I always saw it as trendy bullshit.

Personally, I would look for more simple and long term steps tyo clean up my diet, and just drink more water.

Cut out all the processed bullshit, star eating more regular, smaller,  meals, etc

I always found the best step in situations like this is to start keeping a journal of when and what you eat and drink. 

It will need to be a bit detailed, with youcalculating the amount of calories per day, protein, carbs and fat. This way you have an idea of what you're working with, and can easily recognize any obvious issues, and then start working from there (think of it as someone asking you what's wrong with their grow w/o outlining their growing conditions).


Also, if you're a vegetarian, pay special attention to your protein intake, especially if you're living an active lifestyle (for endurance athletes I think the recommended intake is1-1.5 grams per day).

But for two quick fixes to that bloated feeling after meals, I would just drink more water (shoot for a gallon per day), and try breaking your meals down to 5-6 small snacks/meals per day.

"However, I just want to say that the vegetarians and protein stigma that has seemed to be around forever is pretty much bunk. If you eat a varied enough diet, you really do not have to worry about protein at all."

Sure, but the problem is that people don't put that much thought into it and basically stick with their standard, unhealthy, diet, but now without the meat. 

I literally know dozens of veg-heads who eat stuff like french fries and and white pasta for every meal.  And chances are, if you're eating like that, you're probably not getting enough protein


"Raw food diets are pretty much pure vegetarian unless you do the whole raw milk thing which seems questionable at best."

Though I would never do it, there's a big movement with eating raw meat, as part of a raw diet.

"I'm actually a major fan of sashimi, and I will likely stick with that because I feel animal products supply certain necessary nutrients that plants simply don't produce."


I can handle some shashimi. 

I'm talking about a qp of rib-eye bloody as fuck, washed down with some raw eggs

"Go look for recomended protein intake... you will come up with a hundred different numbers and if you dont, your not looking hard enough. Truth is there is no agreed upon intake of protein, ever notice how there is %RDA for everything but protein on nutrition labels?
The only certain thing is that the only way to be truly protein deficient is to eat nothing but pure sugar. "

As far as i am aware of there is disagreement about antiquate intake concerning pretty much every nutrient.  And the reason an RDA recommendation doesn't appear on packaging is because it's a variable number, based on body weight:


""""The recommended dietary allowance
(RDA) for protein is based on how
much you weigh. The RDA is about
0.4 grams protein for every pound of
body weight.""""

You're not going to experience much muscle loss just from taking it easy for a few weeks. And Atrophy is the type of shit people worry about when they are actually bed ridden, or immobile in some way.

well I guess I'm doing it right in terms of the detox thing, I've been shitting my brains out the last two days and I had an absolute rage of a headache last night. I hear that's all an expected part of the detox process so I'm gonna just suck it up, but man I was dying last night for about 2-3 hours. I think the hardest part is that I'm trying to still exercise daily in order to maintain my muscle mass and stamina during this otherwise my muscles will just atrophy and all my weight loss will be from muscle and not fat (not that I really have any fat to lose, but still).  The physical labor is definitely wearing me out though.
One thing that's really nice though, I feel great in the mornings now. I don't feel groggy in the slightest when I first wake up, I just feel fantastic and practically fly out of bed.
