Since /fit/ seems to be full of fat people seeking help, this is a thread for thin people and their stories of how they stay fit.

Me? I'm a vegan for health reasons (no baaawing, I know what I'm doing and if you know health you should know it's completely possible), run 3 miles every other day with weight training twice a week. 6' 1" , 155 lbs.

lol soy protein... I would love to give up meats but they just taste too damn good, especially chicken a la provencal.

Football, athletics, and most importantly my genes.

I really should appreciate more that I spent my entire childhood eating whatever I wanted and still came out of it (now 19) with absolutely no problems weight-wise.
>> Anonymous
OP here, I also had really good genes - ate whatever I wanted and often ate very poorly. Now that I'm 20, I figured I better get a head start on my health before my metabolism caught up with my eating habits so that's why I switched to veganism.

I think it's noble that you are sacrificing your health to protect animals.

I totally agree. I always try to eat a healthy omnivorous diety. Plus running/jogging.

Why don't you just eat a healthy omnivore diet?

Eating plants does not automatically = health.

Also you're fucking skinny faggot for your height you should be atleast 180lb.

For that matter the Eskimos ate 100% protein and lived to old age. Ketosis is an amazing thing.

I try to limit my protein intake to quality protein; but Veganism IMO is more nutty socialist religion then good science. All of the vegetarian cultures I'm aware of let you at least have dairy. It's only modern hippies that insist on no animal products none of the time.

Wait, that's exactly my motivation! I ate whatever I wanted for a long time (fastfood for three years), and all I had was almost a belly. Since I was 20, I figured I'd get a headstart. Although not as arduous as switching to a purely vegan diet, I have stopped eating at fastfoods entirely and only eat potato chips or soda occasionally (when I really, really, crave it). But then I feel really bad afterwards.

I jog 3 miles every other day (more or less), do HIIT every other day as well, and do the Ab Ripper X every other day too. I also do some AbSwing work and play basketball. I still don't have the healthiest diet, but I have had avoided red meat and have a predominantly vegan diet.

142lbs, 5'8" here.

Uh, no? I'm at a healthy weight for my height, if I weighed 180 I would be overweight. My body
type is more of a runner than a football player.

Go be fat somewhere else.

It's gotten a bad rep, I agree with you there. There's not really any reason to eat dairy, so I don't. Not eating it became easier and easier as time progressed and now it would probably give me massive diarrhea, so I stay away.

Haha, I totally understand. I will steal sneak a few potato chips and maybe a soda once every 3 months.

I believe soda and high fructose corn syrup in general to be the #1 reason most americans are overweight. I couldn't believe how many people I saw drinking soda all the time when I stopped drinking it.

Wait. You can hold it for three months? I've just been working out for roughly more than a month and I've had a hard time totally cutting out the chips and soda. It's been VERY decreased, but ... wow.

I like these guilt trips though. I mean, I have the motivation to go out once again tomorrow and try to fuck myself up with HIIT. lol

It's scary that I see HFCS almost everywhere. Again, although I'm not as tough as you, I do try to limit what I eat now, and it's scary how UNHEALTHY I was in the past.

Right now I don't even have breakouts, and I sleep like 4am in the morning at times. A great diet is a great diet is a great diet.

There's no reason not to eat it either. Whey protien is an easy and convenient source of protien particularly if you won't eat meat.

Well, it really allows you to have a reason to avoid other bad foods. If I say I never eat dairy that rules out cakes and cookies and a lot of other unhealthy foods.

Also, it pretty much completely stops me from ever eating out.

Basically what I'm trying to say is it stops me from ever eating unhealthy "convenient" food or food that's just "there" at parties or gatherings.

>>Well, it really allows you to have a reason to avoid other bad foods.

You can avoid eating bad foods just by deciding not to eat them. That said it's sort of boring never to eat them. I make sure to cheat once a week; that provides me with all the will power necessary to avoid cheating the rest of the week.

But then you are controlled by the food.

what kind of psycho babble is that? I get to eat stuff I like once in a while; cause I enjoy it. Next you'll be telling me I should never have sex again because I'll be "controlled by the sex."
Between both extremes lies moderation. Having bad stuff once a week is fun, not damaging to my health; and satisfying.

Because you're saying that you can only have the willpower to get through the week if you eat the bad foods.

You couldn't do it without the bad foods? That's allowing them to dictate your week.

Yeah, well enjoy eating soy 24/7 365. I'll enjoy eating at the Outback once in a while.

I don't eat soy 24/7 365 any more than you eat hamburgers 24/7 365.

either you're lying about your training here, or your veganism isn't exactly as healthy as you think

(probably both)

At first I was understanding why so many people had such a problem with veganism. I think it can be done in a healthy way, although I don't see the point in avoiding things like eggs which don't even require killing and seem to be quite healthy (and delicious).

>>50339
But then I read this. It's not the food asking you to eat, it's your own body. Stuff like that does nothing to convince people you aren't just stupid.

Your body is telling you to eat, and you are telling it "STFU IM DA BOSS." Grats?

For the record, I cheat now and then, but I could resist if I wanted to easily. Depending on the food, I sometimes do.

Now for the weird part. I "communicate" with my body, and use both the feelings I get and the knowledge I have to decide whether or not something is really good to eat. This way, if it's decided not to eat something, then there's no more urge to - it's no longer desirable. I don't need to tell myself "NO." And I don't believe my body is working against me, we share the the same goals :P
