Thinking about skipping out on meat and dairy? Going vegan is becoming increasingly more common, but is it actually good for you?

What happens to your body when you go vegan?

Thinking of making the jump to a vegan diet? You’re not alone.

In your first few weeks, you may feel especially tired. Without meat, vegans often have a hard time getting enough vitamin B12 and iron, which helps make red blood cells and transport oxygen throughout the body. But it’s nothing a supplement or handful of nuts can’t fix.

You may also discover that foods don’t taste the way they used to. That’s because your zinc levels have taken a hit, affecting your overall sense of taste and smell.

On the plus side, expect to lose some weight right away! After switching, new vegans lost an average of 10 pounds over a 10 month period. Plus, a 2009 study found that average BMI was lower for vegans than all other diets.

Another benefit that you may experience is a healthy decrease in cholesterol, blood pressure, and heart disease risk. In 1999, a study showed that vegans were 24% less likely to have clogged arteries from saturated fat and cholesterol.

While your arteries are better off, your bones may not be. If you’re like most Americans who get their daily calcium from dairy products, you may see a dip in calcium levels.

But you can combat this simply by boosting your intake of kale, broccoli, and other leafy greens. Plus, cutting out dairy might make you more … regular. 60% of humans don’t have the enzyme to properly digest lactose in dairy. The result is cramping, bloating, and even diarrhea. Swapping dairy with high fiber veggies will make bathroom trips a lot more productive.

Like any diet, veganism has its pros and cons. Be sure to research and see which diet is best for you.

Introduction to a Vegan Diet For Muscle Building (0:54)

Before we look at the exact foods for a vegan muscle building diet, it’s important that you also make sure that you’re on the right muscle building training program to see the best muscle gains. So in this section, we’re going to give you some of the basics of a muscle-building training program.

How to Set Your Muscle Building Protein Target (2:26)

Whether you’re eating a plant-based meal plan or not, the first focus for a bodybuilding diet is to lock in your protein target. Proteins are the building blocks of muscle gains, and we recommend getting around 0.8g-1g of protein per pound of bodyweight daily. From this target, it will be much easier to work in your protein foods for the day, along with your carbs and fats. And this is especially important for a vegan bodybuilding diet as protein sources are a little more scarce.

How Many Meals To Eat Each Day (3:24)

As with any diet, there are a variety of ways that we can approach scheduling out your meals for the day, in terms of both timing and amount. As long as you’re hitting both your protein and calorie targets for the day, it really comes down to what is going to the most convenient for your schedule. As you’ll discover in this video, for a vegan muscle building diet, we recommend eating around 4 meals per day so you can spread out your protein intake.

Calorie Target for a Vegan Bodybuilding Diet (4:11)

Another important consideration for your vegan bodybuilding diet is, of course, determining your daily caloric intake. Because if you’re underrating, your muscle gains will suffer, and in this video, we will help you determine your daily calorie target for building muscle.

Meals for a Vegan Bodybuilding Diet (5:17)

Again, there’s a fair amount of variety here based upon your daily schedule, but to help get you started, we lay out a basic vegan meal based around the 4 meal setup that we discussed previously. In this section of the video, you’ll also discover some of the best vegan foods for a bodybuilding diet.

FAQ’s- Vegan Bodybuilding Diet (8:09)

In this section, you’ll discover answers to some of the most common questions and concerns when it comes to a vegan muscle building diet. You’ll discover whether or not the proteins from a vegan diet are equivalent to an omnivorous diet, how to supplement your nutrition with some of the key muscle-building nutrients that you might be missing out on, and whether or not soy will negatively impact your testosterone levels and muscle gains.

I give a breakdown of how I feed my cat a nutritionally complete vegan diet to keep him healthy and happy.

Dr Michael Greger - How Not To Die

Michael Herschel Greger (born 1972) is an American physician, author, and professional speaker on public health issues, particularly the benefits of a whole foods, plant-based, healthy diet and the harms of eating animal products.

In his lectures, videos, and writings about nutrition he tries to persuade people to change their eating habits from a Western pattern diet to a whole foods, plant-based, healthy diet—optimally to vegan diet—and says that such a diet can prevent and reverse many chronic diseases. He is critical of other doctors for not challenging their patients to adopt plant-based diets and to avoid animal-based products and criticises the US government for giving watered-down advice about healthy eating in its guidelines, in order to protect the economic interests of food producers—especially those who make junk food or produce animal-based food.

Many people, especially animal lovers, choose to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. But is it possible to make your cat a vegan? Well we have to remember that cats are devout carnivores - and our own thoughts and opinions about animal products can't really battle the years and years of evolution at play here.

There is evidence that diets with no or low levels of animal products may be better for the environment and have human health benefits. And a recent study found a growing number of pet owners are feeding their dogs and cats vegetarian or vegan diets, or would like to do so.

However, meat-free diets can potentially kill or sicken pets!

Dr. Gary Richter loves animals, and is passionate about keeping them healthy and happy as long as possible. He has received more than 30 awards due to his expertise in the field, and The American Veterinary Medical Foundation recently named Dr. Richter “America’s Favorite Veterinarian.” Dr. Richter has been at the forefront of pet nutrition for two decades, and he is also the author of the bestselling “The Ultimate Pet Health Guide.”

The Power of Plant-Based Eating

Dr. Joanne Kong; The Power of Plant-Based Eating

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Hong Kong vegan shop owner Wilson Wong explains why he and his pet cat and dog are thriving without eating any meat or animal products.

Animal food production is a major factor in the acceleration of climate change, responsible for over 18% of greenhouse gas emissions – more than all modes of transport combined – while animal agriculture is responsible for 91% of destruction in the Amazon.

D-Fuse proposes an exploration of our planet’s fragility and the effects of man-made climate change, taking inspiration from Charles and Ray Eames’ film, Powers of Ten and the Relative Size of Things in the Universe, which illustrates the cosmos as an arena of continuity and change, using the system of exponential powers to visualize the importance of scale. Powers of Vegan adapts this concept to highlight the disastrous impact of humanity’s energy, water usage and food production models. Key to doing so is the creation of 360-video content offering viewers a fully immersive VR experience at each stage of a fantastic voyage... ...A close-up of a cow eating grass that pulls back to first reveal the extent of deforestation across the Amazon Rainforest, then our planet as a vulnerable speck within the universe; the destructiveness and insignificance of mankind is, hence, made painfully clear, suggesting that, unless we become better stewards of the Earth, its resources will soon be depleted, forcing us to seek a new stellar home.

Contining this journey at a 10-to-the-tenth metres per second, the audience returns from deep space to Earth, homing in on the cow again, entering its blood stream while viewing data visualisations of just how harmful current farmng systems can be, as well as positive messages promoting change.

In 1998, Powers of Ten was preserved in the United States’ Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” We intend this work to be equally enlightening, ensuring that the audience’s VR experience is interactive, meaningful and thrilling throughout, so that they might further reflect on the issues ‘dramatised’ long after it has ended.

D-Fuse’s pedigree as creators of experimental documentary content will ensure that high quality outcomes are delivered on-time and in-budget, previous works – notably the Small Global installations, which translated data about consumption into an immersive environment – having been shown at events including Sonar, Eyebeam and TriBeCa Film Festival and Prix Ars Electronica . Of further relevance to this proposal are the Carbon Crisis Blipverts, a series of animations exploring aspects of global warming, the Deforestation Blipvert forming part of Al Gore's current An Inconvenient Truth presentation.
