3 Mistakes I Made While Vegetarian

3 mistakes I made while vegetarian & what I learned

When I first started practicing yoga in 1990, Everything changed. I had no idea that this would be the catalyst that set me on an inner journey to finally begin healing the pain that I had stuffed down from a young age.

Sivananda Yoga talks about yoga as a way of life, including adopting a healthy vegetarian diet.

I dove right in, giving up meat over night. I believe that a plant based diet is one of the healthiest ways to eat! However I made a lot of mistakes.

Here are 3 things I learned the hard way.

1. Some body types need way more protein than they can get from a vegetarian diet.

I would get quite upset when people would ask me if I was getting enough protein.

"There's protein in Everything!" I would answer. Yes, but very small amounts in everything often add up to not enough at the end of the day. I was protein deficient, which weakened my body over time.

Protein forms the building blocks for the body. Every cell needs protein, every muscles, nerve, skin, hair, nails, all metabolic processes. It also keeps us full a long time. I was constantly hungry snacking all day long.

Today it's easy to track your food with apps that easily tell you if you're getting enough protein.

2. Sweet cravings increase when there's a lack of protein

Many vegetarians have a. sweet tooth, because of the lack of protein to give them the stamina they need, they're looking for a quick fix to boost their energy up.

Increasing protein, especially at breakfast, decreases sweet cravings.

3. Supplementing your vegetarian diet is Essential

B12 is found in very few foods besides red meat, so all vegans and vegetarians need to supplement with Vitamin B12.

For women who are menstruating, taking an iron supplement can also make a huge difference in keeping iron levels high enough.

When I was vegetarian I would yawn non-stop for 1/2 hour every afternoon.

When I first joined the cycling club in 2006 I had a hard time keeping up. As I started using supplements and vitamins and eating right for my body type gradually my strength and stamina increased.
