Transition from flesh > vegetarian > vegan: I was vegetarian since 1970 and vegan since 1981. Back then, there were minimal substitutions; now they are abundant depending upon where someone lives. For example, near a Trader Joe's is fantastic. Transitions can be very different and much faster now when considering health, environment, spiritual and animal ethics. Best advice: go whole-food plant-based most of the time; allow some vegan junk foods only when you go out to socialize. Naturally, that strategy would change if socializing is the norm.
I did bodybuilding in my 30's.(over 20 yrs ago) I'd do 2 hours/day 6x/wk. I starting lifting at 14 & still lift 3-5 x/wk. I don't have the strength I had, especially my legs. My upper body still responds better & faster, like it used to.
This was so great! Forest is so knowledgeable and such a lovely guy! Thank you both for such amazing information 😁 Happy Easter from the Gold Coast, Australia 🤗
@abjkl Keep the quality of your nutrition is high (greens, potatoes, legumes, whole grains, a few seeds like chia) and by simply eating more greens, you'll lose weight and get LOTS of protein. You'll get more than you need, actually, by quite a wise margin, if you're eating lots of steamed greens and legumes. There is absolutely no reason to count macronutrients, if you understand the fundamental nature of the food you're eating.
@@CHEFAJ Thank you, I see it now! I just wanted a short, direct answer how to lose fat and gain muscle in the same time on vegan diet without measuring everything and looking for macros.
There are definitely some similarities between the two! One of the main differences is that bodybuilding requires a large amount of physical training and exertion, which is what makes it a sport rather than just a competition.

I wonder if he considers beauty pageants to be a sport, as they seem as sportly as body building to me.
