Doctors are not educated very well in nutrition. Nutritionists yes, find a vegan nutritionist if you are worried. It is not a highly restricted diet.

Protein powder = processed useless crap. Just eat real food. I'm a vegan and I can easily get mine through quinoa, lentils, beans, peas, all the veggies, all the fruits, all the grains.

You don't need that much protein. .8g will see the same gains as 1.5g or 1g. Carbs will help you with energy and lifting more heavier weights = gains and PRs. Just continue to eat healthy and do a starters program (usually 3 full body circuit per week). Then move onto upper/lower splits (4 workouts total a week) then split…

There's a lot of binge eaters who have had success with 801010/raw til 4. Now don't start going all "OMG THAT'S UNHEALTHY" do some real research. Now the reason this is, is because they are used to binging and this style of eating basically is binging/abundance with healthier foods such as fruit. Now why fruit? Because its…

I'm open to friends feel free to add :)

Check out edgy veg, vegan zombie, and black metal vegan on YouTube.

The fact that you sourced fox news....*shame* jk But really, that study has been out for a while now. There is research to back it up as well as magazine articles to debunk it. It is a proven fact that charring, grilling, whatever methods you want to use to blacken your meat, has cancer causing/accelerating agents in it.…

I dont know, I threw my scale out. I just go by how the clothes fit. It's probably water retention. But it would be good to do so you can figure out how your body fluctuates with TOM and certain foods like sodium.

Interesting, I'll look into it :)

I'll put in my 2 cents...well maybe a couple of 2 cents from my own research and personal experience: ~Not eating enough and the body recognizes famine. I have done this. plenty of people have done this, that is why I see a lot of "I can only maintain on 1200-500 calories" Even women eating at 1500 is too low. ~Too much…

Up your calories. You can't expect to gain muscle on a defecit. Even if you are trying to burn fat there is a line where the body just holds onto it. Build muscle and do hiit cardio. Or combine them.

Honestly I would stay away from 1200 calories. You could probably eat more and still lose weight. It will be slower in progress but it will be a more lasting weight loss.

Or read this story: http://feedmeimcranky.com/2014/03/03/eat-the-food/ Here's the sparknotes on this: There are people who eat below their BMR. If they were to get into a coma, the doctors would feed them whatever that magical number is JUST to keep them alive and organs functioning. Why eat below what you would consume in…

Bad advice is bad. You can't "kill" metabolism. You can restore it by slowly refeeding your body/upping calories. It sounds pretty scary but it works long term. Focus on health first and yes, you WILL gain weight. It's is natural and a response the body does once higher amounts of calories are reintroduced. But give it…

I would look into you for injury prevention and core stability. I personally find that regular yoga makes me run horribly, I don't know about the rest of the world but that's what happens!

Because bikes are awesome :D awesome job!

2 Frozen bananas blended with some cocoa powder. Bam, ice cream.

There's this thing called evolution. It's pretty powerful. Just like how we somehow "magically" adapted to tolerating lactose into adulthood. Or how we domesticated grains and beans and whatnot for food. And in time we will probably function better off of processed garbage than what grows from the ground. If you really…

I'm REALLY late on this because its been a hell of a winter but I logged: 14.5 miles 2-19-1014 9 miles 2-21-2014

1) Low carb usually ends up being higher in protein. 2) Low carb is usually cutting back on calories (things they consider junk food) or having a calorie control like counting carbs. When you up your protein and fat intake your appetite is suppressed. 3) Fruit sugar is metabolized differently in your body than processed.…

I am a supporter of the "high carb" lifestyle. Sure we humans are adaptable to just about anything. But going all low carb is basically cutting calories. Going low carb is putting you closer to ketosis, which is bad. Eating way too much protein (especially meat) actually triggers cancer cells. "But but I dont have cancer…

You can repair your metabolism. Check out eatmore2weighless.com. There's tons of useful articles and stories on there.

Just keep doing what you're doing before the broscience comes sweeping in.

Omg this is hilarious. First off, all the "carbs" in the image for the article are either heavily processed or loaded with fat (I still don't understand why people associate pizza with carbs).

Meeeee. I'm working on increasing (hovering around 1700) because like yourself.....eating low cal feels like death.

I find plyometrics (things like insanity, body rock, loving fit, ect.) mix both up in short amount of time. So if you love cardio then alternate days. One day hiit/plyo and the next bike or something.

Dr. Oz has good intentions, but he's going into sellout mode and just silly things to keep an audience. Check out eatmore2weighless.com on this subject.

Hi 10 years vegetarian and 3 months vegan :)

Nope, just the thought of my eyes burning from mascara or eye liner is to distracting.

Hiya! I've been here for a month :)
