Secondly, watch this speech by Doug.

Should clarify things further on the diet front.

Finally, watch this speech by Bill DeSimone, will clarify on the injury prevention front.

So first off I would like to give you a quick background on myself.Here are the main points
-Skinny dude that has never been able to put weight on (6’2″ 150lbs)
-Born and raised life long vegetarian.
-I suppose grain based vegetarian.
-Very active, work as a mountain guide
-Ride a bike to work
-average 12 hours of some level of exercise a day (both my work and transportation)
-26 years old
-history of many traumatic injuries

I have always been happy with my health but in the last 5 years I have had many traumatic injuries mostly due to high impact adrenalin sports. I am getting to old to keep this up, something needs to change, and I am willing to do about anything, except quit participating in high risk activity, its my life. I think maybe my diet and work out needs a change. If I were stronger I could prevent injuries such as this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdOkoMLZHPg (this is my destroying my left knee) where my knee literally just gave out. I think if my legs were stronger I would have skied away, I though I was going to up until my knee buckled.

So here are my questions-
–Because I am very active how many carbs a day are recommended in a diet like this? or what percent of my diet?
-Should I start eating meat? I am willing to make this change if it really can make me stronger
-Has anyone else had similar injury problems and if so what where your solutions?
-I guess I am also looking for some encouragement, it may seem weird to all of you but as a life long vegetarian the decision and motivation to start eating meat and make the change is more difficult then one might think.

Thank you all so much, I would love any constructive criticism or advise.

And, no, “medical evidence” certainly does NOT prove “artery clogging fat”. Quite the contrary actually.

Welcome to the good life bud.

I have been on the “Body By Science” protocol for a coupple of months now and based on my own personal research I have also started experimenting with various supplements (i.e. Creatine, Carnitine, Whey Protein). I am a lean athletic guy (6’1”) who isnt after bloated muscle but I am rather aiming at building continuous strength long-term while seeing progress with a defined muscular physique.

Your opinion/comment on supplements (quality, quantity intake, other tips) would be appreciated.

Thank you so much

All the best to you 2 guys!
