Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Thanks for answering my question.

Under your training videos can you post the exercises # sets and reps.
Thanks

How about a video of your grocery haul.

Awesome! I've been following your journal quite a lot recently, and something that's been on my mind is how did you start out weight training before you had a trainer? I've been weight lifting for about 3/4 months now, but I'm very aware that I could do more and progress much faster with a spotter. I'm the only woman in the gym who lifts though - and no men will want to spot me because at the moment I'm lifting much less weight than them, and can't afford a trainer...

KEEP THE QUESTIONS COMING!!! THANKS!

Thanks for the advice, I posted a comment/reply to you video to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNZssk_Izc8
What I said:
For myself I would like to get leaner looking just to look better.
So to sum it up:
1. Be patient and persistent
2. 1 gram protein for 1 lbs. of body weight
3. Lower carbs, not sure by how much or what’s a good amount?
4. Find current calories and reduce by what… 10-15%?
5. Weight training and high intensity cardio
6. Be patient and persistent

I would say reduce calories by 10% to start (after fats are about 20% of your calories, reduce the rest from carbs) and measure your progress weekly. Yes Weight training and HIIT cardio, but you can't really do more than 30 minutes a day so if you need to create a larger deficit if you hit a plateau then you should consider adding steady state cardio (incline treadmill walking or biking with resistance are what I would recommend). Thanks for watching and commenting!

What are you contest macros like? and how often does your trainer reduce calories?

Great question, and all the answers will be included in my "day of dieting meals video" that will be posted tomorrow!! Thank you!!

Great meals Video.

Has dieting for a show affected your body image at all? do you suffer from post comp blues?

just curious with your meals -- are you allowed unlimited greens, such as salad, broccoli, string beans, kale, etc

thanks for posting the videos

No I don't get unlimited anything. Every macro counts
