I've been a vegetarian for ten years, ever since I was a kid. I'm thinking about quitting because I'm unhealthy and constant exercise didn't help at all, but the idea of eating meat's really gross by now. I'm always tired, ate tons of soy and have basically lived off vegetables, eggs and tofurkey.
Anyone have a similar story where they went back to eating meat? Any input would be helpful

I don't want to be a jerk but just to be clear with everyone, this is totally a troll thread with no doubts, but sorry if I am wrong.

OP, honestly in my opinion you sound like the type of person who is constantly trying to replace everything with JUST soy, and then trying to make all that soy into tofu, and then trying to make all that tofu into imitation meats of all sorts and expecting to feel good.

I'm on another level tipsfedora.jpeg (just kidding) I don't try to make my plants look or taste like meat, I actually enjoy them for what they are.

Now, the reason I believe you are not doing so well is because you are not eating a balanced diet, donuts for example are not the way to survive, nutritional value accounted for etc.

you need to go to startpage.com as its a fairly secure search engine and get your privacy settings all nice and set up, and then do a search for what plant foods contain what vitamins, and build your diet around that until you have a balanced diet of fruits/vegetables/nuts/seeds/beans/herbs/spices, and all kinds of good things that account for every vitamin and mineral, + some maca root and spirulina + probiotics for b12

you need diversity, or you will fail, never having known the correct way to do it.

I am Not a doctor. Ask your doctor before doing anything. (don't eat soy that isn't usda organic for the love of all that is holy)

Ex ethical vegan here. I think starting slow helps. I started with pizza, but you can start with something like fish or shrimp or something because they are less smart than mammals.

Why is it people automatically think if a vegan or vegetarian isn't the picture of health that it must automatically be that they need meat in their diet?

See a dietician, maybe get some blood tests done to see if you're deficient in anything, and more likely than not you'll be able to get those nutrients just fine and stay vegetarian.

Maybe for now try cutting out the soy and Tofurky and see if you feel any better. Also try to eat more like the food plate in the image I'm posting. Eat more nutrient dense foods.

I don't eat junk food or candy, I was really into sports for a long time so I always tried to eat healthy, low carb. I usually just stick to stirfrys, eggs/potatoes in the morning, snack on almonds and I eat chili every month or second month. I've never really been able to put on muscle mass or breathe properly, and I'm starting to think the soy's fucking me up a lot, so I cut that out entirely.

It sounds like you need to learn the fundementals of a healthy diet. Main focus should be on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes (beans and lentils). Limit refined foods and eggs/dairy. Eat a big serving of something green every day, preferably with nuts.

Oatmeal and fruit in the morning, beans for lunch, sweet potatoes and steamed kale for dinner, etc. You want a high carbohydrate diet for energy and good health, but you want it to come from healthy foods, not white bread and white rice.

So it sounds like you never really wanted to be vegetarian anyway. So what's stopping you? I used to find meat repulsive after I spent too long as a vegan but now I eat pretty normally, just probably more veggies and vegan stuff than your average meat-eater out of old habits (and because I found some of my favorite dishes in my vegan days).

Maybe start with a soup with a chicken or beef broth. Be aware that rushing too much into it MIGHT upset your stomach and/or digestion, depending on your diet before. Start working more green veggies and steamed veggies into your diet as you go, and have little bits of meat here and there.

I don't think it's natural for humans to completely avoid meat forever. Humans and animals have developed symbiotic relationships no matter what some people will say.

I think a few bites of meat are okay once in a while. After I didn't have meat for a couple weeks, the first few bites of meat I had were SO FUCKING DELICIOUS OMG! But after just a few bites, the incredible richness and fattiness in the meat was enough to satiate my craving.

I see humans' adaption to eating meat as a survival mechanism, opening a new but not ideal food source for when other foods were scarce. Great trait to have, but probably not meant to be had long-term in the diet.

Huh?

Can you provide any evidence that at some time in the distant pass, humans did not eat meat?

My guess is that you'll probably try to bring up monkeys. But the problem with that is that man did not evolve from monkeys. Rather, both evolved from a common ancestor.

Even if the popular misconception that man evolved from monkeys was true, you would still have the problem that many monkeys do eat meat. We are supposed to be closest to chimpanzees and it is well known, at least by people in the field, that chimpanzees do include meat in their diet.

Also, the oldest information that we have on our ancestors diets was that it definitely included meat.

