    About this ebook

    If you want to become healthier, bulk up, and eat clean, then keep reading.

    For years it has been believed that bodybuilders couldn't follow a vegan diet. People assume that in order to gain muscle that you have to eat animal products because, for many, animal products are the only decent source of protein. While it is true that you need protein to build muscle, you can get plenty of protein from plant sources. As a dietitian, I want to help you make the changes to your diet that you want to and still do the workouts you love.

    There are a lot of myths out there about veganism and bodybuilding, and if you are a bodybuilder who wants to eat vegan, you may find it hard to figure out how to do so. People choose veganism for many reasons, and the reason you want to switch to this new diet isn't important. The only thing that is important is that, yes, you can eat vegan and be a bodybuilder. I want to help prove to you that you can have all the energy you need, as well as the protein, to be a successful bodybuilder and reach the gains that you have been striving for.

    In this book, you will find:

    • The best vegan supplements that will boost your workouts and energy

    • The top bodybuilding advice that can prevent gains

    • The most powerful foods you can eat to improve your bodies anabolic processes

    • How to gain energy without animal products

    • What it really means to eat clean

    • What you can do for your gut health

    • How simple nutrition is the key to gaining more muscle

    … And much more.

    I understand you may still be unsure about going vegan. I get it. There is a lot of misinformation out there for bodybuilders and non-bodybuilders alike. You may be worried that your energy will lack, or that you won't be able to gain muscle like you have been. When you choose this book, you will learn the facts about bodybuilding and a vegan, plant-based diet. You'll realize the rumors you have heard are unfounded.

    Even if you have only eaten a traditional bodybuilding diet, you can make the switch to veganism without losing what you have gained.

    I know you want to make the switch to veganism. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. So if you are serious about this, scroll up and click buy now.

      Metabolism Reset Diet - Mary Nabors

      Introduction

      The number of obese people is growing each year and with it, the number of people suffering from diabetes, or other illnesses and conditions related to obesity. In fact, most of the diseases caused today are caused by the food we eat. In past centuries, people were dying of diseases that can be easily cured today. But if those illnesses are not such a big issue nowadays, we have more severe issues to think about: diseases caused by our own food.

      Do you know what the most common feature of food is nowadays? It’s that most food has a very high-calorie level.

      Make no mistake, calories can lead to energy, but only if you burn them, not just eat them. Otherwise, it’s like fueling your car with a tank full of gas, but not going anywhere. Most people stuff their faces with high-calorie food, but really don’t have the time, or the ambition to burn those calories. And that’s when the problems start.

      The second issue with the food nowadays is its very low nutritional value. The rich-nutrient organic food our forefathers ate has been slowly replaced by processed food, which mainly focuses on carbs, and not too much on proteins or healthy fats.

      In the category of carbs, you can easily include sugars and starches, therefore you shouldn’t be surprised if the high

      consumption of carbs will boost your glucose level in your body.

      Glucose is the default energy fuel your body uses on a daily basis, but what happens when you are not a very active person?

      It will not be consumed, so it will simply get stored in your blood, increasing your blood sugar levels.

      Sound familiar? It probably does because if this process gets worse, then it can lead to diabetes. You are probably wondering now what you need to eat or to do, to prevent this from happening. Keep in mind that obesity and diabetes are the least of your problems, as everything can get a lot worse. Eating this way may lead to more severe conditions like heart, liver, kidney diseases, possibly even cancer. Processed food can cause a lot of issues to your body, and it can even lead to deaths. In fact, you should consider sugar more dangerous than drugs, alcohol or tobacco, as most people are hooked on it.

      Natural food is not really natural, as plenty of vegetables and fruits are being tampered with all kinds of chemicals. This is why we need to distinguish organic food from what we normally see as natural food. There are plenty of farmers out there who are no longer letting the vegetables, fruits, or animals grow naturally. They use plenty of pesticides on the veggies or fruits, and grow their animals using concentrated food. All these substances eventually end up in our plate, and can seriously affect our liver or other internal organs.

      In supermarkets, you can have a difficult time finding organic food, as most of the food sold there can be easily considered processed. When we are bombarded by this kind of food, with very low nutritional value and extremely high-calorie value, it’s really no wonder why we are so vulnerable to diseases. If we have to consume this food in huge quantities just to feel satisfied, it’s only a matter of time until we gain weight and start getting fat or even obese.

      Many people started to follow diets to lose weight, but the problem with most of these meal programs is that as soon as you quit the program, you will most likely start to gain weight again, and eventually end up with the same weight just like when you started the diet. You need something sustainable, not just something you can follow for a small period of time. In other words, you need a different lifestyle to have for many years to come. The change may be drastic, but it’s required with the food you consume when you eat it, and also the way you exercise.

      This is where Intermittent Fasting (also known as IF) can come in very handy for you! Don’t think of this practice as a religious, as it’s not done only for these purposes. Perhaps the first thing that pops in your mind when you think of fasting is the Ramadan practiced by Muslims all over the world, or by other religions like Christianity or Judaism. Practiced for religious purposes, fasting represents a period of spiritual and body cleansing.

      Intermittent Fasting is also about cleansing, but it’s more applied to the body than your spirit. Think about a self-discipline process that combines scheduling your meals, being more careful with what you eat, but also exercising. This is what Intermittent Fasting really is. As you will find out from this book IF can be practiced on a daily basis, or less frequently.

