Anyone else heard of this? This thing hit Lubbock yesterday, and they set up shop at a major intersection downtown. There were 2 girls who laid out in lingerie all day under a banner that read "Vegetarians make better lovers", at noon they engaged in a girl on girl make out session. Suprising that they let this happen in Lubbock, a town that arrested the Chippendales for undecent exposure at a night club. :lol:

Don't know how much awareness they raised but as far as I am concerned PETA stands for Please Eat Tasty Animals!

Every vegan I have ever known has been out of shape and pudgy. I guess that's what happens when you eat nothing but carbs all day.

 

People need to understand that, unlike cows, our bodies did not evolve to process carbs efficiently. It evolved to process animal protein, fruits, vegetables, and nuts/berries. Just like all primates. Force your body to eat nothing but carbs and you'll turn into the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

 

All of this to say: give me a meat-eating, athletic woman over a vegan any day :thu:

Uh, fruits and veggies are heavy on carbs. Carbs are necessary for energy in your body, as protein is a poor energy source for your body. Nutritionists suggest that around 60% of your dietary intake should be grains, which are also heavy on carbs.

Interesting... seeing as I've been a vegetarian for 8 years and am in better shape and skinnier that most meat eaters that I know.

The one thing your body is actually capable of living without is carbs.

 

Completely eliminate protein or fat from your diet, and you will eventually die (of course, completely eliminating either is almost impossible unless you're just eating glucose tablets). Eat nothing but protein and fat? You'll live (perhaps longer than many in the US).

 

Find a top athlete that has 60% of their diet as carbs, and I'll give you a cookie :p

 

 

As for all vegans being pudgy or lacking musculature, there is plenty of protein to be had in the vegetable world, it's just repetitive. This guy eats a lot of tofu :D

The FDA has notoriously overinflated the need for carbs as part of the "food pyramid" debacle. For sure, 60% is WAY too much. The FDA and their silly food pyramid is responsible for more death and disease in the developed world than you can imagine.

All well and fine, but the nursing classes I took with the nutritionists and dietitians seem to disagree. Too much protein is dangerous and will kill you by destroying both your kidneys and your liver. Proteins destroy the nephrons of the kidneys. If you would like to determine how much carbs that you need if you are working out, here is your formula:

 

Daily Calories x recommended carbohydrate intake (60 percent)=calories from carb per day

 

To convert to grams, divide the above number by 4.

 

In my case, I am a 220 lb. man, and I need 2,910 calories a day when working out, and must have 402g of carbs per day (which is closer to 55%). This is coming from Men's Health Hard Body Plan (now you may laugh), and the plan was written by Thomas Incledon M.S., R.D. and Peter W.R. Lemon Ph. D (head of research on exercise nutrition at the University of Western Ontario in Canada).

Vegetarian and vegan = not the same thing.

 

 

Yeah I know. I rarely eat any dairy products, or other products from animals (pretty much only when I go out to eat). Actually when I ate more I was bigger and more out of shape. But from your posts I can tell you actually know the point I was going to go on to make... that processed foods are generally bad for you.

My diet is mostly whole grain bread/pasta and foods made from scratch...except fruit preserves. I hate white bread, overly sweet stuff and such. It wasn't even a "health" decision to avoid most processed foods.

Except I didn't say "too much" protein...

I'm going to look askew at any formula that works off of total weight instead of lean body mass, no matter who came up with it.
