STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[jkitty]

Only thing worst than a cross fitter is a vegan when it comes to them over explain ing what they do/stand for

 

[Grine]

The Crossfit Love is always spread in this thread.

If it wasn't for Crossfit, my love for Oly would of never came about.

Can't wait for Rio though

Idont have a personal problem with cross fot. And it seems the hype went down for it where people just had to let you know.. only thing im tired of is people dropping the weight in the middle of our little commercial gym doing oly lifts. My only gripe

I ask because my girl is vegetarian and into yoga

She does it because she can't stand the thought of killing an animal and the way they are mistreated at these food farms. Which i get. I understand the sustainable food argument and how the meat industry hurts the environment due to the methane they produce. I do i get it all and think if you want to be vegan or vegetarian or whatever then thats great...but the argument i can't understand is taste....

Needless to say i have been eating a lot more fruits and vege's and meat supplements these days when i eat with her. They are tasty. Those beyond Meat things...the chicken...really not bad. But i am not sure how i feel about all the soy based ingredients and overly processed foods. Like something tells me putting together a ton of plant products through manufacturing has to have some bad side effects.

I wouldn't go full vegan..

try to stick to chicken and fish on weekdays.. and eat healthy then too

but I cut out almost all dairy out of my diet and it has worked wonders.. after I finish my current tub of whey protein, I'm going switch to a plant based protein powder

If you do switch to plant based protein I would recommend you don't get Garden of Life RAW protein 

.

You might as well drink sand.

Could not date a vegetarian /vegan

Dont be mad at humans for evolving and figuring out hey why chase this chicken in the wild when i can just heard them up.

There is no humane way to die for consumption.

The meat/food industry is definitely ****** up and that is the only thing I can agree with the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle about.

It's absolutely horrible how they treat the majority of the animals who are already being bred to die.


That being said, I try to go out my way to support companies who don't use those practices but it is inevitable.


They are developing new technology that will make "fake" meat out of plant based protein that looks, tastes and has the macros of the real thing.


But until then, I'm eating meat just like we have been for thousands of years.

get the 'nutritional shake' to have in the morning (since it has greens too.. and I'm not big on breakfast).. and then get the performance protein for post workout

I was about to comment too.


Funny, i always wondered if the people who complain about animal treatment wpuld even consider hunting for their own food and fixing up their own meat.
(Prolly not)
