acknowledge the fact that it is not ideal for muscle building but I remain confident that I will get substantial gain with a good diet (which I will continue to correct) and training.
As to all the pH stuff...**WHOOSH** over my head :confused:
