Vegan?

Luckily the scientific consensus is that phytoestrogens in soy that resemble estrogen aren't a concern, especially in moderate amounts:

Do it, take yourself out of the race

Vegan is great. I don't know how old you are, but when you're in your 50s after having been vegan for a couple decades, you'll sure be happy you made the switch.

Eat whatever the FUCK you want.

It might affect your testosterone, but the science is not clear about it yet. Have regular tests if that's something that worries you.

Also, you will need to eat a lot more quantity as vegan products tend to be less calorie and protein dense than meat.

Finally, don't be the vegan that lectures the rest of us mortals. My FB is full of that shit telling me how imma die of cancer and I'm a bad human. Like I give a fuck, being in TRP im already Hitler by today's society standards.

Can you just eat meat?

I eat almost no plants. Absolutely no fruits because of the sugar. I can recommend.

I turned vegan recently (5 months) for ideological reasons. I can say that the "soy lowering the testosterone" argument is not a consensus(there are "evidences" for both sides). I lift seriously since 2009, I have a awesome natural shape and since I became vegan I lost a lot of fat, no muscle, my strength is the same (I do SL5X5) , I feel much healthier, my libido didn't change at all (pretty good actually). I didn't checked my T levels since but it was high before (last time it was about 1000 ng/dl totally natural, I am 25) and I didn't notice any change. But I would highly recommend you to take a creatine supplement as it really helps to keep the muscles/strength.

Diet of manginas. Something tells me you are considering this only to impress some vegan chick.

It won't hinder your progress assuming you still have the right training, calories, macros, meal timing (IF) in place.
The estrogenic effect of soy only comes into play if you consume big amounts and even then it's not going to have a big impact on you if at all.

I AM VEGAN DO YOU HEAR ME

Humans supposed to consume animal based foods. Thats how we made but with todays tecnology, you can go full vegan and lift. Your choice but i suggest meat, egg and milks.

I've been considering switching to a more plant based diet, mostly because so much of the meat produced in the US is very unhealthy and poor quality. They're animals that are raised living on a pile of their own shit, and pumped full of antibiotics so they don't die too early, and given an unnatural diet to grow faster. If you watch videos of the production lines when they're butchered, often as soon as their skin is nicked, puss comes out. If we hunted an animal and found its insides looking like that in the wild, we wouldn't eat it because we'd know it's a sick animal.

I'd eat organic, free-range meat if I could afford it. Tastes much better too.

My last two LTRs ate very little meat (almost none except fish), and they both have very healthy looking skin, as well when I go down on them they taste the best of any chicks I've been with... Coincidence? Maybe. But I do think most people should eat less shit and consume more vegetables.

Are you against meat?

Every nutritionist I've met agrees that lean meat is part of a well rounded diet.

I'd still eat fish if I was in your position at least.
