*noms on bacon*
I'm not on a strict eating commitment, but I only eat chicken and fish, because I don't like the taste of beef or pork, unless it's bacon. I mean yeah, I eat tacos every once in a while, but if given the choice I'd choose chicken every time.
Which brings me to the point of people that are vegetarians because they hate how animals are treated, then they go eating seafood. x__o A person I know does that, and it bothers me SOOOO much. I hope you aren't one of them Sango. xD But if you are, you're an exception to my hatred.

XD No one said they're bad, I'm talking about weight loss here. It's easier to just go into a low-carb diet, so that your body needs to burn the fat from your own body instead of using the energy provided by the food.
Actually Prince, just read the links. They're not about building muscle, it's just the name of the website. Those links are about cutting fat. I don't think I can say it simpler than "your body uses fat instead of the carbs in your vegetables as energy" XP
Edit: I've seen more fat vegetarians than skinny ones actually.

Okay all of you are also younger than me im pretty sure... im sure alot of you have the metabolism to eat what you want and get away with it.
I cant. And im not going veggie solely cause of how the animals are treated.. its more of what i should be putting in my body vs what i have been. Obviously what ive been doing hasnt been working.
Most other cultures have diets that are heavy in veggies, or fruit or whole grains. unlike America which is mostly centered around EAT MEAT.. and america has the highest rates of obesity...
where most asian, european and latino countries.. i mean.. they have lower rates of obesity. cant argue that logic. but enuff said. thats what im doing.. ill post pictures of myself when ive dropped the weight and look FABULOUS! -gay voice-

@Osaka: Yeah! I'm not alone. And... we have a boat! XD
Actually, the two tests in one day is what I hated most about high school. For some aweful reason our school scheduled our finals as 2 per day, 3 days in a row. It was terrible. I still have nightmares. u.u
@Prince: It is that time of year isn't it? I'm on my weight losing drive too! I have 20 lbs to go... ^.^ I wish you luck on your quest. Lord knows I need it! XD

XD Anyways.. like i said. detox, the veggie and if it becomes a way of life.. so be it. If i end up incorporating organic chicken and fish back into the diet a few times a week then so be it.

Doesn't matter. xD I still really, really don't get it. Even if they may not feel pain, it's still stupid how you're a 'vegetarian' and still eat fish.
Another complaint of mine is why people who choose to be vegetarians who eat fake meat. This one I get, because you 'miss' it or something, but why be a vegetarian if you're not willing to completely give up meat, even if the fake ones are made of beans or something.
EDIT: Also, they beat fish to death in Asia. o.o I'VE SEEN IT WITH ME OWN EYES. They get a pole and smash it's brains. >o> Just wanted to say that.

Red meat will kill you.
If you look at Japan, which was pretty isolated from the rest of the world until the 20th century (sure, the Portuguese got in there pretty early, and it's thanks to them that Japan has its fried foods nom nom), their obesity rates shot up and their health decreased when they started eating more beef. Americans do eat a large amount of meat, and they don't balance it with vegetables or healthy grains (white bread doesn't count).
I disagree that just switching to a vegetarian diet is the best way to get "healthy". A lot of vegetarians actually suffer from certain deficiencies, like protein or iron, because they're not doing it the correct way. Actually, fish and chicken are incredibly good for you.
The point is balance. Vegetables won't fix your problems, but they'll certainly help, and you still need to supplement other areas as well. Make sure you research it thoroughly! =3

@Serend: You will?! Yay! I have a bona fide stalker again. I feel so luffed! <3
@Prince: Thank you. >w< And I know how you feel. I actually lost some of it last year. And then gained it back again and yeah... going to lose it and keep it off. I have until June. That's our family reunion... but more importantly I'm on a cruise after that and I need to be comfortable in a bikini! XD

@ Peri I mean yeah there are empty carbs.. like white bread, etc. But im not eating those as it is. Complex, whole grain, or 12-14 grain bread, etc is brain food.
@ Loli i know that and agree with alot of that. Thats why i said its more of a temporary thing. And were just trading out Veggie protein for meat protein we arent getting rid of it. also the protein and iron is in alot of fruits and veggies and nuts and seeds. And yes Red meat i cut out awhile ago. But still not helping.
I mean right Serend? See imma side with her. -draws line in sand-
you ppl stay there. Im over here with serend for now. XD Anji can have visitation rights.
@ Anji yeah i figured same with me.. id like it to be like may or middle may actually but we will see. ^^

I haven't been swimming for a few years. :V I look anorexic cause I have a thyroid problem, even though I'm a total pig when it comes to eating. My doctor's like, 'if you want to gain weight, eat tons of fried food.' Yes, my doctor's trying to kill me. xD So yeah. Which is also why I hate summer and summer clothes. I wear a jacket every single day. xD

Just be careful about portion control, Prince. Nuts and the like tend to have a lot of fat. D= -learned that the hard way-
But I have to admire you, for be willing to change your diet. :> I tried to switch to gluten free for a while last year, it did not work out well at all. D'= But that's because gluten free food is disgusting. :>
