Vegan male
hey everyone. Been vegan for over two years. Feel free to add or msg. I try to stay away from the msg boards here because I found that much of the dieting and working out info is just horrendous.

For Vegans / Vegetarians only.
As many of you know, the sheer ignorance of the general population when it comes to talking about a vegan / plant based diet is very misinformed. Most will say we are designed to be Omnivores (which is what our current diet suggests). Those that say we are carnivores just are too far gone to help anyway. It's about what…

species-specific diet
Every animal has a species-specific diet. So why is it so hard to come to the conclusion what the idea diet is for humans? There are already many studies that show what diet you need to live a longer life (statistically). My guess is the almighty dollar. Money is what makes the world go round - supports fake claims, and…

Agree to disagree! Can we find common ground?
So no one will agree on what the ideal diet is. I think we all get that by now. Hell, Vegans don't even agree with other vegans from what I've seen. I don't think many of you will disagree (but I'm sure some of you will find a way) with the following : - pretty much ALL processed foods are less than ideal for optimal…

Former FAT people. Lose skin?
It's been a concern of mine, not a big one, but as I keep dropping weight it is in the back of my mind. How long has it taken you for your skin to adjust to your fat loss?

bulk buying produce - pros & cons. WWYD?
I recently found a wholesale produce store by my main residence. 40 lb. of Bananas = $10 18 pints of blueberries = $5 30 lb. of Broccoli = $18 box of kale = $25 Box of spinach =$15 25 lb of oranges = $15 25 lb of apples = $18 and so on.... Great deal, but a huge amount considering I'm eating for one. I bought the bananas,…

Calories - not even close to what you're consuming?
I was flamed here last week for saying I do not count my calories anymore & I still am posting great losses. I am still tracking, but that is because I am curious about sugar & protein intake & testing a few theories. A friend recently posted this video where he finds out if the calories listed are actually the calories in…

I've stopped counting calories & weight is still dropping.
After some time, I’ve chosen to stop counting calories. I hear many of you on here saying “a calorie is a calorie” - or “just stay under your calorie limit and you will be fine”. I couldn’t disagree with those comments any more. First off - a pound of fat is equal to 4082 calories. I know many of you think it’s 3500…

Hummus with Onions & Maca
Hello All! I never ever follow recipes, I just tend to throw things together. So this should be an easy one to follow. Prepare time : 15- 20 mins. Step One : cook/boil 2 cups of chickpeas until soft (if dried). I did use dried for this. Step Two: chop up one onion & caramelize in frying pan. Step Three: Add however much…

Meat eaters vs. veg-heads
Apparently studies show that vegans & vegetarians live 8-15 years longer than meat eaters. This led many veg-heads to then claim meat is bad for you and thats why they lived longer. Why not use a bit of propaganda for the plant cause? Meat & Dairy pay TONS of money to spread their propaganda! I don't think it's the lack of…

working out & Nutritional Timing
Below is a combination of science & my personal preference of the best timing of nutrition and what to eat on workout days. Like to know if anyone else has a routine that works for them. Pre- workout - Shake or simple carbs - fruit - prunes - and/or some coconut oil. Muscles have limited glycogen storage, and if you plan…
