I have respect for vegans but Humans are omnivorous. One needs protein just as much as fiber. Personally I fear I enjoy the taste of meat too much to let it go but I think being a vegan comes down to principle beyond all else.

I always thought this way until I tried a vegan diet. I found that my body responds and recovers better and faster on a vegan diet with moderate-severe weight lifting. The recovery time was quicker and I noticed increased strength and size alot quicker than my normal protein-rich workout diet. This was also while I was 35 years old, not in my 20's like in the past.

I've tried a vegetarian diet. My mother is one. Not for me. How well a diet works also depends on each body type and metabolism. I actually lose weight rapidly through a protein diet. Much faster than with any other sort of diet. And considering I got lots of extra kilograms which I lost quite quickly, let me tell you that after trying many diets, only the protein one worked for me. But going back to basics, I enjoy meat waaay to much to let it go.

Oh me too, I love MEAT, but can do without. The only "meat" that I eat is organic grass fed beef but mostly just eggs, eggs, and more eggs (organic grass-fed). My metabolism is insanely high that I lose weight if i do not eat every three hours. I trained my body when I graduated high school to suit a 6 meal a day routine (that's when I lifted HEAVY) and it gets hungry every two to three hours even 15 years later!

Awesome. Almost makes me wish that I was a little kid again so I can go there.

I too don't know if I could give up meat, but I admire the ones who can.

I simply cannot stand the "WHAT ABOUT PROTEIN" argument when someone is questioning veganism.

That sounds rather exhausting, hehe. Personally I eat as much meat as I eat everything else.

Agreed.

I like just like food, vegan food included. I don't know if I could be vegan for any significant amount of time, but I think I could. I half assed it before and had to quit because I was living with my parents and they didn't feel like buying specific stuff.

It's actually very easy if you commit to it. There are some recipes for some vegan **** that is so delicious it's better than all the bacon in the world.
