scoobysworkshop.com Being a vegetarian will not reduce your ability to add muscle, I’m one and it hasn’t hurt me. Those who think vegetarians cant be successful bodybuilders either don’t understand the different kinds of vegetarians or don’t understand bodybuilding nutrition. Arnold fostered the incorrect view that you have to eat muscle to gain muscle. The trouble with the word “vegetarian” is that so many people have used it in so many different ways that it has basically become useless so it has been replaced by more specific and meaningful words. The useless word “vegetarian” has been replaced by the following two more specific and useful words: Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian: A vegetarian whose diet includes dairy products, eggs, vegetables, fruits, grains, and nuts Vegan: A strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or dairy products When people today say “Vegetarian” what they are really talking about is a lacto-ovo vegetarian. In other words, a diet that does not include the parts of an animal that were not given up freely. Animals happily give up their eggs and milk so vegetarians can eat those. One reason people mistakenly believe that vegetarians cant be bodybuilders is that they mistake vegans for vegetarians. The ability to consume eggs and dairy products makes an incredible difference. Vegans (those who consume no animal products whatsoever) are at a big disadvantage when it comes to adding muscle but vegetarians are not hindered at all — lets look at why this is …

You should never eat soy. Ever. It’s dead food and has nothing good in it for the human body. Dairy is better but not by much. It’s designed to bulk up a baby cow to several hundred pounds in only a matter of months. It’s not tailored to humans in any way. They advertise it as a great source of calcium yet it’s calcium depleting because it draws calcium from your bones and teeth in order to break down the phosphorous in the milk to get the calcium and you get less than you waste in the process.

Scooby, you’re the best. Thanks for all the info over the years.

unfortunatly soy and beans etc… are not a complete form of protien meaning they a missing various amino needed for muscle growth which doesnt mean you shouldnt eat them it just means that in order to get the appropriate aminos you’ll have to pair foods together i.e. beans and rice

Your wrong scooby. Being a vegan in no way puts you at a disadvantage at body building. Soy, almond, milk contains the SAME amount of protein as cows milk, but contains NO fat or cholesterol as does cows milk. So you might as well through out the cows milk. Dairy is the worst part of anyones diet. And for eggs… You through half of it out anyways so why it anyways? So besides for the “protein” in it, just eat a little extra beans or nuts if you have to… Instead of eating an animal product

lol first world problems
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
you’r foolish if you think the animals we eat “step into our domain.”
Watch the documentary “earthlings” (it’s about 1.5 hours) and it’ll change you’re whole view on eating meat. You just wrote the most ignorant comment i’ve ever read, and i feel sorry for you.
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
it is what it is then. we kill we eat. humans are humans its what we do, if we like it or not, no predator meat eater animal is ganna let you live if u step into its domain unwarrented, and im jsut the same
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
Do you believe being at the top of the food chain is representative of being the most evolved ?
i personally think that we aren’t to different to the beings that we call unevolved. what makes us more evolved?, we actually kill more, eat more and ,do more “harm” than any lion or creature on this planet, maybe just maybe. they are Reflecting us. 
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
Then you are a fool. Why would I watch a video with someone as stupid as yourself? We are not designed to eat meat no, go read some books. You are a real idiot and you just proved it. Haha, get some education. PUNK!
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
before you comment stating i am wrong yet again, do some frigging research. too many times have i come across ARROGANT people like you, who refuse to know the truth… IGNORANCE is not a good way to go. i respect that if you still want to believe global warming is happening, but check the medieval northern hemisphere anomaly before 1961, its a cycle…
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
the way the government / al gore are going about global warming, its all carbon dioxide’s fault and if we carry on we will bake ourselves. yet humans breathe it out, plants breathe it in, out of the greenhouse gasses the main contributer is water vapour, that is like 95% +, then its co2, then methane, then n20, followed by misc. gasses, its all a money plot, if you can not see that your stupid. science degrees mean nothing, its just following a set road by the government to earn degrees.

You are also stupid. Many don’t eat meat for moral reason. Who gives a shit what you think, dumbass newbie.

Nuts are really good source of fat and protein. A good inbetween snack can be an apple and almonds for example. I do agree with scooby on that vegans have a harder time building muscle, but again I think they get leaner and stay leaner easier.
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
I’m vegetarian. And I eat like this: Breakfest sandiwches with hommus and cucumber or some other vegetable, fruit, sometimes nuts, seeds. Or sometimes I eat oatmeal with jam or applsauce, milk, curds / or cottage cheese (I skip eggs, but you can eat that if you want ofc) fruits.. sometimes yoghurt, musli etc. For: Protein source: Beans, soyproten, eggs, meat imitators. I usually skip carbs for lunch but eat em for dinner (rice, potatos etc) so basically the same as meateaters, but vegetarian
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
He would just be fatter since you get better protein from non-meat sources. Didn’t get that from the video?
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
hey scooby am a vegetarian..i can consume milk but not any other animal product..i have read that milk contains a really low level of protein,,not even 5%..what should my meals include??what bout legumes and nuts??
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
I never said vegans cause pollution. And I know SO2 causes acid rain. It was a typo. Calm down.
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
vegan: its easy. just eat peanuts, beans, lentils, quinoa, soy etc. that’s only 5 things to remember.
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
No, but I’m well educated in science. You my friend, are not.
April 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
