    I need to cut bread from my diet but a ? love a good sandwich, ? love pizza too. ? it, we all gotta die of something.

    Meat ain't your enemy. You might need to slow down on it but cutting it out completely is a ? mission. Especially considering alot of the vegan/vegetarian substitutes are high in salt, other horrible ? and expensive.

    When I was in Shreveport visiting family out there they called it either soda or coke. I don't remember anyone saying "cold drink" unless it was in a sentence followed with "ay, get Koncept a soda/coke!"

    Humans ARE NOT herbivores

    This is the thing I hate about vegetarians. Why are you trying to eat ? that taste like meat?

    As someone that lived the life for a few months, "tastes like meat" is an untrue statement. For most dishes including a meat, its the seasoning and the way it was prepared that you taste/crave more than the meat.

    You ever had a chicken breast or hamburger with no seasoning? Disgusting.

    I quit because i was losing too much weight and people thought i was sick. A veggie based diet,jogging and calisthenics I got down to 152. I never felt better.

    I do fish and chicken now.

    I think he's referring to all the vegetarian/vegan faux meat products you see on the shelves at pretty much every grocery store.

    I'm of the same thought process: If you're calling yourself vegetarian or vegan, there's no reason to seek out ? that's a constant reminder of the meats you used to enjoy. You ain't about that life anymore so why do it? And if you call yourself switching to a vegetarian or vegan diet for health reasons then there's absolutely no reason to eat that ? 'cause they're so heavily processed and laced with chemicals you're better off eating meat anyways.

    Faux meat? You mean vegetable dishes with the seasonings/sauces that we are so used to eating with meat?

    Like buffalo/bbq califlower?
    Or bean based patties used fot veggie burgers?

    It really opened my eyes when i tried things of the sort. I didnt miss the meat at all when i realized it wasnt the meat i was craving, it was the TASTE.

    I'm talking about ? like this:

    morningstar-veggie-burger.jpg

    matter of fact... peep the article I linked this pic from:

    http://www.naturalhealth365.com/Morningstar-Farms-veggie-burgers-1563.html

    A lot of those fake meats have ? that's plain bad for you. MSG, I think, is the top of the list and the companies that make the stuff hide it in plain sight by using alternative names for it.

    https://lifespa.com/sneaky-names-for-msg-check-your-labels/

    There's a couple dozen ingredients you find that are actually hidden sources of the excitotoxin MSG and they're almost always found in fake vegetarian meats.

    Yea i feel that.

    They slip a lot of soy into those products as well. I treat soy like high fructose corn syrup. If its listed in the ingredients im not eating it.

    Yooooooooooooo' I spent a couple years in New Mexico and that ? blew my mind. Might be at a gathering and someone would hold up a can of Sprite, gesture towards it, and ask "do you want a Coke?"

    giphy.gif

    Then, I had different women before bed ask me to "put the light?"

    giphy.gif

    I'm never "putting the light." Not once in my life. Mostly because I have no idea what that means. If that means that we are breaking up or not ? , so be it.

    karen civil just did an interview on the breakfast club talking about how she passed out b/c she was doing the vegan or vegetarian diet...cant remember which one, but anyway, she said it threw off her anemia and she passed out and thought she was gonna die

    if it wasnt for her dog walker coming by to get the dogs and found her, she is certain she was going to die. She said her eyes were open but she couldnt move.

    she said she has gone back to eating meat but has a balance with everything.

    Meat and veggies are the way to go. If anything, cut dough and bread and fruit.

    Fruit? Because of the sugar?

    I would say meat, fruits, and veggies would be enough. I know folks goin crazy blaming sugar for everything under the sun, but failing to remember that the sugars naturally occurring in fruit ain't the same as HFCS.

    It's not just the sugar, but the kind of sugar. The cellulose in veggies is better than the fructose in fruit for the purposes of replenishing muscle glycogen stores and contributing to muscle anabolism.
