Are you vegetarian?

I pose a question to all of my awesome readers; are you vegetarian? 

The world has gone nuts over this new keto diet and to me it seems like nothing more than a new swing on atkins. It is effective but at what cost? Keto is short for ketosis which is what you are putting your body into through this diet which amounts to weightloss and primarily fat. Which again, is absolutely lovely but can also be extremely dangerous. 

 Personally, I have to question any diet that would allow you to chow down on pork rinds but prohibits eating an apple in fear of gaining like 5 lbs. 

I recently had a baby about 4 months ago, and I am currently breastfeeding. So, going on any diet has to be done with caution and care as I am still supporting a whole other life besides mine based upon what I put into my body. 

If you followed my old blog or are friends with me through facebook, you will know that I have always fought with my weight. After I had my daughter about 9 years ago, I was ridiculously fat and had a slew of health problems, almost died cause I attempted to take birthcontrol (and as I found out I am allergic to any form of synthetic birthcontrol, caused my organs to start shutting down and amounted in 4 surgeries back to back to save my life). 

I havent always been fat, at one point I was a junior olympic weightlifting champion and I would absolutely love to get back to that. That being said I have always been a big woman though. I come from a family line of big women. Doesnt mean I have to be sloppy with it or live a life that is unhealthy and miserable. 

I realize for something to stick it needs to be a life style change and not a "diet". I am terrified of weighing any more than I do right now though and am also seriously considering getting bariatric surgery. However, getting a surgery like that opens up a whole other list of problems that could occur, the need to possibly get skin surgery, and I dont want to be skin and bones. My husband wouldnt find me remotely attractive like that and I would probably hate myself more. I need that equal middle ground. I want to be healthy. Not thin. 

So, in my effort to get myself back to where I want to be and honestly just be healthy I am seriously considering being a vegetarian. I eat alot of veg already and feel better when I do but I know I need way more protein and just cause you are vegetarian doesnt mean you are healthy. 

Are any of you vegetarians? Are any of you on Keto? Anyone a nutritionist or avid bodybuilder that wouldnt mind giving me some pointers? Comment below or message =)
