I Dieted Like A Vegan Pro Athlete For 30 Days | Goodful

"Honestly finishing these workouts while changing my diet is very concerning." Quinton loves to work out and has always thought that he needed to eat a lot of animal-based protein to see results. After seeing the documentary "The Game Changers," he decided to see what happens if he switches to eating exclusively plant-based foods and proteins.

I went plant based to fight my rheumatism at the discretion of my doctors and literally within 3 months all my health problems went away magically! It's been over 12 months now and all of those health problems are still MIA. Even my family went plant based after seeing how well my health changed. Going strong and absolutely regret not doing this earlier, oh well :/.

Try some authentic Indian those curries that they sell in the restaurants... The only non plant based food that most of the Indian vegetarians eat/drink is a cup of tea or a teaspoon of ghee both of which are easily replaceable. We Indians really know how to make our veggies

Where the beans! The potatoes! The rice! This is why people think veganism is expensive. But great video though. It’s informative.

I would like to see more of Quinton and his journey as a vegan

[BabySwearWords]

This was dope. I’ve been vegan for about a year and a half after growing up vegetarian. The best advice is it isn’t all or nothing, just do your best.

Week 2: wish you guys tried food prepping inexpensive vegan whole food staples - beans, rice, veggies - high protein and wayyy cheaper and easier than messing with all the fancy recipes which can be a pain with how busy you are.

After watching that documentary I tried vegan food for a month and now I don’t like meat anymore but I still eat eggs. May b one day I will be able to go 100% vegan. Just read that just eggs is coming to Walmart Canada this fall ❤️❤️excited

100% whole foods vegan for over 31 years. I'm fit AF at 63. never on meds annd all my parts work. My high school training partners are both meat eaters. One is obese and the other died of a heart attack, while training at 50 years old. Remember this if you want to live a long, vibrant, fit life. Peace

Wonderful! But not surprising. When I went vegan 14 years ago for the animals, I had no idea how much it would benefit me in so many ways! It’s the opposite of sacrifice; it’s abundance. I’ve discovered so many new foods and eat just about everything I ate before, only the plant-based versions. Just as delicious if not more so, and you don’t feel like crap after eating it. I just had a blood test, and everything was normal. My protein, iron and b12 was higher than my nonvegan friend who was low in b12. I’m turning 61 this year, and I know that this lifestyle has kept me healthy and vibrant!

That green burrito in the beginning looked bomb, I wonder where it was from

[lesmercredis]

Respectfully speaking, Q is ridiculously gorgeous... Like, this video could've been "30 Days Eating Cheetos in a Ratty Old Bathrobe" and he could still look like a goddamn Renaissance masterpiece

I love the transition into being more plant-based, but just a reminder that vegan isnt a diet, its a lifestyle. where you dont consume any animal products including food, clothes and animal exploitation like zoos, rodeos, cosmetic testing, fur, hunting, fishing etc. PLANT-BASED is a diet. Its important to distinguish the 2

finally someone who stands with the same posture in the before and after shots!

Loved this! I went vegan the day after watching the Game Changers, and I have been for nearly a year. I do a mixture of weight lifting and calisthenics, and being vegan has really helped in terms of strength and endurance. Maca root is a great addition you can try. So many benefits for both men and women.

[roxiebruce]

Great story!🤗 I am also new at plant based diet and trying my best each day! The key is to prep your meals so you don’t become hungry and eating anything!

[JoeDoe]

Been plant-based for 18 months. I’ve become sensitive to the smell of meat and fast food. This is permanent lifestyle change for me. I noticed my energy has gone up and I heal from minor injuries faster. I’ve also incorporated intermittent fasting and meditation. I like the results. My younger self would probably disown me like everyone else.

9:10 If you lift the weight scale after weighing in, you'll notice the grass is crushed. A portion of your weight went through the scale (not measuring it) to crush the grass.

You need to place the scale a hard reference surface in order to measure your weight more accurately.
