Eating is not about morals but survival. Every living thing eats other living things. That's the way it is, it's the food chain, and some are meant and made to eat meat while others aren't. Humans are carnivores by nature based on out teeth, our digestive system etc. However, that's not to say that a human has to eat meat to be healthy or that our modern ways of obtaining our animal protein is humane or right. But we are carnivores and it's up to us to choose to eat ethically raised and slaughtered animals for our meat or to learn to properly eat only non animal products in a way that will be healthy for our bodies needs.

Meat is tasty so if we are not supposed to eat meat, why are animals made of it?

My $.02.

Meat FTW.

Interesting to note that, in his book (either 'The Art of Happiness' or 'The Path to Enlightenment'; I forget but I've read both), the Dalai Lama mentioned that he had been a vegetarian until he had to start eating meat for health reasons after strong recommendations from his doctor.

Edit:  The last one has nothing to do with meat and everything to do with the fact that Shaolin monks are some of the most badass mofos on this planet.  There's a video on youtube somewhere showing aspects of their training regimen.  One clip shows a monk holding two pieces of rope with each rope tied to an adult, male bull.  As the bulls try to run away from the monk in opposite directions, he keeps them from doing so by pulling on the ropes.  I'd love to see someone else try doing that without being ripped apart.

Ah, here it is!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR5jUMolz2o

lol is this thread still going on, vegan invasion ?! preaching veggies the hard way ?

Nutrition is not about compromises, you give your body what it needs, in the best and easiest way, and eating a well balanced meal where you have vegetables, and meat is the best way to go, never abuse one substance over the other. And anyone telling otherwise is telling stupidity.

He didnt gain those muscles in 28 days, he just lost fat so you can see them.

Ripped or not has almost nothing to do with muscles, its mainly about your body fat percentage
You do realize that you should be losing only 250-500g (a bit more, depending on where you get your information from) of weight per week. It really looks like he only lost 2 kg in 28 days.  Roll Eyes

I'd think everthing in moderation is a rule of thumb when it comes to eating meat or anything else.

That's idiotic. It's weight loss from reduced caloric intake. You could do the same on bacon, if you ate little enough. It's just easier to with shit that has so little caloric content.

That's bullshit. Nobody can lose that much weight and get that ripped in a month.
For this it would take months even if you trained 4-5 times a week. Besides it is not healthy to lose a lot of weight quickly either.

It says vegan body-building not vegan weight-loss challenge, and I also said lose weight, but you can't just lose weight and you suddenly become 'ripped', but yes you need to lose the body fat as well.

i think that you need a lot of protien and the protien a i mean is meat. ya you can live without it but in all seriousnous how do you feel after eating a steak. amazing and it taste better than anything what about lobster. its all delicious and ment to be eaten and consumed and enjoyed by us

That's subjective; not everybody feels that good after eating a steak Wink
And there's no predefined meaning in this world, it's silly to say that animals are meant to be eaten.

We are constantly eating each other.  We are stuck in a viscous cycle of negativity.  We can break free from it and love each other instead for energy.

Pictured Above and Interviewed: Rob Bigwood

How did your life and health change after becoming a vegan?

Before starting I weighed 290lbs, and I felt lazy and extremely unhealthy. But now I am 225 lbs and feel like a totally new person. I made a conscious and ethical decision to give up meat and was willing to face the consequences (having no clue at the time what they would be). It is more important to practice what I preach than to worry about being a strong arm wrestler. At first my body did not feel right but it only took a couple of weeks to adjust. Eventually, I began to gain energy and consistently lost weight. I have never felt healthier in my entire life and it has been one of the best decisions I ever made.

What challenges have you faced as an arm wrestler who is vegan?

None, to be perfectly honest.  I still train exactly the same way and have a simple diet so I make sure to get the necessary vitamins, minerals and protein. I am also a huge fan of Vega supplements.

How does the arm wrestling community react to your diet?

Most of the arm wrestlers were shocked. They, like most people, don’t understand how I am that strong without meat, milk, eggs and etc. Most have known me prior to going vegan and really respect my decision.

What do you eat on a typical day?

For breakfast I usually mix oatmeal with sliced almonds, sunflower seeds, ground Flaxseed, raisins and cranberries. Or if I’m feeling lazy I will just eat some healthy cereal with soy milk and a banana.

I work in New York City so I’m pretty spoiled when it comes to finding vegetarian lunch and dinner options. I love Indian, Thai, Mexican and Japanese food. One of my favorite places to eat is Soy and Sake Village. I’m also a huge fan of Gobo, Blossom, and Candle Cafe.

As far as supplements I take liquid Vitamin B-complex, a multivitamin, and Vega protein shakes.  I keep things simple.
