    What are your motivations to become vegetarian?

    There are certain vitamins that you can only get from meat which may lead to deficiencies - not eating meat also causes hormonal disturbances.
    Positive of vegetarianism is a lower risk of bowel cancer.
    You only need red meat 3-5 times a week (the size of your palm), white meat around 1 time a week. Us blokes need red meat especially for maintaining testosterone production.

    What your ancestors ate hundreds of years ago is also a great guideline for your own diet.

    Whatever you do, eat what your body digests well, and avoid processed food.
    Ok, thanks.

    Dr. D'Adamo also tells me to avoid potatoes, although I'm German and they are a staple over here, I have them almost every day and I never had any trouble digesting them, despite my blood type.
    Interestingly, you guys have a lot of vegetarians there in Germany, what do you think about them?
    Here in Southern Cone, vegetarians are not so common, meat culture is big.

    If you want to. But in case you do make this choice of eliminating meat from your diet, it's important to make it an informed choice. Try to research as much as you can about alternative sources of nutrients that are usually sourced from meat. One thing I'd certainly recommend, is getting a routine blood test (iron, vitamin and mineral levels) done at least once a year, to keep an eye on any possible resulting deficiency that should be supplemented.

    Well, i definitely will not be totally vegetarian, just want to eat less meat.
    I am also thinking of doing fasting for some days.

    I am not a fan of vegatarianism and veganism. Not because I am a fanatic meat eater, I eat meat with moderation. I think a balanced, omnivore diet is the best. Phsyical excersise is important too, personally I like steady state cardio.
