Thanks for opening my mind to another way of thinking. Maybe you can share your detailed diet plan for the benefit of those reading? I'm certainly interested in knowing where you actually get your required minerals, vitamins, nutrients from.... |
Hey Thanks for having an open mind!!!
I will say that honestly, getting the required nutrient content is ridiculously easy these days; everything comes fortified so its really hard not to get your vitamins.
And what most people don't know is that soy is a complete protein. Its actually one of the best complete proteins that you can get. But if you're veg you can still drink and eat eggs and get other animal proteins if you need them. But beans, nuts, seeds, veggies, and all that provide plenty of protein, so vegs can easy maintain their weight.
I actually found it easy for me to even gain weight as well, when I wanted to. I wanted to pack on 20 pounds, so I found that supplementing my diet with extra protein allowed me to gain about 15 pounds in two months. All on a completely veg diet.
My main point is that most of the myths about being a veg just aren't true.
But just in case I do take a multivitamin.
I am on a diet now called the warriors diet the link to the forum post is here:
The Warriors Diet
So now my dietary requirements are a bit different than those who I would say are regular vegs/vegans.
I basically eat one big meal at the end of the day. And I eat small meals throughout the day of fruits, during my period of undereating.
So far I have loved this diet, as I look forward to eating at the end of the day and usually pig out on whatever I want to.
I will admit that I have been feeling a bit light-headed, but that is probably because I need to up my calorie intake and begin to eat larger meals. When you're used to eat around 1000 calories per meal, it takes a bit of practice to consume 2000 or more calories per meal.
But other than that its great. I feel strong, very clear headed, and I am losing wee bit of fat around my belly, and developing a lean, swimmers like build, which is my goal.
So that's what works for me. I do have cheese on pizza, or milk mixed in with baked goods, things like that. But I don't like regular milk or eating eggs, so I exclude them because they don't fit my tastes.
Hope that helps!
Sincerely,
Ben S
