I had a spare tire and a BMI of 27 when I ate meat. I now have a 6 pack and a BMI of 20. You can talk all you want about mankind “needing” to eat meat, heck, the 60 pounds of fat I lost probably would agree with you. They want to make a return.
BTW, I get my b12 from yeast, my protein from the massive amounts of soy shakes I drink and my iron from eating fruits and vegetables. Haven’t touched dead animal flesh in a year and a half and I haven’t been fitter since.
Thinner doesn't mean fitter.
And denying yourself yummy, tasty "dead animal flesh" is not what I call living.
Protein doesn't make you fat. Eating excess fats does, as do other things, like lifestyle.
You can (and many do) become just as fat NOT eating any meat at all. In fact you WILL get fat if you try live on a poor vegan diet without enough carbs and proteins.
But please don't try insult my or anyone elses intelligence by suggesting that you are healthier by not eating meat. It's totaly untrue. And like I said, just because you lost some weight and/or are skinny doesn't in anyway mean you are healthy.
And eating all those beans and processed 'tofu' doesn't make you pleasant to be around either...
Good for you! Dead animal flesh is to be buried, not eaten. I prefer them thrashing about when I chomp, too. Dang necrophages, eating dead animals...it's like they're jackals. ;-)
BTW, I get my b12 from yeast [...]
Please be sure that you're actually getting the B12 in there. Some yeast doesn't provide enough B12, and vegans have suffered from B12 deficiency even with yeast.
At least you're not getting your B12 the Iranian way. ;-)
