12 Week Vegan Body Transformation (Game Changers Diet) || Max's Monthly Challenge
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- This month (actually last 12 weeks!) I've transitioned my diet to 100% vegan to see how I would feel and how it would affect my gym and overall health. Overall I'm excited to say the results have been fantastic and I'm definitely going to be continuing to be vegan.
If you are interested in trying veganism for health, ethical & environmental reasons I highly encourage it!

I encourage you to tackle your own challenges and together we can inspire a community of people that learn more, do more & live more
If you are interested in trying the vegan diet I'd be happy to try help! DM me @maxhertan on Instagram.
I’m very interested
Sorry, but there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that plant based diets are superior for health. Keep researching. Congratulations BTW 😊
Very nice video. I think this is the best way to promote a vegan diet as lots of people are expecting incredible gains and become disheartened. Your message is that you can still gain and thrive on the vegan diet, in my opinion- is a more sustainable one👍
@@LawOfWar here here, finally somebody with some sence
What is the secret of your underarm wings? Which exercise? Please tell sir.
I'm going vegan for 120 days. I'm digging it so far and I tons of natural energy. I feel freaking fantastic. The down side to is that outside family eats badly but I'm starting not to care anymore.
Right on, it's like hey others are gonna do what they're gonna do especially if you tried to bring up what they should change for their own good and they don't wanna do it, all you can do without being that overbearing vegan person is to let them do what they'll do and you do you and hopefully they'll see your results and want what you have. If they complain you can just kick it back with something like "Aw that sucks, I feel great." lol
nice bro i could never
You need to supplement
1. B12
2. Iodised salt (replace normal salt)
3. EPA/DHA algae
4. Vit D3
I am slowly transitioning to a whole plant-based diet and I'm on my 3rd solid day now. Vegan diet and whole plant-based are different..
How is it going now? Have you seen a good overall change?
Alkaline vegan is the best way to go !
They really is 😩💯
@@datruth4099 which is pretty much a minimally processed, plant based intake of fruits and veggies 👍🏽
are you still vegan
No beans, lentils or tofu 😲 what kind of vegan diet is this?! 😂
It's a plant-based diet from a trainer that believes our food is protein deficient, that tofu gives you moobs, and the phytates and lectins in beans are deadly. Also, where are the leafy greens and fruits? This was distressing to watch.
@@tamcon72 you're right! Game changers was very much promoting whole-food plant based not protein powders. Hopefully he can include more variety in the future!
@@MsLiv13 Yep. It isn't any more trouble to open a package of frozen veg, tofu, or tinned beans and microwave them than to mix up a protein shake. Hopefully moving to California will help him to see his diet can be more varied without being a hassle.
I found this hard to watch too! I was interested to see the progress and meals but all that processed stuff? It might be simple but devoid of nutrients and whole foods.
Missed some nutrition as well. Smoothies with fruits and leafy greens, oatmeal with fruit. Up the leafy greens and the fruit.
That documentary was great! I flipped from essentially carnivore to vegan. Day 1 is actually today lol. All I can say is for anyone making the switch... Slow Cooker is your friend!
Great Jeremy! You’ll love vegan 🙏🏼🌱
You’re doing your body a great service 😊
You Will probably become a lot older by switching to vegan.
How did you go? Would love an update!
I feel massively better on Carnivore, high fat moderate protein. Even a vegan diet doesn't stand a chance on how good this feels. Mental clarity is unbelievable. Mainstream carnivore diet is stupid. They think you just eat a piece of meat and that's it. Paleo Medicina teaches you the correct way to eat carnivore.
I gave a thumbs up because I really appreciate that you did this challenge! But I have to agree with the other plant based commenters that the diet seemed to be missing a lot of great vegan non-processed protein sources. Good luck in LA btw!
I was vegetarian for about 2 years and then I became vegan few weeks early before watching The Game changers.
Boom! 🌱 Hope you are feeling great.

