Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Hi everyone!

My name is Jase and I'm from Malaysia - a lovely multiracial country in Asia.

I've been a vegetarian since childhood because I born in a vege family. I'm proud of being a vegetarian!!
I just started workouts at gym with my friends last two month and I've tried hard to workout at least three times a week. My goal now is to lose more fat to shape my body and hope to get some advice from here.

l'm looking forward meet other vegans who have same interest with me in this forum. Really excited to chat with and learn from you all!

This model is my fitness goal, I wish to have this kind of body soon.

Ummm.. I like your fitness goal. lol

Welcome Jase. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Welcome to the group!

Hi Jase welcome to the group. quick question is that your real picture because if it is you already look as fit as the model you are trying to look like? Lots of before and after pictures here on the forum. Check through the journal section for more motivation.

HI, Jase.

I'm jealous as hell of all that fresh tropical fruit you have available in Malaysia. Welcome.

C.O. : I used that model picture just for the sake of inspiration and motivation for me. It urged me to workout harder.

Baby Hercules : Haha, I love all the tropical fruits and foods here, remember to try all of it when you have the chance to visit Malaysia.

Just send me a ticket, I'm packed and ready. What's a fruit that you love that we probably can't get here in the US very well?

Baby Herc

Welcome if you really do.

Well, the fruit I love the most is Durian, I love the unusual flavor and odor of Durian very well. But I know most Americans hate that smell, have you tried before?



Another favorite fruit that probably can't get in US would be Mangosteen. It really taste good and special, you should really try the Mangosteen here, I love it too!




That's our King (Durian) and Queen (Mangosteen) fruit here.

Jase, those look so tempting. I love tasting new things. We have an Asian import market here in Portland, Oregon, that has fresh Durian. I liked the smell despite how everyone warned me about it. How do you prepare it? Or do you just eat both fruits raw most of the time?

Baby Herc

Yes, We just eat it fresh and raw.
There are nothing to worry about basically, except that you have to drink more water after you eat Durian, just in case you get sick.

?! I wasn't aware of that. I was just warned that the aroma could be a put off, no one said anything about getting sick. Hmmm. Durian may be off my list, now. Too, bad, because it sure does have a lot of goodies in it, especially a bizarre high concentration of protein and vitamin C: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fru ... ces/2088/2

Baby Herc

Well, I never heard that before - aroma could be a put off.
You will get sick only if you eat too much Durian, so it's better to drink more water, this is just my advice.
Sad to heard that, Durian is really a nutritional fruit, maybe you should try another fruits then.
