You don't have to eat meat to be strong and healthy...
If you are going to adapt your diet to accommodate your fitness goals, you should consider a vegan diet. A vegan diet is cholesterol free, hormone free and generally less expensive than a meat based one. The idea of eating meat for building muscle mass is such an old and outdated concept. There is so much research that there with scientific proof of this. Being fit and becoming stronger involves challenges. It's a challenge to lift heavy, but you become stronger for it. It's a challenge to change your diet, but you'll be healthier for it.
I'm shocked by the fact that people will work so hard to get their bodies in shape, giving the outward appearance of a strong healthy body and hardly thinking of the long term effects of the things they put in their bodies. Eating meat, taking steroids, hormones, and eating foods with pesticides and other unnatural ingredients are not the way to go. If you are going to improve your body, inside and out, improve your diet and lifestyle at the same time.
Fitness is more than lifting heavy weights and and being physically active, it's a lifestyle. You need to educate yourself to train and eat properly. You learn how your body responds to exercise, and how your body recovers. You learn about the right foods to eat, about the nutrients you need and why you need them. You learn about where your foods come from. You learn about how your foods are handled and what the enviormental and ethical costs are. You realize there are other sources for the nutrition you need, just like there are numerous ways to workout. Learning leads to a sense of compassion. It takes a strong person to take take the steps to avoid the sufferring of others to achieve your goals. But it makes your victories and achievements that much more rewarding. Your beliefs become the driving force, they push you to achieve your goals.
