You're a vegetarian? Is that a recent development?![]()
Are there any other Vegetarians/Vegans on the board? Anyone have suggestions for losing weight and being healthy as a Vegetarian?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
Since last May, howya doing buddy?

Why'd you choose to be a veg?
I'm doing pretty damn good. I'm in the process of selling my house (it closes next Wednesday) for a very good profit. Plus, the new routine I'm doing has made my upper body explode.
How are you doing? You didn't seem to be doing that well the last time you were here?
Oh, and to answer your thread's question: We had a vegan here once, but she went insane.![]()

No doubt!
I've read up on being a vegetarian, and there doesn't seem to be any long-term benefit from it. It seems that most people that do it either have digestion issues (which are aggravated by hard-to-digest foods like meat) or for ethical reasons. And some guys do because their girlfriends are.
So what sparked the change for you, Rocco?
If you do staying with a veg diet, you're going to need to take certain aminos and vitamins. Sorry, but I can't remember which. There is (at least) one amino that just isn't found in plant foods. Plus, it's hard to get certain other vitamins (and maybe minerals) in plant food. It's not that it can't be done, but you have to eat just the right ones.

I would like to know too...
and hello!!![]()
can I get the short version?
You became a veggie?Wow, I would have never thought you would. The biggest long term effects is lack of protein. That can have long term effect on muscle repair but if you do it right, you shouldn't have a problem.

Hi David. I recently read some stuff about vegans, let me try to find it agin for you.
Me, I like meat, couldn't ever be a vegan myself!
The statue of Liberty no longer reads "Bring us your tired, your hungry, your huddled masses..."
Now she's holding a baseball bat and it reads "Bring It On."
I've noticed that when I eat a lot of vegetables, that my poo turns green. I don't believe this is due to any sort of vitamin deficiency. Is yours always green as well? (being serious here).
