Anyone here Vegan?

It doesn't contain flesh from a living being that once had a respiratory system.

Plants have a respiratory system

While that is "technically" true, you are just trying to stir the pot.

It's a completely different thing and you damn well know it.

I don't eat meat. You do. I'm not the one with the problem with your diet.

But then again, you're the guy who admittedly tips $2 on a $50 tab at restaurants. Good stuff.

It's not "technically" true, it's true. I'm not the one who made up your stupid rule. Apparently you do have a problem, you are the one getting pissy and making up lies...

Lies.

Re: Anyone here Vegan?

Why do you have a problem with people not eating meat? It's like you take a offense to it or something. Why not give the same heat to someone who eats junk food or fast food everyday who's killing themselves?

I don't understand why you are in this thread insulting people who eat this way if you are so against it other than to troll. I'm living proof that this way of eating is healthy and I'm going to stick with it.

Yes, plants have a respiratory system, but it is functionally and evolutionarily distinct from animal respiratory systems. I think a better way for 55 to have put it would be to say that vegans don't eat anything that has lived and has a nervous system.

Like others in this thread, I could never do the vegetarian thing let alone vegan as I love my meat and animal products. However, I eat very little red meat due to borderline high cholesterol and a family history of heart disease. Mostly stick to chicken and turkey.

Been doing a lot of reading/research on cholesterol...

And from what I have gathered, saturated fat and cholesterol levels are poorly correlated with heart health. A lot of the fallacy derived from a guy named Ancel Keys and his poor study which the lipid hypothesis evolved from.

Your body generates its own cholesterol. If you eat more, it makes less. If you eat less cholesterol, it produces more. What it really boils down to is inflammation and HDL levels of your body which is hard to increase if you're not taking in saturated fats.

There has been nothing that can conclusively show that lower cholesterol levels correlate with lower heart diaease. It all boils down to money, as cholesterol medication/statins are a top selling, if not the number 1 selling drug in pharmaceuticals.

I know some vegetarians who eat fish. I understand health wise why you would eat fish but it's not really being a vegetarian.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

They typically go by the term pescatarian.

Re: Anyone here Vegan?

Been eating a vegan diet for about 2 months now after watching a movie called "Forks over Knives" on netflix.

I had high blood pressure/cholesterol and I'm also diabetic. I used to take meds for high blood pressure/cholesterol and no longer take them since they are at healthy levels now. I used to take 3 meds for diabetes, that's been cut down to 1 now.


What is surprising is my energy and strength levels have improved since doing the diet. I thought I couldn't maintain my workouts but I actually do more now than ever before.

Check out Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead on Netflix as well.

I'm not vegan but more power to you on your journey.

Which is, lol, the dumbest thing in the history of things.

People who do this "pescatarian" stuff just have a need to be labeled. "Oh, I'm a pescatarian, I don't eat meat or animals but fish is okay." No, you're just someone who eats fish but doesn't eat other animals. And that's cool. But you're not special. So just stop with the "pescatarian" stuff, LOL.

It is very good. I am actually considering trying a quick week long juice fast just because seeing that made me curious about it.

Love the movie. It was the movie that got me to change my lifestyle. Been doing veggie juice for over a year now

I could never be a vegan. I love meat too much.

Can you take whey protein when doing the vegan lifestyle?
