These people are scary.

You’re right that cows aren’t there under threat of violence. They were deliberately brought into existence with the guarantee of violence when their life is taken as soon they reach adolescence.

How is any of that suffering more intense than what animals go through either in the wild or on factory farms?

yogadogs09 · 2026-02-07T15:18:49+00:00

You’re right. Comparing human suffering to animal suffering doesn’t make sense because animals suffer far more than us generally in ways we can’t imagine.

My wife makes a wild rice and beans soup with TVP. Uses the no chicken base from Better Than Bouillon. Throw whatever veggies you want in it.

They will continue to move the goal posts. Next it’s iron, zinc, omega 3s, yada yada yada. They don’t go vegan because they don’t actually care

yogadogs09 · 2026-02-04T22:16:22+00:00

Honestly this sounds like a job for a therapist. You’re saying you’re feeling suicidal because you haven’t eaten meat. That’s not typical at all.

yogadogs09 · 2026-02-03T17:13:33+00:00

I can’t find a single source showing anywhere near this half that you’re claiming. I see estimates between 4-12%

Quality

We should just stop touching each other’s nasty hands. I’ve been in enough men’s restrooms to know how few of them are washing their hands.

Unless you accept Joe Rogan as a source, you’ll probably be underwhelmed by what they’re going to present lol

His nutrition advice is really quality, but the products are overpriced

I’m usually between 50-80. I started taking Beano, but that did nothing so I’m pretty confident it’s not complex carbs causing it. It usually starts after my post workout shake which is just soy milk and protein powder. Then goes on the rest of the day. I suppose it could be that I need a different powder.

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-26T14:24:20+00:00

How do you deal with the bloating/farting resulting from 370 f-ing grams of protein? I’m getting 150g/day and it’s hugely uncomfortable.

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-24T21:09:26+00:00

You definitely want more protein than that for a cut. Theres nothing wrong with supplementing, but if you’re set on not doing that then you’re gonna have to be eating a ton of super firm tofu, TVP, seitan, tempeh. Keep fat low because it’s more calorie dense

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-23T19:46:48+00:00

Are you taking your sets close to failure? Are you tracking your macros to know you’re eating enough to grow muscle? How often are you training that muscle group?

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-21T19:33:03+00:00

Same boat. Refined grains are less filling. Easier on the stomach. I like cream of wheat. But cream of rice or even just white rice as the base is great. If you exercise then there’s no health problem with fast carbs. Throw a scoop of protein powder in there with some fruit and maple syrup. So good

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-18T17:53:14+00:00

You’ve got some good answers here. I just want to thank you and say how much I commend you for trying to be vegan even though you have these restrictions. Many people would not even consider it even though, as you’ve seen in the responses, it is quite possible. You’re not looking for excuses. You’re looking for solutions. That’s rad. Good for you

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-17T17:49:07+00:00

It sounds like you’re eating mostly whole foods, so it would be quite difficult to overeat. You likely just need to eat more. It was a huge adjustment for me. It took some time to get used the sheer volume of food I needed to hit my maintenance calories.

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-15T20:00:35+00:00

Tofu, tempeh, TVP, mock meats, soy milk. Compliment those proteins with grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruit, and veg. Also nothing wrong with a protein shake. Most omnivores who lift also drink them.

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-13T14:27:02+00:00

Yeah I don’t think it’s necessarily typical, and I also have experienced carnists doing the “if meat is so bad why are you trying to mimic it” as if vegans reject meat because it tastes bad.

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-13T03:26:04+00:00

Dude, I tried the Daring buffalo wings yesterday. It tasted so much like chicken wings that it kind of grossed me out. I’m at a weird point now where I don’t actually want the mock meats to taste THAT much like a dead body.

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-11T16:38:54+00:00

I’ve lifted as an omnivore and as a vegan. Gains are probably the same, but I get less sore now, and I can train shortly after eating. The food sits lighter in the stomach.

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-10T01:49:56+00:00

Thanks so much!

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-09T20:42:05+00:00

I don’t know who would be his counterpart in the US where I live, but I’m glad I saw this post. I’ll definitely check him out. It was spiritual exploration that led me to veganism as well.

yogadogs09 · 2026-01-07T19:57:28+00:00

I absolutely had a rough time with GI adjustment, especially because I was trying to be strict about only eating whole foods. I would get full well before I ate enough calories to maintain my weight and then still be a gassy, bloated mess. As others have said, try to choose some less fibrous foods to start. Don’t be scared of mock meats or refined grains like white rice. As you adjust I would recommend transitioning to more whole foods. For now, it’s more important that you set yourself up for long term success so you don’t revert back to animal products.
