The type of Vegan food I enjoy are the ones that aren't trying to imitate meat. Like there's nothing wrong with a plate of roasted vegetables and rice.
If you wish to be Carnivour, which is what I am reading here. You should be eating Carnifourouse meat. Wild cat, Lion, Tiger etc. And being a true hunter, and catching it with your hands.
By the way, as someone who married a vegetarian (she does it because it helps her maintain her glucose levels as a Type 1 diabetic) I can't imagine the farts Brian had. When we first started dating I was eating a lot more vegetarian meals because I was cooking for her a lot and wooing her with my chef skills. Let me tell ya, it took a good 3 or 4 months before my body got used to the higher instance of full veggie meals and the heinous anus stopped.
As a type 1 diabetic I question her motive... meat itself doesnt have any sugars. Meat replacements do. How did going vegetarian help her maintain a better glucose level?
@@StrikingEnergy210 High levels of animal fats slow digestion and make it more difficult for insulin to function properly in your body. There's also the fact that high red meat consumption (which was her staple as she wasn't a fan of poultry or fish), even if only eating leaner cuts is associated with elevated insulin resistance. Pretty sure having well over a decade of dealing with her diet to maintain her blood sugar and still fuel her performance in the gym as well as being a DNP makes her plenty qualified to determine what works for her not just on paper, but in application to real life.
@@spydergs07 then you've had shit Indian food. Real Indian food, cooked by people who have lived in India, or have learned to cook Indian food properly is incredible.
"I literally don't know how to describe that taste" also brian "salt helps... kinda" brian nailed it! What else describes flavour if salt can't help it?
Salt amplifies the flavor of food. That’s why it’s the most important spice. You add a little bit to whatever you’re cooking and it vastly improves it.
@@mrwofl1015 if you use it after the fact you gotta let it sit for a few seconds, mix it up, etc, otherwise all you’re tasting is salt. And yes, tofu is bland.
I was thinking the same thing. I went throught this myself, and know from experience that eating that much fiber foods at once without easing into it will cause diarrhea like niagra falls.
yeah those vegans are always farting and stinking its like the number one thing they talk about in there groups that they cannot stop farting, hitler was a vegan too and had the same problem but cause he was such a insane nutter people just pretended not to notice for fear of being murdered lol.
Brian, I've been vegan for 34 years. I can tell you a tofu scramble and fake wings is not the way to go. There were so many other delicious options out there. All types of real vegetable dishes that you would have loved! I know you wanted lots of calories so for instance Indian food even though just vegetable can do that because of the sometimes high oil content. And desserts such as non dairy ice cream of so many different flavors would have blown you away! Plus unbelievable cakes and so much more. Next time(if there is a next time) you need to consult with a long time vegan for some good advice on the yummiest options.
The stomach issues are likely due to 2 things: you're not used to eating that much soy and you probably ate way more fiber than normal. Both those can lead to bloating and in that kind of volume, I imagine it's really uncomfortable.
strongman vegan breakfast: oat meal with oat/almond milk Walnuts+peanuts+almonds+sesame and some bluberries pea protein shake piece of bread with avocado. all good
Yeah, I wish he had picked just normal food, instead of all this mock meat (which most vegans don't even eat much of). Not to mention that tofu scrambler dish, which truly looked gross.
@@thatwasweird954 yep, there are a ridiculous number of plants so lots choose from. I have eggs occasionally because they save time. But other than that. Those meat replacement i have twice a week, judt one kind of burger from lentils/wheat or something
Love that you tried it! Vegan Junkfood is still junkfood, what you want is "Whole foods plant based" and for you a focus in higher calory foods as avocados, nuts and seeds and legumes (you might have a problem doing a 24H challenge, as it takes weeks or even months for the digestion system to get used to the high amount of fiber)
@@MrPelzi91 Because it is better for your body. Better for the planet. Better for the animals. And you dont have to drink tittyjuice from a cow as if you are a baby. If it is stupid in your opinion. fine but you just don't know enough about it. I used to share your opinion now i am plant based and i went from 76 to 86kg. Just eat enough, If you think it is stupid you must watch dominion and cowspiracy. Free on youtube.
