Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - pet peeve: why does everyone's idea of healthy eating seem to be veganism?

I dont know about veganism. I am a former personal trainer and have over 18 years of nutritional background. I understand the concept behind veganism but personally I haven't ever practiced it because I do believe we are designed to eat meat and eggs, but not necessarily dairy products. However, I have noticed with myself LATELY I FEEL better and perform better when I dont eat red meat but the correlation may be a coincidence. For example, I haven't eaten red meat for about 1 week and my workout yesterday was amazing. I was the strongest I have been in quite some time but this could be because I had sufficient rest. Who really knows. I do recommend if you eat red meat to choose organic as much as possible, esp. chix.

Furthermore, I am going to do an unscientific experiment on my sex drive. I am 38years old and have noticed a decline in blood flow AND libido, but both of these could be mental.
