LOL. You've never seen my body, so you just have an overactive imagination and I suggest you stop thinking about me so much. The fact is - you know nothing about what I look like.
You forget your own promo material? Im not stalking you or invading your privacy, these are your own photos, these are the publicity shots YOU chose to put out there.
I don't struggle to carry anything. Once again, all I need is to be able to do a two hour performance with a LOT of dancing, night after night. And I can. Easily.
You've said before you have a dancer's body. This is a male dancer:
I have a question, if you dont admire a good physique, or see the benefit of it, or wish you had it, why does the cartoon version of you have pectoral muscles that you obviously lack in real life?
Why chose that image? Why not use an image that shows how skinny and unmuscular you are? You said before you dont want to look like a bodybuilder, that image right there looks like a bodybuilder.
So what does out of shape mean in your world? I have no extra weight on my body.
Youre what is referred to as "skinny fat." You still have some fat, your abs arent out, you store weight under your face.It could be water weight under your chin from high sodium though.
I'm perfectly in shape for health, circulation, and my needs as an individual. If I needed to lift really heavy stuff day after day, then sure, give me some weights to lift. But I don't. I'm a professional songwriter, vocalist, musician and dancer. So every day, my "training" regimen involves, funnily enough, vocal practice, instrument practice, songwriting and dance practice.
That's fine, but your body should always come first and strength is important, especially later in life.
Any consumption of meat or animal by-products puts cholesterol in your body, that over time will clog your veins even on low-level consumption.
There is good cholesterol, and bad cholesterol. Life is about balance. It is also a precursor to Vitamin D, which is one of the most important vitamins in the body. Cholesterol is also the building block for sex hormones, testosterone, costisol and aldosterone (which both regulate blood pressure and stress) and regulate water retention (you have some around your face like I mentioned, no big deal but it's a sign).
I don't want or need that shit in my body.
You dont need any of those? Not even testosterone? Explains a lot, you are pretty feminine...
Any consumption of meat or animal by-products also increases your risk of heart attacks and strokes. These are facts.
LOL you and your "facts." This is total BS. This summarizes it:
http://rawfoodsos.com/2011/01/06/vegetarians-and-heart-disease/
Since so many vegetarian-versus-omnivore studies are comparing a complete lifestyle overhaul (health-savvy vegetarianism) with health indifference (standard “eat-whatever’s-there” omnivorism), it’s pretty hard to find a vegetarian study that can actually isolate the effects of meat. When a vegetarian’s main diet change is avoiding animal flesh rather than emphasizing fresh produce and moving away from refined foods, the health outcomes aren’t much different than those of standard omnivores (except for the added burden of higher homocysteine).
There you go. It's not the lack of meat that improves a vegetarian's health (and they actually generally have higher blood pressure due to a high level of sodium in their diet) it is the move away from refined foods, which I ALWAYS advocate.
Eat a balanced, lean, healthy diet, full of as much unprocessed food as possible. Count your calories, if you want to lose weight eat under your body's maintenance level, if you want to gain wait eat above it.
Im sure you will come up with some pro-vegan facts, but that quote above summarizes it PERFECTLY. You're just too religious about it to ever admit the truth.
I don't even know why you showed up in this thread. You come in here and accuse me of preaching, in a thread I didn't even start. I don't think I've discussed veganism in MONTHS here until Coonie made this thread, which is about HIM and HIS choices,
Coonie asked how to live a healthy lifestyle, and you came forth claiming Veganism is the answer! It isnt. You're fucking with people's actual health based on your beliefs, and your diet may work for you if you only care about your voice and songwriting, but it doesnt work for anyone who is active, has to run around all day going to class, etc etc. All you've said so far is your body is fine for YOUR needs, cool, super, I dont agree, but if you do, fine, but those are YOUR needs, YOUR diet is based around YOUR needs, so stop pretending YOUR diet is the answer for everyone else, it isn't. And you're right, this response IS a culmination of all of my frustration with you in all of these vegan threads. You push what works for you, which is debatable, onto everyone else and act like they're shit people if they dont do what you do.You want to be a skinny twig with a lack of testosterone and sex hormones, that's fine, you've always looked up to effeminate men anyway, and that's you, that is fine, that is why perhaps your diet works for your effeminate lifestyle and the image you want to portray (again I ask, then why the cartoon?). But dont push your beliefs onto others, especially those desperate and willing to try anything to get in shape, because they will fuck themselves up more than they already are.
If they are over weight, and become effeminate, you know what will happen? GYNO! Bitch tits. That is what a lack of natural testosterone production leads to.
If they are over weight, and drastically cut out their protein intake and calorie intake, you know what will happen? They will lose energy, faint, become sick, or tons of other complications.
A BALANCED diet is what is needed.
so you need to get off my case. And your other snide comment (getting all catty up in here, mrrrowwww!) is just pure ridiculousness and fantasy, because again - you don't know me. I don't give a fuck about your obvious need to vent some frustrated feelings, but I didn't mention you in this thread or anything to do with you, so coming in here and throwing random inaccurate shots at me is 100% lame as fuck. Have a good day.
No snide comment, but it's the only way I can show people in this thread, and maybe you, that your diet is not as healthy as you preach it to be. And I apologize for using your photos, but like I said, I didnt go get personal facebook pics, those are your own promo photos you released on your Tumblr.
And I apologize if it seems like I am attacking you, Im not, Im disputing the evidence and information you provide. Unfortunately when you put so much of yourself into it, it can be hard to distinguish the two. Perhaps that is my shortcoming as a debater. So dont try to play the victim and act like Ive got something against you, I have nothing to have against you other than the above stated.
Even your avatar shows your preachy bullshit. "Never trust an ex-Vegan." Right, so people who had to abandon the diet for health reasons, or simply changed their mind, fuck them right? You know, freedom, freewill, health, all thats hit, fuck that right?
At the end of the day, YOUR diet and lifestyle reflect YOUR life goals. If you had to chose a body below, you'd obviously chose the one on the left, where as I'd chose the one on the right. I dont ever want to be THAT big, but if they HAD to chose one or the other, I'd bet most men would chose the right one. You look like the chick on the left, except less toned and weaker.
) and I am trying to put health before my looks. But... I am getting older now. I have left my 20s and I am conscious that my 30s will fly by and I'll be 40.... So... I am looking to improve my health now.
I'm just saying, bc Ruk posted a pic of her.
