I do this but add NO animal products at all. I've never felt better in my life.

Ha! I don't obsess about food at all. It's the same effort going to the store to buy fake "meat and dairy" vegan food than it is to buy fresh produce. I just eat the food that tastes good to me. What I eat is not an interest, it's what I eat, but it has helped me become more fit and so now I have more interests than ever…

Kayla- hiding something

1) I've never had an issue with needing more sodium. sometimes I will use himilayan salt, but not a lot. 2) I never get nausea eating this way. I don't ever get to where I feel "hungry" I think maybe that's where the nausea would come from maybe, but no I've never experienced that I did have detox in the beginning, but…

I was eating only veggies and animal protein -- lots of fiber. Look I've been doing this for a year now. If at some point I feel it's not working for me I will change that. The point for me is to BE healthy not to be thin. I just feel healthier than ever and according to my doc and test results I am. This is just my…

Totally! I am actually smaller than that now and continue to get smaller. YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT on a high protein diet, there are just more risks associated with it. For example towards the end I started getting really constipated and while my skin got better in the begining it started getting really oily and breaking out…

You have to understand that it's not profitable for people to eat this way-- it doesn't help the pharmaceutical industry nor the meat or dairy industry and so there's no money being put towards researching this. The proof is in the pudding. You just have to try and see if it works for you. The problem is the lack of…

Thank you. I will carry on because it's made me go from this...to this... [/URL] AND because I have lowered my cholesterol. I no longer have a calcium deficiency or any other dificiencies because I feel amazing, because I am happier than I have ever been in my life and I get to enjoy delicious food and workout doing things…

I provided protein recommendations as well from the CDC and from the WHO. I don't know what website memberships you're talking about and any books are for for information. The video is a look at what happens because it's on a webpage you assume that it's a marketing page? For what? It's not selling anything just providing…

selling what exactly?

It's not information. It's a side note.

In addition to just feeling and looking better from eating this way. I just don't want to support the industry as it is. It's not that I don't think humans shouldn't eat meat, but I don't think that animals should be treated as they are. It's something that I don't want to support and I don't think others would if they…

So let's see what happens this year??? I am monitoring what I eat and my workouts and I'm keeping a video diary. I will come back to this post on the first of every month with stats and pics. How do I track muscle gain for you guys other than pics?

Ha! I did make my own -- I think I just saw freshly squeezed and just added that- but yes I don't have pasterurized juice - I make my own.

Can you provide a reference for this? I personally know people that are body builders that eat like this and they are able to put on muscle mass. My fat will range on a weekly basis not on a daily basis to about 10-15%. Some days I might have low fat, but then another day I will make something that is more high in fat- it…

Jonnithan the video was not a source of "information" it was just a really cool story I wanted to share. Come on a 60 year old couple that ran all the way across australia- that's pretty damn cool!

For sure-- I think that's some thing that I tried to stress in the post that i try to listen to what my body is asking me for. I get fat from things like avocados and nuts and seeds. I get protein from LOTS of greens and things like limited amounts of quinoa, lentils, beans, sprouts, seaweed, etc. and obviously I get my…

Agreed-- I think this has A LOT to do with it. I had gone months on end without drinking before- so I don't think it was that alone. It's been a year so i think it's a placebo affect. Plus blood tests don't lie. I think before I was overfed and undernourished. Now I get all the vitamins and nutrients I need from my food. I…

There's a big difference- and thanks for bringing it up! I felt so good on a high protein diet for 2 main reasons: 1) I cut out all gluten, processed foods and refined sugar. That made me feel really good. AND I was loosing weight - that always feel good. The difference now is that I feel THAT and so much more. I get…

Sweetie- I think you didn't read my post. I very clearly state that I DONT let a label define who I am and that if I eat something it's because I want to not because I have to or can't have something. I no longer desire certain foods- that's WHY I don't eat them not because I CAN:T. I do this because I feel the best I ever…

Love it! Everyone has to find their own path for what works for them for where they're at in their life. I wanted to share this because -like you - I feel sooo000 good and I love the food I eat. I think it's interesting poeple read this and think we're trying to "convert" others. If it's not for you, that's fine, but I…

I agree with you- disagree with a lot that Harley and freelee have to say. However, they were extremely supportive at the festival I attended and Harley even helped me to start running and keep decreasing my mile time. I've told them I don't agree with a lot that they advocate, but I can disagree with someone and still…

Actually the B12 you get from animals comes from the dirt they eat not from the animals themselves. Because the way our produce is harvested and triple washed etc, we strip the B12 from the soil from the veggies.

I get blood work done regularly. My B12 was high and I take a supplement. THanks for looking out!

Madame-- Love your post! Thanks!

Ok, I need to get ready for bed. BUT I will leave you with this -- google jim morris vegan body builder. You HAVE to check out this man's body.

Ok- very ignorant question. Why am I being referred to as OP?
