Vegetarianism and bodybuilding for the ectomorphic individual

[Guest guest]

Are you using Total Nutrition? I would think if you were very careful it wouldn't be a problem.Fahad <fahad111 wrote:

 

 

Hi everyone,

 

I have asked this question quite some time back, but i forgt the answer so i thought i would ask again. I have been working out at my gym for the last 3 yeras or so now, and I want to build up muscle bulk and size. I do not naturally have a big boned structure to start of with, in fact i have a more think light boned structure and I tend to not put on body weight very fast. All the bodybuilders at my gym said it would be a mistake to adopt a vegetarian diet. I am consuming about a gram of protein per pound of body weight and eating 6 small meals a day consisting of chicken or meat and potatoes and some veges and protein supplements. While I am somewhat happy with my progress, I am curious that If i adopt a vegetarian diet, whether I will lose my hard earned body weight and muscle, i am looking to build muscle mass and size. I would be interested to see what your ideas would be. I have difficulty taking milk products. Unfortunaly here in Pakistan , especailly in Islamabad, its difficult to find the herbs that are mentioned in the files. I would be interested in your response. And also how a vegetarian diet would be superior for an athelete or bodbuilder in the long term.

 

Thanks
