@metamorphosis67 Carbs have nothing to do with it. It’s all about the excess calories. 3500 calories = 1 pound of fat. Eat 3500 calories excess, gain 1 pound of fat. Even if you ate 2000 calories a day of JUST carbs, you wouldn’t gain weight, but you would be very sick.
@neopogos You gotta eat a high-protein / low carb diet to be the ideal human weight. There’s no way around that period. There are TONS of fat vegans & vegetarians because they cut out the meat but not the sugars & high carbs. MEAT is the quickest way to a high protein diet but if you have a guilt-trip about killing animals for food & would rather kill more impersonal life-forms like plants HEMP protein is the way to go. No need to hunt for 50 different nuts at the yuppie vegan store.
Very easy: HEMP. Go to hemp USA site & get the 50% protein hemp protein powder 25 pound barrell from Canada & you’re covered for a year. Best non-meat protein around & the most nutritious single plant on the planet. In fact HEMP is a complete food. If you had to you could survive perfectly well on just hemp & water alone. Ants & insects don’t go near it & it doesn’t spoil for a long time stored at room temperature. Nature’s wonder food & that’s why it’s illegal to grow in the dumb-ass USA.
@ahamayoisac Please tell me you don’t think fat is only found in meat/animal products.
Or cholesterol found in vegetable oils (because that which is not meat is a vegetable, right?) is inferior.
Again, what information do you have that the field of human nutrition lacks?
“Why am I arguing with nature”, you ask? Please don’t tell me you think modern meat consumption is in any way natural, or that it’s required by human anatomy, humans being obligate herbivores who are capable of omnivorism.
neopogos, you’re right, oats are a decent source of protein too.
veganonashoestring.blogspot.com
What about oats? I mean horses are the most muscled animals and mainly eat oats.
I am so sick of people telling me i’m not getting the right type of protein even after i explain the amino acids to them they are still ignorant and insist they know what is right. I am really getting ticked. I just want to say I eat soy leave me alone!
Why is there a got milk? commercial in front of this?
@ahamayoisac hahahaha, you make me laugh. Its not the minerals or vitamins, its the quantities of them. Plus some are fat soluble so you can freaking eat as many carrots as you can, till you throw up, but if you don’t consume fat, vitamin B wont be absorbed. Not to mention that cholesterol is found in vegetable base oils in manute quantity, so low that cell renewal rate is 20% of that of a person on a normal human diet. And why are you arguing with nature? Humans are not vegans, cows are.
@ahamayoisac So urm. I asked you to name a nutrient found only in meat, or even only in animal products, and you commented on how the French people live longest and yet aren’t vegan without bothering to explain why you restricted the criteria to being a European nation. Perhaps because those countries with highest percentage of diet consisting of plants as a whole constitute a health argument? Your grandmother and her mom ate meat and lived to be old?! Cool! Now name some nutrients only in meat.
@ahamayoisac It seems that what you’re implying is that all vegan diets are equal. If you only ate french fries, that’d be a vegan diet, but you wouldn’t live past 50. Just as in a non-vegan diet, you need to feed your body nutrients. If you ate only jelly beans, ice cream and steak, you’d die early too, and that’s not a vegan diet. In developing countries where people live on a vegan diet, it’s normally not their diet that kills them, it’s disease, exposure, and lack of food.
Hemp protein powder is awesome…
@eljagg01 for sure just being on a omnivorous diet doesn’t constitute health, its not about meat or w/e its about where that meat came from. Interestingly enough the longest average life expectancy nation in Europe is French. How many of them are vegetarian or vegan, I wonder? Or Mexicans, or Georgians. My great grandmother ate meat, drank wine and smoked all her life, died at the age of 113 from a fall, off a horse. Grandmother (her daughter) at the age of 98. Those are facts.
@eljagg01 There is a huge problem with early loss of sight, rickets, and a whole bunch of other pretty nasty disorders. One of my closest friends is a dietitian with years of experience working for NHS, she would never feed her children or any of her family vegan diet or even vegetarian. Lets hear what nutritionists say on the subject. I’m a scientist and a mathematician, i look at facts and figures to draw conclusions. I don’t know any one who is vegan who looks healthy.
@eljagg01 The only way anyone can live a long and healthy life is if one gets all the vitamins and nutrition. I teach science, i am well aware of what dietary needs a human being needs. In the developed world you people substitute a whole range of required elements by consuming various supplements purchased at health food stores and such, the statistics prove that in countries where people are forced to exist on vegan diet the life expectancy of those individuals is below the age of 50.
Its not just about how many grams per serving, its about how much is absorbed.
@ahamayoisac One, veganism is not vegetarianism. Hence, presenting veganism versus meat-eating is a false dichotomy. And since millions of people are born, live long healthy lives, and die of old age on a vegan or vegetarian diet, it’s fallacious to extrapolate your own personal bad dietary choices as a vegan to veganism itself and the needs of the human body in contradiction to what actual human nutritionists say on the subject.
@BellaTeamJacob The vast majority of vegans are former omnivores who converted because someone said something that resonated with them.
To imply there is no point in speaking out against certain practices or industries or having a critical dialogue about health is simply ignorant.
@ahamayoisac There isn’t a single nutrient found only in animal products, let alone only in meat.
If you find one, you should really let the field of human nutrition know about it, and that a vegan diet is “VERY BAD” for children, since they disagree.
And please tell me you don’t think meat and vegetables are the only foods. No wonder you’re so ignorant about nutrition if you do.
can you complete a incomplete protein with a complete protein or do you have to use incomplete protein …?
are chasews complete protein?
Hemp seed and other hemp products are the best for vegan and vegetarianism!
Meat eaters are clearly getting too much proteins. Consuming less proteins, at least before doing exercise, would be useful for many people, even for some vegans. One day, when I ate less proteins and more carbohydrates, it was very easy to do pull-ups.
Also, meat deficiency causes the same symptoms which amphetamine deficiency does: tiredness, sleepiness, hunger, depression. Though “deficiency” here is more like a slang word which means “dependence”
@ahamayoisac and I used to be 150 pounds when i was 12, i now weigh 130. i’m at a perfect weight, i have a VERY healthy body, and I have plenty of muscle, I’m also very athletic. You should at least see what I look like before you make an outburst like i cut my chances of having a healthy body. AND DON’T YOU EVEN TELL ME WHEN THE HELL I’M GOING TO DIE. That’s for God to decide, NOT YOU. i’m not in critical condition and i’m doing great healthwise. healthy vegetarians typically live longer.
@ahamayoisac I’m 14 now, and i’m a vegetarian, not a vegan.i have been for two years. I’m healthier than i’ve ever been, I talk to my doctor about my diet everytime i see him, which is every six months. he said just last month i was getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals. And actually, yes, you only need 60 grams a day. I researched what nutrients a teen needs daily, and i get plenty, if not more than i have too. It’s not “VERY BAD”. vegetarianism is one of the best decisions ive made
@skaterskill123 you dont need 60 grams you need a lot more than that. You are a child and your body is growing, means your cells are multiplying, all your organs are made of cells. You not only need protein you need fats as well, and not just one type. You have already cut your chances of having healthy body by not taking in meat (it has minerals and vitamins veg doesn’t) dont deny yourself at least some hope of not dying at the age of 40. Vegan diet is VERY BAD for you if you are a child.
