Vegetable fat not the route to a healthy heart, study finds

47. I think it depends on what kind of a vegetarian diet you are on.

You have to eat well - lots of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, lentils. I base my diet on brown rice, beans, lentils and dried peas and yams. Then I try to be sure and eat lots of fruit and vegies every day. Almost no sugar and low salt. Have to cook everything myself. My diet is really simple because I am really not into cooking. But eating this way keeps me feeling good. And drink lots of water.

I also eat eggs and greek yogurt and kefir and cook with butter to give stuff a better flavor.

You can be a vegetarian and eat junk food and be just as overweight and unhealthy as anybody else who eats a bunch of junk.
