The Vegan Solution: Why the Vegan Diet Often Fails and How to Fix It is almost here. It will be released on June 5th. I decided to write this book to reach out to struggling vegans with my “methods” for an increase in metabolism. This is something I discussed many months ago at the dawn of this project in the post Why Vegan Diets Fail. It’s not anti-vegan nor is it pro-vegan, it merely goes into the many common?mistakes vegans make that are anti-metabolic. There are many of them – dubbed “The Frigid Fourteen” in the book.I then go on to, of course, lay out some guidelines’that have been effective for vegans and non-vegans alike.
It contains some new features not found in my other books, such as The Metabolism Equation and a 10-item Metabolism Scorecard to go way beyond the use of a simple thermometer to gauge overall metabolic drive.
Chris Randall has a few guest chapters in the book. Chris,?youtube stud,?was a personal?”client” of mine for lack of a better word to describe him, and had?his body temperature rise more than 2 degrees with all the expected changes accompanying it as he will write about here later this week. He will be a 180D site author, so you will hear much more from him?beyond this week as well.
I decided not to publish this book on the site, as it is not really intended for the site audience. So it won’t?be available in the Platinum Collection or as an individual book in pdf form. It?will be available on June 5th in every other?format imaginable though – paperback, eBook, and audio book. The listings are coming out now, but please refrain from snatching it up until the 5th. We are working out several kinks right now, but that should all be ironed out by Wednesday.
Anyway, here’s a trailer of sorts. See you on Wednesday…
Wow first!
Dagnabbit, Matt! Where was this back in the late 90’s when I gave a crap about being vegan?
My friend went vegan 2 years ago. She got pregnant with her 2nd child and continued to stay vegan. Well, that was until she started passing out, suffered debilitating fatigue and other symptoms. The doctor told her she does not eat enough protein and fat and she better stop being vegan.
She regularly eats pizza and burgers now and she is feeling amazing.
This happens all the time in my friend circle. Everyone wants to be vegan. Then they get sick and their doctors make them change. They are all nuts lol
I am reading it now and I love it and I send great love to my Mattie Cakes too
dat hag
Veganism almost killed me. All of my health issues are the direct result of being a crazy vegan: weight gain, hypothyroidism, hair loss, fatigue, cranky bitch syndrome, PMS/total insanity, killed sex drive (oh, my poor hubby), depression/anxiety, brain fog, you name it. I did all the stupid protein combining and nutrient analysis. I was not deficient in anything, except for calories, real food and common sense. OMG, what was I thinking? Well, that was before I turned paleo, and my health took a further nose dive. I was a complete mess. Really, I cannot believe I’m still alive after all of that stupidity. So, I have been RRARFing for a couple of months now and I feel so good. My husband is happy too because I’m not cranky anymore and we’re having sex again. Oh, and my boobs are bigger.
Work it, Mama!!
Can’t wait for Wednesday!
I wouldn’t mind receiving it now that I’ve bought the Platinum Collection, even though I wouldn’t ever think of veganism as an option. But I respect your decision not to include it, Matt. I hope the book reaches the people who need it.
No Lifetime Member love, huh? But I guess if there’s PDF there’s nothing to do.
Very freakin coooooolll!!
Great vid! It’s already June 4th right now where I live. Does that mean I can have this book in one day?! ;-)
BTW: Matt I put in my email address above in the place where is says to receive your 180 Starter Kit. Done it like a half dozen times but I’ve never received anything?? Is it a mind twister for your loyal fans or what.. ;-)
All set! Put in my email once more & it worked. Thanks
Kick ass porn track at :54…sweet!
Rob, Chris, and I were all pretty proud of that. The video was all Chris’s doing though. Kid’s got some kind of fierce sex drive. 900 grams of carbs a day will do that I suppose.
Wow, that’s a lot of carbs! What are his sources? OJ, Bananas, dates and…what else? (Man, being a vegan would make me crazy)
It’s going to be hilarious to see the vegan trolls like duranduran rider hating on you for writing this book.
p.s. at :54 — is that Earth, Wind & Fire?
I don’t think there will be much durianrider trolling. Chris is super tight with those guys.
Chris eats other fruits too, plus taters, rice, curries, yams, and other foods. Still mostly fruit, dried fruit, and juice though.
When body parts start disappearing…….eat meat! My adult son’s “lunule” or moons on his fingernails vanished along with his stamina and well being. This happened rather quickly but he ignored the signs until he could hardly function in normal life. It’s taken a whole year for his moons to reappear and for him to recover.
Heather, if you’re still reading this, would you mind elaborating on what your son did to get his lunule back? I can’t get mine to reappear… and I am dragging health wise.
Matt, as you dedicated a book to the vegans…would you consider writing (at least) a blog post to endurance athletes as this also isn’ 100% “180 degree health”? I am a distance runner (1500m-5000m) just because I love my sport and I love track workouts…It does require to do some miles (I keep the volume as low as possible, “just because” junk miles and to stay somewhat lean. I also want to maintain (metabolic) health…This topic might interest other individuals as well?
That’s a good idea I.G. Suppversity is a good source for that kind of thing as well.
Hi Matt,
I’m planning to write a book covering diet etc. I want to write something about vegetarism/veganism and am intending to buy your book. I was wondering, have you included references to scientific papers. If yes, thumbs up, because it gives your writings a lot more power, whether you are right or not. Of course I understand that ‘science’ today is messed up by pharmaceutical companies etc. Just curious!
Pieter
Some, yes. But little of it applies to something you can reference scientifically.
Jimmy Moore did a entertaining interview with vegan John McDougall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_WoySDX4g0
Oh geez. McDougall doesn’t even play nice with the other plant based vegan doctors. I can’t imagine he was anything other than rude and condescending to Jimmy.
I’m curious, Matt, if there are certain conditions or circumstances (omitting ethical concerns for the moment) that would lead you to advocate a vegan diet for someone? Might there be people who legitimately do better without animal foods, and if so, why might that be? Or, is it always going to be making the best of suboptimal food choices, in your mind? (Damn, that’s a lot of questions.)
Damn, that’s a big question. In my mind full-on veganism will probably always be too extreme to advocate full-on. There are many people that benefit from eating fewer animal products, but none? I don’t know about that. The book discusses the many reasons that veganism or near-veganism might be theoretically advantageous, such as methionine restriction and lack of Arachidonic acid. Purines and uric acid might also be another factor.
Thank you, Matt! I have checked “suppversity” already but I would love to know your thoughts because your ideas seem to be experienced based, easier to follow for the layman than highly scientific stuff!
It’s vital to eat one egg yolk per day to retain health – mental and physical health.
I was lacto-vegetarian since birth (56 years ago), then a couple of years ago I became vegan. I am healthy, I am very active and I have high level of energy ( workout 6 days a week). I believe that vegan is a healthy diet.
