Thank you so much for posting and I am going to get your book. My concern for me is I am female and I need to drop about 10 pounds. Seems like eating all day might not achieve that. I went quickly through all the comments so not sure if anyone else posted something similar.

Can I lose weight on that much food? I am very active run about miles a week but I am just at a stand still in weight. after watching the last video where she said to eat 3 times a day I thought oh no I will truly starve.

I do not have a weight problem. I ride a bike instead of run but my eating pattern is similar to yours minus and the beer. This was so great to read! However I find if I eat a salad for lunch and workout in the evening, it wreaks havoc on my stomach.

My digestive system definitely has trouble when I add in more raw veggies, even the slightest amount. What time of day do you usually do your workouts, and do any of you have advice for easing the stomach pains the plant based diet can cause for a while?

Thanks for sharing…. I think Im more curious what your WIFE eats in a day…. Her chef AG weight loss was very inspiring. Not one of them mention alcohol as a daily intake. I admit, that I have daily drinks to unwind at the end of the day. However, I have more than your one.

For example, I might have one as soon as I walk in the door from work. Another at the dinner table. I usually have my last one after the toddler is in bed. Thank you very much Matt. This information is very interesting. Its always insightful to hear what other vegans eat during the day.

One question: Is this a typical day for you during your off-season when you are not training? As, I am a marathon runner myself, I find I eat much more often and take in substantially more calories than you do.

Thanks, Brett. Same thing for a cold salad. Thanks for the post! Thank you. Can you give an idea of the calories in this?

Can someone please comment on this? Hi, is it OK to follow this diet if I am not a runner? I currently am overweight and trying to change over to not eating meats. As the mom of a high school athlete, I would love any input on a typical days meal plan for when your goal is to put on weight and muscle.

usually dinner.. I eat the same mostly since started this diet.. the pin is horrible.. not sure if related… anyone experiencing the same. I came to your page to compare our diets to get a an idea of what I might be doing.

Our days look very similar — smoothie in the morning, salad for lunch, and some type of vegetable and grain dinner.

I have been plant based for awhile and have gone to whole foods over the last year. I however just started adding in exercise in the last several months and I noticed I feel hungry most of the day.

I am doing weight training and building or circuit training 4 days a week for at least an hour. One day of straight cardio and I do at least one hike a week for about 4 to 6 miles. I am worried I am not eating enough of the right foods which leaves me hungry more often than not.

I am also worried if I overeat it will be counter productive for my muscle building and weight loss. This has been very informative! We feel so much better overall! However, we have not perfected what to eat and when to eat so we get caught in decision fatigue often. Thank you for spelling out what and how you eat everyday.

Thanks for the info. All so relevant to what I was looking for. Does anyone else experience this? I have been a vegan for over 15 years. In the early years, I are carb heavy.

Within the last few years, I wanted to really change the way my body looks. I have a mental block when it comes to the number on the scale increasing. My goal is to gain muscle but not weight. In other words I want to be tone — narrow waist, flat stomach, round butt.

I am an intermittent faster and a junk food junkie which I am doing better with controlling. I meal prep a balanced meal weekly l, drink at least half my body weight in water.

I recently had surgery so I cannot lift more than 10lbs. I have a full home gym- any recommendations?

Oats is my favorite and combination with oats is always healthy and tasty. But after reading your article, i found so many other healthy breakfast options, i will try soon with my new breakfast meal.

Thanks for sharing. Hi I just wanted to inform you that I am a follower of the plant based lifestyle for a few years now and while you are right about what the plant based diet is based upon, you are wrong in saying that it includes a small amount of animal products since the plant based diet excludes all animal products like the ones you mentioned eggs, fish etc.

It focusses on unprocessed natural foods that are in no way produced by animals since a lot of the substances found in animal products are seen as unhealthy and harmful to both our health and our environment. A person who follows a whole foods plant based diet may not eat any animal products or may eat a minimal amount.

People confuse plant based with vegan often as well thinking that plant based means exclusively plant foods. Colin Campbell also specified that plant based diet is different from vegan in that it may include animal products and is not based on ethics, read more here: History of the Plant-Based Movement.

I hope this helps clarify things for you a little bit and while you may consider yourself a follower of the plant based lifestyle who chooses to omit animal products, it would not be wrong for another follow of the plant based lifestyle to include some in their diet.

I have been obese all my life largely due to being sedentary and terrible food choices. One of my childhood friends has suggested going to a plant based diet but I am afraid the transition will be to difficult and I will turn back to my old ways and give up.
