ThePractitioner Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Well Hello Everyone!! I am Kevin and I am a former Vegan, now returning to the vegan life style. I will try and keep this intro short and to to the point. After serving 10 years in the military, I had done a pretty good job of destorying my body. I was up to 4 packs of smokes a day and all the beer and coffee I could drink. Shortly, after my honorable discharge I gave up smoking on the advice of my doctor and wife!! I still had a lot of health issues, so I did the vegetarian thing for about a year and then went Vegan. I was a vegan for 3 years before, I went back to eatting SAD. I went back as I was cooking 2 different meals, one for me and one for the family, who had no desire to become a Vegan. I have been off the vegan life style for about a year and let me be the first to say, "I feel like crap and I have gain more weight then I care to admit; well ok I am up to 180 lbs and I am 5 feet 6 inches with a 36 inch wist size." I have decided to go back to the Vegan life style after going back and reading some of my old books, The Strength of Samson and Rich Tucker's Biblical Nutrition (No, I am not going to get all religous on you), which reminded me how much better I felt when I did not eat meat! Needless to say, I went back and blow the dust off some of my books, like simply vegan ( a great cook book by the way), pulled out my old workout rountines and jumped back in with both feet. I was really happy to discover this site!!! I am not much into the body builder look persay, I would much rather have a Clearance Bass look about me, but that is far off. I look forward to reading the post, catching up and being a part of your forum! Just me, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medman Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Glad to hear about your decision. Not too many people get the personal side-by-side comparison of SAD and vegan diets. If they did, I think a lot would make a similar decision to come over to the dark green side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
