gj man. when the comp done?

Sept 26th. I don't figure il win. It's based off %of weight lost. And I suspect my general foreman, the guy who set this up. Isn't doing it legitly. Lol. No problem to me, this is what kicked me into the lifestyle change. Imo I won already
For years I've always said "ohh il eventually get into shape, next year"
Now I'm finally doing it, no stopping now.

Been eating almost entirely plant based for a few months now.
Not for animal rights or anything. Just for health reasons and the problems I believe animal proteins to bring.

Just thought this was a good place to post about that kind of thing.

I dont consider myself any type of label like "im vegan let me tell you all about it! rabble rabble!" It's just something that I am interested in is all.

Still eating meat whenever its "the event" like a grill-out or whatever. But I dont go out of my way to consume I.E. I dont voluntarily put it on sandwhiches/salads etc.

Also- back on the Insanity train. Enjoying the endurance kick

hmmm

what are your meals like?

i'm pretty interested

Been making some of this stuff when I feel like doing something for real

But I also follow a lot of instagram plant based athletes and such that share cool things.
Acai bowls and stuff




But for the most part, I've just been enjoying food as it is.
Breakfast = Oatmeal with walnuts/brazil nuts/raisins/honey/cinnamon

Snack: watermelon/orange/banana/kiwi/Jackfruit/blueberries/Dates/Figs

Lunch: Salad with fruit and veggies, avocado etc
Can make some really legit dressing with avocado and lemon squeeze but i mostly dont even bother i just dump it all in a bowl lol


Trying to use spices like Tumeric/Cinnamon really anything and everything if it's real food.

where's the protein coming from though?

Beans, nuts, grains like , veggies have proteins too albeit not colossal amounts like meat. Beans have more protein per X than most meat anyways. And I eat the odd chicken breast now and then.
And you get enough protein I promise. A lot of this "protein" thing, I feel, is big business anyways.
Does Jay cutler need masses of protein, sure.
Do any of us (general statement) no.

I get plenty


In short- my goals are Frank Medrano goals. Not Jay cutler.
If you don't know who Frank Medrano is look him up. Incredible weight movement per body weight. Doesn't eat meat.


This 300 pound NFL player made the switch and Shazam, his recovery is great and aches are "gone"

Probably could just reap the benefits by just eating more fruits and veggies instead of like cheese-its
But I enjoy it... For now

Really the best thing to do is simplify it.
You can make an entire meal out of a watermelon. No cooking skills required.
Have five bananas or a bunch of oranges and kiwis etc.
Simple- and no cooking

I follow this dude "plant based athlete" and his breakfast is usually 10 oranges or some type of citrus.
