Title: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: sovietsong on February 14, 2010, 01:04:10 PM A friend of mine is setting a challenge up and giving up meat for 40 days (lent) , i am fancying a bet against him but not sure if its easy to do or not. I eat meat twice a day on most days and dont really know what i would do if i couldnt eat it but for other people that arent as fat as me could you give it up for 40 days?

zomg no way, meats so amazing. Had Steak as my main meal yesterday, had chicken just now and planning pork chops later. I am also fat as fuck tho. Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: GreekStein on February 14, 2010, 01:22:04 PM Much like B Ho I'm fat as fuck so wouldn't be giving it up for a day let alone half an hour.
Phil Ivey and Durrr have just had a bet for $1million whereby Ivey isn't allowed to eat meat for a whole year. Ivey already tried to buy out for $50k and durrr refused. Don't know how long in they are though. Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: sledge13 on February 14, 2010, 01:22:59 PM 40 days? zomg no way, meats so amazing.

Post by: EvilPie on February 14, 2010, 01:24:03 PM I think this would be easy if you actually wanted to give up meat.
If you're being forced to do it for a bet or whatever then it would be a living nightmare. Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: Jon MW on February 14, 2010, 01:30:52 PM It should be really easy to do, but probably depends on what his will power is like in general and just how much he really wants to do it.
Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: sovietsong on February 14, 2010, 01:48:31 PM he seems to want to do it to prove he can ???
he told me that he was planning on doing it and i asked if he would be willing to take a bet. I fancied betting because he is pretty big (tall not fat) and seems to eat lots of meat, always bacon and sausage sarnies on a friday etc etc, after a night out last week we went to a greesy spoon in the morning, i ordered a standard breakfast and he had 3 sausages 3 bacon and beans said he doenst like all the other stuff. Kinda gives me the impression he is a bit of a meat lover! I might do it just so i can spoil his next 40 days eating bacon sarnies everyday infront of him and getting the big macs in at lunch time (we work together too obv).

Post by: ViiperUK on February 14, 2010, 02:08:10 PM well i turned to vegetarianism like 2 months ago and i aint even had a problem with not eating meat, there is so much other stuff u find tht u can eat and is enjoyable.
ps. I am also a bit of a fat bastard xD Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: Graham C on February 15, 2010, 10:28:57 AM No point in giving up meat, give up salad instead, much easier

I could give it up for 80 days

I am also a bit of a fat bastard xD Yeah but you obviously wanted to give up meat. That makes it easy. Anything is easy if you choose to do it. If you are doing it because of another reason it'd be very difficult. Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: thetank on February 15, 2010, 07:04:54 PM Piece of piss to give up meat if you can cook a bit and are able to knock up some a wide variety of tasty veggie thangs for your munching.
Tough if he's planning on living on veggie ready meals. Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: sovietsong on February 15, 2010, 07:50:06 PM i've decided i'm going to bet against him, this is going to be very difficult and although he is a stuborn guy I think he will regret betting with me as i will be eating more meat than ever during lent (the term of the bet)

Post by: action man on February 15, 2010, 09:09:56 PM make sure the bet is like £100ish so he can back out. If it was like £2k he prob does it or lies about it.
FWIW meat and wine are 2 of my 5 favourite things in the world, id rather die than be without them Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat?

Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: GreekStein on February 15, 2010, 10:20:43 PM make sure the bet is like £100ish so he can back out. If it was like £2k he prob does it or lies about it. This!! I am late to pretty much everything and Rooks, Leknave and Middy bet $500 to my $2000 that I wouldn't make it from my house to a Macdonalds in Luton before 9.30am on a saturday. If the bet was for like $200 there's pretty much 0 way I would have made it but I'd have walked to Luton to not lose $2k. Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: action man on February 15, 2010, 10:25:08 PM paiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii me cos
Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: Claw75 on February 16, 2010, 12:04:40 AM meh I reckon this would be pretty easy - it's only 40 days and it's not as if meat is actually addictive
Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: maldini32 on February 16, 2010, 12:42:12 AM Piece of piss! I d just have crunchy nut for breakie, tuna/cheese and beans toastie's & fruit for lunch and pizza and chips for tea. Chocolate hob nobs or any cake for that matter! How am i not a fat fucker?!
As long as i can have pizza and chips id be fine. Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: gatso on February 16, 2010, 12:44:30 AM make him go vegan. that's a proper challenge and much more chance of you winning cos you can pull him up on leather shoes or something if need be
Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: Cf on February 16, 2010, 01:39:12 AM Piece of piss!

As long as i can have pizza and chips id be fine. fail fwiw I'd die if I couldn't eat meat for 30 days. I' don't think i'd even be able to make it 2 weeks. Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: EvilPie on February 16, 2010, 01:51:14 AM Pretty sure I could do this for a couple of grand and I love meat.
I'd just live on fruit juice and smoothies, eggs on toast and the odd protein shake / bar. Easy as anything. Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat?

FWIW meat and wine are 2 of my 5 favourite things in the world, id rather die than be without them good advice, going to defo keep the steaks low! (see what i did there!) he was doing this before I asked if i could bet so dont think he will lie about it and if he does so be it, wont be worrying about him cheating me. His last day today of meat. anybody else giving something up for lent? Title: Re: How easy is it to give up meat? Post by: sovietsong on February 18, 2010, 09:16:11 AM LOL - it took one day, he's given in already. what a joke, maybe i bet too small!
