I'm 100% considering switching to a grain and plant based diet.
My current diet had egg whites as the only source of animal protein.
I have chicken shakes that haven't moved. Everytime I go to the fridge I grabed a tuperware of veggies caserol I made.

Nuts, fruits, legumes, grains has been making up my diet.
Looking at the macro profile of grains, nuts, veggies with natural occuring amino acid profiles. I'm having a hard time finding negatives.
Excluding bro Science that has always told me to eat lbs of animal protein a day.
Even egg whites I went from drink lots to the same litre has been half full in my fridge for last couple days.
I watched game changers, they showed a trial where they fed athletes meat one day and then a plant based diet.
They drew blood and ran it through it centrifuge.
After total seperation
The plant based diet had clear plasma
The animal based diet showed cloudy plasma.

Even this run so far I'm only on 1200 mg of gear, and I feel like better than I have on any of my previous cycles.

Not even that but my grocery bill has been cut down significantly.

So the question is can a vegan diet actually be ran successfully. Are we Living off facts that we need meat to survive and make any kind of progress is it really just broscience.
 
All you have to do is look at some of the middle eastern body builders, not only do they practically never eat meat but the bulk of their diet is soy based and they are big.

I've cut meat out completely from my diet, I'm not a vegetarian I still eat eggs and fish, I think that's called Pescatarian?

Yes I found the amino acid profile of soy beans and it's absolutely crazy. For a small tub of eaa's plus the other nutrients that's naturally found in soybean I can buy KG's of them for the cost of a small tub of supplement powder.
All vegetables are high macro low calorie almost no calorie.
Essential fats and proteins in nuts. A 4kg box of chicken is $38 lol I can fill a icecream pail with almonds for that.

I think I'll still hang onto fish but keep it as night snack, I never really even gave any of this a thought though until I seen the blood plasma from the centrifuge.

I remember back when I worked construction I would see guy eating curry and basically salads and they would just kill it, it blew my mind.
the body builders your right none of them eat meat pretty much.

@Cheapshot look up amino acid profile and macros of vegetables and even Nuts it's not all crazyness.
 
You likely need to supplement with aminos.Do these ME bbers add aminos?

Framers they were having lunch with a crock pot sitting on the floor it smelled really strong.
I asked them what they were eating and they said Cury.
The 3 man crew smoked a 5 man crew working beside them by a week. 5 man crew had nicer trucks and bigger better equipment.
The 3 man crew had basic tools and hand banged most of the house.
 
Five man crew probably did the job right.:)Just one crew is not a big sample.

Is there not meat like lamb or goat in curry? I know I’m asked for that for curry.
 
I actually felt my best eating mainly a vegetarian diet myself. I wasn’t avoiding meat but after I stopped working out I just stopped eating so much protein (both from meat/vegetarian/vegan sources).

I think the health benefits is due to the reduced protein intake

David Sinclair believes that people eat too much protein in their diet. He says it activates MTOR pathways too much, which is good for building muscle and fat loss but not for longevity (anti aging) because it prevents the body’s autophagy process.
I don’t know the exact science of it but it’s supposed to be the body’s mechanism of “renewing” old cells that don’t work right or that the body doesn’t need or something like that

Been vegan for about a year. I tried it out of curiosity and I ended up liking the way I felt on it - not as bloated, digestion was an issue for me with meat/dairy/etc. It took a while to fully make the change - I had to learn to cook more but now I have staples that I eat all the time and are easy to prep (thank you instapot). I'm not a competitive bodybuilder by any stretch of the imagination. I do Muay Thai and BJJ. But I maintain a decently sized 240 lbs on either 200mg/wk of test or when I want to spice it up 400 test/600 tren. My avatar is where I'm currently at. I know when I eat meat that I can get waaaay bigger and it's easier too.

It's not something I go around preaching since everybody has their own choices to make. It just works for me.

It hasn't been that long but I'm noticing I don't feel like I'm out of gas all the time anymore.
I'm still always hungry but it's not the same type of hunger.

I used to do that, everytime someone would say there vegan I would ask them how you survive lol.
I used to work with a guy many years ago who was vegan, he didn't smoke or drink either lol.
Our crew was about 5 people and he got razed alot.
 
I hate to admit it on here but here goes... I've been a veggie for over thirty years and started on a plant based diet (I don't ever use that cringy "V" term) around five years later so for over twenty-five years. I know I could probably do much better if I ate some regular food but it's just a diet and I don't think of it much really. I just have to try a little harder and work out hard.

I would never promote this type of diet or preach to anyone as those people can be extremely annoying to others and I am mostly embarrassed about it. That's why I never add info. about m diet on here. This is the first I have spoke about it. I am only posting to hopefully get rid of at least some of the stereotypes if possible - even though many are probably true for many but now all. Please don't hate and feel free to make fun of me all you want. :)

Thank you & good luck to all,

OD
