VictorVegan Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Just saying howdy. I'm an omnivore who's recently decided to give the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle a fair chance. I lift weights three or four days per week, with strength and hypertrophy as the primary goals (yeah, I know, how original... 'I lift weights to get big and strong' ... who've thought?) I've never been much into eating red meat (I finally listened to my body and I don't digest it well), but chicken and pork were fairly common staples in my diet. For the last couple of weeks, I've been lacto-ovo vegetarian with no real problems. I'm considering a transition to full vegan in another few weeks. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

robert Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Welcome to our group! I love your screen name and I love the quote that you have on your signature as well! Awesome stuff! Thanks for being part of the group. Check out the nutrition section and bodybuilding section to see what some of us are eating. Some eat better than others, some eat more than others, some have more serious goals and have made more serious progress, etc. just like any community of individuals. All the best and welcome aboard!

HCPinGviini Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hope I didn't scare you in the "define vegan/vegetarian"-thread. Welcome to this lovely community of ours and I hope that you'll find the vegetarian or vegan way of life as good as it has made me feel. Feel the magic of the greens flowing in you, warming up your belly and giving you the strength of a thousand omnis! Welcome! I'm glad to have you with us.

beforewisdom Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hi Victor; Congratulations on the change. I've been a vegetarian for 29 years and went vegan 13 years ago. It has been a very positive move for me that has been paying dividends ever since. You might find this intro I wrote as to where to find solid vegan nutrition information helpful viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13710 Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuc Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yo! I just noticed I've been really lazy welcoming new people and even though you've already been here for 4 weeks, I don't think anyone will mind if I welcome you. There are loads of things that might come in mind and you'll save a lot of time and effort by just asking us about vegan nutrition & stuff. Also, please keep us up to date about the state of your "conversion" and good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
