Wow!! Great video. Love all of the advice especially about the gym and not to be worried about other people. As a woman that’s important advice to hear!! All of the nutrition advice was great as well.

Glad you enjoyed our video!

[@jasonjones5083]

So I really enjoy the Buff Dudes channel for a lot of reasons (comedy, good education on form/etc when I got into weight training, the one guy who is a young dad like me) - and they did a “we tried vegan” episode that was a bit of a let down. They seem like sincerely cool guys and I wonder if y’all could collaborate/do a video sometime debunking/correcting some of the issues they encountered on their attempt at vegan. Thanks for your content and more importantly for your example of eating clean and staying strong.

[@codeykamal5337]

@ 5:03 what a badass dude, working out with 1 arm. Dude is the coolest guy in the gym.

[@dasadhish3046]

Loved the video, watched game changers then shifted to vegan from almost a month now, feels amazing on gym , recovery and all. But i was feeling kinda low cause everywhere on social media these buff gym guys consuming meat and sharing tips, watching this video gave me more discipline that I'm on right track. And thanks Nimai you're awesome

[@scienceislove2014]

It takes a ton of hard work to get where you guys are.. bless you

[@lindsaytoussaint]

Great content. I learned this over the past few years in the gym, I had such misconceptions about the gym bros/gym culture etc. The reality is that it’s for everyone who has a body and very few people judge in the gym - the ones who do are rarely in there themselves (ironically).

[@yashz]

I’d love to collab with Derek again. He just needs to come back to LA!

Great advice video guys! It will be very interesting to see how many new competitors will be vegan in the coming years!

[@turo3066]

Great vid. The alleged gym drama documented on social media is overstated. I travel a lot around the country and world for work and pleasure and have been to many chain gyms and independently owned. I have NEVER witnessed or experienced problematic behavior or attitudes. Most serious gym rats are helpful to noobies. Of course there are problematic people everywhere. But I think too many insecure people project and anticipate bad energy and then post on social media what they manifest for clout and attention.

[@Lozwave]

1: Make sure you take into account all MACRO + MICRO nutrients / All AMINO ACIDS with WHOLE plant foods, from a WIDE VARIETY of legumes, vegetables, grains and fruit. (4 power plate) + nuts and seeds if you want. 2: Then introduce supplements for contingency/ safety net. (B12 etc etc) How? It's this simple: the only "hard" part is using cronometer. You put in the foods you are eating (which most likely are registered on the database) and see if your daily intake meets all your RDA's and reaches a high enough calorie count for building muscle.. based on your body information and based on your goals. If you are lacking in certain areas then you can play around by adding other foods into the mix, maintain variety, you will slowly begin to understand. Most people on normal standard diets fail to meet all their RDA's, if you have the patience to do this, it will make your life so much easier in the long run.

[@peacelovevegan7162]

Hi guys thank you for sharing with us ! I just wanted to add my point of view , when you're saying that you have to work and count macros and be consistent , i think that we also should be flexible and take it easy sometimes , so that we can appreciate more the practice and not making it difficult

[@NazgulGamer1]

Great vid - especially on gym advice. I’ve never been phased by gym culture but it could be very intimidating if you have never been. All I can say is go do a 1 week free trail, your local gym love yo have you and you’ll find a great place to be yourself.

[@Climategyan]

Great video .. can you please also tell us about the diet plan and gym exercises

[@beastvg123]

I never got the Vegan flu, I wonder why that is, considering I went cold turkey from constantly eating BBQ. Maybe I wasn't eating enough fruits and vegetables beforehand, so I just had more energy as a result of picking up that habit.

[@inferno2285]

At 1:17 I agree with eveything basically but the thing about complete protiens. Plant based protients are incomplete protiens

[@hannahmitchell87]

Most, not all but it's irrelevant anyway as nobody is only eating one type of plant. Get a variety & a decent amount of total protein & you'll be grand

[@SMF89]

The amino acid composition in a vegan diet is not fallacy, per se. It is true that there is a lower percentage of a complete A.A. profile, and a couple like Methionine, need to be monitored and compensated for so you don't tear and strain yourself, leading to injury.

[@DecvsJapan]

What’s a good workout plan and meal plan for someone just starting ?

