Who Said Being a Vegetarian Had to be Boring?

Popular to some people's belief, being a vegetarian does not have to be boring. Comments I have received for being vegetarian are: Why? What can you eat, only vegetables? When people think of vegetarians, they don't realize that there are various types of vegetarians such as: Vegan, Ovo Vegetarian, Lacto Vegetarian, Lacto-ovo Vegetarian, Pollotarian, Flexitarian, Pescatarian, and other forms. Depending on the type of vegetarian you are, you are able to consume some type of meat, seafood, or animal by-products.

Below you will witness that being a Lacto-ovo Vegetarian is definitely not boring. These are dishes I have made by living this lifestyle for 1 year and 3 months now. This choice has led me to losing over 25 lbs.

Let's Get Fit

Lately, I have been with #TeamFitness in shedding these additional 10 lbs. A few months ago, I wanted to lose 20 lbs. Well guys, I am here to tell you that I am 25 lbs lighter than I was before. However, my job is yet from being over. I would like to lose an additional 10 lbs and continue eating healthy and exercising. Becoming a vegetarian in December of 2013 really assisted me in this journey. Although I am a vegetarian, I still have to make sure I am not consuming too much food high in carbohydrates and fat. Being a vegetarian does not mean that I can eat more or all of my selections are going to be healthy. It just means that I am not consuming certain foods. I am what is considered a "Lacto-ovo Vegetarian." This is a person who does not eat any animal byproducts besides dairy and egg products. There are many other types of vegetarians, such as: Lacto vegetarian, ovo vegetarian, flexitarian, pescatarian, vegan, etc. It just depends on your preference.

Today in my effort of getting fit, I went for a walk at a park in New Jersey. Check out my pic here on instam: Walking at the park.  

Make a commitment with me today and join me in my effort to live a more healthy conscious life. You deserve to give health a change.
