I don't buy into any of that high fat diet business.
I'm 5'9 @ 154 about 15% body fat at the moment. Not super lean but lean enough.

Yeah, I'm a small dude but I'm vegan so that is plenty of carbs.

Calories in Vs calories out.

Less sweets and more vaping my friend. :thumb:

Keto diets supercharge your metabolism by forcing your body to burn fat for energy vs carbohydrates.

It's unnatural, but it works...and not easy by any means (especially for those of us who like an ice cold IPA) :p
I love an ice cold IPA. I wish I had one right this minute. Cheers, @mongo74 :toast:

Yeah, but a high fat diet just means your less satiated and for the cost of 9 cals Vs 4 cals.edit; per gram
If it's just meat then fair enough but a better suggestion would be to expend more energy than ingested.

Go work out and count your calories.

Your also altering the very fabric of your bodies function by forcing it to be weaned off of all the nonsense most of our diets incorporate. All those processed flours and sugars...bleh...I went full vegan for 3 years and it was catastrophic. My body was literally dying towards the end of it. I don't eat meat very often, and prefer my protein in a cellular form that is readily digested (like mushrooms and legumes) I will say keto does (after a period of time) light a ketogenic fire in your metabolism. It's borderline dangerous, as you're forcing your body into a form of ketosis, but it's more effective than those other diet fads.

Indeed. Bleached = :nah:

I get all my protein from combinations of all foods inc. beans paired with rice etc..

I was veggie for 25 years minus 6 months and vegan for the last 2. Nothing wrong whatsoever.
Can I ask what was the problems you found?

Not at all.
Everyone speaks the same about bacon. To me its like rancid, salty, fleshy urine.
I couldn't think of a worse way to ruin my dinner.

Yes i can, fish! What a disgusting piece of food.
Wait, strings of offal, i mean sausage
The list goes on.

:?: You know how rank it all sounds. Im a confused man

healthy with less risk of cardiovascular disease than if i smoked and eat bacon

Thats why i vape and im vegan.

Rant over. Phew...

I lost muscle mass and my estrogen levels had skyrocketed. My doctor said it had to do with my physiology, and I was more of an anomaly than anything else.

SO, back to vegetarian, with the inclusion of fish and eggs...some chicken and the occasional addition of red meat.

Just a quick one for you to mull over with your vape.
I would imagine that you consume eggs and milk? Milk has high estrogen levels. A lot of people don't drink milk for this reason alone.

Chicken has a high phthalate content and reduces test in men and isn't a good idea for lowering estrogen levels.

Bare in mind that general practitioners in both of our countries aren't well equipped to give advice on nutrition. They are generally not well educated on this specific topic.

Either you got lucky or visited a nutritional specialist.

Good luck though :thumb:

P.s I forget that this is a vaping forum. Back on track ;)

I don't drink milk. I've seen what that does to baby cows lol.

Chicken wasn't very often. I am a ravenous fish eater though, as well as eggs, but moreso the white vs the yolk. I try to balance everything...my only vice now is ale chasing lol. I just love a good ol' dark ale/ipa so much *sips*

One thing I've vegetarian diets frequently rely on is soy as a protein source, which has of positives. It's also high in estrogen.

You are both right and wrong.
Veggie diets do contain phytoestrogens but this is nowhere near the potency of estrogen found in produce such as milk, which contains mammalian estrogen.
This is a very complex issue though and I don't know enough to argue the point.

Other than that, I don't have b**bies... Yet!!! ;)

...and there goes power again. Gotta love an early season thunderstorm.

Power cut?
Are you using something portable for the forum then?
I had one for a moment some time a couple years ago. It was horrible.
I had to make a cup of tea on the stove with a match and water in a saucepan. :facepalm:

Bad times. Gotta keep these 18650s charged.
