I used to be a vegetarian. I wasn't very healthy on the diet and had to
start eating meat after about 10 months. I understood and carefully
practiced food combining while a vegetarian, but nothing I tried seemed to
work. I was an endurance athlete and noticed a vast improvement in my
performance after starting to eat meat. I've added about 15 pounds of lean
body mass since I stopped being a vegetarian (about 9 years ago). I hope
your friend will stick with the diet. Best of luck to her.

Subject: [P-F] Vegetarian Friend Now Paleo


Not only has my vegetarian friend gone paleo, ordered Neanderthin, and
changed her outlook on eating meat, but she's talked her husband into trying
paleo too.  In fact, she is the one cooking the Thanksgiving turkey this
year!

If anyone on the list was a former vegetarian and would like to drop her a
note of encouragement, I'd be happy for forward it on.  Sharon is not
overweight, but is an experienced dressage rider and wants optimum
performance from herself as well as her horse.  I did not ask her permission
to post her E-mail address, so if you want to send her a note, please send
it to me and I'll forward it on to her E-mail.

Thanks in advance for helping Sharon and her husband (in the, "What??? No
potatoes??" phase).
