1 vegan plan INTRODUCTION adopting veganism Animal cruelty and exploitation is big a problem we’re facing right now. They are suffering for inhuman reasons. The only known solution to feeding an overpopulated planet is a vegan society. Those are all good reasons to go vegan. None of those reasons made me a vegan. My life is based around my body. I am experimenting with different methods to obtain and sustain a healthy, good looking body. That’s why I tried many diets such as Flexible or Ketogenic, and I had massive success with all of them. So if I’m not into the Vegan Diet for the sake of the animals and have other diets that are working too, why am I a vegan? It’s all because of the results. I am 100% that a Vegan live is the way humanity is supposed to life. Why? THE RESULTS! People literally hate on a lifestyle no one is forcing them to live. I fell for the bad reputation of the vegan diet and avoided trying it for many many years. 2 vegan plan INTRODUCTION my reason Then a very good friend encouraged me to try it. He didn’t talk about the typical reasons to go vegan: He didn’t try to make me feel guilty for suffering animals, but listed me the HEALTH BENEFITS of a vegan lifestyle. And he was totally right. I tried it and here I am. I never had this type of strength, I’m in my best shape and my endurance is crazy! I’ve never felt this healthy in my life and I’m in love with the results the vegan diet gave me. Once you’ve learned how to do it, it’s so easy to integrate into your lifestyle, with absolutely NO limitations. You don’t need to miss out on anything (except meat of course)! I’m a Vegan because it’s the best diet for my goals. If your goal is to become strong, well shaped and healthy, go Vegan. It’s the best way. In the following pages I’ll explain how it works. 3 vegan plan INTRODUCTION how does it work Every diet is about your calories and macro nutrition. To get results fast it’s important to know your maintenance calories. Click here to find out yours. From there, you can go into either a caloric deficit or caloric surplus. Then there are the macros: - Carbohydrates - Protein - Fats Your body uses those macros to fuel it’s energy. Carbohydrates are it’s main resource, but it will use up protein and fats if there’s no carbohydrates to get the energy from. There’s a 4 myth that carbohydrates are responsible for gaining fat and people leave them out of their diet. Don’t do that! You need carbohydrates to fuel your body and for your muscles to grow! For cutting, we still want to eat less than usual. vegan plan INTRODUCTION calorie counting For our caloric deficit, you want to be in a deficit of 300-500 calories. There is one option for you to know how much of food that is: calorie counting. It’s a stressing thing to do, and you’ll probably hate it. That’s why you don’t need to do it forever. You need to find out how much of food is the right amount for you, so you can adjust your diet approprietly. Afterwards: Leave the counting out and do it based on your feelings. It takes some time to figure it out, but it’s totally worth it! So when beginning, count your calories. I did count my calories YEARS ago and based on that, learned how much food I need to eat to be in a deficit or surplus. It’s better to start learning that right in the beginning so you head is clear for other stuff in the future of your journey. Don’t be lazy on that part! The following plan delivers you meals day by day that will guarantee you making your muscles visible and losing fat the healthy way! If you stick to this plan closely, success is guaranteed. 5 vegan plan INTRODUCTION intermittent fasting This diet is based on intermittent fasting. That means that you don’t eat or drink anything nutritious before working out. The effectiveness of the diet has been proven by me. Over the past year I’ve been working out consistantly and maintaining form and after a while even improving my fitness. I’ve used multiple ways of dieting in the past, and this has by far been the most effective and reasonable method I’ve seen so far. Keep in mind that if you are diabetic or need to maintain certain levels within your body. Don’t put the diet before your health. Also this diet is not an addition to regular nutrition, you should use it as your main and only source of food, this means that you need to get all the nutritious elements of a healthy diet using this method in order for it to function as predicted. 6 vegan plan INTRODUCTION intermittent fasting Switching to an intermittent fasting diet expands your limits and boosts your performance in a number of ways. Here are some of the powerful benefits of intermittent fasting: - Boosts fat loss - Increases energy - Saves muscle - Promotes cellular repair and autophagy (when your body consumes defective tissue in order to produce new parts) - Reduces insulin resistance and protects against type 2 diabetes - Lowers bad cholesterol - Promotes longevity - Protects against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s - Improves memory and boosts brain function - Makes cells more resilient 7 vegan plan INTRODUCTION how does it work Your day probably won’t be the exact same as mine. Your activities may restrict you from replicating my day - but here’s how you can implement my approach into your own life. My fasting always ends after I finished my workout. This results in my body using up the energy it stored in its fat cells instead of the food I eat. This is the most important thing to implement. Don’t eat before your workout. Don’t fill yourself up with soda or unhealthy drinks. Stick to water, tea or coffee. After your workout, you can eat your meals according to my plan. Try to fast at least 14-16 hours between your last meal and your first meal on the next day. How to eat less: Drink liquids before you start eating your meal. Your stomach will fill up with the liquids and you’ll fell less hunger. Cook less. If there’s less to eat, you won’t eat more! Use smaller plates. Stick to that one plate and don’t refill it! Implement low calorie, stuffing food. Easy to do if you follow my meal plan! Eat slower. If you eat slower, you’ll feel WAY earlier then your body has had enough. It’s the easiest trick to implement! 8 vegan plan INTRODUCTION a typical day HOW TO DO IT: It’s simple. Don’t eat for an extended period. People tend to snack their calories in by mindlessly grabbing food inbetween activities. That’s why a lot of people gain weight. All of those small calorie shots add up to a caloric surplus. Avoid this by knowing exactly when you eat and what you eat. Here’s my typical day of intermittent fasting: 7am - WAKE UP Water, tea, coffee (0 carb liquids until the workout) 12-1pm - STARTING THE WORKOUT 3pm - FINISHING THE WORKOUT Right after fruit post workout (Breaking the fast) 3:30-4pm - FIRST REAL MEAL 5-5:30pm - SNACK 8-8:30pm - LAST MEAL 9 vegan plan INTRODUCTION spices Spices are crucial for every meal cuz they have soo many benefits! Up from building up your immune system, improving your skin health and reducing cancer risk, there’s no reason better than their simple TASTE to use spices and seeds with every meal. Those are my favorites: - cumin - Black pepper ( my favorite) - Paprika - Chilli - Onion powder (my favorite) - Nutritional yeast I also add all kinds of seeds with my meals because of their high protein and fat intake. 10 vegan plan INTRODUCTION seeds As far as seeds go, they are a great way to add texture and flavor to your meals. There’s not really any limit to adding small extra’s to your meal to improve the experience of the diet. My favorites are: - Chia seeds - Pumpkin seeds - Hemp seeds - Sunflower seeds - Sesame seeds 11 vegan plan INTRODUCTION veggies Green or any kind of vegetables are the key to a healthy diet! So be sure to eat a variety of them with every meal! In the plan are my favorites but if you have preferences to a different vegetable There’s no problem to change them!

I fell into peace with myself by simply living the life others only dream of: That’s sticking to my goals, following 69 my passion and endlessly improving myself. Let THIS improvement stick to you. Let’s go for it, Dejan Stipic