Like it or not, all of the best evidence we have is that the natural state of man is as a meateater.

this is a good point.

the best thing I can recommend is a healthy balanced diet of fruits and vegetables/nuts/seeds/beans/quinoa/lentils etc.

you should do a startpage (search engine) search of what fruits and vegetables contain what vitamins and minerals and then build your diet until it has accounted for all of them.

alot of people don't know that chia seeds, walnuts, flax, hemp, offer huge amounts of omega 3, without all the risks of taking it from a supplement that came from water creatures.

if you want a simple multivitamin, bee pollen + maca root + spirulina contains a massive variety of nutrients that will shock you when you look it up. don't forget to take some probiotics for that b12. in a probiotic you want diversity, not amount. many different types of bacteria and enzymes are better than just A HUNDRED BILLION UNITS of one type of bacteria.

It's always funny to see perfectly normal threads about nutella covered fried chicken wrapped in brown sugar crusted bacon on this board, but then make a thread about soy anything and suddenly everyone is supposedly health-conscious and completely against soy products, under the idea that they'll raise your estrogen levels a bit

The information about soy and phytoestrogens goes back and forth between good, neutral, and bad, but what I don't trust is the fact that flax seeds have the same phytoestrogens in them but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the medical profession who wouldn't recommend adding flax to your diet. Personally I believe that organic flax and organic soy are alright for me, while the majority of the other soy that's gmo, I absolutely can not trust. I have heard everything from gmo soy causing cancer, to organic soy curing cancer, so there is alot of controversy. The reason for the chaos, I believe, is that flax doesn't directly conflict with a powerful industry. Soy, and specifically tofu, as a meat replacement, stirs the bee hive so that the meat industry will spend millions of dollars funding studies for the purpose of discrediting soy. You might say "but soy farmers would surely do what's in their power to push the evidence in the opposite direction," but lucky for the soy farmers, most of their soy goes to feed meat animals, not humans, so they wouldn't give a crap either way, Yet I still believe its important for people who actually like soy to have good healthy sources of it. Entire nations live on soy and they don't seem to be rotting in the streets or turning into women. anything eaten in overabundance will harm you, yet its funny when the people who avoid soy because of phytoestrogen propaganda still drink alcohol, which has been shown to lower testosterone.

you should be very careful about where you get your spirulina, that being said, I don't believe in the term superfoods. compared to a burger from your favorite fast food place, green tea and blueberries are superfoods.

however we shouldn't be calling them superfoods, we should be calling them normal foods and start realizing the trash we are eating when we eat normally.

if you do a search on what vitamins Just spirulina alone contains, or just maca root alone, or just bee pollen alone, you will see that they each completely on their own contain a variety of nutrients and amino acids. look it up.

I was an ethical vegetarian. The reason I went back to meat was because when I obtained more information I concluded that the ethical reasons for my vegetarianism didn't apply. I'm not into the battery farm slaughter of animals. However, the industrial farming that gives us the rest of our food wipes out entire habitats and effectively slaughters just as much.

the conditions I describe don't apply to 100% of all animals, they apply to a huge amount of them though, and of course you can't say that "nice farms" are everywhere either.

I am not telling you to quit meat, thats your choice to make. I just want to make sure people know whats what, or you could simply disagree with me.

do you have the guts to kill your own meat? alot of people go to the store and buy the piece of red stuff, but could you really do it? would you fite a cow irl just so you could get your chicken nuggers?

I like it a little better in coffee drinks, but almond milk is still very good. The consistency is a little different when you froth it, but it's still decent. Soy milk in any sort of cappuccino/latte tastes fucking heinous, I don't know why the combo is even drinkable for many people.

I hate milk alone though, always have. Tastes like shit. I would rather drink almond milk alone without a doubt.

Even the best farms end with this:

Study: Cattle regain consciousness after being stunned, wake up to being skinned and dismembered in slaughterhouses

"...the best slaughter plants under the best conditions average 97% to 98% successful stuns. “Successful” does not mean that these stuns were irreversible or that the animal was killed. The animals were rendered insensible between stunning and death through exsanguination (stun-stick interval). In one study conducted in a controlled slaughterhouse environment, approximately 1.2% of bulls and cull cows returned to sensibility after captive bolt stunning, prior to being hoisted onto the rail. According to another study conducted in abattoirs in the UK, 6.6% of 1284 steers and heifers were stunned poorly; 1.7% of 628 cull cows were stunned poorly; but young bulls appeared to be particularly hard to stun correctly and 53.1% of 32 bulls in the study were stunned poorly.
.....
Given the large numbers of animals that may have to be destroyed, even a low percentage of ineffective kills that lead to animals returning to sensibility is unacceptable from an animal welfare standpoint and undesirable in the context of efficient disease control operations; moreover, the sight of severely wounded animals regaining sensibility, showing coordinated movement, and even attempting to get up would be distressing for onlookers and for personnel who have to restun and kill such animals."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1852607/

Then they'll be branded, castrated, dehorned, taken from their mothers, and most likely sent to a feedlot after a year.

