Guest Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hey everyone, I'm new to the veggie world. I started a vegetarian diet about 2 weeks ago. I wasn't too gung ho about telling everyone I was going vegetarian and the few I did I told them I was just trying it out for a while in an effort to lose weight. People were asking me if it was permanent and at first I told everyone no, i'm just trying to lose weight for a now. I have to say after about 2 weeks, I really think I'm gonna stay this way. So far I love it. I'm trying to get back into the gym, I used to be a rat but I've turned into a pudgy used to work out guy. I'm looking forward to getting myself back into lifting and learning more about vegan training from this board! cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks BJJ. I'm trying to get back into BJJ too. Trained a little over the years. Guess Mac Danzig is quite the famous Vegan. Definately shows you can make it in MMA as a Vegan, that guys impressive by any standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJJVegan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I love Brazilian jiu jitsu, so I love to here when someone either trains it or at least somewhat follows it Mac was pretty well known on here, at least to the mma fans. And I think after going on the ultimate fighter his name is def more well known. Just one more example of how someone on a vegan diet can do as well as the carnivores.(if not better ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im Your Man Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Welcome! veganism is the best way to lose weight and with a healthy food. You just need to chose your foods well. There's lots of low calorie foods and even near-zero calorie foods, which you can't find any in animal products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
