I'm trying to cut down my body fat for the summer. Hoping to get down to about 8% or so. Currently at about 10%. Just wondering if anyone is on or has tried a vegan diet and is willing to share their experience and whether or not they think a vegan diet would give me that extra edge. I weight train and do cardio about 4-5 times a week and try to remain in a caloric deficit, but getting into that single digit bf range has been tough. Thanks to anyone willing to share

I went vegan for 6 weeks and lost 25 pounds in that timeframe. It's not very sustainable though, unless you're prepared to make every meal yourself. Not too many diners or restaurants have vegan options.
Fuck that shit. I can't live without porkchops, chicken breasts and good ol' T-bones.
Flame on!

I would reduce weight training and cardio if I start the vegan diet. Probably 2-3 times per week

Oh ok. Well, I could also settle for the lacto-ovo vegetarian diet, I suppose that would be more flexible and give me a bit more options. It's carbs that are my problem. Like seriously if I eat a piece of bread my abs are done! lol

Hey, I hear you, I really LOVE meats. Don't get me wrong, it's just I haven't been achieving my goals while meat is in my diet

lean meat and you should be fine. i.e. chicken breast and fish

Very true. When I was dieting, I stuck to fish (Basa being my favourite), turkey substitutes for whatever meat I was eating (f.e Turkey Meatloaf), and small boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

Hmmm...I have been eating these types of meat but still not in single digits of bf. I guess I could just cut my portions to half of what they were
