How to Gain Weight on the Vegan or Raw Diet #335

www.therenegadehealthshow.com At Raw Union, I “ran” into Robert Cheeke. Naturally, I wanted to know what he did to keep his body strong and how he built his body on a vegan (high raw) diet.

I’ve heard that this dude does vegan steroids.
@voncoolio carried out by researchers at the University of Minnesota who wrote: “Because of the increasing popularity of soy foods and the availability of isoflavone supplements, there is an important public health need to understand the impact of soy isoflavones on reproductive hormone levels in men.”
@voncoolio One study result cited by Clare M. Hasler, Ph. D.:
In a recent study looking at soy’s affect on reproductive health in healthy males, men given 40 mg of soy isoflavones daily for 2 months (there are 20 mg of isoflavones in 1 cup of soy milk; 38 mg in 1/2 cup of tofu),
@voncoolio there were no effects on serum sex hormones, testicular volume, or semen quality. This was deemed the first study to examine the effects of a phytoestrogen supplement on reproductive health in males. (Mitchell et al., Clinical Science 100(6):613-618, 2001 June)
@voncoolio The Official Journal Urology (SIU) Reports: The data from this study indicate that a daily diet containing four slices of a bread rich in HT soy grits favorably influences the PSA level and the free/total PSA ratio in patients with prostate cancer. This work provides some evidence to support epidemiologic studies claiming that male populations who consume high phytoestrogen diets have a reduced risk of prostate cancer development and progression.
@voncoolio The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Reports: Substitution of soyfoods for animal products, regardless of isoflavone concentration, reduces the Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) risk because of both modest reductions in blood lipids and reductions in oxidized LDL, homocysteine, and blood pressure.
@voncoolio from International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements: Soy protein and soy fiber are common ingredients in many foodstuffs. Various kinds of soy protein, including soy flour, soy-protein concentrate, and isolated soy protein, are currently used in human foods. Soy proteins are used in infant formulas and enteral nutrition products, as ingredients in meat products, and as protein supplements.
@voncoolio Although it is a plant protein, the protein quality of soy protein is excellent. Soy fiber is used in enteral nutrition products and some bakery goods. Research shows that soy fiber provides the important health benefits usually associated with dietary fiber, including improved laxation and cholesterol-lowering ability. This review provides background information on soy protein and soy fiber and their use in human foods.
@ContaMuir17a Stop trolling videos and playing with your dick, and get some life experience, mate.
@voncoolio From informa world dot com:
Soybean consumption has been linked to a reduced risk for certain cancers and diseases of old age. The health benefits associated with soybean consumption have been linked to the action of isoflavonoids, the major phenolic phytochemicals found in soybean. Isoflavonoids possess numerous biological activities that may
@voncoolio support chemoprevention through the promotion of apoptosis in diseased cells. In this study, we discuss the current state of knowledge concerning soybean isoflavonoids, their chemopreventive actions against postmenopausal health problems, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, and also biotechnology approaches toward the enrichment of soybean for isoflavonoid content.
@voncoolio From pub med dot gov: Soy is a unique dietary source of the isoflavones, genistein and daidzein. It has been part of the Southeast Asian diet for nearly five millenia, whereas consumption of soy in the United States and Western Europe
@voncoolio
has been limited to the 20th century. Heavy consumption of soy in Southeast Asian populations is associated with reduction in the rates of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. Recent experimental evidence suggests that phytochemicals in soy are responsible for its
@voncoolio beneficial effects, which may also include prevention of osteoporosis, a hereditary chronic nose bleed syndrome, and autoimmune diseases. Exposure of soy formula-fed infants to the potential estrogenizing effects of the isoflavones is limited by the first pass effect of the liver following the uptake of isoflavones from the gut. Several mechanisms of action of isoflavones have been proposed-both through estrogen-dependent and estrogen-independent pathways.
voncoolio sent me the following message: “You are so full of shit. One of the sad people who still believe in man made global warming. You’re still stuck in 2002 mate. Silent stupidity can be tolerated, but you won’t shut up. You need silencing. Quickly.” — For his benefit and the education of others I will now proceed to expound on the benefits of soy beans and soy products! Enjoy Voncoolio this bean’s for you bud! ~8-)) If you want me to be quiet you’re better off leaving me alone… grins
fuck yeah!
@ContaMuir17a im 23, 5 11″ and was 11 stone exactly, im an ectomorph. i’m not sure how many calories i was consuming but id have two protein shakes a day made of hemp seeds, two bananas and peanut butter. for lunch id have a huge avacado salad (a whole avocado), then 4 dinner id have a veg shake, spinach, lettuce and carrots! throughout the day i’d have fruits and almonds
@Rotarrius Really if you’ve only been a raw vegan for 2 weeks how much weight could you possibly loose? How much did you weigh before? — Do you have any health problems? Are you on a diuretic? Other meds? Are you drinking at least 2.5 liters of water a day? Everyday? How many hours are you exercising a day? Beyond a certain point rapid weight loss is not good for your body. But self-perceptions can be deceptive. That’s why I’m asking so many questions. Give yourself the factual answers.
@Rotarrius How much weight is so much weight? How much of the weight you lost was fat?
@Rotarrius What’s your age, height and weight? What’s your current body fat percentage? Are you an ectomorph endomorph or mesomorph? How many calories are you eating a day on average? About how many calories are you expending each day on average? Have you lost just fat or also muscle mass too? Many guys would like to loose weight easily like you did. I think you might be a younger man, they tend to loose weight quicker when they start eating right. In a few more years you’ll wish you could!
@voncoolio I still don’t know what you’re talking about –
because it is obvious that you don’t know what you are talking about. I respectfully suggest that you are the one who should “shut up and don’t EVER give anyone nutritional advice.”
Good day sir!
