[QUOTE="qe5rt, post: 1111529, member: 234442"] After reading and seeing so much about the meat industry the wife and i decided to cut back on meat though not avoid it completely. There are weeks that we don't eat any meat at all and i must say that those weeks i do find myself on the low side quite often. Also actually tried juicing for a couple of weeks just out of sheer curiosity and i must say that i felt like **** for the first couple of days but after that initial phase i dare say i never (not an exaggeration) felt so good in my life. I had so much energy it was ridiculous. I still got some solid food in me though but those were exclusively veggies and fruit. I kept up cycling 4 times a week and a heavy powerlifting routine 3 days a week on this diet. After this my wife and i were hooked on eating less meat and more whole foods (vegetables, fruits, nuts, ...). I kept gaining strength and muscle, i'm generally more energetic and lately i seem to have lost some fat, ... guessing i'm down to 8% bodyfat as my abs and obliques are starting to show. On a personal note i was the anti vegetarian, meat loving, bacon munching person at any BBQ. So if i can change i think anyone can. It wasn't even that hard, i found out how good i felt after a while and i noticed a craving for healthy food and the rest is history. But as said i did not cut meat from my life completely but as a rule when we eat meat we eat a proper piece of meat not a sorry looking hamburger. [/QUOTE]
