I think going full vegan would be tougher but still not as tough as it first appears. I remember back 10 years ago when my brother was a vegetarian, things like veggie burgers were super hit-or-miss and also extremely expensive (I'm talking like $12 for a box of 4 burgers that might taste good or might just dissolve to mush). Nowadays you can find stuff like that everywhere, and it actually tastes decent and is also significantly coming down in cost all the time I'm also a strong believer that you don't have to go full-on vegan to make a difference. Just cutting down the amount you consume by eating vegetarian once or twice a week, can still make a difference over time. |

Re: Am I weird for eating a mostly carnivorous diet?
The biggest thing you miss out on with vegetarian diets is a couple nonessential proteins that help build muscle
So if you don't wanna get swole be a vegan, the reason vegans are healthier than the rest of the population has little to do with what's in their diet and more to do with the fact that they're actually dieting so props for that vegans Personally I'm fortunate to be able to eat pretty much whatever I want without having to worry, but I did recently discover I'm lactose sensitive and haven't drank milk in a year. Don't miss it tbh, I realized it was the source of a nasty aftertaste I would occasionally get that I called "the chicken taste"

Your protein source doesn’t matter - Animal protein is no better than plant proteins (vise versa). The only factor you have to be aware of is the absorption rate. Animal protein just happens to be higher. The problem with protein today is that there is a huge misconception that a person needs a high amount of protein to build muscle in early stages - most people who lift weights or try to build muscle will not even break the intermediate level. A lot of people actually get more than enough protein without even realizing it.

Re: Am I weird for eating a mostly carnivorous diet?
when I was dumb I wanted to "prove vegans wrong" or something so I did a bit of research and I definitely remember a few proteins being completely absent from vegans. Not ones that were necessary by any stretch. I also remember deer meat being a good thing to eat

Re: Am I weird for eating a mostly carnivorous diet?
Clogged arteries and heart disease is associated with the consumption of meat. There really is anything “good” about it except for maybe for the saturated fats that come with the meat (which happens to be a macronutrient essential for building muscle)
But truth be told, you don’t need meat to accomplish that nor to live a healthy lifestyle. Meat is just good. And if I lose 10 years of my life for eating it, I think I’ll be okay with that. |

Plant based diets are also healthy as hell and processed meats are fuckin bad for you. I mostly just eat chicken and fish occasionally and eat the hell out of a bunch of eggs. Maybe one day I'll learn to cut eating out entirely so I quit eating so much dairy from all the butter in everything.

Re: Am I weird for eating a mostly carnivorous diet?
I have been doing better about eating mostly vegetarian since getting a rice cooker. It's easy to make rice, lentils, and quinoa, so I always have a good base to work with. I can start it up, go work out, and have food ready when I come back. I can cook lots of eggs, tofu, and beans to go alongside it without much effort. Rice cookers are really amazing.
Also hummus is a brilliant food. I think in honor of queenashy we should make this thread about cool life strategies to eat less meat, and in particular less ruminants like beef and dairy that destroy the h*ck out of the environment.

We should regress back to a hunter/gatherer society with small clans formed of a few families together
All world problems would be solved

Chickens are cute, but chickens are dumb. Chickens are innocent, but we kill for our pleasure.
Poor chickens.... But when you fry/bake em....damn. Life is so hard. |

Re: Am I weird for eating a mostly carnivorous diet?
It's technically possible to get all your necessary protein from plant matter, but you have to be selective and careful. Protein is also only a small part of why it's good to eat meat. Meat contains an assortment of other nutrients and compounds in a form that is far more absorbable to the body than plant matter.
The bio-industry does raise and slaughter animals quickly and poorly, meaning that nutrients are less accumulated in the meat that you see on store-shelves. But if you were to examine a steak made from an older free-roaming animal, it'll contain a significant amount of useful nutrients like creatine that you can't find in plants. Statistics on this subject are meaningless. You can't compare the general population with a small group of people who are very selective about what they're eating, and expect the latter to not be healthier. Talk to any statistician and even they will admit that their job is mostly deception Last edited by Marik von B; 12-3-2018 at 11:43 PM.. |

Re: Am I weird for eating a mostly carnivorous diet?
I'm eating mostly vegetarian now with chicken and fish like 3 times a week and beef like twice a month. I try not to eat pork anymore. I don't think I'll ever be able to go vegan because I love eggs and cheese too much

eat all the jellyfish you want and get used to it because the ocean's going to be full of them and little else in fifty years. if you eat shellfish you're insane. doubly so if they're from the gulf of mexico.

In addition to absorbing creatine found in the meat, your body also synthesizes creatine from the amino-acids that are in meat. But the mention of creatine was just an example. Last edited by Marik von B; 12-4-2018 at 12:33 AM.. |
