EliteDad Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Ok so I have been reading alot of journals and logs on the site and it seems to me that I am eating way too much?? I am already cut out the eggs no more of them for me as well, that was the only other thing besides the whey protein that I was having a hard time of giving up, hopefully everyone will give me their insite on my routines?? Thanks for everyones help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Diet and workout looks pretty good. I've never used whey so I can't really answer your question on that. I really like VEGA if your looking for something to replace it with. Also Sun Warrior rice protein is pretty good too. If your trying to go vegan (not sure if you are or not) you can replace the egg white breakfast with a tofu scramble. Basically scrambled tofu with spices and veggies. It looks a lot like eggs. Still good protein content. If you want to give a shot let me know and i will send a recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopussoir Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I dont think the whey will hurt you, but it wont give you an advantage either. I used to get massive headaches from whey when I would take in 300-400g a day. Just felt like it was drying my brain out. Never felt like that on plant-based protein. Glad to see you are starting a journal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteDad Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Thanks you two, Yes I am trying to go completely VEGAN, used my last eggs yesterday, and like I said the only thing I will be using now that I am not sure about is the Whewy Protein, When is is gone I am going to order some of the Sun Warrior Ptrotein from the Vegan Bros in arms!!! Also just not loosing the gut like I want, but I guess that will come!! I am Loving this new life style, and will start the official LOG tomorrow!!! So like I said, any critizisim is appreciated!!!

Octopussoir Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 1 serving protein powder Pre-workout and 2 servings Post-workout. Who the hell eats celery anymore? Lol I cant stand the taste. 1/4cup of oats not enough to start your day unless you competing in a BBing contest! Id go for at least 1/2 - a full cup. Workouts seems decent. Id recommend you combine your shoulders with legs. You shouldnt have just a shoulder day IMO. Waste of time. My shoulders fucking rock when pumped and I never have a full workout dedicated to them. 5 sets a good rule to have on workouts. I like that.

lobsteriffic Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 What kind of rice protein did you get? The only one I can find in Saskatoon is Nutribiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteDad Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 What kind of rice protein did you get? The only one I can find in Saskatoon is Nutribiotic. Yeah that is the brand that I got, chocolate, they had another brand but it didn't look as good, will try it and see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 What do you think of it? It took me some getting used to. It's kind of chalky and not sweet at all. It reminds me of the unsweetened baking chocolate... I've been using it for about a month now and it's grown on me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the unsweetened baking chocolate... I've been using it for about a month now and it's grown on me though. Today will be my first day of using it I will let you know, but I am thinking of going ahead and getting a vanilla or a berry flavor and using it to make me a shake with my oatmeal and frozen berries in the mornings!!

lobsteriffic Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yeah I was thinking of trying out the vanilla when my chocolate runs out. Or maybe I should just get some now and then I can switch up the flavours. I think vanilla would be better in a shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteDad Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yeah me too, I got One of the 1 serving packages of vanilla, that is what I am trying before my workout will let you know how it is!!! But I amgoong to go ahead and get a vanilla one just so I can have something different on hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veginator Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Congrats on the PR's! Your diet looks great! Thanks girl I appreciate it, so the diet is good??? I have been trying different things, and now have cut out the eggs for the past 4 days, now the only thing left to cut out is the cottage cheese, and my whey protein!!! Don't forget the honey. A great substitute for that (better for you since it's low glycemic index, as well as not being an animal product) is agave nectar. Congratulations on the progress you've made so far!

MaryStella Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I agree i find rice protein to be chalky like baking chocolate. I find mixing mine with hemp milk adds some nice healthy fat to it. I just put a little hemp milk and then water or coconut water for most of the liquid. and I agree agave really helps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I blend it with a banana and some soy milk. It's actually pretty good (well..... better....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
