I’m down 15lbs since end of March. I cut out meat & dairy & basically went Vegan for 30 days. I still have fish & eggs on occasion and am now pretty much a Vegetarian.
I just started hitting the free weights & cardio in the gym the last 2 weeks.
I feel & look lighter, leaner and have more energy. One thing I think many posters have ignored is the rise in meat consumption (fast or not) is directly tied to the rise in obesity:
The rise in meat consumption, particularly pork & diary in various parts of Asia has more to do with rising incomes than the prevalence of Western fast food.
“Beef, it’s what’s for dinner” and lunch, and breakfast…
Meat & dairy consumption, is simply not sustainable for both our waists, health and environment. For eons, we have lived off fruits, vegetables and grains with the occasional grilled animal.[/quote]
What if it’s all been a big-fat lie?
Again, if someone wants to eat Vegan more power to them, I admire their courage to have to eat like that day in and day out. But to suggest it would help or benefit everyone is crap. Good Calories/Bad Calories by Taubes is also an excellent source if you want to see the Govt./Food industry collaboration over the last 50 years.
I personally have way more energy and feel significantly lighter when I’ve avoided carbs for a few days. I also sleep better.
The difference between you and me is that I don’t talk about my way being best for everyone.
