She contested against it because sudden abrupt change in my diet could give me ulcer in the long run because i got use to eating large quantities of food. she told me they had an argument about it. fortunately, she's a lot wiser with experience, therefore last night I cooked some little portion of spam and might eat some small amount of rice for breakfast. My grandma actually has the worst ulcer because of her too much fasting and veggie meal.
Anyways, I've actually felt better when eating little ounce of food than going on the veggie diet. the first two meals, i felt full but a bit too much. I guess grandma was upset too when mom came home w/ a fast food spicy chicken w/ pasta, which i ate immediately

Wow, they had an argument over it? I'd say veggies with a little protein is probably ideal . . . but spam is processed salty meat (not the healthiest - but I know it's so good with rice - maybe it's a culture thing - ha ha). But yah, spicy chicken with pasta isn't good for ulcers either (oh but it tastes so good too). Do you get ulcers in the first place?

The real reason why grandma had ulcer in the first place was because she didn't eat three meals a day back then. now, she had no choice but to eat her meal six times a day. no, she just didn't want me to eat the chicken n pasta, which i did . well, i just ate a little of it, rather than keep it storage might as well eat it.

@Letranknight2015 Yah, why let food go to waste in the storage, right? Might as well be in the stomach storage! 
Ah, so Grandma had too much acid in her system that ate away her stomach because it was on empty? Was she stressing out at the time too?

you can always have a cheat day in a week, where you can eat the foods you restricted from your diet. a completely veggie diet can give you glow, but how about the energy and body building that you need to repair any problems?

Hello @ridingbet I've actually started eating small portion of rice and one piece of thin slice of spam. the rice is actually one eight of the cup, the way my grandma eat. Im still eating fruits though.

@Letranknight2015 but having that small portion of rice light also weaken you, that you will not have the energy to do heavy work. May I suggest that you take small frequent feedings like taking snacks at 10AM and at 3PM. I hope you have less fats but more muscles now with the food intake you have.

Oops! It looks like your grandma and mom are standing from different standpoints. 
Though I like vegetable meals, I think having healthy meat is fine as well, but not spicy or fried meat. Hope you and your grandma and mom will find the balance or the better solution for your diet plan.

I realized that I still need to eat meat, rice and other kinds of food. Grandma doesn't realized that if i go total veggie i would sacrifice myself from eating GO and GROW foods, not good. i literally had to go back to the chart to see it./ @kaka135

I think not just ulcer. My mother also doesn't want me to undergo diets. She told me to eat, but not that much. I don't know if I can survive with veggies only. But I love vegetables. I eat a lot, raw veggies or dinengdeng.

@Letranknight2015 yes, it's better to eat a complete set of foods not just veggies.
