Vegetarian Cutting Diet?

[al420]

Just use Eggs for protien. If you will eat them I would rely on them.

Any fat can potentially make you fat. 1 gram of fat is 9 calories, doesn't change with the "type" that it is. One might be healthier for your heart, but they all do the same to the waistline if they are pushing you over your caloric needs.

If you do not exercise and eat a 1/2 lb a day, than yeah!


Throughout history, almonds have been enjoyed not only for their delicate, versatile flavor and great crunch, but also their legendary healthful properties. The Almond Board of California’s nutrition research program has helped quantify almonds’ nutritious profile and health benefits. For example:

Almonds are nutritionally dense – a quality emphasized in the government’s Dietary Guidelines. Independent analyses show that almonds are the most nutritionally dense nut, whether compared calorie per calorie or ounce per ounce. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 encourage Americans to choose nutritionally dense foods – that is, to get the most nutrition possible out of the calories you eat. A one-ounce, 160-calorie serving of almonds, or about a handful, is an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium, and a good source of fiber. It also offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, protein, potassium, calcium, phosphorous and iron.


Eating a daily handful of almonds a day may lower LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. In a clinical trial published in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation, men and women who ate one daily ounce of almonds for a month lowered their LDL cholesterol by 4.4 percent. Those who ate two daily ounces of almonds lowered their LDL cholesterol even more – by 9.4 percent – and maintained their weight.


Eating almonds may help maintain or even lose weight. A 2003 study in the International Journal of Obesity found that adding a daily ration of almonds to a low-calorie diet enhanced weight loss, as well as significantly improved risk factors associated with heart disease, when compared to a low-fat, low-calorie diet. Researchers cited almonds’ heart-healthy monounsaturated fat as being very satiating, helping satisfy the appetite and prevent patients from overeating.

Thanks for the links Blueta2. There are a few vegetarians on the net and a couple very buff vegans who are natural bodybuilders.
I'm new to using gear, so I'm interested in vegetarian diets used to successfully go through a cutting cycle. I started mine ahead of schedule and I'm very pleased with the results in a short time. However, 11 weeks to go on just egg whites would be a tough menu to keep.
It doesn't surprise me that I'm in a minority on this board, but it would surprise me to discover I'm the only vegetarian here who has done this.

It wouldn't supprise me. Not to flame, but a vegetarian BB is like a mechanic w/ no tools IMO. You need MEAT to grow - simple as that.

There may be a few ramdom people that are huge AND vegetarians, but they are probably genetic freaks and would be huge no matter what. If this is not you then get out the Eggs bro.

Best of luck either way. When it comes right down to it the journey is the prize, not the destination.

Meat is good for you IMO. In my life's journey sometimes I come across an animal and I just have to let them have it. Slow down on the life's journey stuff on a fricking AAS board.

Nice bench, it's twice mine - what exactly do you mean by "press at least 1500". This is a typeo right?

And BTW - my Family is my #1. And we all enjoy meat daily...all the way down to the little princess. Hell, I think we feed our fish meat.

Many dr's have few hrs of nutrician experience, but I not talking about those guys. I am talking about the dr's who actually study the human digestive track. Nutrician does not pertain to their research.
Like I said, to eat meat or not is a very personal choice. Some ppl actually get ill (very ill) eating an animal. They just cannot bring themself to eat a dead animal. Some ppl can....to each his own.

I am not saying it cannot be done at all. Most BB vegatarians are not Vegans though. I believe Bill Pearl is Lacto /Ova. I believe if a person gets ill from meat consumption it is mental issue. If they were stranded on top of a mountain in winter they would eat their horse if they had to.

call me a non-surviver, but I would rather die than kill and eat a horse.
And yes it's mental not physical about not eating meat.
And fyi, if I were stranded on top of a mountain with a horse, I would get on the horse and utilize him/her to get me off the mountain..haha!

That was a good reply. I know what you mean as I hunt at the grocery! I am not a hunter but would do what it took to survive. Can you say that positivly or maybe a chance that when the survival instinct kicked in...we are animals in the end I say again. You nor I have ever been that hungry. Good luck in your endevours. You are on a already hard road my friend....And you are racing with a handicap. BB is the hardest sport. Good job so far as well.

It's nice to blaze a new path.
I never thought I'd do AAS but I've learned a lot from this board that has taken the concern out it for me. The change in this first week alone whether due to placebo or not, has been excellent. This will be one great Christmas gift.

--- Isn't that big, powerful horse I road on up the mountain a vegetarian?
--- Biggest land mammal in the world is a vegetarian - elephant.

I guess that means, the perfect cutting diet is straw with a side of peanuts.

Appreciate the thoughts and helpful info,
Mike

T-Rex ate meat - Gorillas eat meat - Lions eat meat. Gazelles get eaten - so would a horse, or elephant by my first example.

Steroids and meat are like meat and potatoes or meat and muscles - they just go together. Good luck w/ the straw. Do know how many animals died having the AAS your shooting tested on them? Sorry, sometimes I get a little playful - must be the meat.
