Been a vegetarian for two years and lost weight in the beginning, although it was not my reason. I did remain hungry, craving eggs (but eating way to little thing more and two a day is bad) started eating more carbs, So gaining much and grew more in fat than i was ever before, even tough i stopped drinking much alcohol. Bowl movement was a b*tch. Then went back to meat, but was still full on the carbs kept gaining, and now more to animal protein and fat some years back and am slowly recovering feeling better in the gut.
I became a vegetarian because of spiritual reasons, thought eating the fear and frustration of an animal would make life more difficult, and i believed the carbon footprint story.
(not anymore, it's more nuanced and many hidden agenda shit to push control, and we should take into account that a lot of cattle raised eat soy and grains, corn than need lots of water and cleared land. It's not what is normally their feed, so we could learn to farm more with natural habitat)
And i still believe eating animals that have suffered much are harder to digest on different levels, compared to ones that had a life in the sun and ate good food. But believe is a strong thing too, so bless your food even if its junk..Give it some love (Masaru Emoto), think positieve on what you eat.

Anyway. I feel there are places in the world where people fare well on a vegetarian diet, and even ayurveda kitchen recommend bone broth and meat/chicken in certain situations, to gain strength when sick.

An Inuit in the cold eats almost only animal and many from India are a vegetarian. Switch their diets around and both get sick.
I've learned about 'Metabolic Body Types'. It makes sense to me.. I believe we have people thriving who are full on meat eaters, people that can mix it all and vegetarians. And there are those whom live off of Prana. The air and the sunlight. They eat and drink little to nothing. I know of some, they eat occasionally when they feel like it and i find i fascinating and pretty good thing to learn in case of famine. Just like fasting. But it shows that, even if you can give arguments than humans are not meat eaters, like the one that we don't have this the instinct of a dog or cat seeing a bird and running an catch it. We don't see humans rushing to catch a cute squill and chewing its neck.. This argument i found alluring, but we are humans. We crazy different that other species.

Fiat Food is a book I'd recommend, to understand the shaming culture created around eating animals.
