Body Building Vegan style!
-
A lot go GOOOD stuff in this thread. Its amazing what minor tweaks in our diets can do. <br />
<br />
Gonna do a bit of a bulk in a few months. Will probably need to bounce a few things off ya bartman. But it'll be pretty clean I reckon - lots of oats, brown rice, veges and good protein sources. -
[quote name='Hooroo']OOohhhhh Kea! PLease write a recipe and post in here. Sounds south east asian and yummo[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
OK, Hooroo, well since I'm in Taiwan it may be, but for me it's just a quick healthy meal.<br />
After exercise I first put the rice cooker on (with a cup of brown rice) and clean up. Then I get the veges and meat out. Everything is already in plastic containers and a little cut up making it easy to use and the fridge clean.<br />
<br />
Ingredients, in order of use<br />
-Lean beef-slices, cut into cube/decent chunks<br />
-Chicken, cubed<br />
-1 to 2 cups hot water<br />
-Seasoning: a little salt, basil (dry now or fresh later) or oregano, cumin, soy sauce, and mushroom oyster sauce<br />
-First veges: 10cm section Chinese eggplant cut into 8 pieces-length-ways, same amount carrot. Some lotus root slices.<br />
-Second veges: 1 clove garlic (medium diced), a sprinkle black pepper, about 1/3 a large onion (slices), 1/2 tomato (medium diced), some green and yellow bell pepper (slices).<br />
-Last veges: 2-3 types of green leaf veges (bokchoy, Chinese cabbage, other greens), and any 1 fresh herb you have (basil/celery leaves).<br />
<br />
Cooking:<br />
-Get pan and begin to boil beef, chicken, water, seasoning.<br />
-While starting to heat up, cut and chuck in the first veges.<br />
-Then while that's softening in the pot/pan prepare the second veges, and cook a little.<br />
-Finally, stir in the last veges on highish heat for 10-20 seconds.<br />
-Pour out into nice bowl and let sit in freezer a couple of minutes.<br />
<br />
Maybe done in 10 minutes if not rushing. That's a complete recipe, but I often skimp depending on what's available in the fridge. Hope that helps. -
Bart: general views about (1) carrots (2) pumpernickle and/or rye bread?

It does help, very much so. Thanks for that.<br />
<br />
That will be my dinner at some stage this weekend. -
(1) Carrots make you turn orange, and (2), dunno, not on or eating plans, so have not been on the radar with us or out nutritionist! I'll have to ask if I remember on Monday.<br />
<br />
(1) revisited. When we are leaning down carrots are off the menu, as they are quite carb filled (when you are meant to be eating zero carbs). But to be fair, for our first comp when we were super rookies Ness DID in fact turn orange from eating too many carrots, but she still was mean and lean and ripped to pieces! But we're not meant to eat them then, but I don't know how much effect they really have! They taste nice though...<br />
<br />
JK - go to [url]www.gofigure.co.nz[/url] - there's a bloke looking to bulk up, eating 8000 calories a day!! I think I am on about 1700 a day at the moment in my maintenance-build stage. He's a big bugger though (tall). Lots of good eating stuff etc on that site too. -
Thanks Bart. I assume you'd have to eat a farking lot of carrots to get fat off them. <br />
<br />
I've never been a big veggie eater and still hate them but they are unfortunately essential. One thing I have to say is pretty amazing is that I havent been sick for almost a year (touch wood). Strangely enough I was often sick when I ate potato chips and ice cream for breakfast. What the fark was I thinking! -
RS - same here - since we started this BB lark, and eating healthy and clean (mainly) I have not been sick, and I think Ness has had a fluey thing once. But other than that, any more healthy and it would be sickening!!<br />
<br />
and mmmm, potato chips with ice cream dip, nothing wring with that, once every 41 years! -
Dropped another 2.5 cms!

Well done! However, aren't you supposed to lose weight, not get shorter?<img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />
<br />
At this rate, I advise you to stear clear of English rugby players, they may start tossing you around. -
Had something similar to this vegan diet when eating lunch at the wife's workplace yesterday. They didnt have any meat left but had heaps of chick peas and lima beans so I piled them on with veggies etc. Was ok but farked if I could eat that every single day. <br />
<br />
BTW Bart what is the go with chick peas and lima beans? Full of protein but I assume there must be a downside. -
here's a typical post hiking meal I fix for myself. Well, this one was for two people, and rice was on the side. Took 10-15 mins I suppose. Served on a plate with brown rice, soup (the juice from the meal) on the side. Yum and easy.<br />
Hooroo, did you ever try that recipe I posted? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -

Just bumping this up for you guys in NZ, it's probably getting a bit cold there, and this is a simple quick and healthy winter meal-the recipe I posted on the previous page.<br />

I've been having a break, strained my archilles in Feb-ironically, walking a lot on city streets as was busy....so can't blame the stairs. Actually, I do-I wasn't stretching enough, and reckon tight muscles caused me to put too much stress on the archilles, plus shoulda replaced the Salomon sneakers earlier. Finally getting some confidence back in it, although will be another month before can really put my foot down again.
