What Music gets you pumped up for training?
seitan_man replied to Bigbwii's topic in Bodybuilding/Strength Training
Black Sabbath Motley Crue -
So what is the 'best' vegan protein then, in terms of PDCAAS etc? Soy, in the form of tempeh? Or pumpkin seeds? Maybe a manufactured protein powder? Eric Carlson stated peanuts had the highest protein content per 100g according to his guide I bought online.

I'm still not convinced that soy isolate is healthy.

Dumbell bench press lying on floor?
seitan_man replied to seitan_man's topic in Bodybuilding/Strength Training
Thanks for the responses, I think the original article I read was discussing the best ways to directly target the pecs and stressed using heavy, slow reps from the floor position. -
I read somewhere that this was a killer exercise to develop a big chest, laying flat on the floor and lifting the weights from that position. Is this true, or is using a bench better?

Are all vegans taking B12 supplements to cover its RDI ?
seitan_man replied to awayguy's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
Never take 'supplements' per se, but I drink fortified soy milk most days either as a milkshake or on cereal etc. -
Gaining muscle mass and eating vegan
seitan_man replied to googoo's topic in Bodybuilding/Strength Training
It's just an example of a vegan 'muscle building' meal plan, not what I actually eat. I'd be interested to learn what your simple meal plan looks like though. -
"Internet forums are driving me freaking crazy!"
seitan_man replied to sosso's topic in General Discussion
I am getting less and less interested in internet forums as time goes by, I find they are filled with so many inflated egos, conflicting information and can make a person more confused about a topic than when they first started. -
Is soy isolate not unhealthy though?

Gaining muscle mass and eating vegan
seitan_man replied to googoo's topic in Bodybuilding/Strength Training
My advice would be wait for Robert Cheek's book to be released, then follow his advice on diet and training and you should be able to create a decent, muscular body on a vegan diet. Also try eating this: THE NO-MEAT MENU THIS ONE-DAY VEGAN PLAN WILL HELP YOU BUILD MUSCLE AND BURN FAT BREAKFAST OATMEAL 1 cup oats (measured dry) 1/4 cup walnuts 1/4 cup raisins 8 oz soy milk MID AFTERNOON SNACK SHAKE 1 1/2 servings of Vega meal-replacement powder 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries and blueberries) MIDMORNING SNACK SHAKE 1 1/2 servings of Vega meal-replacement powder 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries and blueberries) DINNER LENTIL STEW 1 1/2 cups lentils (measured cooked) 1 cup barley (measured cooked) 2 cups broccoli LUNCH VEGETARIAN BURGERS 2 Boca Burgers with lettuce, tomato, and onion 1 whole-grain pita 8 oz yam NIGHTTIME SNACK PB&J SANDWICH 2 tbsp natural peanut butter 2 tbsp All Fruit Spread 2 slices whole-grain bread 8 oz rice milk 2 tbsp rice protein powder TOTALS 3,560 calories 216 grams protein 510 grams carbs 73 grams fat -
Can't say I've ever seen a raw foodist who looked anything than super healthy. Surely a variety of seeds, nuts, sprouted grains, flax, nutritional yeast, algaes and berries such as goji and acai can cover protein bases? The guys over at Organic Athlete, Charlie Abel, Tonya Kay, Brendan Brazier and Giacomo Marchese are in great shape following a raw diet.

What is a vegan alternative to greek yogurt??
seitan_man replied to trying2bvegan's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
Why not buy plain soy yogurt? The stuff I have tried tastes very much like Greek Yogurt, minus the nastiness of dairy. -
What's your favorite quick breakfast?
seitan_man replied to Theresaann's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
Big bowl of oatmeal with added chopped banana, seeds and cinnamon. With soymilk. -
In terms of fitness, hopefully 2010 will be the year I finally build a decent body on a vegan diet. I've been lifting weights today and I'm even going to buy a treadmill. When Robert's book comes out I am going to follow what he says to eat and hopefully combined with hard training and self belief I will finally achieve a decent body, something I have failed to do for over three years.

Building Mass on mostly raw foods
seitan_man replied to Sorriso's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
Maybe someone could help the guy by posting a few sample daily meal plans? -
Get a new husband.

New Documentry: The Milk Documentry Trailer
seitan_man replied to beforewisdom's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
Looks great, will look forward to the movie being released. Hopefully it will reach a wide audience. -
It is a shame it wasn't released beofre the end of 2009 but I will order a copy just as soon as it is released, really looking forward to *finally* having a vegan bodybuilding guide to read and work from.

Cheesy nutritional yeast sauce recipes?
seitan_man replied to socalfusions's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
I would strongly recommend getting the Uncheese Cookbook by Joanne Stepaniak. Plenty of 'cheesy' recipes in there. -
I've seen far easier methods elsewhere on the web actually.

I like a decaf soy latte every once in a while.

seitan_man replied to PMA's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
awesome, I have some tvp I need to use and I had no clue what to do with it, I'm making this asap This sounds great, what exactly are 'crushed' tomatoes? Tomato puree? Any idea of the amounts of the different ingredients?
