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.

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.”

I've been getting a lot of questions from you guys regarding going vegan. So I invited over my friend Teshia Maher to share with me and all of you her top 10 tips on how to become a vegan.

Teshia is a talented yoga instructor and a holistic nutritionist. I absolutely enjoyed chatting with her about her experience with transitioning to a vegan diet. One of my 2014 resolutions is to go vegan. And this time I want to do it in the healthiest way possible and to ensure that I transition with ease. I found Teshia's tips so helpful and I can't wait to implement them! :)

Even if you are not considering going vegan, I highly recommend you watch this video as Teshia shares very useful nutrition advices that can be translated into any diet.

So many people have asked what I feed Baby J to keep her thriving! As she continues to grow (and get more teeth) I'm sure the amount and variety of foods and textures she eats will grow. Here's what has worked for us.

Speak to your pediatrician before introducing foods to your baby, or if you have any concerns about your baby's diet or health. I'm not an expert in nutrition or children. I'm just another mom sharing what keeps my baby and my family healthy and happy 😄

Dr. Nun S. Amen Ra is a living testament to the power of intermittent fasting. He eats only one meal a day, eats no meat, yet has a warrior physique and is a world weight lifting champion. This inspirational video is so full of eye opening information about the vegan diet, maximum life extension, fasting, meditation, yoga, the dangers of glycation and how sugar ages the body. Eating less lengthens lifespan, where eating a lot shortens it. HGH human growth hormone is increased in the body when fasting. This is great inspiration for fat loss, healthy vegetarian diet, muscle building and how powerful the results can be when determination, focus, willpower and steadfastness can be attained. Amen-Ra eats beans, rice, grains, peanut butter and plant-based supplements and teas. For those interested in all natural drug-free bodybuilding, enjoy this super informative video!

There are several things you can do and things you need to know in order to promote life longevity. Fasting is healthy for you. You don’t have to animal products in order to have muscles. It’s important to eat healthy and exercise. Subjecting yourself to self imposed discipline is the surest way to increase the quality of your existence to you.


Many nutrition authorities, including the American Dietetic Association, believe protein needs can easily be met by consuming a variety of plant protein sources over an entire day. To get the best benefit from the protein you consume, it is important to eat enough calories to meet your energy needs.
Sugars age you.

Growing scientific evidence shows that eating too much added sugar is linked to serious diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and liver disease. Sugar Science is based on a comprehensive review of more than 8,000 scientific studies on the health impacts of sugar.

Nobody would mistake sugary soda for a health food, but a new study published in the American Journal of Public Health just found that a daily soda habit can age your immune cells almost two years.

Stay close to nature

Growing evidence suggests that close contact with nature brings benefits to human health and well-being, but the proposed mechanisms are still not well understood and the associations with health remain uncertain. The Positive Health Effects of the Natural Outdoor environment in Typical Populations in different regions in Europe, PHENOTYPE, project investigates the interconnections between natural outdoor environments and better human health and well-being.

Nimai Delgado is a vegan IFBB Professional Bodybuilder who has never eaten meat in his entire life. Not one bite. In this excerpt from our podcast he explains how he meets his protein needs.

Enjoy!

In this video, I spill my heart out about the huge dilemma I faced having gone vegan as a cat owner.

Sorry the picture is out of focus until about halfway through. No idea what happened? I didn't change anything? :/


*** Bio ***

I'm Paul Kerton. Personal Trainer, Vegan Nutritionist and Public Speaker. Not so long ago, in a misguided attempt to try and grow muscle as quickly as possible, I ended up eating more animal products than probably anyone you've ever met. Through research, I came to learn the deleterious effects that eating even quite trivial amounts of animal products has on one's health and through personal experience, I found that far from being a hindrance to sports performance, a well planned vegan diet is actually optimal! Then with an open heart, I looked at how we treat animals in order for them to end up on our plates and it shook me to the core. I could not believe that for so long I fell for the lies that others tell us, that we tell ourselves, in order that we perpetuate this destructive behaviour. Destructive to ourselves, the beautiful, intelligent sentient beings that are here with us and indeed our planet. To try and put right my part in all of this I was compelled to overcome my fear of being filmed for YouTube and television, appearing on the radio and more recently public speaking. On a spiritual level, I've come to realise that my fellow man too is suffering. If I won't see harm come to a chicken I've never met then why would I be unkind to my brothers? If someone is being aggressive or unkind toward me, surely the suffering inflicted on them in the past is simply spilling over? Do I want to add to that, or can I step out of my ego long enough to forgive them and maybe break the cycle of negativity? This former, quick to anger "meat-head" bouncer has been on one transformative journey!

