This thread is dedicated to bodybuilding diets. Everyone can add their experience, tips, advice on how to gain muscle and/or lose bodyfat. Later maybe i'll split the topic, but for now, let's have both in one. Feel free to add your ideas. It's possible that you have different opinions on things, but please don't discuss in this thread. The purpose of this thread is to be a source of information on vegan BB diets. For a start, here are my thoughts on BB diet.

Just a question if my mental health might disqualify me from a CCW. I've been on the same psychiatric medication for 20 years, never been adjudicated as mentally "defective", have two college degrees, a successful career, no drugs, no alcohol, no criminal record, excellent credit, married, no kids, and no speeding tickets for the last five years. I purchased the pistol I want to get a CCW license for with no issues. When I filled out the questionnaire I marked down "Yes" for the mental health question, and explained that I had received counseling for the passing of a loved one several months ago. The text box on the application had a character limit, otherwise I guess I c…

Hi, As I feel a bit worried right now, I thought you could reassure me The thing is that I can't workout without feeling dizzy and out of breath after every set since 6 weeks. Exactly the same feeling you have when you would run upstairs 3 levels really quickly just after waking up, you know what I mean? It started during a period of intense professional stress and pressure so I thought it was connected to it, but as my professional life is calming down, I still have the problem. I checked my blood pressure after training but it's normal. I also don't think it has to do with the carbs (I just started reducing them a bit to lose fat): as the symptoms started, I was e…

Hi everyone, I've been considering therapy for my anxiety, and I'm wondering if anyone here has any insights or recommendations. I've heard about the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety management, but I'm unsure where to start or what to expect. Are there specific types of therapy that have worked well for you? Also, I came across a website while researching options—has anyone used their services or found useful resources there? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello guys, I have been eating about 60% raw in form of fruits and vegetables and thinking about taking it to the next level. I am also trying to build my body by loosing fat and gaining more lean muscles( right now I am at about 18% body fat for 160lbs). I was looking around and came across Juice Feasting by Angela Stokes. I wanted to do this feasting, but it says I cannot work out untill I am into 45 days of feasting. I emailed Matt Monarch of rawspirit.org and he recommended to talk with Dr Fred Bisci. Seems like Fred has worked with lot of athletes and lifters. My main goals are to incorporate more green juices/raw food into my regimen and still workout 6 days/week…

Hey everyone, Lately, I've been contemplating the intricacies of relationships and stumbled upon an interesting concept: the Relationship Wheel Picker Question. Essentially, it's a tool to navigate the dynamics within relationships. The idea is to imagine a wheel with various aspects of a relationship—communication, trust, intimacy, etc. Then, if you could only choose three aspects to prioritize, which would they be? I find this question thought-provoking because it prompts reflection on what truly matters in our connections with others. It's fascinating to see how different priorities can shape and define relationships. What are your thoughts? Which aspects wou…

So I broke my 5th Metacarpal in my left hand in a crash last Sunday (10 days ago) Had it xrayed, 2 fractures and a clean brake but none displaced, couldn't have surgery as the pieces were all smashed up and nothing substantial left to pin or wire up. Its been 10 days now, pains gone and I can move my little finger again, swellings nearly all gone but when I take my (half) cast off its obvious I've lost at least 5mm of my finger length. Basically, I'm wondering how long before others who had similar injury's have been able to ride DH like this https://doctor.global/blog/metacarpal-fractures-comprehensive-guide-to-treatment-and-recovery/? Docs are ok at being vague…

"If you need a week off from the gym take it. Every 8-10 weeks I take a complete week off and usually I don't do cardio. If I did a growth scheme workout last then I'll probably do light cardio the week I take off. But taking a complete week off is necessary if you train hard. It is a mental and physical break that everyone needs." well, I am on about a MONTH of an "off day/week" because of the bicycle accident, I don't want to lose muscle mass, but at the same time I dont want to gain unnecessary fat. hm hm. I'm going to be trying to do a "low carb" thing, but its interesting. the lower carb the lower calories and I dont want to go TOO low. people who have take…

Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to the area and looking for recommendations on a good weed dispensary nearby. I've heard there are several options, and I want to make an informed choice. What factors do you consider when selecting a dispensary? Are there any specific places you've had positive experiences with in terms of product variety, quality, or customer service? I'm particularly interested in hearing about places that offer a welcoming atmosphere for newcomers. Any insights you can share would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this new aspect of the community.

Hey all. I have come to very much respect and appreciate the insight and (majority) of opinions on here. As mentioned in my introductory post, I kind of "have" cancer. It's a skin cancer (malignant melanoma, the one that CAN kill people...) that was excised (cut out) a bit over a year ago. I've had two ct scans since then, but my oncologist has wanted me to get a petscan since this whole thing happened. The surgery went fine, my sentinal node (the closest node to the site of the cancer- if the cancer is in there, it's bad news...) came back negative and subsequent scans have shown no new growth. So, now I need to get another scan. The Ctscans are covered by my insu…

While I'm quite familiar with traditional wines and their characteristics, I must admit that I'm relatively new to the world of non-alcoholic alternatives. My question pertains to the taste and quality of non-alcoholic wines compared to their alcoholic counterparts. Specifically, I'm curious to hear about your experiences with non-alcoholic wines. Have you found them to be satisfactory substitutes for traditional wines in terms of flavor, aroma, and overall enjoyment? Are there any particular brands or varieties that sta…

Hey everyone, I have a question about something that's been on my mind lately, and I was hoping to get some insight from this wonderful community. I've been researching about implantation bleeding and its potential signs and symptoms. From what I understand, implantation bleeding can occur when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine lining, typically around 6-12 days after conception. However, I'm a bit confused about what exactly constitutes implantation bleeding. I've read various accounts online, some describing it as light spotting, while others mention it as more akin to a light period. Can anyone share their personal experiences with implantation bleeding? …
