Hello,
I am a vegetarian, and have been for the past several years. I love this way of eating, and feel much healthier. I don't eat any sugar, and consider myself relatively healthy.
I have been an avid exerciser all my adult life.
However, I have noticed that over the past couple of years, it has been more difficult, to rid myself of excess bodyfat. Despite alot of cardio. I'm wondering if it might have something to do with all the 'carbs' involved in my diet? Or maybe just an age thing? (I'm 37, with 2 children).
Although, I do consume alot of soy protein, tvp, combine carbs for a complete protein.. etc..I'm sure my protein consumption (i.e. chicken breasts etc) is probably a bit less, than those who workout and watch their diets.
Are there any other vegetarians out there, that workout..and find that the vegetarian diet effects your body in terms of fat, and muscle?
I'd really appreciate your thoughts and opinions. Thank you very much.
