Hello everyone, I believe this is my first post here. I generally do a 16:8 fast and recently became a vegetarian. So I posted in a FB fasting group I'm in about any tips on good, healthy foods to have that can fill me up and provide protein. There were definitely supportive replies, but some were not. One person flat out said that being a vegetarian/vegan is wrong, and someone else felt the need to comment that "you're not anything special" (I wasn't trying to be).

Keto is super popular in that fasting group, and being a carnivore is readily accepted too. So why is the choice to not have meat so controversial? I don't preach about it in any way, it's just a personal choice. Is the fasting community just not supportive of the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle?
