Question: find ANY diet in which a person can bulk BUT they cannot eat any starch, fructose, dairy proteins, or meat please

Reply in thread

I take a bunch of supplements and multivitamins

Jesus. You Americans (or your nationality of choice) are crazy.

  1. If your food requires you to take a bunch of those, either:
  • you are ill, and in need of professional help

  • it is not food fit for human consumption.

  1. Assuming first, you gaining weight might be hard, so if you have chronic health issues you should've mentioned that. Hormone issues can literally prevent "bulking up".

  2. Assuming second option, to bulk up you need proteins and calories surplus and exercise. You can eat anything that meets your other criterions as long as you make sure of that, even paper or tree bark with coconut oil.

  3. Soy is the best plant based protein source - highest DIAAS score. When you prepare it correctly (protein combining, predigestion) it goes up to 0.9, which is 2/3 of a chicken. Impossible meat has DIAAS score of 0.86.

This is the tricky part about vegan diet compared to omnivore diet - plants have lower bioavailability than meat. You need to aim into eating more proteins per kilogram, ideally 2.5g per kg of target weight (vs 1.6 - 2.0 on omnivore diet).

So if your target weight is 180 pounds/80kg thats about 200 gram per day of proteins. That is quite a lot, so likely you'll have to eat 5 dishes a day, each with about 40g of proteins.

That is massive amount of food, a lot of fiber, you might get bloated or constipated, so soy/pea protein isolate powder might be something you want to look into (to help you meet the protein threshold, not to be your main source of protein) - and if you're gonna incorporate it into your long term diet, you need to rotate brands and protein powder sources (rice, pea, soy, blends, etc etc).

What software does not exist but you wish it did?

Accurate search engine that strips ai generated articles from search results.

Accurate product search engine, that finds what I am looking for instead of ads, and includes searching by what the product is made of, it's shape etc. Last time I was trying to find no glue no glass non-welded no plastic tea infuser it took me far too long.

36-year-old left the U.S. for China—now pays $1,000 rent and $100 for groceries for family of 4: It's my 'version of the American Dream’

working at a chinese company would be fucking awful

I got floored when I was told they get 5 days of paid vacation (10 if you worked for 10-20 years and 15 days if you worked for 20+ years) , and no vacation for the first year in a new company, and they have like ~7 days of public holidays.

Oh, and no paid sick leave (for a flue etc - you will get it for operations and similar but they must be dona via public hospitals).

Meanwhile here in Poland we get 5 weeks + 13 public holidays, and if they happen to be during weekend you get an extra day free later, and it's considered rather low for the EU. And unlimited paid sick leave, including for fatigue etc.

women

But they do commit ~50% of spouse murders, so at least thet have that for them?

Oh, and the women are vastly underrepresented in the victim statistics.

Interestingly, some researchers when they control for provocation, do find that the difference is because of gender norms, and without them the violence rates equalize - see https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2F0033-2909.119.3.422

Another fun fact, when it comes to incarceration rates women do tend to get more lenient sentences because they are women (and act pitiful on the trail) - however it is slowly changing as more and more judges slowly learn to ignore that bullcrap.

It is fun :)