Welcome (back) to my channel! In this video you will get a look into my sustainable art studio while I make my own vegan watercolour paint.

I started making vegan watercolour paint, because I have a line of vegan PhD theses with my company GreenThesis. I wanted to be able to offer completely vegan design too.

So why vegan watercolour paint? Regular watercolour paint uses a variety of animal-derived products. Most paints for example contain ox gall and/or glycerine made from animal fat. In my previous watercolour paint recipe I already eliminated these animal-based ingredients by using plant-based glycerine and skipping the ox gall altogether. However, I did use honey, which isn't vegan either, so I decided to also search for alternatives to honey, and I'm very happy with the results. In addition, I also don't use animal-derived pigments in my vegan paints (for example bone black, eggshell white, carmine and sepia). On a side note, paper also isn't necessarily vegan, because they are often sized using for example gelatin, made from animal bones. Thus I also searched for vegan paper alternatives and my favourite vegan paper to use for my vegan designs is now agave or bamboo paper by Hahnemuhle, which is certified vegan.

The paint I make today uses French ochre, basically soil, which I ground, sift and purify to get a fine pigment. The pigment is then used to make watercolour paint, using my own vegan watercolour binder.

I love making my own paint. It takes a lot of work for just one color, usually several hours if you make everything from scratch, but it is so satisfying, and it really lets you connect to the source of art, the raw materials. Fortunately, with watercolour paint, a little goes a long way, so the paint I make will last for months.

For those interested: for my vegan binder I used gum arabic, distilled water and vegetable glycerine (1:2:1 ratio), and a drop of clove oil as a natural preservative.

If you try your hand at making your own watercolour paint at home, please take the proper precautions, such as protective gear, and only use non-toxic materials. This video is meant as an inspirational video only.

We got two athletes to eat a plant-based diet for a month to see how it affected their athletic performance and health.

How to do vegan activism? Hmm. that's a good question. What I know is that there are many types of activism, and cubes are not the only form of activism.

Vegan in Paris! A whole day of eating & drinking only plant-based foods in Paris & some tips and tricks for you!

Hellloo lovelies (:
The second video in our little paris series is a where to eat in Paris (vegan edition).

Quick disclaimer: I was fully vegan for 6 years and I now eat sustainable fish & eggs occasionally. On our trip I tried dairy for the first time in years as I didn’t want my diet choices to dictate our trip too much. My partner isn’t vegan but is when he’s with me (: This was my second time in Paris whilst vegan, and it hasn’t gotten easier since last time. I’ll link all the places mentioned before and any other places we visited throughout the trip with great options!

My top tips for travelling to Paris as a vegan:
⭐️ Buy a little bottle of dairy free milk to enjoy with your coffee either in your hotel or at cafes (as it’s not common for places to offer any alternative milks to full cream!) the little coffee carts around paris usually have options, my favourite was Cafe Kitstume!

⭐️ Have a few places in mind of where to eat in the general area you’re heading each day & check their menus before

⭐️ Make a trip to one of the vegan/gf bakeries and buy some croissants for the next few days so you can experience the Parisian breakfast properly each morning if there isn’t one nearby where you’re staying ☺️

⭐️ & finally, don’t beat yourself up if you want to try something that has dairy, eggs etc. in it, you’re travelling - enjoy it and don’t let what good you do the other 364 days of the year taint your Parisian experience!

I ordered a BUNCH of vegan goodies from Yesstyle and thought I'd share them with you for a bonus video this week. ENJOY!
