I'm going with Vegans are nuts

[Lohman446]

Ok, I figured one week (Ok, five days - cause I am surely not doing it on the weekend) of trying to eat a "vegetarian" diet. No meat, no fish. Still figuring in eggs and dairy to be allowed. Just to see what its like.

Its not that bad, not really. And I will appreciate my steak more on Saturday. That being said, those who do it without eggs and dairy - you are nuts. Its not exactly easy without making all your own food as it is. Lunch is a challenge to order, and I have frankly settled on omlettes when I do order lunch.

No pun intended in the title, right?

Tofu! Hummus! Other nasty sht!


I know a few guys that pull the "vegetarianism is a healthier lifestyle" - They're the biggest drunks, chain smokers, drug abusers, and generally unhealthy people i know.

Vegans can be scary - but some of the ones i know are allergic to that **** anyhow.

Then again, alot of kids now a days do the vege /vegan thing to be trendy.

"Lunch? Oh yeah, i had a VEGAN cookie and Some fruit!"

Who cares.

I think it unbalances the diet pretty heavily. Understand I have not taken any real steps to replace the protein I am missing out of a more normal diet and I will tell you that my daily runs take a much heavier toll on my legs (as in I can feel it) longer into the next day.

I like Hummus - but as part of a normal diet, and Tofu is not making it into the diet plan regardless.

All in all its an interesting "experiment" to try, and I doubt that a few days can have any serious impact one way or another.

I know that this has been quoted already, but I've got to give a third run on this quote

nice quote from the comedian John Pinette

There is not any intent to make some political statement with doing it, or even to argue if it is a healthy alternative life style. Factually I will agree with you that our diet is meant to be composed of a blend of meats and vegetables. However, I would point out that we do PROBABLY overindulge in meat in our culture.

That being said I am doing it just to see what it takes . Short term it is annoying at best.

We overindulge in EVERYTHING here in America.

Do you realize how big a portion actually is?

I feel like I would starve to death ifI ate an actual portion controlled meal.

Enjoy your vegan experiment. More meat for the rest of us

Not my cup of tea, but I played DivI athletics with a few vegetarians. They were a minority, but they didn't have any real disadvantage.
