So…can you retain muscle and strength on a vegan diet? even when not working out? Even when not working out for SEVEN months?
let’s take a look at my lazy ass attempting to do some strength training after a 7 month hiatus from the gym.
Today I’m going to briefly addressed the question of whether one can retain muscle and strength on a vegan diet. I unintentionally performed a perfect experiment for this question. For the last six or seven months I have not set foot in the gym. I haven’t done any strength training—or even cardio really—so when I went back to the gym a couple weeks ago, I was interested to see where my strength was at.
Check out the video about to see how it went! Long story short, after about seven months of no strength training and no real overt physical activity—but eating a vegan diet—I was still able to retain a lot of my strength. While I was definitely not in the shape that I was before this break, it does go to show that a vegan diet is more than sufficient to retain muscle and strength.
Now, I’m not advocating sitting on your butt for seven months. But most people think that if you’re on a vegan diet you slowly waste away and lose any muscle mass that you might have.

hi
i m at the chicken slaughterhouse in vancouver protestin each friday am-
but
since it all starts with animal mothers on farms
does any group address the need to convert the farms to other non animal production
there is OVER production of grains
and livestock-which is then forced upon the 3rd world nations as charity livestock donations which poor peolple are forced to buy and feed and water them-theres been suicides among these receivers of charity-
and cullin is the ever present solution applied
to keep prices rising-govt officials own shares in these industries-taxpayers own shares too thru crown owned investments,canada bonds,certificates etc
thnx 4 yr help
i wish to support the protestin at animal farms