i was thinking about getting fit for a while yet i also felt like it might be difficult because i'm vegetarian (not to mention i'm a tiny 5'1 gal), but your video is really inspiring :)) as other comments said, i feel like you might have been missing out on a lot of meatless protein sources like tofu and such, but it was still really cool to see your results!! thanks for making this video! :>
I am going vegan. I hate that I inherited an animal diet & it was considered the norm but I can’t beat myself up about it - I love this video because it inspires me with how simple it is. I also love how you use Thorne supplements, something Dr Rhonda Patrick advocates & she’s ridiculously educated when it comes to biology. It has always bothered me, internally, that I’m part of the environmental, morality problem. I think I’ve driven myself to the edge hence looking at your video. I felt like I was starving myself of nutrients because I didn’t know what to look for but also avoided buying animal products. This may sound controversial but I think cannabis made me question myself. I smoked chronically at some point & used psilocybin for cessation & that alone gave me an overwhelming feeling, psychologically, to stop eating animal products. I also had a dream whereby I witnessed a cow’s death but I could feel it’s suffering. I cried when I woke up. This is youtube & I’m a bit cynical when it comes to being deep or an open person to randoms. However, that’s my brief story & thank you so much for doing this video - it took time and effort for the transformation alone. More power to you. If anyone reads this & has tips, let me know. Much love. Peace ❤️.
I am so ethically inclined, but I am so addicted to sugar and processed foods, especially over the past 6 months. Yikes!!! I need structure, for sure. I've started cycling and running daily again (a week ago), but my diet is still horrendous. I will check out the resources you mention. Thanks for the inspiration!
Kvothe Newarre Can still get plenty of sugar and processed foods on a vegan diet, my guy. Good luck with it.
@@ArthurKingoftheBritons404 Yes, of course! For me, the addiction is heavily inclined toward dairy-based treats. I was an athlete and I often trained on a vegan diet, sometimes eating vegan ice cream. I never ate as much vegan ice cream as I can dairy-based. It's an insidious combination, dairy & refined sugar.
Game Changers was such an awesome and informative Doc! My Bf and I have been making small changes like being vegetarian, I have always disliked red meat and I’m allergic to most seafood so cutting chicken wasn’t too hard! Another great video Max!
Whoever is reading this is beautiful and can achieve anything :)
Yes!
🔥🔥🔥
Same to you. Blessings
Jemir JemirP Thank you :)
Thank you for your lovely comment! It made my day. ❤
This series has helped me to be a more productive person and to go after anything I want to learn
Zack Spudking 💖🙏🏼 love it Zack
Max Hertan after seeing your video on piano, I have decided to try learning flight of the bumblebee myself. I play piano so it should be pretty fun. After watching your video series, I’ve started meditating, living with a minimalism lifestyle, sleeping better, waking up more productively, and body building more effectively. Thank you for the inspiration to be the best version of myself, after watching your videos I came to realize that it’s not too hard to be a productive, happy person.
Zack Spudking thanks Zack, one of the best comments I’ve read. So glad you are crushing your life. Best of luck with bumblebee, it’s brutal. My suggestion is take it slower then I did and make sure you look after your hands/forearms :)
Max Hertan Thanks for the advice Max, I’ll keep it in mind and when I’m done in about three months I’ll send you the video through Instagram
Zack Spudking please do! I’d love that.
Congratulations! You looked great before, but you are really ROCKIN' it now, dude!
I highly recommend Healthy Crazy Cool (Miles), sweet potato soul, happy pear, or hot for food for some snacky boiz (all on UA-cam) to see how vegans really do eat.
I'm glad that you shared meal that I would actually like and that doesn't arm nature! Lots of vegan diet shows avocado, or soja based food to replace meat.. But I live in France so really not a good place to cultivate those! If I'm gonna quit meat it's not to pollute more with my food travelling across the world
I see avocado and soja everywhere on the internet and as a french person I also know many vegetarians eating an avocado a day which is incredibly wrong if you respect the environment... somehow I feel like it's considered "compensating" from being vegetarian
@@Lobeby exactly! That is frustrating
Started on a Plant Based Diet last Monday. Day 6 and my head is asking for chicken, ham and fried rice. I had beans on whole meal bread, a banana and 2 dates for breakfast. I was 17’ 8lbs on Monday, I sneakily weighed myself on Wednesday 17’ 14lbs. See where I end up.
Sorry 17’ 80lbs on Monday Wednesday was 17 46lbs.
This really nice. I started with a 5 Day Vegan video -- hope to continue to at least monthly to get more healthy. I need more vegan recipes.
what were you eating (not supplementing) for Omega-3? Did you have nuts, seeds, avocado? Also good to see someone talking about oxalates and selenium finally!
