Ok here goes. I am just getting into vegetarianism. I know this is a Vegan board but I was hoping that I could still find help and advice here as well. I have a personal trainer who advocates eating a lot of meat for my work outs and I want to lower my carbon foot print so I have decided to go vegetarian. If this is the wrong site, if being Vegan is a requirement, can someone direct me to a site like this for vegetarians? Thanks for your time.

I am a personal trainer at 24 Hour Fitness, and I have been vegan for over 13 years, so feel free to ask me any questions. To stump your current personal trainer, get him talking about how "far superior" whey protein is to any other protein. Then have him logically explain why eating a rotting carcass is needed as well. It doesn't make sense, even from their perspective. Another thought for the uninformed fitness enthusiast: I believe cows naturally eat an all vegan diet. How can you eat a vegan animal and get complete nutrition? Would that not beg the implication that a vegan diet provides all the necessary nutrition?

Thanks guys. SO I guess one of my first questions is what kind of foods should I look at eating? One of the goals is weight loss and that is where another question gets raised that I will address with him today, he is talking extreme dieting, and I am not so sure I want to do something like that. I think I'd rather forgo losing weight quickly and do it slowly so if it takes me a few extra months to lose this 30 pounds I am ok with it. What he is saying we should do is 10 pounds a month. I am not so sure how healthy that is.
