If it isn't for animal activism reasons, why go vegetarian?

(I used to be a vegetarian, I have had never gained so much weight or been as unhealthy)

Even if you want to be vegetarian, why vegan?

And if this is something you really want to do, why care what anyone else says? (especially me! LOL)

If you are having trouble staying LC, I would hazard a guess that you aren't getting enough fat. Instead of meat or meat products, you can get good fats from avocados, coconut oil, and olive oil.
