Rugeley Villa Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Did anyone find, that when they gave up meat they lost body fat? My wife has just made another comment at me that ive lost weight around my stomach, and hips. I weighed myself the other week, and I was 13.5 just like I was when I was eating meat. My appetite is still strong, but I'm eating much better these days in terms of healthier food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red meat in particular has a very high fat content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't, and don't, particularly like it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell your sanctimonious colleague she's talking out her snatch. Quote consumers should be aware poor Bolivians can no longer afford their staple grain [quinoa], due to western demand raising prices * I'm only on about the evangelist types btw, not all vegans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets a bit heavy with data at times but mostly I found it really interesting. Cool to see it from an angle that doesn’t talk about animal cruelty. Animal cruelty is the main reason I’m doing it , but I mean it was great to see a load of other reasons why it’s a good thing to do. Health, economy, environment. Enjoyed it, even though there was some stuff in there I didn’t really agree with. But on the whole it was more reinforcement that I’m doing the right thing (for me) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of going to the docs and doing a cholesterol test and then doing it again in a few weeks. Again that’s not why I’m doing it, but it would be interesting to see the effects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had it down before at the doc but can’t remember what it was. Hopefully they have it on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably just drink it if they like it, and if they don’t like it then they drink something else instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 As also stated in another thread, when your chief complaint is it's too sweet, when it's objectively less sweet than dairy milk with about 2/3 of the sugar, maybe it's just down to the guy that keeps cocking up your drinks putting too much sugar in? I quite like it, but different strokes and all that. Fortunately there's about a dozen alternatives, and there's not a vegan council forcing everyone to drink it.
