Any vegetarians on board?

I don't know how this thread got misconstrued, It was my idea to try vegetarianism and she's always been a fan of it, I don't miss the meat that much other than sushi and feel a lot better, lots more energy..

That's because you're probably eating tons more carbs than you usually do. That's the biggest problem with the vegan diet. You're substituting loads of carbs for lean animal protein. The total number of calories you take in often shoots through the roof. (Ever notice how many vegans are fatsos? If eating carbs all day is so good for you, then how come they're not all as skinny as a rail?)

The difficulty in maintaining a healthy vegan diet is cutting out lean animal protein without totally overdosing on empty carbs. Not very easy to do.

don't take that as a personal attack on you or your girl. from what you were posting, it sounded more to me like you were being coersed into doing something you did not want to do.

honestly, if you are looking to be more healthy. try getting more excercise and eating better/ more sensibly. cut back on the processed crap food, most of your fast food (if you do pay attention to what you order, there is some not totally bad for you stuff on every menu), cook more ( you can control what goes into what you are making then), eat FRESH fruit and vegi's VS canned stuff, drink water or if you need something with flavor, juice or iced tea, cut back on the boozing or switch to hard alcohol VS beer (esp mass produced stuff...bud, miller,coors, etc) they use chemicals to speed up the fermenting process that will make you fell crappy when you drink it in excess. once you get in the habit of eating better and excercising, start to adjust your portion sizes to fit your needs. i think you are way better off doing that then completely cutting out meat from your diet. i think you'll be really supprised how much better you feel.

Those pictures make me sad as I pack up my smoker for the Winter. I can't stand the attitude of people who are vege for political reasons but if not eating meat makes you feel healthier then go for it. Besides, if some day we ever cross paths at a bbq, more delicious meat for me.