Solid cut! One thing I’d say is, work on more overhead pressing, Klokov pressing and farmers carry’s if you want to fill out your upper chest/collar bone/traps region more.
Your thumbnail was like a teleshopping ad before after like before people were depressed and after using their product they became super happy
Haha, I had a before of my smiling but it looked weird :P
This is going to be a good video!! Thanks dude
I became vegan overnight, the night I understood (animal slavery + destruction of the planet + human health + misleading medical marketing).
In a few months, I found my cruising rhythm with the ingredients, the menus that I like, etc.
It takes a long time to develop deficiencies (and if you eat fresh and varied vegetables, even without being very informed, it's very unlikely), so don't panic: you can become 100% vegan by conviction and then learn, along the way.
It's a lot of work to decondition yourself from all this food learning to poisoning. But we can stop making animals suffer right now. ✊🏼 #antispeciesism #amatterofjustice
That's awesome 🙏 and inspiring, I've been vegetarian for 16 years and I become vegan for 4 days I'm so happy, Thanks for the video💖
you still vegan?

Wow haven’t seen from you from a while
I'm still posting every month :) UA-cam algorithm can make it hard to get in front of subscribers. ❤️
Great to see how the vegan diet worked for you!
Loved it! One tip: just eat all the whole plant foods there are, and try to incorporate as many different plants as possible and at least all food groups on a daily basis, that is fruits, veggies, whole grains (oats, pasta, whole wheat bread, cooked grains etc.), pulses (beans, chickpeas, lentils, split peas), nuts & seeds, and herbs & spices. Can't go wrong with that
You won't get b12 from any of that. Lol
@@MrSingh1150 right, as I wouldn't from animal products either, if the animals wouldn't be supplemented B12. In our current agricultural system, everything is sanetized, which is great because we don't get all kinds of infectious diseases from our foods (or should I say plants, as eating animals is the root cause of 70% of the pandemics we face), but we don't get B12 either, which is produced by bacteria which are washed away. So 3 options:
1. kill and eat animals who have been given B12
2. eat plants and take B12 extra
3. grow your own food and make sure not to wash all the dirt away.
As I don't want unnecessary interntional harm to be done to sentient beings and don't have a garden, I think I'll go with option n°2.
@@l-schm then you can't kill bugs, you cant kill flies or mosquitos as they are trying to survive. I bet you killed so many innocent bugs in your lifetime.
You're about to be debunked about b12. All the animals including us make b12 in small quantities some make more others do not. Humans do not make efficient enough of b12 hence why we have to consume animal products in order to meet our b12 needs. Before I go deep into this and unwash your brain cells from all this vegans garbage. Do you know what b12 is? What it does to our bodies? Do you understand that plants or seeds do not have b12 or if they do its in very small amounts?
You see veganism is a plague and a religion that needs to be clensed so that people don't torture themselves and their kids and pets which I am highly against.
The reason why people start feeling good after switching to veganism is because that they go into starvation mode and all the levels in their blood count drop as no source of meat in coming in to replenish b12. B12 is the major vitamin that contributes cellular energy transport production sorta like a factory that has 100 trucks ready for transport rather than just 50 trucks. That's what that vitamin do and their are other vitamins that help the body function better. All vitamins are just transport catalyst for cells to produce energy. I am not stating vitamins are a source for ATP production.
Thats just a brief overview of b12 I can site sources if you want but spreading misinformation to humans that only plants and seeds and fruits are the best way to a better life while they starve on b12 inefficiency no man to me there should always be balance in between the too. Just like you can't over drink water you can't over eat meat or vegetables.
@@l-schm don't even get me started on the reasom why the pandemic happened and don't use that for your garbage argument that veganism is better than meat eating.
why not get you started? If you're open-minded, can I at least recommend the video: "Pandemics: History and Prevention", ua-cam.com/video/7_ppXSABYLY/v-deo.html because it's a good one
take the example of elephant is the strongest animal in land and elephant is a herbivore
MAX deserved a lot of Subscribers
What do you add in meal 3 and 5? It was kinda hard to hear andI couldnt read the packaging. I've been vegan since march last year was a vegetarian before. I'm way more excited now about food, awesome to see you made the connection as well.
Lupin flakes
iron & B12 are what supplements you need as a vegan but my guy, that is not enough food!!!! you need legumes, tofu, etc. for protein (not something you need to worry about at all though), nuts & seeds or avo can be your fat source, dark leafy greens for iron, and vegetables for fiber! That is similar to a starvation diet just looking at it your starving your body of nutrients you need and stuffing it with protein shakes to stay full. HELL NAHHHHHHH as a 9 yr vego and 6-year vegan who is an athlete EAT MOREEEEEEE
💚💛🧡🧡💙wow, good work!💚💛🧡🧡💙 would be keen for a possible future video on time-saving ideas for meal prep while hustling & staying healthy.
Great Content!! love all your challenges, they are inspiring. Subscribed!
Yeah I'm back here. 12 month review. My blood results was shocking, after alterations and tweaking throughout. Not worth it guys, eat your meat, atleast once/twice a week for overall health, hormones and mental wellbeing.
Watch "what the health "
Please link all the stuff you have in about the 4 minute mark I am trying to do this diet this summer!!!!!!
so happy to see such positive feedback. welcome to the right side of history. do you feel awakened?
I'm excited to be vegan and hopefully play a small part in other people's transition :)
Nice video this gave me some motivation. Love how you setup the timelaps.
A Plant based diet for humans make ALL the sense in the world. Just look at our teeth.
They 're Not made for tearing as in animals.
What if some have naturally long fangs?) Are we built for tearing animals?))
The lightening at 8:00 isn't the same at week 1 vs week 12. Look at the shadow the arms are producing.
You need to double your calories my friend! If you really want to pack on mass, double those calories and include some heavy powerlifting days in your week.
Even on a vegan diet (if done well) you will get BIG
Youre such an inspiration to me keep it up
Do a 30 day push up challenge
"Not too strict" vegan.. I could do that too. Vegan in the night and morning :D
Great video
That’s not 6%
8:50 that vegan burger better have a egg free yeast free bun
Could you please post a list of everything you have mentioned here please.
In only 12 weeks wow holy
I’m curious as to why no tofu, lentils….
Cool video but personally think the diet you used was garbage, huge lack of variety and quality foods, no beans, lentils, tofu, leafy greens, nuts, etc. if you eat a more balanced and high quality diet protein powder is unnecessary
'' ANIMAL LIVES MATTER, TOO! ''
Chocolate flavoured rice hurt to hear
Hi,
So you were not eating based on how many protein you needed per day?
Seems like you weren’t tracking your macros
I had set meals to ensure I'd hit my macros - I was having 200gm's of vegan protein per day.
No disrespect, but this is the "vegan" diet nobody can afford. Why so much package foods and powders? I have beans, a rice cooker w/50-50 rice and wheat, nuts and seeds, and hit the farmer's market once a week to stock up on whatever is fresh and in season. WFPB is the healthiest vegan choice that delivers all around results.
Mayvers peanut butter is by far the best peanut butter in the world!
Btw what part of Australia r u from
Great Video ..and Discipline Too! 😅
Thank You! ✨😃
Does microwaving your food kill it?
what was the food you missed the most?
Nothing! If i missed a burger I'd just have the beyond meat burger which is amazing!
Eating that much supplement protein is actually bad thing supplement are supplement for reason try to get more whole food protein
I don't think it is when you are eating low impact protein sources like pea protein. But if that was a concern there are many other sources, I'm just lazy when it comes to cooking.
2:00 no way that's 14% bodyfat
Edit: 8:10 6.6%? Man those test were rip offs xD
They were absolutely false.
6.6% my ass!
it could have a lot to do with his bone structure and stuff, he has wider hips so that could add weight that isn't fat. Any weight that isn't fat lowers the fat %, he could also just carry a lot of fat on his midsection and close to none on his legs, its all relative, its obvious that he made a MAJOR improvement regardless
Yeah, they’re vegan and are on juice
I bet if you just dieted normally with this workout plan, you would have the same results. Joe Rogan did a carnivore diet for all of January, and he said he felt the best he had in a while. He lost lots of body fat, and got his abs back.
I don't disagree but the question I wanted to answer was can I thrive on a diet that aligns with my values. ❤️
@@MaxsMonthlyChallenge good point Max
did your values get reinforced when you decided on an identity change for this?
Because honestly I tried Vegan for 3 weeks, liked some elements, but still wanted to explore more diets, then tried Keto and had even better results.
