He got any recipes you can drop here?
Just need to know how he does it. Just seems like being active on a vegetarian diet is difficult. Not that it cant be done but got damn, you’d have to constantly be eating.
Good info I ain't touching that shit.

I hear you. I give him credit for the dietary adherence for a quarter century already. He doesn’t have any recipes offhand. He more so just wings it with familiar ingredients. I got better about that this past year. Bought more chicken and ground beef and made big
batches of chili and soup during the colder months. We were liking that at home. He lives near Alberta. We’re out in BC.
Another perk is getting some meals free at work. Helps save on grocery bills, being able to eat lighter when at home.

My wife likes them but I'm trying to talk her out of eating them so much. To be honest I tried one and it didnt taste bad at all but that's the last time I will ever eat it. Don't trust em.
Vegan burger recipes to make at home
Jackfruit burger (pull pork substitute)

I tried the beyond burger & it tastes good but when my girl warned me about the sodium in it I took a step back. Plus that shit will had my kitchen & urine smelling like cat food for a solid day. Not trying to tell anyone to not eat it but moderation is definitely key
Another recipe

fucking love the beyond meat burger..particularly the A&W burger
sodium content is high though and like any other fast food, its loaded with processed ingredients so moderation is key.
my go to "cheat" meal nowadays is the beyond meat burger in a lettuce wrap (instead of a bun) and some sweet potato fries...
gives me a lil more options once in awhile since I'm pescetarian and haven't eaten meat for 7 years now. Shit is way better than old school "Veggie" patties that were primarily soy based.
still rather go with black bean based veggie patties when we make them at home or eat at restaurants..

WOW...
salute fam
Any advice on how to even START that and keep it up.
And is the WHOLE family eating like that?
It amazes me to hear meat eaters rail against plant based foods when cattle and fowl eat nothing but plants and plant bi-products. Maybe they know something we don't.
As a vegetarian for decades when asked why I am my response is always "I have nothing against meat itself; my beef with it (pun intended) is what is done to it by meat and poultry packers who inject their products with steroids, growth hormones and other substances proven to be detrimental to human health".

Isn’t the point of the Beyond Burger and meatless substitutions, the fact Red Meat causes a rise in cancer by 21%??? Yes it may have a ton of sodium and fat but you don’t get that trigger that fucks with your cells like red meat. THAT is what makes it a better alternative. I haven’t eaten beef in 5 months now. I feel so much better. Also a Beyond burger is good when cooked right. Wheat bread, Avocado, thousand Island tomato and red pinion is the god damn shit.

I am NOT vegetarian but I am REALLY making a serious effort to eat HEALTHIER overall my family included...
I don't like this backlash to a meat alternative.
OF COURSE we need FACTS and we do NOT want people (sheeple) thinking oh PERFECT I can eat this EVER DAY and be fine.
Because unfortunately... that is the society we live in
But I think its a positive alternative and healthy
but like ANYTHING?
MODERATION and BALANCED DIET is key no matter what you eat.
u found my favorite VEGAN chef in the UK, shawty is a looker and half ! str8 wifey
aint eaten meat since high school days, dad raised us with ITAL diet, but u know high school days out with friends acting up get hungry at nite ! haha! but forreal u can do it, just start slowly and eat things u really enjoy for starters , im mostly pescatarian these days not full vegan or vegetarian but id go days or a week sometimes b4 i eat any fish now and its normal, i dont even think too hard about it anymore
if anyone actually read the wrappers on that shyt they would realize the truth
i stopped eating that bullshyt years ago....you better off just eating lean cuts of meat than that overly processed nonsense

Processed food ain't shit
Good discussion, everyone. Bumped for the weekend.
Thanks brotha
Man I used to love meat, burgers, steaks, grilled chicken etc. I boxed, played football, powerlifted and had the mindset that I need meat for protein and could never fathom not eating meat. But I made the decision to cut it for health reasons, felt much better once I stopped and never looked back. My wife decided to eat the same way too just for support and because she said she didn't wanna be all up in my face eating a hamburger while I'm staying away from meat-- she'll have some oxtail or jerk every once in a blue moon on her own. but we both identify as pescetarians...if we have kids we will feed them a balanced diet and eat what we eat until they can cook for their damn selves lol.
For me it wasn't too hard since my diet was already pretty clean and I would go on a fast every six weeks. But for somebody wanting to start that diet, I would recommend to just start small at first, try having one meatless meal in the week, then eventually once a day...see how you feel, and gradually incorporating more meals. plan ahead for exactly how long you wanna follow the diet for and know what you are gonna eat...eventually it will get easier and become second nature.
of course he is gonna say that tho because whole foods has more money invested in livestock meat...
they need that grass fed beef to sell bruh

FACTS
The Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth
I remember you making the post about giving up meat, glad that you staying consistent and feeling good.
Yeah man, Pops raised y'all right...I had some uncles and Aunts that were rastas and they showed me a lot of meatless alternatives and schooled me on the importance of greens and the uncleanliness of pork etc.
Most of our friends and family are health concious and easily accomodate us when we come over for dinner or choose restaurants to meet up . Diet is second nature to me now, and I'm in better shape, maintained my strength, muscle, lost fat and feel more energized.
appreciated fam
Do you think Amazon is going to make a play to buy Costco next year?
Wait how this fool making a statement about this but zero statement about

YouTube is your friend... Shitload of recipes and different styles of cooking... People don't realize you can cook a chicken over 1000 ways same with fish etc... Juss pick a meat or two you like ...like bird and seafood than learn a bunch of recipes for each 1.. You could literally eat a diff dish each day for over a yr without eating the same thing twice... That comes in handy if you or your wife know how to cook... If ya don't well juss find certain things ya like and eat more of it... Since Dec I prob ate beef prob 10 times (that number is that high cause of summer bbqs) and prob pork 5 times outside of that bird and seafood...I'm a carnivore never giving up meat but I can stop eating certain meats like beef/pork or eat it on rare occasions... I know ever since I cut down my beef intake any time I consume it , it immediately runs through me within 2 hrs or less
Don’t eat pork but I noticed that about beef too. It’s real hard on the body and poisonous ☠️ but I’ve been craving it so I got some ribeyes
Man I took my mom's out for her bday to carmines last month... Ate half a fucking meatball that joint literally sent the od gas bubble to my stomach.. Less than an hr departing from her I was in the bathroom getting rid of it... Beef goes through me now... I think the only thing that hasn't made me go off yet is oxtails(but than again I only had like 3 pieces)Don’t eat pork but I noticed that about beef too.
