yea my bookmark toolbar is full of veggie links.
When people say that vegetarians can't be athletes, I mention the former track-and-field athlete Carl Lewis. He was most likely the most successful athlete ever, and he is vegan.
His career spanned from 1979 to 1996, he has nine Olympic gold medals and eight World Championship gold medals and numerous other medals. He has been awarded as the Greatest Athlete and Greatest Olympian of the 20th century.

What are some good vegetarian foods to eat to keep you feeling full?
The problem is, meat's a status thing. It's always been the most expensive food—requiring, as it does, vastly more time and resources to produce than anything else we eat.
So when you suggest to people that they stop eating meat, they often interpret it as a suggestion that they lower their social status. It's a cultural thing that's been bred into many of us without our realizing it.
The first requirement of letting go of the meat habit, then, is to stop caring what other people think of you—to not worry that they'll consider you impoverished, a hippy weirdo, etc. (especially in less progressive areas where being a carnivore is considered "normal"). This is actually a good mental health move, with all kinds of life benefits.

I've been doing the low carb thing to try and get back to a 'functional' weight where I can feel good and exercise easily. I do realize that its not a sustainable diet though where as vegetarian is. That is likely the direction I will go when I get to my first goal weight.
I know what you're saying with the whole "hippie weirdo" and although i'm sure it will be a little difficult at family gatherings when you need to preface with "dont waste your money buying meat" I dont think its super critical to announce to everyone you go out to eat with that you're vegetarian. To me the stigma comes from people like my brother who wont buy a particular bag of almonds because on the label it says it was bagged in a facility that also has milk products... or my other friend that has to preface ordering any food with "i'm a vegetarian, so I think i'll have the..." :rolleyes:
