Give it a try it's not only a good exercise once you get a hold of it but it also very fun if you jump with music.

Why are you not feeling your best? Beacuse you don't do what you're usually do, when it comes to training and diet. It's OK to train a Little less and and cheat with the diet for a while but you can only do it for so long then it start's to show both in your performance and looks. Now when summer is over do I look forward to get into my usually routines again:-)

Just a thought that came across me last night when I coulden't sleep. My biggest grip by staying so much at hotels is that I have major problem sleeping, so if anyone has a tip for me how to deal with that you are more than welcome to leave a comment.

I go through a spreadsheet on crononmeter showing a full day of eating of mine and what I shop when I stay away from home to remain healthy on a high carb vegan diet.

It's was very sloppy of me not to check the camera angle before I shoot this video but it's all very new to me so you have to bare with me.

It's easy to blow up your own small problems out of propotion. An hurting ankle is nothing, really nothing to complain about.
SaiGon (Vietnam) street travel thank you my friend for sharing a good video. I wish you good health and a nice day. Greetings from Vietnam to all of you...🇻🇳👍👍
It’s bewildering you are perplexed with your physical form! Where are you up to now?
Thanks for asking😊 I’m doing pretty much the same as I did back then. I eat the same but I train about 1/3 of what I did because of my right shoulder that keep getting worse. I look the same a bit thinner hair though🥲 but body wise there not much of a difference.
Are you still high carb low fat low protein?
Yes! Pretty much the same as before. A whole food diet.
Hey Mads! What are your thoughts on bread? And pasta?
Omg how did you find my channel 😀 I eat them all the time. Not so much pasta though but bread. I shall admit that porridge or other types of cooked whole grains feels better but when I’m on the road I eat a lot of bread. But I generally have it with only lettuce and tomatoes and not with any nut butter because I eat so much of it. But when I’m home I prefer whole grains or porridge. If you have any questions I’m more than happy to answer them if I can.
SoyBoy Thanks man! You have some of the best results I’ve seen from the vegan diet, and it’s especially impressive for your age. Which is why I ask! Do you still eat very low fat? I saw in one of your videos you ate over 4000 calories and you’re super lean. Do you still eat like that? What’s your body composition like these days?
I’m pretty much the same when it comes body composition. I’m not training nearly as much as I did due to my current job. I’m self employed now and I travel a lot. I try to keep my diet pretty strict during weekdays and a little more slack on weekends. Berries, greens, fruits and beans are superfoods. The more I eat of those the better my body looks. Yes I still eat relatively low fat. I always starts my morning with two glasses of water and a tablespoon of flaxseeds and chia seeds that I chew for a good 3-4 minutes. It’s actually taste pretty good when you get used to it. But it has to be 50% chia otherwise it gets to bitter. Other than that we might ad some coconut milk in some dishes. Walnuts a few everyday is something also includes and nut butters but I would be better of without them I guess. I pretty much feels when I need more calorie dens foods then I include more fat. IMO you remain lean if the majority of your calories come from WF carbs. Simple as that 😀
SoyBoy Thank you brother! Much appreciated
Hey mads, whats your philosophy on fat loss? you got super shredded eating over 4000 calories. Was that due to the type of food you were eating do you think? Im kind of torn between the ideas of calorie restriction vs eating lots of clean plant foods for fat loss. Whenever I try to get in a calorie deficit my energy levels tank and I become weak and useless with poor sleep and digestion. Whats your take on this?
Ordinary guy Hi there and thanks for asking me-;) I have been vegan for exactly 7 years now. And I have eating pretty much the same macro ratio the whole time. Perhaps I was a bit lower in protein the first two three years and therefore a bit higher in carbs. I would estimate my carb intake is around 70%. To be honest the only thing I concentrate on so many years in my(for life) vegan lifestyle is to eat as much whole food as possible. But honestly don’t see a massive change in appearance if I eat whole lot if bread as long as I don’t smear them with a lot of nut butters compared to porridge for example. My beliefs is that it is hard for a already lean person to gain fat on a carbohydrates rich diet because it’s like you probably already knows, an unnatural thing for the body to do. There might be a little bit different situation if you have stored body fat to get rid of. Then you might have to restrict your calorie intake somewhat. My advice would be as eat as much green foods and beans as you can. Personally I love those foods and eat them daily so for me there is no sacrifice. If there is anything I can help you with just let me know. Good luck to you 😀
SoyBoy Thanks for the response. So you do think calories matter? Im already somewhat lean 80kg 178cm, a lot of muscles because I used to do bodybuilding. What do you think of this sample day of eating for fat loss? I want to get really ripped Morning: Tea and an apple Lunch: Wholegrain bread with light jam Dinner: Bulgur with beans and veggies Supper: Oatmeal with apple, raisins and almond butter comes down to about 2600 calories with the portion sizes I eat. I dont do alot of exercise these days. How many calories do you think you eat on a sedentary day? As you can hear its the whole calorie thing thats confusing to me
Ordinary guy I eat the same whether I train or not. I do not train very much anymore due to I’m self employed since four years and pretty much work 10-12hours/day. If you wanna increase your metabolism I do not think it’s a good idea to skip breakfast. I would eat most of my calories early on in the day and less in the evening. I would have one of my meals as a big salad it will fill you up with a lot of fiber and water. Purely from a weight loss perspective I would keep the fat as low as possible. Probably not the healthiest choice long term but for maximum weight loss it probably are. I do not know your age but I’m 51 and my metabolism is like a 20 year old. This is not only a good thing. High metabolism equals rapid aging. It’s a nice thing to eat as much as you like though without gaining weight but I try to think about it a bit more now than I did before. If I were you I would eat a lot of fruits in the morning and whole grains and beans and veggies for lunch. And then the salad in the evening with beans of course. That will make you loose weight if you keep it clean like that.
SoyBoy Thanks alot, appreciate it
Did you say oatmeal is bad ?
ape in a dreamscape No absolutely not. Oats are my staple and I eat them every morning -:)
SoyBoy Do you eat differently these days than u did back then? I’m the same size as you and kinda active and I have no way of eating 3500 kcal+. Should I worry about it?
ape in a dreamscape No. I was influenced that he more I ate the better it was back then. There is no truth in that. Eating more than you need is a good way if you want to age fast. If you think about it the body is in constant face of processing calories and has less time to heal itself. Eat till you full. Some days you eating more than other it’s nothing to worry about. I’m still a big eater but I’m not trying to eat more than that I’m full.
SoyBoy Common sense. Thanks bro
Hey Mads, how many calories do you eat on average each day? Did you lose all the fat eating this much? I want to get as ripped as you without restricting calories. Much love bro
I’m on my seventh year fully whole food plant based and still lean. As long as I center most of my diet around Whole Foods it works for me. Since lack of time I haven’t had opportunity to work out more than once or twice per week last couple of years. Doesn’t seem to have much affection on my body fat. I eat as much as I like every single meal the only thing that I think about when it comes to eating is to not go bananas with my fat intake. With that said I do eat nut and seeds and peanut butter daily. I hope that helps you:-)
Takk :)
im glad you realised the truth about harley ( saw your comment )
Hi Emily Yeah I almost feel cheated on. What was revealed yesterday is soo sad to see. I have followed DR since 2012 I don't agree with everyone of his videos, but this is something else:(
Mats The Vegan Gym Rat yeah, it is a bit like that... feeling cheated on. its amazing how somebody can wear lots of different masks.
Why do you talk about this guy so much? He doesn't seem like a baf guy. Good video. I subscribed, Bro.
are you ever going to make that skipping rope tutorial? :)
Do you ever post on here anymore? IG acct? Twitter? Solid physique!
IMO the best chest exercise.
wear black eye mask. put in ear plugs. put tv on to fuzzy channel for white noise to block out other noises. cover windows with blankets to make it as dark as possible. lock door and windows. have water next to bed. adjust room temp to your preference. if u want anything ask the hotel for it. Make yourself comfortable Preferably go to sleep when it gets dark and wake up when the sun comes up. 2hours before u want to sleep, lay in bed, laugh, smile. An hour before u want to sleep, lay in bed in pitch black silence(or white noise). After you wake up, open window curtain to let sun in, eat breakfast then exercise 1+hour(preferably outside in fresh air and sun). Eat something yummy, like your fav fruit, before bed (then clean your mouth before bed) Before u sleep, think nice thoughts/how u want the world to be, listen to music, think about what you want to do tomorrow. Sleep so you can have nice dreams and have energy to do what u want to do tomorrow. I hope you're able to sleep well. :D. If you still have problem, think what is causing it and try to fix it. You can also ask me for more tips. :D thanks for eating vegan diet :D
Yassss! Tutorials plz!
Awesome channel, with a great message. Keep it up! :)
An old recording that I had in my computer, I hope this will Wake me up so I start posting videos again:-) Kind of boring and long but you have to sort of roll along with it :-) Have a nice weekend!!
Hey great channel! this has encouraged me to work out more so i can look just like you! Keep on uploading! by the way congrats on 90 subscribers! i subscribed to nudge you to 100. 98! ur almost there!
Thanks for your kind words Jesse! Don't forget our little advantage over most other gym rats, the whole food plantbased diet, that's the most important thing when it comes to remain muscular and lean. I will uploading videos again soon. I had a few doubts if youtube was something for me I must admitt, but I have decided to continue doing them. It just to HTFU and contimue. Thanks again my friend!
Thanks for the tips dude! Im glad you have decided to make videos again!
Super Nice!
Nice vid. Work on the audio on these though. We ca t hear you
It bothers me that people tell me I'm shoving my beliefs down their throats when I talk about veganism. Aren't they forcing their beliefs on innocent animals?! How many innocent earthlings must die for people's convenience and tradition?! :-/
Rerelease this video and call it lobster and more people looking to cook them would see this
great physique!!!
Thank you ;.)
Gotta love a vegan male that debunks all the misconceptions out there that us vegans are weak, pale and look unhealthy. You're an inspiration! :-)
Love the honesty
Thanks Tacha I appreciate your kind words:-)
Show us your weight loss transformation and what you did. Never would have guessed you were once overweight and out of shape. Would be huge inspiration for people. Best
I was like 30 pounds heavier than I am now for 5 years ago. Unfortunately I don't have many pics without clothes from then. I can see if I can find something.
Good Stuff Mats!! Keep up this kind videos, really interesting~
That was really nice of you to say Ali, thank you!
I am not sure if it's an option for you, but Sony Movie Maker has a really user friendly interface for editing and there are a lot of tutorials for it here on UA-cam! Thanks for sharing your lifestyle and all the info!
Hi Nikki I will look it up right away, thank you:-)
nice toilet!
awesome!
Woo! Freelee brought me here. :)
What do you eat in your daily diet?
Well hello!!
Really interesting. You should do more videos on your diet and training!
You have such a beautiful house!
That pool is AMAZING MAN!
oh thank you! So very nice of you to say that :-) I'm proud that I was able to finish that Project but like I said I woulden't do it again.
I can relate Mats! Just started my own channel, but I love this lifestyle and this message needs voices :) P.s. you got another subbie! P.s.s sind Sie Deutsch?
I'm glad you found my channel. Yeah I have since Woostock last year thinking that I have to start a channel and when I've heard Durianrider not to long ago saying, if you only hit one person it's better than not doing anything at all. After that I decided to HTFU and start doing it. I subscribed to you aswell. so let's do this together my friend :-)
Do a vid showing your upper body physique. Great job man!
Hi Yeah I thought of doing that with part 2 but I just caught half of me. I can do a better one next week.
Please don't do editing. It's lame. We're here for the info, not the special effects. I'm subscribing. Do well, bro!!
Thanks Sean! I'm going to Copenhagen with my wife over the weekend so I will continue my un edited videos since I haven¨t had any time to learn any skills in that department yet.
This is the exact sort of info I've been wondering about. Veganism and fitness. Its so hard to find anything about the two subjects in combo. I've considered trying it but haven't made the leap yet simply for the fact there isn't enough information about how it works. Thanks for starting your channel, subbing for sure!
Hi Nikki! The good thing with a low fat vegan diet is that you can eat a whole lot of Foods without gaining weight, atleast that how it works for me. I started to use cronometer just to se where I'm at calorie wise and it turned out that I'm eating approx 4000cal/day and this summer I haven't done any serious cardio and I still look pretty much the same. But the best with the whole thing is that it feels so good not to have to kill anything and at the same time eat the best and most tasting Foods on the planet in excess.
I notice you have very large veins in your arms, is that natural? Do you use any supplements or steroids or other drugs for enhancement?
Hi Castaway! I'm a full natty brah like Durianrider says:-) I do not use any supplements except for a b12 tablet that I'm not very consistent with. No protein powders or super Foods of any kind, nothing except for Clean vegan low fat, low sodium Foods. Bulk of my calories comes from fruit and startches. I aso eats legumes on a Daily basis. If you wan't to become more vascular google endothelial cells and nitric oxide and then you will understand what it is that makes the veins to dilute so they become more flexible and bigger when you train. Dr Esselstyn have some good things to say about that. .
Mats The Vegan Gym Rat Thanks! One of the hardest hurdles I have come across when promoting Durianriders diet is the fact that many men complain that they don't want to be slim like DR. They want large muscles, like you have. I try to explain that it's the type of exercise, not the diet, that determines the physique. Would you be open to do a "What I Eat" thirty day video series like Durianrider did? Freelee did it too. I know it's a lot of work to organize to film yourself eating every single meal and doing every single workout, but, it would be an invaluable tool for so many men who shy away from veganism, esp. low protein. If you are not familiar with the format for the thirty day food/exercise vlog then you can look at Durianrider and Freelee's channel. They did a great job, I would duplicate that and just eat your own meals and do your own exercise for the video diary.
Castaway I can do that when I have bought a camera that has a better batterie time than my current. I'm just about to load up one video though, where I go through what I typical eat in a day.
Mats The Vegan Gym Rat Awesome! I look forward to it. You can sit and eat in front of your laptop, then when you edit you can speed it up like Freelee does and add a bit of music.
BUT WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN?!!! >_<
lol It must be all the meat I was fed on as a Child, there are still some left in my system I guess. When that is gone I probably have to go back to the wonderful tasting egg Whites again:-) I'm impressed that you found my channel freelee but I'm very glad you did!
You don't need protein to be lean.
cmd exe Say that to bodybuilders that cut on a diet high in protein.
You have a great camera presence Mats please make more videos!. I'm so glad you have started a channel to inspire others to go vegan. We need vegan muscle channels for sure so please keep up the good work :) Thanks for the kind words in the video too. Congrats on your subs!
Thank you Freelee, you are so nice! I must say it! I'm proud to have you as a subscriber Freelee. You and your cute boyfriend are and have been me and Saras biggest inspirations in this journey that we have done together. So glad we found you, I feel better than ever.
The battery died on me::-(
