Switching to a plant based diet?

The part that had me convinced was the NYFD guys. They went vegan for 7 days and had great results. These are normal dudes.

Some one in my office just lost 35 ponds on a vegan diet. So it’s seems like worth a try?

Lol this is the last place id imagine seeing vegans crawl out from under their rocks.

Have you ever seen a natty vegan who didn't look like they had just made it out of a gulag?

I can respect the moral arguments, but ultimately the human body did not evolve for a herbivorous diet.

I think that a plant based diet is a quick way to lose gains. Also most people turn into junk food vegans or just pack their diets with soy and sugars.

I would say hell no, but it's your life. If you want to substitute steak for a nice estrogen boosting soy patty, go for it.

Are you referring to plant based as vegetables, some meat, grains etc? Or pure vegan?

The term “plant based” is misinterpreted a lot.

Vegan I wouldn’t advise when heavy training. It can be done but you need to plan a lot.

Plant based is just eating “proper” food most of the time.

Also be wary of any documentary that pushes a certain narrative. There is a keto documentary that made similar claims to save all your health woes.

The documentary has been picked apart by health professionals. Have a lot at “Biolaynes” rebuttal of it.

An optimized vegan diet is undeniably the best route to go for health and workout recovery. You basically get every nutrient that meat provides without the shitty drawbacks such as sat fats and cholesterol.

Don’t listen to the bullshit that people with no background in nutrition will tell you.

Be warned though, you will have to plan your diet accordingly. Plants have less calories so you need to eat more. Overall though if you do it right and you make sure to eat a variety of whole plant foods you will be at optimum health. Your markers of inflammation will lower, your serum cholesterol will lower, you will have harder erections (increases bloodflow), and your muscle recovery will speed up (benefit of less inflammation).

You should supplement B12 though just as all humans should. B12 is not found naturally in foods due to societies over sanitizing of food sources. Go buy a methylcobalamin b12 supp

Game changers is full of bullshit, lies, propaganda and cherry picking stats. Google game changers debunked.

https://youtu.be/TaxK1xrlamg Lol look how healthy these vegans look.

Lmao, you're a dumbass if you bought what they were selling.

I won't discount the moral issues of eating animal products, but to say that you'll be healthier and perform better without them is absolutely ludicrous.

Oh lord here comes the vegan religion nuts. There is a reason you don't need to supplement while eating meat. Fat and cholesterol are absolutely needed products for your body.

There is a shit ton of podcasts and stuff debunking that show.

more important to cut out flour and sugar and dairy than meat

then again why are you asking me? i’m just a random guy on the internet