      If you want to find out everything there is to know about Intermittent Fasting, like benefits, how it works, the best methods to use, but also why the Eat Stop Eat program is one of the best IF methods for you, then this is the book for you. In order to maximize the results of Intermittent Fasting, it’s very important to eat healthily. This book will provide you tips about the food you need to eat, but also some of the best recipes you can use for this program, for every period of the day.

      Chapter 1: Intermittent Fasting

      1.1 Definition

      Most people would probably consider Intermittent Fasting just another diet to lose some weight. However, is this procedure just a regular diet? Or is there a lot more to it? Well, first of all, Intermittent Fasting is more about scheduling your meals, than what you really eat. Your body needs nutrients to function properly, and calories to burn for energy. Everybody needs to know exactly when to eat, and when to let the body burn some calories.

      Therefore, you can consider Intermittent Fasting the noble art of scheduling your meals, in order to maximize the calories burn process. As it turns out, this procedure is less about what you eat, and more about when you eat. You don’t have to make radical changes into your diet, you can eat the same food as you normally eat, but it’s very important to schedule your meals.

      Why?

      Basically, if you fast on a daily basis, you are literally dividing a day into an eating (feeding) window and fasting period. Let’s say you normally eat from 8 am to 8 pm; that’s your standard

      feeding window. The period from 8 pm to 8 am is the fasting period, when you don’t consume any calories at all, so you are not eating anything (you are just drinking water, maybe). You don’t have to be an expert in nutrition to know that we eat huge amounts of carbs during the day, and these carbs are the most important source of glucose. As we’ve mentioned previously, glucose is the default fuel for our bodies, but if it’s not consumed, it gets stored in the blood, raising the blood sugar level. Sounds familiar?

      People often confuse the fasted state with the fasting window, but make no mistake, we’re talking about two different terms here. If the fasting period is pretty clear (the timeframe when you don’t eat at all), the fasted state is more related to the fuel

      the body uses for energy. That’s right! When the body can’t use any more glucose, it has to switch to an alternative fuel. So yes, your body runs like a hybrid car, switching the fuel type. The difference is that your body normally runs on glucose (which can be compared to petrol), and the alternative solution is the fat tissue (which can be compared to electric).

      The fasted state is when the body switches the energy source from glucose to fats. As you can imagine, it normally doesn’t happen right after your last meal, and it happens 12 hours after it. The fasted state is the best time to burn some fats, therefore, a lot of people prefer to work out early in the morning, on an empty stomach, when they had dinner at least 12 hours ago.

      If we put all this information together, we can come to the conclusion that Intermittent Fasting is the practice of refraining from consuming any food within a specific period of time.

      Now, when you have three consistent meals per day, plus snacks, it simply doesn’t allow you a fasting period of more than 12 hours. In this case, you are not really fasting at all. Here’s the catch: you need to decrease the feeding period and increase the fasting period, in order to feel like you are fasting. Most specialists would agree that having a fasting period of 16 hours can be a great start. This will only leave you with 8 hours of a feeding window.

      Most people can’t have three main meals within this timeframe, so whether you like it or not, Intermittent Fasting leads to a decrease in calorie intake, so you consume less food. In most cases, this means just renouncing one meal per day. Most specialists would agree that it’s better to renounce breakfast, as it allows you the extra time in the morning to exercise and burn fat. Therefore, if you have your feeding window between noon and 8 pm, you can work out after 8 am (because that’s when you enter the fasted state and only eat at noon).

      It may sound easy to say, but Intermittent Fasting involves a lot of self-discipline and restraint, as you might experience hunger, possible headaches, and you might be tempted to eat although it’s the fasting period. Practice makes you endure easier these

      challenges, and if you have the right mindset, you can go through the fasting period, even if it feels way too long.

      Probably by now you have a better understanding of what IF

      really is, therefore, you will not think that Intermittent Fasting is:

      - a super formula to lose weight, as you will not lose too much weight per week (even if you are not eating anything). You can expect to lose less weight (but constantly), so bear in mind that this method encourages weight loss in baby steps, that’s why it’s more sustainable and healthy at the same time (unlike most drastic diets which are very harmful for your overall health);

      - the best diet out there, as you can find better alternatives when it comes to diets. If you want to lose weight fast, Intermittent Fasting may not be the best choice for you.

      Just think of IF as one of the best options for a stressed and busy individual.

      - mandatory, because not everyone needs to lose weight, or not everyone can follow this procedure (as you will discover later in this chapter). You can consider Intermittent Fasting as a more moderate method to lose some weight, unlike other radical diets.

      To sum up, Intermittent Fasting is about:

      - setting a fasting period and a feeding window;

      - the longer the fasting period is, the higher chances you have to enter the fasted state, burning fat;

      - for daily fasting, chances are that you will skip a meal, and this will eventually lead to fewer calories consumed.

      However, if you really want to maximize the effects of Intermittent Fasting (and you will soon find out that they are not only limited to weight loss), you really have to combine this procedure with physical exercise and LCHF (low carb, high fat) diets. In other words, you will need to work out and eat healthy in order to have better results with Intermittent Fasting.

      1.2 Benefits and Facts

      You are probably wondering now why any normal person would go through hunger and possible headaches just to lose a few pounds. Well, people are not doing this procedure just for weight loss, as there are plenty of other benefits also. Some of the most important reasons why you should try Intermittent Fasting are:

      ● a lower level of oxidative stress and blood pressure;

      ● obviously, fat burning;

      ● it speeds up your metabolism during the fasting period;

      ● it allows you to better control your appetite and blood sugar, but also your cardiovascular function.

      Bear in mind that people can participate in