[@WhiteKitta]

Over 22 years Vegan now...ZERO health problems and I have tones of energy and I am very strong, ....I will never go back!. ... SO I have edit my comment here because for some reason KZbin does not let me respond to the question I got ...(maybe its too long?).... here is my answer : I have zero deficiencies... and I get myself tested every year. B-12 is very important and in case you don't know B12 is not a vitamin but a bacteria.... I get my B-12 mainly from the Elevated Biotics a special probiotic film (microorganisms) that covers the leaves and skins of fruits and vegetables.... they cover the above-ground surfaces of raw, unwashed (or lightly rinsed) plant foods. this is how we all use to get our B-12...And unlike factory-produced probiotics and soil borne organisms, elevated biotics are able to survive your digestive process and make it to your ileum, the final section of your small intestinal tract that creates the vitamin B12. ever since I started eating my own grown unwashed herbs I have always gotten perfect level of b-12 on my yearly tests.

@@NimaiDelgado thank you. I have soya based products for breakfast and lunch and then Seitan for dinner (luckily my wife doesn’t mind making Seitan fresh each day #blessed) usually so I get a balance/variety. Keep doing what your doing brother it inspires us to keep moving forward. 👍

What about ... anti-nutrients? How to wrok around it and get most benefits out of veg?

Over time the gut microbiome learns to break down these anti nutrients. I guess I don't need to say that you need a pretty healthy gut microbiome to build muscle and maintain it.

Thanks for the advice

[@arigumora]

I tracked my calories and ate Whole Foods and felt so horrible for months and months and only felt better when I went back to eating meat. Any help? I’d rather be vegan

[@its_caraina]

Make sure to track your macro/micronutrients as well. Someone mentioned using a Cronometer which lets you track your meals and see which nutrients/compounds your meals are deficient in. Obviously, the biggest thing vegans suffer from is low protein which can be fixed with proper plant proteins (peanut butter, tofu/tempeh/seitan, legumes, quinoa) AND protein powders which you can add to your smoothies, pancakes, oatmeal, etc). Then it's also good to get some supplements such as well B12 and general multivitamins). In the long run, It'll be good to look up high-protein meals here on KZbin for good ideas. But it's good to keep experimenting and finding out what your body needs.

[@hannahmitchell87]

Can you define horrible? What exactly was wrong? Did your calories stay the same when you reincorporated meat? Or did you stop tracking? The reply above had good advice

[@arigumora]

hey man! I had my macros pretty locked in too just because im into body building so i know i was getting in enough protein and what not, and I was super anal about making sure I was getting all the correct vitamins and minerals. I had b12 as well. Idk, I honestly tried everything just because even to this day meat is disgusting to me, but I can't deny the fact that my stomach just digests it better and makes better use of the nutrients. I truly think it's a person to person thing, and I'm planning on eventually leaning back into atleast being vegetarian. This time I'm going to do it gradually instead of trying to make a sudden change. And by horrible, I had constant bloating, lose stools, extemely low energy to the point of not being able to do simple tasks (got in a car accident), super high anxiety, joint and body pain and increased pain from workouts, slow recovery from workouts, chronic shortness of breathe (this was the main thing fucking me up). There were some plus sides though, food was generally cheaper, i guess that's about it. I also just had over all brain fog. It all went away literally within the first week or so of eating meat again... I have no idea what that's about scientifically or psycologically but I don't care because I don't have time to be not able to function lol @@hannahmitchell87

[@hannahmitchell87]

@arigumora that sounds brutal! Is it possible you had an allergy/ sensitivity to something you added in when going plant based that you hadn't eaten before? If not, some of your symptoms could be linked to a sudden increase in fiber? Or weight loss/undereating/poor nutrient absorption (all of which would be plausible as a result of the above) Did you notice any difference between calories & macros across your diet shifts? Ie omni to vegan to omni? Have you ever had anxiety before? Did that come after your car accident?

[@VeganYeshua]

What made you go from Vivo to Vedge? 💛 I need to buy some quality protein 😅

[@NimaiDelgado]

I left Vivo for a lot of reasons which I won’t go into, but mainly to create my own brand aka Vedge Nutrition. I wanted full control of the products, formulas, flavors, sourcing, etc. instead of pushing someone else’s products, company, & vision. Give It a try and let me know what you think. 🙏🏻
