Mik Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi guys and gals A few months ago i wrote a few posts bt I've not been around for sometime... So far my diet isnt completely vegan (totally vegetarian though, including fish; how that has ever considered to be vegetarian is beyond me), but I'm hoping to get rid of eggs and milk in my diet... I'm confident that chatting to other vegan athletes will help unfortunately I dont even know any vegans IRL My fitness interests are boxing, which is complemented by running and bodyweight exercises and occasionally weights; and occasionally swimming and badminton... looking forward to chatting to y'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberacion-Igualdad Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hey Mik, welcome to the forum. I'm pretty much a newbie here too. So far my diet isnt completely vegan (totally vegetarian though, including fish; how that has ever considered to be vegetarian is beyond me) I would say that's just because of a very poor knowledge of basic biology and/or what 'vegetarian' means.A few centuries ago, though, it was believed that fishes weren't animals. Hell, even up to know some humans say, not just that fishes don't feel pain, but that they aren't animals! (and never forget that humans ain't animals either... ) but I'm hoping to get rid of eggs and milk in my diet... How come you don't know any other vegans in real life? Where do you live?I live in Chile... yes, Chile, South America, and I know lots of vegans.Well... I'm an animal rights activist, so that might explain why. Aaaanyways. Welcome again! All the best, Samuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, Samuel.Thank you how come i dont know any vegans.....i wish i knew :/ maybe people just arent very nice where i come from I know a few vegetarians though (again, non fish eating ones, in fact personaly i gave up fish before giving up organic and free range meats) I'm from England...britain has an unnacceptably high meat consumption come to think of it....probably only surpassed by the US who's bitch our country has shamelessly become :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see you back on here and let me officially say.....Welcome! Thank you! Vegetarianism...which id like to hone into veganism is really helping me get motivated fitness wise, alot of people have repeated the standard nonsense that you cant be strong blahdiblahdiblah, and I've already proved my friends wrong on that, but I'm really up for getting some elite strength and fitness, the boxing season is over so i have no more fights an I've got about 8 weeks of non boxing training to get some obscene strength and raw stamina...I might have to post some then and now (well in the future) pics, and hope that everyone including myself sees a difference....also i might give intelligent dieting, something i rarely do a go...looking forward...i'll have to check out some of the fat loss articles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkei Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Welcome to the forum. When I first went vegan I only knew two people who were as well. Then they started eating meat again and I didn't meet any other vegans for years. It's tough, but you'll find them. What part of England are you in? I was in London years ago and ate at this place called Mildred's which was one of the only vegan places I could find at the time. Ever been there?

I'm from the north of england, near manchester, ive been to london a few times...cant say i'm acquainted with Mildreds yea it does suck not knowing any vegans (vegetarianism and veganism is also a VERY hot trait in girls IMO) but in time i'm sure i'll find some around...

lobsteriffic Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I don't know any other vegans either. A few vegetarians, but that's about it. It does make things a little more difficult, but that's why places like this forum are so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
