Any vegans or veggies here?

Boiling veggies is just a bad idea in general. Even after chilling they taste bad. I’d rather wok em or steam em.

This, so much, it removes flavor plus ruins nutrition

I’ve been vegetarian/vegan(I go back and forth) for about a year and a half now. I can echo the same sentiments here, overall I feel better and I really don’t have the desire to go back nor do I miss beef and pork much. It’s refreshing to see a positive veggie thread on SRK, without much OMFG HOW DO YOU NOT EAT STEAk!!..kind of shit even though it was there 1st page. I will say without a doubt especially being black, I’d agree I miss chicken the most.

I was shocked too, I expected it to be much worse around here.

I’m vegetarian. I did it once for 3 months and I felt great. Then about 7 months ago I decided to give it a shot for the long haul. You really find out a lot about yourself and what you really like to eat. A lot of the vegetarian and vegan food is actually REALLY good. If any of you live in SoCal and are close to Hollywood, vegan, veggie, or meat eater, I suggest hitting up Veggie Grill next to Amoeba Records. Order their Buffalo Wings and tell me that does not taste the same as boneless wings.

All of that being said, I do miss chicken the most out of any meat.

Yea California is Vegan/Veggie on easy mode. It rocks.

Again, there is no need to meat if you eat eggs, it has everything, essential proteins, vitamin B12, vitamin A etc… meat is useless.

This. Eggs are kinda the perfect animal product in a lot of ways. So compact yet so effective, I used to enjoy them raw with whey-isolate.

No, I am not a veggie or a vegan, but I mostly consume fluids like juice and water, and plant based foods which is mostly fruit, no rice, chicken and fish every once in a while, but I also eat some junk food, but not that much. I’m actually kind of grossed out by any type of meat, including fish. I almost sure I will stop eating all kinds of flesh eventually. I feel like a cannibal while eating meat. I also smoke a lot of weed which repairs the body from the damage of any random crap I would eat every once in a while. Ever since I turned to this type of omnivorous diet, my mind and body has become much healthier and younger looking. My moods are more stable and it seems I have become more intelligent as well. Also, I spend lots of time under the sun. I also noticed that I don’t need to eat as much as I used to, too. It’s like my calorie needs decreased. I also exercise everyday. I also require less sleep during the last couple of years. Four hours of sleep is enough for me. I am 34, but I look, 21.

I’ve noticed little mood stability, then again I’ve never had it lol. Omnivorous diet is A-Ok in my book, but its a lot of work. Vegan is dieting on ez mode imo, since factory farmed meat and contaminated fish is such an issue.

Im not convinced being vegan is the best, but I am certain that its easy to do and there is no evidence that it is inferior to an omnivorous diet. Lean meat with high veggies seems to be the global norm for centenarian populations. Objectively, the human immune system thrives in an alkaline state which is something facilitated by plant consumption. I’m happy to see a lot of ya’ll whether u are into healthy food or deviant diets like my own are indeed concerned with health.
