NO ANIMAL PROTEIN?
...Introducing a Different Lifestyle
For the record, HARDCORE HEALTH means focusing on a healthy
lifestyle that is better than wherever you are right now. For us, it means
that we are vegan, eating plant-based protein, rather than animal-based
protein.
We know that everyone isn't ready for a vegan lifestyle. That's why we
don't beat people over the head with it. Mainly, people need to start from
wherever they are to make better decisions about developing a better
lifestyle. That's why we say over and over that HARDCORE HEALTH is a
lifelong journey, not a destination. It isn't some milepost that you reach,

We know that everyone isn't ready for a vegan lifestyle. That's why we
don't beat people over the head with it. Mainly, people need to start from
wherever they are to make better decisions about developing a better
lifestyle. That's why we say over and over that HARDCORE HEALTH is a
lifelong journey, not a destination. It isn't some milepost that you reach,
but it's learning to set goals, to reach those goals, and then to keep setting higher and higher goals.
Some might see the HARDCORE HEALTH life as very restrictive and dreary. We see it in an entirely different way,
for self-discipline and setting goals can be the most liberating way to live. We haven't been sick for decades. We
both feel like we're in our twenties, only we are quick to say that our twenties were never this good, health-wise. We
can both run, jump and keep going. How many other people our age can say that?
For us, whatever the cost is to eat and live this way, it is worth it every single day because of the way we feel!
NO RED MEAT?
So what does it mean to have a lifestyle that doesn't include animal protein? You have probably hear about all kinds
of weird terms and categories. Let us share a few of them:
If you are interested in any of these diets that focus on plant proteins, we often recommend reading the book, The
China Study, by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, one of the most famous nutrition researchers in the world. He is a
professor emeritus of nutrition at Cornell University, and was the director of the "China Study," considered the
largest, most comprehensive nutrition research ever attempted.
As a result of his research, Dr. Campbell became an advocate of the vegan lifestyle!
GETTING STARTED
If you decide to cook your veggies, be aware that too much heat and overcooking destroys enzymes and some
vitamins.
Be sure to eat a variety of life-giving whole-grains, which include wheat, rice, corn, barley, rice, corn, buckwheat and
more. So many grain products in our world today are over-processed, leaving little nutrition left, so it is always best
to eat the grains as close to unprocessed as possible. This can include cereals and whole grain breads.
Seek to eat a nice variety of seeds and nuts. These are extremely healthy, but they can also be high in calories, so
don't overdo these tasty morsels.
Find ways to use herbs, spices and sprouts for seasonings, rather than highly-processed seasonings and dressings
that may be filled with additives.
We recommend that you use extra-virgin olive oil in your vegetable salads, as well as when you cook foods.
Instead of cakes and cookies, grab fresh and dried fruits for desserts or snacks.
Above all else, try to reduce the amount of meat you eat. We found that when we learned to focus more and more
on plant-based proteins (more about that in an upcoming HARDCORE HEALTH), we felt so much better that we
didn't want to go back.
We have found that people who choose to become vegetarian (in one of its forms), are generally very happy they
made that decision.
Just think it through carefully. Do your research. Find what works for you. And seek the advice of a trusted health
practitioner.

NO RED MEAT?
So what does it mean to have a lifestyle that doesn't include animal protein? You have probably hear about all kinds
of weird terms and categories. Let us share a few of them:
- VEGETARIAN refers generally to the growing number of people in the world who do not consume meat,
poultry, fish or seafood. This grouping includes vegans and the various sub- categories of vegetarian;
however, it generally implies someone who has less dietary restrictions than a vegan.
- A SEMI-VEGETARIAN is a person who is a vegetarian who consumes dairy products, eggs, chicken, and fish,
but does not consume other animal flesh.
- An OVO-LACTO-VEGETARIAN do not consume meat, poultry, fish and seafood, but does eat eggs and milk.
By the way, this is the largest group of vegetarians.
- An OVO-VEGETARIAN would be a vegan if he or she did not consume eggs.
- A LACTO-VEGETARIAN would be a vegan if he or she did not consume milk.
- VEGANS are among the strictest sub-category of vegetarians, avoiding the consumption of animal products
or by-products. Some of the strictest vegans don't consume honey and yeast. Raw vegans, as the term
implies, don't cook veggies or fruits.

GETTING STARTED
- Becoming a vegan, vegetarian or altering your
eating lifestyle should be the result of much
research and thought. And it is important to bear in
mind that it is important to discover what works for
you, personally.
Some people make a choice to go without animal
protein, then find out one category or the other of
vegetarianism is simply too restrictive for their
personal tastes.
It's all a matter of flexibility and finding out what is
best for you. And it is a matter of starting where you
can.
Mainly, whether you get rid of red meat or not, we
recommend that you try to add more and more fresh
raw fruits and vegetables every day. Variety is
definitely the spice of life. Fruit salads and
vegetable salads should become a main attraction.
If you decide to cook your veggies, be aware that too much heat and overcooking destroys enzymes and some
vitamins.
Be sure to eat a variety of life-giving whole-grains, which include wheat, rice, corn, barley, rice, corn, buckwheat and
more. So many grain products in our world today are over-processed, leaving little nutrition left, so it is always best
to eat the grains as close to unprocessed as possible. This can include cereals and whole grain breads.
