I have been contemplating doing this for a couple years now. Going to do a week or month at some point this year to get my toe in the water. I know the benefits and I am super spiritual so it will only further that.
Just tough as a 30 year old that has always been hitting the gym and trying to keep his protein up, lol. But I have cut back dramatically and have seen amazing improvements in how I feel. Slightly worried I will lose another 30 pounds. :|
Great post @heart-to-heart!
Hey @bitdollar, if you have instagram check out some of these guys for inspiration jonvenus, dmzthompson, torre.washington, conscious_muscle and come back to me! ;)
In my experience, my spirituality increased dramatically as another benefit that I didn't even anticipate at the beginning to be honest :)
So, I was at a dinner party with some higher profile vegans at a vegan festival and they were discussing losing weight. Some of them did but it was because they weren't taking in the proper nutrients they needed. I haven't lost weight but I have a hard time gaining weight usually... with a plant based diet, I gain the muscle mass I need as long as I am still putting in the training/gym time ;) I think that's key.
Check those profiles out and let me know what you think because they sure are not lacking muscle <3
This guys are jacked! Thanks so much for recommending them to me, I will do much more research on what they are doing.
My spirituality is really the most important thing so I can't wait to get more connected with that. :)
I am forever grateful to you and will keep you posted when I get the ball rolling!!
They are really good at detailing their meals/workout plans etc. I think the vegan movement is really supportive of one another and trying to help each other reach their weight and overall fitness goals :) Happy to be able to share!
You know, I am forever grateful to you as well for giving me the opportunity to help <3 I wish you the best of luck and will hold you to the updates =D
Awesome! Sounds great! Have a fabulous day and week!