@@jooobvhv "better for your body" not true and no evidence to support this. Generally people site studies that compare all meat eaters with all vegans and all this proves is that the most glutonous unhealthy eaters consume meat and other animal products which isn't much of a revelation to anyone. It's impossible to overeat on a vegan diet. Meat is good for you in proper quantities and makes meeting calorie and protein needs infinitely easier than a vegan diet "Better for the animals" this statement definitionally makes no sense. Animals aren't people and so don't have moral worth. A moral judgement about an animal's wellbeing is confusing categories. The purpose of many animals is food and therefore it is good and proper to use them for such "Better for the planet" only a privileged westerner could even think this is an argument. Billions of people would struggle to survive without animal products. Furthermore "bad for the planet" in the sense you mean it is hard to quantify or qualify objectively. Mass farming of vegetables is "harmful to the planet" in the exact same sense (not even considering whether or not this carbon emission bs is legitimately a cause for concern or not) Cow yiddy milk is fire. One of God's finest creations and the things man make with it (like cheese and cream) are some of man's
As a vegan weight lifter I commend you I've been vegan since I was 15 after suffering a mild heart attack while I was playing football I was overweight close to you're weight 400 pounds and my doctor actually talked me into trying it out at first I was just like you but I started eating whole plant-based foods I enjoy some mock meat products but they are too heavy on the salty side so it's better to eat whole plant-based foods I enjoy watching you're videos and I love you're content you inspired me to do powerlifting.
@@ShadowGaming26548 needs more cardio then, its really powerful. I weigh 10-15kg more than my friends and im the one who has the best stamina during soccer games bc I do a lot of biking up mountains even tho at a first glance you'd say I would run 5 meters and lay down (bulking rn)
@@ShadowGaming26548 better cardio is the answer, just go jogging and do endurance training. I ran a marathon after just some casual running practice at 225 because I always kept my cardio up whether I bulked or cut
@@ShadowGaming26548 it's kind of a myth that heavier people have less endurance, of course moving a more mass requires more energy, but if you train you'll be moving your own mass all the time so it will get better.
Yeah I was dying trying to keep up I was a d line man I'm 6"2 and my coach was constantly giving me food he would say I need you to eat more it got to the point that after my mild heart attack and going vegan I had to go see a doctor every week for 6 months because that was alot of weight for me to lose I'm currently at 260 pounds but of muscle I hired a coach to help me with my powerlifting and I quit playing football and got into wrestling in high school at 280 pounds and I agree with you all 😊🙏
I love that you did this! I've been curious to see you try for a long time. I am going to preface the rest of this comment with saying I'm not personally vegan and don't think that everyone should be at all, especially not someone like Brian that has very specific nutritional needs. If you were to ever try this again, I'd love to see you eat a healthier and more natural plant based diet. There are so many naturally vegan foods that we already eat or could eat that the meat substitutes, while potentially nice, aren't necessary to reach that goal. I also think that the naturally plant based foods tend to taste better and digest much better too. You'd get a lot more of a natural diet and have an easier time digesting it, as there aren't as many processed ingredients or fillers in it. Perhaps Mexican flavours (which I think you like) or Indian ones (I'm not sure if you like those) would lend themselves well, as there are a lot of naturally plant based recipes there. Either way, thank you for doing this. You're an inspiration in general. Keep being great!
I'm a meat eater but I've had seitan that was better than most chicken, and tofu can be absolutely delicious. Brian (and anyone else like me who has no interest in becoming vegan but does have interest in having a little bit less meat in their diet), keep trying stuff! Daal is my favorite, it's cheap, easy, satisfying and high-protein.
Yeah that scramble at the start of this looked very poorly done too. I mean it looked like just unseasoned tofu....which is yeah basically nothing. Tofu is a flavor sponge it tastes like the stuff you add to it and can be really good.
