protein is nothing to worry about and everyone should take a b-12 supplement no matter what diet vegan or not

yeah its pretty dead lol. so you can add me as friend. if you want i have been bodybuilding for about 8 months but i do things way different in nutrition and dont take any supplements.

yah the group is pretty dead. i follow a whole foods plant base diet low in fat and protein no supplements and put on a good amount of lean muscle mass. eat big train hard

there's 22 amino acids out of the 22, 9 are Essential amino acid meaning your body cant make them so you need to get them from foods sources which any whole plant food has all 9. like bananas, rice, bean, potatoes, kale etc. the whole protein, amino acid things are just excuses people like to use so they can keep eating…

lol all foods are made up of amino acids so every thing you eat

here a video about soy its short. http://youtu.be/a8bnOaUsy54

i workout day for me i start morning off with water, then make a green smoothie (kale 2 to 4 leaves, bananas 6 to 8, blueberries 1 cup, some times dates 5 =about 1000 to 1500 calories) an hour or 2 after then ill go to the gym and lifted anywhere form 2 to 3 hours i do about 10 to 12 exercises 3 sets each. after i…

i like soy in its whole food form. like edamame and some tofu. the "bad" soy would be soy protein isolate and other any other isolated nutrients, it becomes a processed food to me all processed food is bad. i eat a whole foods plant based diet no supplements. as far as protein goes all foods are made up of amino acids and…

really there should be no muscle mass lost unless cutting calories and carbs a lot. that the number 1 mistake people make is when it comes to weight loss. i dont know what your diet looks like and how many calories you consume so im not sure. check out dr.mcdougall i follow his diet plain it workouts well i lost weight…

you shouldn't be losing and muscle mass unless your cutting carbs or calories. to me the whole 1g of protein per pound is way to much. i have put on about 10lbs of lean muscle mass and my average protein intake is like 60 to 75gs a day no supplements. it take a long time to start losing muscle mass. i wouldn't think your…

yams baked with cinnamon and almond milk simple easy and soo good

i just started lifting 3 months ago and had mass gains but thats how it normally is when you first start. i dont take any supplements at all. In the 3 months of lifting i put over 1 and half inches on my biceps couple on my chest and legs my starting weight was 135 im now around 145 and im still as lean as when i started…

i started weight lifting a little more then 2 months ago on a low fat low protein high carb vegan diet and i have really good grains each week for example start started out @45lbs on dumbbell press now im doing 70lbs. my protein intake is about 40g-100g a day. on days i eat black beans its higher 1 can has 24g and ill eat…

awesome thanks should be posting workout video tomorrow

snickers is high fat 43% and 50%carbs. brown rice is 86% carbs 6% fat. why snicker makes you fat cause its high fat not the carbs

plant based high carb lowfat is the only way to go to me it work great check out dr mcdougall, dr doug graham, neal barnard, dr caldwell esselstyn, t colin campbell they follow high carb lowfat plant based diet. look them up there a lot of free info on it. my diary is open

keep it plant based low fat and your good. i can hit but to 300+grams of sugar in day just on much fruit i eat that day i do a lot of banana date smoothies and 1 of them can have like 250g sugar . its the fat you have to watch out for .

McDougall is awesome read his books watch his videos he why i go by the vegan gladiator. been doing the diet for a year and will never change. started strength training about 2 months getting good gains with NO supplements at all.

650+g of carbs 150+g sugar. diary is open

lowfat vegan is the best thing ever done for my health. keeps you learn no matter how many calories you eat or how much exercise you do. diary is open.

i dont worry about protein its a bit overrated. as long as your getting your calories your protein will be fine i normally eat 3k+ calories the staples in my diet are bananas, dates, yams, and rice my protein can be anywhere from 40g-100g i worry about getting to much i dont like going over 80gs a day. i follow lowfat…

there nothing wrong with soy just a lot of soy is GMO so just buy organic soy stuff but i would stay away from soy protein isolate that bad stuff lol i follow pretty strict lowfat vegan diet and i use tofu in some of my dish i make. and if your looking for a cheese i would only you daiya vegan cheese is the only real vegan…

that is not true at all "If you consume more calories than you burn, you will gain weight." cause i lost weight when i made my change with out exercise. i do that opposite of paleo/lowcarbs, i eat unlimited calories unlimited carbs but keep fat/protein low. my dad lost over 30lbs with no exercise!, my mom just started…

im not trolling watch Breaking The Food Seduction - by Dr. Neal Barnard. its free on youtube about an hour long. and what i did was not a diet it was a lifestyle change.

calorie restriction is stupid and will set you up to fail. eating under 1200 calories is anorexic. i eat unlimited calories yesterday i ate 3500 calories and have been for over a year and my weight stayed the same. my breakfast is 1200 calories lol

Go Vegan check out Dr. Mcdougall's books or videos on youtube or add me i have been vegan for 3 years and on Dr. Mcdougall's diet/lifestyle for about a year best way to go highcarb lowfat Vegan is the best
