ill go ahead and start the derailment of this thread now...
i recently went veggie based, vegetarian and id say 90ish% vegan. it was two fold... 1 because ive seen a lot of people around me getting sick (cancer) and meat is a known carcinogen, and 2 just a test of self will and control. no, i dont give a damn about the animals. we are on top of the food chain so i think we should be able to eat whatever we want to.
that said, ive been floating around 153 to 156 lbs on average and id like to lean down and float around 150. i havnt been able to do it, and i know it was diet related, i have a tendency to splurge like everyone else.
ive noticed my fat percentage has gone down and im weighing less on the scale since ive shifted my eating. no insane frustrating calorie counting, no weighing my food (both things i had gotten into), just cutting nearly all the garbage out of my diet and eating better.
so yes, i 100% completely agree, people can get lean and stay lean if they really want to.
I feel the same. It's insane how our eating habits are destroying our health (in general). Like in our office, the younger colleagues that are hooked on redbull like energy drinks to get through their working day sitting behind a desk.. unbelievable.
People don't realize there is a crazy amount of great and healthy food out there. Also in the vegan space. Granted, a tad more expensive usually, bit more difficult to get but worth it for your long term health. And w/o your health.. well..