Just because you see them grazing right now doesn't mean that's all that's going on.

Farmers usually try not to abuse animals in public view also. And trust me, with a 1000+ lb animal most farmers like to think don't feel pain like we do, abuse is not uncommon.

I think soy milk is kind of an acquired taste. When I first started drinking it it had a slightly odd taste to it, but I still liked it better than cow's milk actually.

Now, I don't know if I'm just so used to it, or if they've changed the recipes for most soy milks, but it's a very subtle taste to me and I don't even notice a flavor at all really when I drink it in coffee drinks.

I did get one soy milk that was really potent a few months ago though, and have avoided that brand since.

almond milk depending on the brand, or how you make it yourself, can be EXTREMELY creamy and delicious, and tastes alot like milk, but just almondier.

and stop calling them alternatives, almond milk is a THING, not a fall back retreat to something lesser.

>soymilk
>cashew milk

>other nut milks etc.
>rice milk

these things are their own unique thing that all taste different and special on their own. I found the ones that I love (all of them) and its all cool.

even though I loved cow milk I gave it up because they just keep the cows pregnant all the time so they keep making milk and they make the babies into veal. I switched to these other milks that I already liked before also, and I don't feel as if I have settled for something lesser.

if you get the gmo soy (over 90% of all soy in the USA) they mod it and drench it with pesticides and other harmful chemicals. if you EVER eat any soy product (ask your doctor first) and ALWAYS buy it organic because organic doesn't allow the use of genetically modified organisms (gmo's)

from my experience and seeing many other peoples reactions to different soy I can say that in my experience and opinion there are few different categories of people.

>the people that simply don't like soy because they just don't
>the people that are legitimately allergic to it for some reason
>the people who like it.

then in the categories within the people who like it
>the people that eat gmo soy
>the people that eat organic non-gmo soy

I don't have a citation for you because I don't feel like going crazy for an hour searching for all the different things I saw, you can do that if you feel like it or you can take my word for it-

the gmo soy is crazy bad and since it has been modified on the genetic level (in a very irresponsible way) and then loaded with poisons and pesticides, is more likely to cause phytoestrogen related cancers and diseases.


while- the organic soy in its natural form without havening been screwed with can be protective against cancer.

either way you should be very careful and not eat/drink too much because you will start to get titties, so you should quickly ease down until you get back to normal.

Oh yeah, I avoid GMO soy and corn. Preferably everything I ate would be organic but I'm poor and don't have a garden large enough to support myself and big ag is subsidized so it's a lot cheaper unfortunately. Hate that I'm still supporting that industry.

I haven't seen any evidence that soy makes you grow tits. But if it did that'd be pretty okay with me since I'm female.

If that were an issue though I'd probably just eat more mushrooms, since they lower estrogen levels. I actually don't eat soy all that much anyway.

I do really like the hickory smoked Primal Strips though. (They use non-gmo soy.)

most of the time I'm not really bothering anyone, I don't act smug and I don't cause anyone trouble. often times I or someone else makes a thread on /ck/ about a vegan recipe thread or something and all these meat eaters (just kidding) shills and trolls pretending to be meat eaters invade and derail the thread to tell us how wrong we are for Not eating meat.

don't all cows need to get pregnant in order to give milk? so logically even if they were not killing the baby cows, one milk farm of cows giving milk would create a fairly constant stream of new born baby cows, an excess of male cows (where would they go? they don't give milk) and the rest of the female cows even being sent to give milk in other farms would then create more baby cows and so on, eventually there would be just way too many cows. I think that all milk supports veal, unless there is a cow that doesn't need to get preggers to give milk, and no, I wouldn't drink milk from a monsanto cow. they do not do genetic modification responsibly, and I won't drink milk that came from a cow that was given hormone shots to make milk without a baby.
