Note: This isn't to say that chubby bodies  can not be "fit" and healthy, but one of the arguments towards community is that if someone wants to be muscular that he or she can't be vegan.

Why working out and being muscular or thin doesn't always = healthy by WLI

1. Eating unhealthy, but watching calories is vanity, not health [update:] so don't dictate how someone else eats

How dangerous IS the food you eat...

GMOs, Processed/ refined, Fast Foods,etc @ Chunkealthy Life

The Men Who Made Us Fat & The Men Who Made Us Thin - talks about how you can be thin and unhealthy by what you eat.

Just because you burn off calories doesn't mean you are burning off the impact of the chemical-ridden food you just ate.

These foods still have that effect even though the person is burning off calories, the effects of the food is not being burned off.

just because you are thin or muscular does not mean you can not get fatty liver disease, diabetes, etc. They are not the "fat persons'" disease. They are not obesity related diseases, but diseases brought on by food "like" products people consume. These diseases are not brought on by sugar, but the fact that table sugar is so processed and bleached that it causes cancer. These chemical addictives we eat cause cancer, heart disease,high blood pressure and diabetes but yet it is ignored because the person is not fat.

It has been proven time and time again that it is NOT weight, but quality of food, not quantity. Also living a sedentary lifestyle is very dangerous so just because a person eats withing his or her calorie range and is thin does not mean he or she is healthy because they are thin.

Food groups, nutrition, and what your body needs - just because you work off calories doesn't mean your body is getting these vitamins and minerals; not if you don't eat healthy. Eating McDonalds and working it off is not healthy and does not mean you are healthy. The burger is still damaging your organs.

Healthier baking/cooking alternatives:

• Breads/Pastries/"Carbs"
• Condiments/Flavoring
• Flours
• Food Coloring
• Oils
• Soda/Beverages
• Sugars/Sweets
• Understanding Substitues

• Recipes for "Junk" food

• Breads
• Candy
• Cheesy
• Deserts/Sweet
• Etc
• Fast Food
• Hearty
• Meaty/Savory
• Pastry
• Salads/Dip/Soup

What does.... mean? - what does that stuff on food packages mean

If you eat butter, processed candy,etc you can not say you are healthy just because you burn off all those calories you consumed enough to be thin or muscular.

Remember, use substitutions for butter, sugar ,vegetable oil, etc. 

The best way to eat healthy is to go vegan (which is proven to be the healthiest way of eating) and contribute to your heath and to animal rights and in some cases, even human rights.

Vegan Dread Fitness / Torre Washington

"About Torre
Torre Washington has been involved in fitness and nutrition for 22 years. Raised as a vegetarian, Torre has always been involved in the eating for life lifestyle. Everyone has a unique life story to share about how their lives were changed due to a shift in focus or some type of traumatic event. And when it came to nutrition, Torre's life was health.

Why BodyBuilding?
After getting sidelined for competition due to an injury on the football field in high-school to his knee, Torre just focused on working out. In 2008 he witnessed an event that would change his focus a bit, seeing a longtime friend compete win his pro card as an all-natural bodybuilder.
Torre decided life is too short not to pursue one's own dreams and goals. In April 2009, he entered his first-ever bodybuilding competition and placed 3rd in an open class of 11men (non-vegan). By the 2nd show, he had won his Pro card. Then the injury from high school returned with a vengeance, and Torre would have to wait almost a year to face the new challenge of being a Pro competitor. In May 2010, he did his fist Pro show after injury and placed 3rd out of 11."
