As far as I know, the fat in olive oil/olives, avocado, nuts, peanutbutter and tahini etc. increases testosterone. And food with much zinc, such as beans, whole grains, spinach etc.

I'm Norwegian - but I'm also 1/4 danish, 1/16 swedish with some German blood waaay back (well, only 300 years).

DV, you could try barbell hack squats http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Quadriceps/BBHackSquat.html

really? Well, I eat a great amount of fat (healthy fat, that is) , and I can't say that I'm fat... It's more like "fat burns fat" than "if you eat fat you'll fet fat". (sorry to take the discussion a little off-topic, but I just wanted to comment )

what? honey... isn't vegan? new to me. vegetarian, then? sorry....

you could take some tablespoon of honey and mix it with water and drink it instead of coffee - that would "jump start" your day

you could try quorn - see quorn.com that would be a good alternative to soy-based food. edit: oh... it contains egg. so maybe not...

Hey I've heard that the liver can only handle 70 grams of fructose. Is there any truth to this? Seems like a lot of people here have eaten a lot of fruit without becoming obese.... So - this talk about fructose - is it a myth?

Hey I'm kinda new (or rather newly returned) to vegetarian diet, and I was wondering about soy. I've heard that soy lowerers testosterone - and that doesn't sound cool considering that I want to add some muscles to my skeleton-frame. Anyone here on the forum that knows anything about this?

check out intermittent fasting. it's quite interesting: www.leangains.com

Well, recovering from exhaustion, I sleep 10-12 hours. and I've been thinking about night-time catabolism. It doesn't sound right, 'cause you'll always have stored energy in your liver. So your body won't start "eating" itself.

I have no plan of adding (to much) fat - some will come, I guess. But I'm planning on zig-zaging my kcals, as I've heard it will lead to less fat gain. And I only eat clean food. The other stuff ain't food.

Ok... the protein powder I use is whey (... well, that's all I have). Soy protein is quite expensive, and pea and hemp protein is literally unheard of here in Norway. So I'll stick with kesam and nuts until I can afford other alternatives.

Hello folks. I'm new here, and relativly new to the vegetarian lifestyle. Currently I'm eating lacto-veganic, but I'm planning on becoming vegan. Actually, I've only eaten lacto-veganic for two days and I feel better So my question; I try to bulk up (lean bulk, that is) - and in the other forums there are a widthspread fear of night-time catabolism. Usually people are adviced to eat protein-rich meals before they sleep, to prevent a catabolic period during night.. Is there any truth to this? And how do you solve it in a vegan way? Other than that, I'm looking forward to experience this new lifestyle. I hope it will do me well...
