Ha Shalom everyone
Hey everyone welcome back to my channel my name is Justine for those of you who don't know me, and I'm the West Coast vegan
Today, I'm gonna be filming a vegan couples Q&A with Snitch I get a lot of questions
About Mitch or about us
So I just thought it would be nice to film a video and trying out some of your questions the question was
Where you both vegan when you first met?
No no we weren't I've been vegan for four years now
You have been for two
Yeah, and we've been dating for six years, so
The next question is who went vegan first alright, we already answered that but I've been before
And I'd like to say that I played a part in that
And yeah same question next question is how long have you both vegan sews for years and tears
Are you and Mitch both on a fully vegan diet?
yes, I was vegetarian for a year before going vegan but
You scientists I'm vegetarian relations come on my month or two yeah, I can't do things halfway
No, so we've both been fully vegan for pretty much the entire time
I know a lot of people do like vegetarian or maybe have like cheap meals like we have a friend who's
Kind of vegan during the week, and then I can go about you
might eat
Chicken or fish so it's like really do whatever works for you, but for us in your folio diet
Okay the next question is how many days a week do you work out and what type of workouts? Do you do?
I would say that we both work out probably at least four or five times a week. It's a little challenging sometimes in school
yeah, depends on a week, but it's like generally four five times a week and
What type of workouts do we do?
So I do a lot of like circuit workouts. I like doing like running trail running I
Just a lot of resistance training
Like free weights out and he has an injured shoulder so he does a lot of like
I do a lot of shoulder rehab stuff
that's around the shoulders, and we also we really want to get into more into yoga this year, so
We also like to do that we do it like yoga at home, but we really want to get more into like
actually going to the studio and
Going to classes two times a week. That's
Okay the next question is how many calories does Mitch eat in a day, so we've actually done what I eat in a day
Like what he eats in a day, and I'll link that up above here. You can go check that out, but yeah usually
Probably anywhere from
3,500 to 4,500
Yeah, like I'm starting right now about 3,500 so I'm going to drive, but all the weights
I'll be increasing the fourth the next but most of his calories come from like grains
Like Heaney nut butter see a
Little bit of protein powder like something yeah, I'll probably start doing like maybe one and scoop the day
But not mostly just because of its convenience more than anything. I'm a very convenient eater
I don't I like cooking but when I'm in a rush to do things
I always try to yeah do things most convenient, so shakes are really helpful for me, but definitely wants it from my card
So don't be afraid to Mars because there's always our friend like good ol sources
It's really not a bad thing the next question is what is the best way to increase muscle mass and boost testosterone?
levels for naked diets the soy in my diet can make this challenging
One thing I do want to say about soy is a lot of people. There's like misconceptions about the phytoestrogens in soy and
people often confuse those with real estrogen but
Like that but effects that bio estrogens have on your body are so minimal in terms of like a hormone response
And they're actually protective against certain diseases, so I think the ratio of like
phytoestrogen intestines like 1 to
10,000 times there's a chance it's not even and if you're really worried about eating soy, and you're consuming meat and dairy products like
You're getting real hormones in those type of products so soy as long as it's non-gmo
It's actually quite healthy for you, and it is a really good protein source and the source of so many other things like calcium
And all that so I wouldn't worry too much about the soy, but
best way to increase muscle mass and just testosterone um I think just in general of
Ways to increase muscle mass would be resistant weights out training in the 'no chloric
Surplus yeah, making sure you eat enough cuz it can be hard on that vegan diet especially with him
He has to eat like he's falling lot because you can eat so much
And it's so much less calorie dense
And you're eating plant-based verses especially well when you do have a heavy based diet you're getting a lot of saturated fats as well
which have a
nine calorie
per gram
Ratio
Yeah, so when I did stop eating meat. I would have a lot. You know you're having four calories per gram
That's a lot harder to get that quality or quantity
rather
So I don't have to eat quite a lot - yeah
quite a lot more so now I've been starting to get a little bit more nut butters and
Seeds and nuts because it's a lot easier to get increase calories plus your second
But honestly I would say to like this testosterone
I don't know if it would necessarily boost it, but just taking out an animal products from your diet
She has like we said you're getting a hormone from the animals, and they're not
Meant for humans, so just taking that out of your diet will help you
Like get to your natural levels
Yeah
I wouldn't say that we've done extensive research on specifically how to lose
testosterone meat versus a plant-based diet what I can say from myself personally is I do get my blood tested, which includes my estrogen and
testosterone every three months
and since I did stop eating a plant-based diet my
testosterone
Hasn't necessarily gone up, but it definitely hasn't gone down
It's gone up like maybe a couple points
But it definitely hasn't decreased or anything like that so that's just from my personal experience
But there's definitely a lot of research out there that
Okay, so the next question is do you guys go out and drink much or do you try to avoid drinking?
so
Yeah, I mean we used to go out, and we should drink and like kind of
Party quite a bit more. Yeah, like yeah, we I used to drink quite a bit
Yeah, I would say now like we just don't really like we don't really want to do it as much and we don't really find
Ourselves like leaning towards doing that type of thing like going to a club on the weekends
we would just rather like go out for a nice dinner and
Movie or like spend quality time with our friends versus like going out. It's honey. - once you start feeling so good
I noticed this when I started
Eating a lot better and caring like with my body is you feel so good, and then you have a day of drinking?
And you'd feel terrible I can eat do something I feel terrible for 2 3 4 days
And now I get hungover so quickly so it's just not even worth it for me
We're not saying. It's bad to go on and drink
Like if that's what you like doing that doesn't do it
And that's not saying that we don't occasionally have like wine or beer and stuff like that
But on the whole we just don't really go out and like
Get wasted and pardon to you stuff like that because we just don't only have a desire to do that anymore
No, then I when I go out I sleep in and then I don't get stuff done
I like to try to use my time really wisely no
I think I just rather spend that quality time when you're talking face-to-face with your friends
And like go up for a nice dinner with them or with each other so that's kind of our view on it, but again
Whatever works for you ok the next question is what is your favorite snack?
This is really hard for me
I
Really like date bombs where you like open up the date, and then put peanut butter on the inside
I'm really really like any like baked goods to like any sweet thing or fruit. I'm really yeah
I like fairly big sweet tunes. I like savory foods. I think for me. I don't really have an audience now
Yeah, I was gonna say it might probably might snack with the avocado toast
It's not me you snack, but it's really quick
Ok and the final question is what super hairos would you both be I?
Think I probably be Catwoman because I loved cat so much she's pretty badass oh
I'm just with Catwoman is a superhero
Okay
