I love dumbbell only workout. I actually use Body Beast DVD by Beachbody. Been doing this for about a year. Found good dummbells on different apps that sell items.

Sun Warrior Protein shake to get all your amino acids and a blend of quality proteins. But if that's not an option, keep it simple and combine Garbanzo beans (chickpeas) & Quinoa and you'll have a complete protein. Vega protein is excellent but a little more pricey. Look for RAW protein shakes. What this means is that they…

I'm started on this for about 2 weeks. Plant base and grain free. from my only personal experience. I noticed my energy level is back. I had fog brain for months and couldn't figure it out. I'm gluten sensitive as well. Lost 8lbs in 2 weeks. I couldn't really loose anything eating grains and being vegan. And I'm not as…

Awesome, The visual definitely helps. You're absolutely correct. Going down this rabbit hole has led to another opening. :)

Yes ya'll are difficult LOL... That's one fact I can agree with. So after reading the bible front and back using the greek and Hebrew dictionary and concordances, I realized, that 99% of the Christians I've encountered (estimated %) are not following anything of what they believe. It was easy for them to do a spiritual…

I believe I'm trying to answer a social question w/o putting race into it, but somehow the topic drifted towards individualism. I'm not sure if the southern states make up the most blacks since it's roughly around 20% black population compared to whites as far as total ethnic groups. The census studies, show there is an…

I guess I'm coming from an social perspective instead of an individual. I know plenty of religious people that are in super great shape. Ones I know personally. But the majority is what I'm studying.

These (most) are also considered the Bible Belt, which is also the most religious states (southern region) So the bible belt is not only the unhealthiest, but also is the poorest, lack of education, and has the highest crime rate. Globally: the best countries to live in such as New Zealand or Austrlia are considered the…

Maybe not drinking but it was used in the early parts of history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_bean

HA HA HA. So true! I would of avoided child support if I just had a nice cup of coffee 17 years ago :|

I guess that what happens when you don't have your morning coffee. LOL, updated my response. :)

My bad, I read it wrong. Just sipped my coffee and now everything makes sense LOL. okay, edited my response.

Some vegans believe this idea. I at one time fell into this ideal of thinking, when trying to find the right way of eating and what's the most natural form that we should go.

Can you share a non-bias reference. I did hear this some time ago, but didn't dig too much into it.

So I actually didn't lose to much weight. I was hoping to drop and shred pounds like all the other testimonies but I didn't. The only benefit was maybe for health. I recently discovered why I wasn't losing the weight and it was because of the grains and gluten. I do not digest grains well which was the main part of my…

I just ended a 1 year vegan diet, and decided to do paleo a few days ago. I'm interested.

Thank you. I figured, Vegan is not a religion lol

Point taken. I guess when I refer to natural, I'm referring to eating habits and availability. In most cultures they eat what is relatively available in their region, such as in Thailand, India, China, etc... I live in a western culture, (Texas), which is mostly red meat, BBQ brisket, and little to no greens. Now I know…

I'm starting to agree on this as well. I just took a bite from a paleo - frozen chicken meal, 30 mins later, I'm starting to feel energized again. From a logical perspective: we have a sense of taste and we love the way meat and fish taste. It's the reason why dogs do not eat fruit because of the smell and the taste. Why…

Thanks. I was preaching this Vegan lifestyle to a lot and it has actually helped with a few I known to reverse diabetes. But I couldn't fake it any longer and pretend I felt like a super hero. I still believe in plants as this optimum source, but omega 3's from fish and complete proteins are essential as well as b12 from…

Trust me, I understand that I will upset most vegans. I do supplement with Jarrow B12, also their multi b complex and Garden of Eden Raw multi vitamin (added multi vitamin 2 weeks to see if any improvement)... None helped, and I felt miserable with brain fog. Then I'm thinking. If our ancestors couldn't get B12 from plants…

Here's an interesting article I came across: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/06/03/obesity-epidemic-in-america-churches.html

Wow! I've recently started a study about the Seventh Day Adventism, and it's interesting that they are the healthiest religious group, but also observe the dietary laws of the Torah. I do not know too much about them, but this has sparked my interest. It's as if they were presented the kings food (story of Daniel) and they…

Here's some more science of What the Health. Joe Rogan looks like a fool trying to debunk it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m2h3BZA_sQ Here's a link to sources and statistics for the film: http://www.whatthehealthfilm.com/facts/ More Stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7b4kBTuHF0

Food and lack of movement are the biggest contributors. We eat more calories, saturated fats, and pretty much sit all day. We wake up, commute on the road for 1-3 hours per day, sit down all day (while consuming calories), then we commute back home. Change into comfortable clothes. Sit on the couch to watch some t.v. and…

I think Atkins beat you to it.

Okay, So I can only speak of myself from my own experience. I suffered for over a period of 5 years with severe gout. When I first had my gout attack I though I had broken my foot or fractured it. After some time of studying I realized that the Red meat is what caused the high uric acid in my body. So I went on and off of…

I know plenty of vegans that are unhealthy. The ones I came across just eats a bunch of Oreo cookies and low activity.

The scientific claims from the China Study. Not just a film or a blog I read, but the actually 300 + page book that I picked up from the book store. It's backed by scientific studies.
