  4. I tore both of mine, my right knee I did about 15 years ago playing football and I did my left one tripping down the stairs in my garden. I've never had surgery on either though so I can't comment on which option to take. I figured high school was over so I won't be playing football again. I've been able to function fine without surgery, in saying that my left knee is taking alot longer to come around then my right one did but I figure that's mostly because I was far more athletic in my younger years.

    Hello everyone, A little background information. I've been watching this site for over a year. I've gone back and forth between vegetarian and meat eater for roughly 3-4 years. I'm the only one in the family who has or wants to go vegetarian/vegan, thus why I seem to have relapses. It's also worth noting, I literally never ate a single vegetable until I was 19 as I was allowed to choose not to eat them. So I still tend to be very picky when it comes to food, more to do with texture then taste. I have been expanding my veggie horizon, but as you can imagine it makes my transition that much harder. For instance, I can't stand the texture of beans. I use to only be able to eat salad as long as it contained chicken to counter the texture although lately I've been finding I can get the same satisfaction with nuts. At any rate, I eat ALOT more veggies then I use to, but I've still got a helluva long way to go. I use to workout alot in my younger years, but I'm a software developer and have worked at home for the last three years so I get very little exercise now. When I use to work at the office (roughly 3 years ago), I'd cycle to work a few times a week (18km each way) which kept my weight down to about 200lbs. But I've since ballooned to roughly 250. I started working out again last week to try to lose some poundage, and felt it was a good time to take another crack at going vegetarian, with the goal to eventually transition to vegan once I can kick the cheese. I'm looking to lose some fat, and gain some muscle. Losing weight being the short term goal (< 6 months). My biggest problem is forgetting to eat, its not uncommon for me to work for 10-12 hrs and forget to eat until 7-8pm. So I've now setup alarms to remind me to eat at intervals. Pre-vegetarian day: Breakfast: 1.5cup Flax Plus and 2cup Light silk (yumm!) or 1cup egg white, 1 cup spinach, 1/4cup onion Lunch: 2 chicken breasts, 2 cups of romaine, with sundried tomato dressing or mustard. Dinner: Spinach, Zucchini soup or spaghetti (with grnd turkey) Snacks: usually comprised of granola bars, fruit or cheese sandwich. ** Achilles heel being Pizza, normally a large thin crust multi-grain with pepperoni which I would then eat on my own over a 2 hr period. *** Every 3rd day or so I'd forget to eat until roughly 2-3pm, sometimes as long as 7-8pm. Over the last week, a typical day looks like: 40min cycling: (60% MHR) Breakfast: 1.5cup Flax Plus, 2cup light silk, 1cup orange juice Snack #1: Orange or granola Lunch: Salad, 1/4cup pine nuts, 1/4cup walnuts Snack #2: Protein shake with water (16oz) Workout (45min) Dinner: Soup I know I need to eat way more protein. Please don't neuter me for still eating cheese, and being a meat eater in the past Anyways, if anyone has any suggestions or criticism feel free to express it.
