It's mistaken for it basically. That would probably be why the endo is getting worse. It really messes with your thyroid and can cause irreversible damage. Lots of vegans and vegetarians have problems with their estrogen levels because of their very soy heavy diet. I would recommend googling "soy estrogen" or something and read about it. Very interesting, eye-opening stuff! There’s a lot of information out there about how soy messes with the estrogen levels in the body. It’s mistaken for it basically.

Initially, the idea of animal cruelty drove me to veganism for the first 2 years. I later realized that I wasn't getting enough protein and was at risk for megaloblastic anaemia..(I've learnt a lot at med school) Then started taking eggs and dairy. Throughout the first few years of my non-meat life, I was very much involved in animal liberation. I would be...shall I say, on the verge of being a fanatic...and would wear no leather and use no products tested on animals. Of course everyone around me thought I was weird or going through a phase or some sort. But I persisted. But as I progress along in life, the whole animal liberation thing took less a hold on me and through more reading of both pro-vegetarian and pro-meat topics, I wasn't so sure if this whole vegetarian thing was good for me. 8 years down the vegetarian life.....I picked up running and have been running like crazy ever since...(especially since I'm working in a mental institution, running keeps me sane) I started to feel tired easily and was having difficulties keeping my weight down despite the increase in physical activities. And I had terrible cravings for red meat!!!! All I could think about after a long run was sinking my teeth into grilled steak! And finally last year (my 10th year being vegetarian), I gave it up.....for good! There was the guilt factor...I mean, it wasn't easy on the conscience when I started eating meat again. To my surprise I feel a whole lot better. I felt less tired and less cravings for food.... So perhaps not everyone is made for vegetarianism. And I totally understand how you feel!!! .-= Puisan´s last blog ..<a href="http://peeass.blogspot.com/2010/05/more-backtracksborneo-international.html" rel="nofollow">More backtracks.....Borneo International Marathon 2010</a> =-.

I was a vegetarian then, and am now a vegan. I just wanted to comment and say that in all the research I have done (and it has been extensive!), dairy comes up time and again as being problematic or something that they link/suspect/etc. I didn't go vegan for that reason or anything, but thought I would let you know. Obviously you need to do what is right for you and you know your body, though! Anyway, I just discovered your blog today, and wow! What a wonderful resource--thanks so much for all of your posts!

I don't really have a reason not to eat meat; I've just been eliminating from my diet I guess. Thanks for this post- it came at a good time for me. Food for thought!

You're an amazing athlete and I'm looking forward to reading your posts and learning from you (I'm just getting into triathlons).
