About 9 months ago I went Vegan. that means no meat, no dairy and if you are being hardcore no sugar either. that really cuts down what you can eat. You eat a lot of fuit, veggies and nuts. Nothing that has sugar in it so no sweets, pop things like that. I sometimes ( about once a month ) will have something with sugar in it like ice cream or a candy bar. It usually makes me sick but I like the taste

There is a misconception about protien. A lot of people think you need 100's of grams of protien in your diet. That is not the case. Between the vegies, nuts, soy milk and some of the whole grain breads I get more than enough protien. If I wanted to pack on muscle I would have to eat more, but for a normal person that goes to the gym 4 times a week and has a normal life I get plenty.

It was the best thing I've ever done in my life. Without counting calories or anything I dropped 65 lbs. I feel better then I can ever remember feeling and have more energy then ever before.

Most people who eat a lot of meat, especially red meat, will have anywhere fomr 4-7 lbs of undigested meat in their stomach and intestines. This clogs you up and hurts digestion. Also most meat that is in the US ( and I would guess many other countries ) is packed full of hormones to help it grow bigger and faster. Those hormones stay in the meat and go into any milk and dairy that may come from those cows and they are not good for you.

As for dairy, milk should not be drank by adults. It's simple cows milk has one reason in this world. It is to take a 50lbs calf and make it a 300 lbs cow as soon as possible. If the cow was meant to contiune on the milk they would nurse forever. same with humans. Mothers nurse the baby to a certian age and then cut them off. Why do you think there are so many people who are lactose intollerant?

But enough of a rant. I like the taste of meat. There are few better things in the world than a nice braut and a cold beer or some nice BBW ribs. But in the end I can live without them if it helps me be healthier in the long run.
