"Why I stopped eating meat"

[F |Madness| U]

Haha, well I hope that's not what he meant - didn't try to put you down for your poor taste of steak KS

I've just tried Rare through to Well-done and would never choose anything other than (Medium-)Rare

I am not watching based on the video frame alone. There are many people who eat meat who are just as ripped him and probably twice as strong. I don't disregard his methods, but I wouldn't say its even close to the best way.

Can't believe the way he acts, as if cutting out meat makes everything perfect.

I honestly believe, that the "no meat" concept is a placebo effect.

The fact is, we are stating 'meat' in the most unscientific sense - when talking diets, we should be talking, proteins, carbs & fats.
How you obtain your balance diet has little effect on the outcome.

Meats fall in the protein category, a small amount of meat can contain a lot of protein and vitamins, the only issue with meat is the amount of unsaturated fat, although this can be minimised depending on meat and cooking.
Veg proteins however contain little to no fats, but they only offer a low amount of protein - so you need more veg to compensate.

There is no real benefit to not eating meat, this is why almost every (non-vegetarian) athlete will consume meat as a key ingredient, the fittest athletes in the world from Olympic athletes to boxers will consume meat.

I am not arguing his method does not work, my argument is that his method is NOT a better method, just an alternative.

Also, his spirituality has NOTHING to do with physical fitness and makes it obvious that his dropping meat is no more than a personal placebo making himself happier and that in turn improves his lifestyle.

It does seem logical that the chemical balance of the meat could have an effect, e.g. hormones that are present COULD imo affect your mood. not sure how possible that is but it seems possible. I just don't buy that "dead things" makes you feel less "alive".

Unnatural hormones for animal growth are banned EU wide - also, if you buy organic, only healthy animals that are fed organic feed and are never subject to antibiotics.
Also, it is very well documented that Red Meat has a positive effect on mental health - due to the contents of 'quality' meats - as long as it is eaten in moderation - like every other food group.

And finally, ALL exercise releases endorphins - a feel good drug for the brain. If you are exercising and changing your diet, the "happier mood" is more likely to be caused by the exercise.

Eating dead things to feel alive is about as scientific as the existence of God.

Is he showing off that video to us so we see that he's 'buff' without eating meat? I cba watching those videos.

Anyway, some people have the build that you can see their 6-pack much easier, but it means shit. People who don't look so buff can beat you up.