Dude! Awesome video! As a vegan i loved the content. I gotta say theres so many options out there and they almost all taste different. Glad u tried it which most people are too scared to do
Nobody is scared to eat veggies, fruits, and grains. Aside from the "carnivore diet" frauds. It's the fact that there is no real scientific proof that isn't paid for and backed by interested third parties backing the idea that we're not meant to be omnivores. Our Hunter-Gatherer ancestors ate wild game, wild greens, and wild fruits, and are generally considered to be far healthier and even taller than our earliest agricultural ancestors. Also soy is nasty.
i tried vegan food only thing i liked was the cauliflower bottom of the pizza just remove all the fake meat and put vegies on it cause the fake meat ruin it and taste like ass.
I love cooking for myself - and I've been adding more and more vegan recipes to my rotation. It's definitely hard to find something that meets texture and flavor expectations compared to food that you're familiar with! I love the recipes I do make now, and it's hard to find good vegan recipes. Would love to see much more bodybuilding/cooking youtube crossover to help us all cook and eat better
My experience with Vegan food was basically the same as Brian. I would say that the one thing I would change if I did it again would be to try different foods and not just meat alternatives. Part of the issue with those kinds of things are you're comparing it to what you already eat (like a hamburger vs a beyond burger). The best the vegan food can ever do is be basically what you're already happy with (so, the best case scenario is vegan food = meat, but more likely vegan food < meat). It will likely lose out on texture, taste, or something. If you eat foods that are not aimed to be meat replacements, you might find something you really like more. That said, I've struggled to find 'vegan' dishes I enjoy more than the meat I eat. I do eat more plant based things than I used to, but I definitely don't get the bulk of my protein from plants.
@@descendency if beans didn’t ruin me I’d probably never need to eat chicken again :( It’s easiest for sure to take it slow and incorporate vegan products into your routine/meals because there’s just nothing I’ve ever found that’s a 1:1 replacement
If you have the food that you've had your whole life and love, why change from that to eat vegan filth? I can see trying something here and there, but vegan food is all vile. And it's not healthy either.
Seitan tacos sound great. I had seitan kebab once, while it does not taste like beef, it was really well spiced so as a meal in itself it was actually really enjoyable. Honestly, the best vegan stuff is the one that does not pretend to be meat or dairy, since i doubt it could ever really live up to the real thing.
You should have had an actual Vegan make you your food/meals. I was vegan for over a year and didn’t eat a lot of the fake meet crap. There are a ton of real foods with protein in them that are vegan. Oreos are vegan :)
We all love Brian , but he’s too nice to do this lol. Every single thing he wanted to say this taste like crap but he doesn’t want to be mean to the restaurant.
I mean with vegan food in my experience it's all about finding what you like. I'm not vegan myself but we eat vegan a lot anyway because my girlfriend prefers it and I decided for myself that I want to reduce my meat-intake a lot. We're pretty happy with it now but we had to experiment for a while to find stuff we liked. Some people don't like "alternative meat" kind of stuff at all and just prefer getting their protein from stuff like beans or using tofu in its own way in recipes, not just to imitate meat. We generally like meat replacement products but if you really want to imitate meat you have to introduce some additional tricks (liquid smoke makes things taste more "meaty" in many dishes for example) and the meat replacements are all different in terms of: 1. what do you digest well? Some people have trouble with soy, others with seitan and there's also stuff based on peas or lentils. 2. what consistency do you like? For me personally pea-based is the best because soy based can be a bit dry sometimes and seitan is often too tough for me in terms of the consistency. 3. what actually tastes good to you? Once again pea-based is my favourite but each manufacturer has their own processing and blend of proteins, fats and fibre along with seasoning obviously. So I'd say apart from the obvious "it's everybody's choice" there is no "one way" to eat vegan. If you're motivated to do it you find your way but there are definitely vegan dishes I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole while I love others :D
You're a FAR bigger man than I. Literally and figuratively my friend. Gotta love how this man just crushes any task in front of him regardless of what it is. He could have just eaten some pasta and pizza and called it a day. But he was going "beyond meat" and lentils...I know...I know... it's nightmarish. But this man CRUSHED it like a WSM Championship. Absolute legend.
Cholesterol is largely genetic. But at the crazy levels they eat it would be interesting. As to his glucose, he's super active and creates tons of demand, so I doubt he has much if any insulin resistance. I would be more concerned about the effects the PEDs use has on his metabolism that the food he eats.
