We wouldn't eat meat if we weren't meateaters. Vegetarians are following a fad, not their instincts. \nWhat is the Indian word for bad hunter? Vegetarian!

This site has info on both. A vegetarian bodybuilder convinced the governor of CA that you can get everything a bodybuilder needs without meat.\n\nProtein needs 8 essential amino acids. Most fruits and vegetables contain all 8 of them. In fact fruit has everything except in small quatities because it contains so much water. But that water is good for you and non-fattening.\n\nThis site has quotes from governor of CA from his 700 page book, Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding. Maybe it will help you become governor of your state.\n\nhttp://www.phifoundation.org

You can find a ton of vitamin B in red meats and dark leafy greens. So good for you!

You know the guy who invented the all meat diet died out of a heart stroke? Does the doctor look healthy at all. C'mon!\nFruits and vegetables are the easiest to assimilate for the body. It takes 1500 cubic cm of biliar salts to consume a single ounce of meat. \nPlease! change your doctors, go to a nutritionist and save yourself some years of life. Find out obout vegetarianism...

If you ask me your best bet is a balance of the two, everything in moderation. But if I had to pick one I'd go with low calorie, because its much healthier to be eating fruits and vegetables than all meat all the time.

Protein is so important. If you keep your protein within a recommended range it will do great things for you. Lets start from the top. It controls hunger, It slowes down insilin production to slow down sugar cravings and also it protects your muscle. People don't realize that muscle is where fat is absorbed. The more muscle the quicker the weight loss.

Fish has a higher content of iron, especially salmon, which isn't any more expensive than beef. There aren't any beneficial micronutrients that beef has to outwiegh the hormones and antibiotics you are also consuming. Best salmon is always 'wild caught'. \nIf you must eat red meat (cause I know I get those filet mingon cravings) once a week would probably not be too harmful, unless it was tainted with mad cow.\nSorry, didn't know you're a picky eater.

Yes they can. Bill Pearl was vegetarian and he won Mr. Universe 3 times. His famous quote is ""People think that to have big muscles you have to eat meat. It's a persistent and recurring MYTH." . The main idea is it is definetly harder than eating meat, but with persistence and a good program and excellent nutrition, you can do it!\n\nThis site will help you to suggest some alternatives to meat in bodybuilding:\n\nhttp://www.veganbodybuilding.com/

How much & what do you eat everyday?\n\nWell, if you don't eat meat at all, you should eat some for lunch and dinner (but don't just eat meat). \n\nIf you've avoid eating chocolate, eat some. Eating some won't hurt and actually it's good for your health. But don't eat too much though. \n\nsomething like that...

Yes,amino acids are healthy. Amino acids make up proteins, and proteins are essential to build muscle tissue. You can get all of your amino acids from meat, fish, and cheese. Legumes, such as beans and lentils, have incomplete amino acids, so to complete them, just add nuts and seeds.

Peanut butter is healthy for you. It is a protein which puts it in the meat group in the food pyramid. But as with anything too much of something is not good for you.

I think this is highly doubtful.  You don't need to eat animal flesh in order to maintain your body.  You can not only can derive complex carbohydrates and fiber from plant foods, but plenty of protein and fat.\n\nIf what your friend says is true, I would imagine his problem is unrelated to his diet.

I'd say veggie; what could be wrong with eating vegetables and I'm sure that there are other ways to obtain protein\n   - I think meat has been linked to heart disease; matter of fact there was an article about the consumption of red meat on the front page of the Washington Post and the affects it has and how it makes women more prone to a certain kind of cancer but of course they will continue to sell it the same way they still sell milk