Would you consider trying to adjust your values for the sake of a new metabolic profile that may improve your mental performance?
your values may be more malleable than you expect
Elijah Hi there. Definitely not. Values can be changed with new information but not to suit my short term needs. If I’m against the unnecessary suffering of animals then I’d be acting out of integrity to be anything less then vegan - particularly if I can be healthy and thrive on that diet.
glad you make the distinction that it's not the vegan diet being healthy, rather that you can be vegan and remain healthy
@@MaxsMonthlyChallenge yes, values can be changed with new information and also change to suit short term needs, that is resolution of dissonance
best wishes with your diet man, I'm a fan of your channel. hope it brings you well being and probably a new'ish audience too
we dont have lupin flakes in America :(
My only regret is not going vegan sooner.
You need some beans greens and fruit in there
Looking good Max, keep going!
💪
Did you count calories or no?
Had a meal plan to ensure the right macros and calories. So no counting but strict plans.
I Saw this 2 weeks ago and i started with New diet
Watch out L.A 😎
Ye Boi!
Pretty inspiring content for a vegetarian like me. Is it possible to get to 90 kg lean mass (10-12 % body fat) in a year on a vegetarian diet?
absolutely 100%
People make losin weight so hard bro like just go vegan it so simple. You’ll go from the biggest in the room to the leanest
The main benefit of veganism for your health are the added vitamins, but you barely ate veggies at all
Im hungry im going to eat broccoli
It's good you're against animal cruelty but vegetarianism unfortunately still allows for unjustified animal suffering. I'm glad you are continuing being vegan, I haven't watched the full video but if you don't know you should look up what happens to dairy cows and egg laying chickens and male chicks. Not trying to diss you, just a pointer.
What is the couscous mimicking product that is high in protein spelled?
Lupin :)
All reasons are got reasons to going Vegan, but don't forget veganism is not a diet its all about ANIMAL liberation.
You gunna try the carnivore diet like Joe Rogan and Shawn Baker?
Hey Derrik! No, as it doesn't align to my values and I'm feeling great eating plant-based :)
@@MaxsMonthlyChallenge I respect that! Keep making good content!
great job
Awesome!
Niced more and more when I want something sweet. Usualy i would think of Sneakers now i think of some fruit smoothie.
Good Luck living in LA!
No way in hell you are at 14 body fat at the start
Nice video
#dubbingworld
Thanks. Consider eliminating oil. This is a highly processed vegan diet because there are a lot of processed foods. A whole food plant based diet without oil and would be healthier. Too many processed foods and with nuts isn’t advisable.
Previously I was very much against Veganism because of the preachy hippy types associated with it. I love cooking and eating tasty meats but having some experience with agri industry know how bad it can be. Game Changers was very biased but its no worse than many diet fad documentaries. Are you still doing it? I'm interested in what the anti inflammatory/performance benefits might be.
The ethical vegan argument has always been solid IMHO and the reactive crap you see from 'macho' men is in hindsight pathetic. No human should take satisfaction in animal cruelty and the dairy/meat industries involve so much suffering of animals its undeniable. If you have ever raised animals yourself you just know the economies of scale factory farms must be truly atrocious.
those are some bad abs genetics... same here bro 😌
first 30 seconds: buy your meat at your local farm... problem solved :-D
A powder diet
What are they doing with those poor chicks??
haha i am a veganer (dont know whats the word in english, but u know what i mean)
You can do this without being vegan 😂
Nobody said he isn't able to do this without being vegan.
Absolutely nonsense u worked out it didnt come from diet only
Now do 12 weeks carnivore.
Weak, no fruit bruh!
jesus this isn't a whole food plant based diet at all. So much processed crap
Eggs are bad for you. The studies are endless and conclusive. If you don’t believe that, consider this: let’s say the studies are 50/50 good vs bad on eggs... Compare that to say water. What ratio of studies suggest that water is not good for you? Do the same analysts for broccoli, or carrots, fruit, etc... In other words, if it’s too close to call, it’s a red flag. Take that egg lovers! Btw, the the egg industry itself funds a lot of the egg studies...
wulfgar3000 not a fact you’re eating a fetus
Is it possible, yes
Is it scientifically valid, no.
You on about carnivore diet? Yea I agree.
