Climbers and Diet - Any Vegetarians out there? 4-May-2004 At 11:08:48 AM yama

Message

I have been a vego for 15 years. To me vegetarian means, no sea food, no eggs, no red meat etc... (some people say fish is ok -i do not).

I find that if i do not make an effort to eat a balanced diet my physical activates suffer. Im not talking about eating crap and then climbing one day on the weekend, but regular climbing or other exercise. Go and see a specialist and find out exactly how much protein etc you need. It could be as simple as having a soy protein shake a day (on top of what ever you normally have).

As for the meat eaters vs vegetarian argument its a bit childish. People make choices and stick to them (or dont). If a vego converts a meat eater or vice versa who cares ?
